When I started two 3 bedroom flat at Ajah (1 up 1 down) and I stated all I wanted to be fitted, I was given quotes of between 15m to 18m to complete. I have done it to complete with 8m.

Timetable was also under 12 weeks physical prescence on site. Only thing outstanding is the outside plumbing(we still have 548k to spend out of the 8m).

The more people faff around the more wastage and pilferage occurs. I take things in stages and during this stages its intense. Most of the fittings are also ordered in advance such that I am not waiting around.

Stage 1 - 3 weeks - Raft foundation up to and including 2 blocks on top of lintel on ground floor
Stage 2 - 2 weeks - Decking and blocks up to top of window level for top floor.
Stage 3 - 7 weeks - From stage 2 to completion to include all plastering, painting, windows, metal and wood doors, metal security on windows, tiling, roofing, electrics, painting, wardrobe, cupboards, plumbing(na this one mess me up).

How does it all come together. Planning planning planning. I spend 2 hours in the middle of everynight strategising for the day ahead. by 7am I have made all my calls and know what the plan for the next 3 days is. Also, I arrange to meet with all the contractors that I need for the stage on the first day of each stage and we agree fee and give them a rough idea of when they will be needed( I always pay cost of transport and some feeding money for all) such that if I decide not to use them they dont feel out of joint too much.

I have learnt one or 2 more stuff from the website that should help with planning and cost. Also it does not include any supervision and project management fee and neither does it include sometimes 14 hour shift days or unsociable hours. If someone ask what i think is a reasonable pay for this part of the work. I would say 2m was not too much. I would rather do this than have them pad the cost of materials.

Mr Spyder is working with similar amount for his single room project such that I am watching closely and hope to deliver at close to this as possible. I do like a challenge.

I dey smile when I see all the sir but I be woman oh and I still have an under 5 personal assistant to look after while doing all this. Most of the people who work for me are now like family. I am also a cuddly tiger . Get the cuddle when you behave and get eaten alive if you play Mr/Mrs/Miss smarty pants.
This is really getting interesting!! very informative.

I have sent you an email.

redfly: @OP,
people like you are a disappointment to the profession. why would I as an architect that spent several yrs getting a BSc and MSc start posting designs on a public forum free of charge thereby creating the impression that we do is available on the cheap.
I kno that many folks will be appreciative of your "kind" gesture but as a professional of several years experience I am not amused.
I cannot blame you alone as the moderator who saw it fit to display this on the FP is also guilty of this folly. as a brother I have to advice u against this as it makes u appear to be HUNGRY.

Dude, snap out of this your cave-man mentality. For Pete sake this 2013/14 and not 1825. There is nothing hidden in 3D impression this days. Check on google, it's all over the place. Even a lot from better and more experienced designers. The type you mr. Hidden secret will envy.

The dude is not doing anything wrong, he's just in touch with the new way of marketing one's self. Sit your arse in your cubicle office and hide your catalog like a secret code and let's see where that get you this days.

seangy4konji: i will build a house soon but to raise 2 million in Nigeria without Gods favor is like trying to cross the red sea without moses and his staff...WE WILL ALL RECEIVE FAVOR THO...we are on the matter and God willing i will build my house next year..Goodluck everyone...
