akereconfi: EveryBody Spydee spydee....... Can I visit ur Construction site @ Spydee....cos am currently in PH now. Lemme see things for myself

spyder880: Now this is the site, on this spot will a mansion grow in 60 days time, I am excited already, join me in this interesting ride as I bring to you, all the "behind the scenes" movements

spyder880: I love building houses, and the attendant challenges that will inevitably come with it. I love making things happen, and working with skilled men to use materials in creating beautiful designs that will make a superb home. I have just been contracted by a Nairalander to build his house in Port Harcourt. The details are as follows;

Project: A 5 bedroom executive duplex
Client : A Nairalander
Duration: 60 days
Project cost: N8.8m (Foundation-roofing, materials and labour)
Contractor: Ckenneths Homes Nig.

This project will start this week as we arrange to travel down to the city and start work. This house comes with all the latest designs in modern building, granite, decent room arrangement with bigger bedrooms, internal plumbing and electricals, special parapet cornice, stone coated roofing tiles, everything.......

spydee411: Did you say 8.8million Naira for a detached house. The budget it not feasible my brother! That money can barely get u to decking not to talk of roofing or plastering

PEN_MIGHT: Amazing! I ve perused through the posts and I can see that the learned ones have spoken,albeit professionally. Few ones too,though might not have a direct authority in the built environment, have helped to set values for post construction evaluations. The eyes are passionately watching!
But let's leave all matter of distractions like wood et all so as to focus on the project at hand.

Certainly,we have not been furnished with enough information to conclude on this project's feasibility or otherwise.

TIME,COST and QUALITY are variables that can only be ascertained to be OK only when interpreted alongside the Project Documents( drawings, specifications)

A 5 bedroom duplex does not necessarily mean 'a mansion'. A 3 Bedroom detached Bungalow might actually be more luxurious than a portable duplex.The designs(architectural,structural and services) make d whole lot of difference here!

Being a duplex necessarily doesn't meant the First Floor slab spans all through the entire building.
There might actually be a 'big' void somewhere. Just saying! I believe the 8.8m is a fair deal if it is not another Asari Dokubo's PH mansion!

Project Duration -60 days. That isn't too short. I'm sure the versatile spyder will multi-task. The major challenge is allowing the curing of first floor concrete which ordinarily should take 24 days but usually not observed. Before the stage,no resting. The critical path sets in here.

SAFETY FIRST- There is no challenge in such a time-conscious work more than ensuring structural safety.
@ Oga Spyder, pls just get the optimum ( not lowest pls) cost on your concrete works and you would ve been a success we always known u for.

U re inspirational. Wish u the best and good profit....

babestell: Am suspecting this op and this thread.

jusRadical: Please mr spyder I would like you to explain to us how you would construct a duplex (one storey building) in 60 days.

Do you know about concrete curing and loading of concrete? Do you know the minimum duration in-situ concrete will cure before it is loaded? Unless you are using pre-cast concrete.

My friend be realistic. Unless you are part of the folks that construct unstable structures.

InvertedHammer:

Concrete curing..in-situ concrete...I can tell that you are one of those that build on paper. Leave textbooks out of this and come to real world---where textbooks matter a little.

My people have a saying that " ka mmiri maa block putara na ego agwugo " (a builder that says he is waiting for curing of concrete by rain is indirectly telling you that he/she has run out of money)

jusRadical: Mr spyder, Of course, 60 days won't be enough for your project, stop deceiving people.
It is not all about cost reduction.

Proverbs 22:1 - A good name is more desirable than great riches; to be esteemed is better than silver or gold. Spyder has made the choice to maintain a good name, not many contractors choose this path.

Almost everyone here continues to vouch for him.
"Vox populi, vox dei" - the voice of the people is the voice of God"

A few years back, there was a great guy here (am_alone) who boasted so much about how much he was spending on his bungalow, he would have completed it by now but that's just one building. Spyder on the other hand has consistently shown people that home ownership is not only for the rich - without compromising standards he has helped to complete MANY buildings including those he has never even seen and for people he has never even met!

kopell: Who are this people for God seek, many of these guys just join this forum over nite without going thru what Spyder past post experience in this forum, to appreciate what he has done in the past before posting comments. Please guys let watch how his going to do it again. We all could learn one or two things to already accrued knowledge .

@Kopell
You know I wonder where all these people with their professionalism came from.. I have never seen 90% of them on any
of Spyder's thread before. All of a sudden everyone is qualified in house Building with Doctorate Degrees.
