icebeatz: Dont know who designed the building but its n8t creative.

This design is particularly popular in the south east/south south....
Everybody that has made small money seems to own a builsing like that... (including my old folks)... its so distasreful and liveless.

Get creative.

I designed the building based on the client's brief and that's the exact look he wanted.There are so many unseen factors when it comes to design and its not ideal to draw a conclusion based only on what you see.
Someone like Jim Ovia will only ask for a glass box design even if he's spending billions on a building project.People have different tastes and you need to respect that.

Should the building have been designed to your personal likeness or the Client's likeness?
The Client love the drawing and that is all that matters.
Your message is senseless and insultive... Think about it.

We are done with all the foundation reinforcements in this site, all the digging is done, we have also sunk all the column bases. We are currently blinding this foundation. Many more pictures of work progress to be shown tomorrow.

You did a very good job, you know a very good plan when the builder will not be sweating to bring it out to life. Thank you for this.

blackeli: From our estimate and bill of materials, how much do you think it would cost to finish building?

I quoted for N10.9m to complete this house from foundation till the roof is done, this includes all material and labour costs till we finish installing the roofing tiles. It does not include the plastering or doors and windows/tiles etc.

hurricaneChris: Spyder88, I have a potential project at ozuobolu in anambra state (2 units terrace duplex). Have u done a work dia or around dia bfo? Can I use any of ur works in anambra as case study?

Am talking abt foundation depth here.
I knw abt the issue of erosion in some parts of anamabra, hw bad is it?

Hw gud is dia soil bearing capacity?
I will really appreciate answers from u or any enlightened person here.

The truth is that you should consult a competent professional to look at the soil if it has any issues other than the normal ones around you. I have worked around Ozubulu, follow the link below. Hope it helps.

I am encouraged with the pictures i see and the write up, this is practical entrepreneurship at work. God bless you Spider and keep up the good work. We are learning and we have started thinking outside the box.

Oga Spyder, I observed, with huge admiration, your updates on the projects you are handling. Kudos for the excellent job.

I am about to start work on a 2 storey building with 6 flats of 3 bedroom each somewhere in the southeast. Each room will be en-suite.

Because I am not in the country, I want to get an independent expert opinion on the quotes I received for the completion of the building. I intend to independently verify the estimate before I commit myself to a particular builder.

Can you please give me an idea of what the cost might be to complete the building? Can I send you a private email?

Thanks.

Spyder is doing same right NOW in Enugu and there's a thread showing that live here on nairaland.

If I remember correctly, he mentioned 16 million naira.
Not sure if there're all ensuite though.

Thanks for the information on the cost of the building as one can work with it and make the required plan. I must say that your quote for the work is quite reasonable but please stay with the design and specifications. A good job will definitely open more and better opportunities for you.

Thanks for the information. I must have missed Spyder's thread on the Enugu building. N16m sounds nice and too good to be true because unofficial speculations are putting it to me at between N30 to N40m. Please can more experts in the house comment? Thanks.

Noted bro. I'll pass this on to whoever finally wins the contract to do the job. May I just mention that these days, I always give them a free hand on the entire execution (something I never thought was wise). I saw hell in my last project trying to get family and friends to do the supplies and other aspects of the job (because I'm not around). The outcome was terrible. So now, I intend to hire a professional, do my best to approve a verified and reasonable quote, sign a legal contract binding everyone to it, and then hope for the best, with minimal exploitation...lol.

That's why I asked my original question.

We have completed everything about the foundation excavations, heaps of soil on the places that will form center of rooms while the line of blocks are being treated with thick concrete blinding.
