Build Route - Contractor Managed

Foundation to DPC - N300k (labour), N1.2m (Materials)
Block Work to First floor slab - N300k (labour), N1.4m (Materials)
First floor slab - N2m (Material/Labour)
First floor block work to roof level - N350k (labour), N1.4m


Can you wor

spyder880: Thank you Brabus, your comment is very educative.
@ GabbyTabby, the only reasons I wanted you to upload your own 2 flats floor plans is to highlight the differences between building of the same classification. When people scream because their builder had "ripped them off" and used 3600 blocks to build a house while "my cousin" I called on pnone told me he used 2000 blocks to build same 2 bedroom flats.

Most plans are differnt from each other, I have seen more than 10 variations of the 2 bedroom flats with the biggest being larger than a 4 bedroom flat! The plans our guy that started this thread uploaded is very long, can easily cost more than a normal 3 bedroom flat.

The plan uploaded by Gabbytabby is very small, just like the house I am building now. But its important we note that, some 2 bedrooms are larger than others.

yes i understand what your saying. Size of a plan matters a lot .

kopell: This is interesting as we're watching and listening. By the end of the day with all professionals and contractors in the house, this will make the owner make better decision on his project.

I honestly think this thread is a front page material. Lawyer, can you please push this to the front page?

I am not sure how you came to that as the built area for mine is approximately 10000mm by 15000mm(1584sq ft) while the OP's is 8000mm by 18000mm(1534 sq ft)

The thing to take away is the concept you have mentioned about design is quite important. The OP needs to use the information to guide his decision or not as the case may be. It was a very enlightening discussion.

Built area is immaterial in this comparison, the important thing is where blocks are laid in the foundation. A plan could be much larger but with big spaces where you dont lay blocks. His own plan can almost build 3 bedrooms.

bro can you work in PH?

Sure we can work in PH but it has to be start to finish and we may need to discuss further. I can reached at +2348023429122

Now you are going round in circles

Good day everyone. Im discussing with my Oga @ brabus to see if i can bring him down to the east here for this project....

jaydacorsair: Good day everyone. Im discussing with my Oga @ brabus to see if i can bring him down to the east here for this project....

Of course, he will give the house the expertise it deserves. Go ahead and finalyze the deal with him. This will mean that you are ready for the start to finish work as he asked?

And that will also lead to first construction collabo on Nairaland when Brabus and Spyder's team take on Sir Jaydacorsia's project in PH.

I'm sure I can count on your support at all times.

Bros, please send me an email so that I can forward you the document requested

brabus:

done.. now waiting for your payment schedule.

I have silently followed this thread and will like to say in the defense of the architect that prepared your quote that he deserves the contract. With some effective supervision perhaps you will be able to save at most half of a million. While Oga Brabus is a veteran in building I think one aspect that builders always neglect is the power of territorial control. Except you will be able to provide the required territorial cover for Oga Brabus, I will advise you to stick to the man that knows the terrain well.

yes bro I understand and wish to work with the architect if my arrangement with brabus doesnt work out. I can save more money with brabus. Thank you for your wonderful contribution.

When it comes to local knowledge, there's no substitute, you need a local. Our intention wasn't to move our full team from Lagos to PH to show the locals how it is done. We intend to work in partnership with the locals who had better understanding of the ground conditions and what is required to get the project to the finish line.

U 'may' and NOT u 'can' because it's still assumption which MAY not be realistic. However, Brabus may do better considering what we have seen here.

thank you bro

The negotiation is still on and by Gods grace by next week Brabus and he's team will be here. Borehole drilling and site clearing has been taken care of. I will try as much as possible to update this thread.

Its quite educating following this thread. I just need some clarifications from the experts on type of foundations. Before now, the only type of foundation I know is just 3 to 4 coaches of blocks buried in the ground. Perharps, I relate most with constructions on dry land. Through this forum, I have seen & learnt about raft foundation in water logged area especially in Lekki axis. I could also see that it cost much. So if I buy land say Beechwood estate or area upland of Lekki/Ibeju that I can see is dry land, must I still construct raft foundation? Is it just in case of tsunami from the nearby ocean or everywhere on Lekki must have raft foundation? In these era of austerity measures, isn't that waste of my hard earned money.

Although there are some place in Lekki/Ajah axis that seem dry, but d fact remains that all soil in this axis were sandy soil. In line with science of Building, the ideal foundation for such soil is raft. However, some people use to try block but that may be at there own risk. You will observe dampness in such building later on.

The Project is about to begin!

This is good, wishing you and your team a beautiful working experience in PH. Welcome

@OP, please post your appraisal of Brabus @ the end and during the project. This will enable others patronize or distance themselves from him. Let's wait and see if this can be achieved. Best of luck to you both.
