Good job Jites, keep it up.. my MENS' QUARTER is also progressing nicely. After roofing, I have wired it, bought all 16 casement TOWER windows, made nogging for ceiling, need to buy PVC for ceiling soon, just completed digging of borehole. I am buying doors soon and plastering and plumbing will commence soon too, labor for bricklayer is very expensive in Lagos.

I will post some pictures later and probably start a new thread about "BUILDING OF MENS' QUARTER" compliment of OGA SPYDER880.. once again congrats. Can you post another picture of the roof when it's completely finised?

Jites, can you please tell in details how much the plastering cost? I mean breakdown for cements, sand, and bricklayer labor. You can reply to my email by sending me your email address if you want. Thanks.

My cost of plastering
Expected plastering work:
1. 20 bags of cements @ N1,750x20=N35,000
2. Brick layer (N2,000 per partitionx33)=N66,000
3. Helper N2,000x7=N14,000
4. One tipper of mud sand=N13,000
5. Emergency fund(which include water tank, fuel, etc=N5,000
Total=N133,000

The helper gets paid 2000N per day and the bricklayer estimated 7 days for the work which equates to 7 partition per day but i have told him to take it easy no rush cos Oga spyder say the average is 4 per day, so the guy don mellow now he is doing 4-5 per day.
Those doors are metal doors to keep the place secure a little bit so we can keep material on site overnight, we are repainting them cream cos those colour are hideous lol. pic of one of the protector for the window attached

I will soon start my building project called "MY ABODE" on another thread. I will try as much to give details with pic and as the project progresses. A 3 bedroom bungalow in PHC.

I want to recognize spyder880 and appreciate his supports, I made a lot of inquiry from him like what, what to, how to when to and why etc. He is such a nice man. He encourage me to go ahead and i gathered a lot of experiences from his thread and building expertise. Please watch out for MY ABODE

This is the biggest good news I have heard today, go on and start the thread, you will enjoy the experience. May cash never dry from your pockets as you build your ideal home, we are waiting for the pictures

We are still planning to roof this house, pictures of the wood, treated with solignum lying in front of the BQ.

Just before we began the work today.

And we set to work 5 minutes after jumping down from the vehicle.

30 minutes later, work continues, we can conclude this BQ wood work within the week.

We have completed this roofing wood work for the BQ, pictures coming later.

spyder880: We have completed this roofing wood work for the BQ, pictures coming later.

More pictures from this roofing by tomorrow.

Happy weekend

tlops: Happy weekend

If you see the fun am having here, I got two bottles of wine from two different nairalanders in two different places today, I am chilling them for a super Sunday. Toast!

Looking at our new roof from under, the quality is there.

The completed wood work for the BQ

Closer look of the roof. Stone coated roofing tiles is next, watch this space.

The BQ pictured above, all the materials and labour used to build it, including this wood work for the roof has cost about N390k only. The stone coated roofing tiles comes next.

My oga, are you saying the total money spent to get the BQ to this stage is 390K only?

Thanks and well done sir.

Yes you are right, N220k for the building and N170k for the whole roof works. It is cheap because I did not draw any building plan, I sat down on the site one day and drew the plans with my hands and asked my boys to start digging it. I will start building N1m houses for sale very soon.

House plus land N3.5m in a developing area where land cost is around N2m. We are just starting.

N1m as in land and building or the client provide the land and you build for N1m?

In this particular building, the client provided the land and the building alone cost N1m. But my plan is to start looking for cheap lands and produce the same N1m house and then add the cost of land to it, whatever it comes to, but my prices will be competitive.

Bq building updates, roof to be done on Monday as the queve is long here. Other guys have ordered for roofing and my turn will come next monday.

I am currently talking about the full development of the entire surroundings of this house. The owner of this duplex asked me to explore the possibilities of adding some outdoor sporting facilities in this compound. I had suggested to him that we can fit a badminton and table tennis courts at the left hand side of this house but my Oga seems to love the idea of a lawn tennis court on the right, (pictured). I am working on the details and this might be the first time I am doing this, but be rest assured I will do this very well as I have a good team of experienced men.

Stay tuned as we keep bringing you the best of our offers.

What about a swimming pool?

When I saw this man-made dug out near this duplex and the way rain water collected into it to make it a swimming pool, I took a picture of it and sent to my client, I was not surprised when he asked if we can convert this to a well built swimming pool. Why not? We can do this! I love doing new things as there is a great benefit from new knowledge.

Watch this space.

bugmenot:
Which is more ideal for conveying water from an overhead tank to the house - reinforced plastic pipes or galvanized steel pipes? Are there any specific brands you can recommend?

I am more comfortable with reinforced plastic pipes, Niger brand.
