Dear Spyder880, I'm building a 6 bedroom duplex in my home town ENUGU-ezike with two living rooms and all room en suite and it has cost me about 8.5 m to get to parapet level. I'm wondering how you have done this job to roofing level for just 9.5m spyder880: |
Re: A Pictorial Documentation Of A New Home Building In Enugu. by Empiree: 6:00am On Dec 21, 2014 |
Spirit101:Are you using "concrete or aluminum parapet". If Aluminum, kindly let me know where you buy them and possible cost. Thanks |
Re: A Pictorial Documentation Of A New Home Building In Enugu. by Spirit101: 6:04am On Dec 21, 2014 |
Hi Empiree, I'm actually using concrete parapet for this project |
Re: A Pictorial Documentation Of A New Home Building In Enugu. by Empiree: 6:54am On Dec 21, 2014 |
Spirit101:ok. good luck. if you do hear about aluminum's locations in SW, kindly let a brother know. If you don't mind me ask what's estimated cost to erect your parapet ? |

Spirit101: My brother, I was cutting a lot of costs. Sand was very cheap in this location. Just N7000 for one trip. |

Waterway: Hello Sir, I didn't answer the questions earlier because I was looking to call up the borehole contractor to ask all the questions as their top man was not always on site with us. Getting a borehole sunk in Enugu is fraught with a lot of difficulties. In most parts of Enugu town, you cannot find water in good quantities under the surfaces. Ground water is very deep into the soil. In this location, the land is very close to the stream of Golf estate. So we had the hope of finding water underground, the initial budget was N700,000 but I understand the amount was later reviewed due to the added days they spent and because they hit a large rock and had to start all over in a different spot in the compound. I dont know the total depth because they left before I could return from PH, the contractor doubles as a geologist. |

Hello friends, It is my pleasure to find time to communicate with you all, and to review our activities in the last 12 months. We have been interacting here all year long in peace and harmony, and that's why I feel its good to provide you all with a round up of all our various projects and ventures which we worked on in the outgoing year, 2014. It was a very eventful year, and incidentally my first full year working as a building contractor. We crafted houses and structures in various parts of the country. On my part will say it was very fulfilling, because for the first time I felt I am doing what I am well suited for, building houses. I also hope you enjoyed the journey and details as we moved from state to state, site to site, task to task. We built houses in 3 states of the federation in 2014, we built 6 houses in Enugu state, 3 houses in Rivers State and 1 house in Imo State. Altogether, we built a total of 10 houses in 2014, all the houses, with the exception of two houses in Enugu state are all online here and owned by members of this Nairaland. The remaining 2 houses belongs to private individuals in Enugu who saw what I was doing on the ground and contacted me to build their houses. All the houses are in their finish stages, expect for the luxury flats we are working to get to the roof in Port Harcourt. My passion has always been to build houses, and I enjoy what I do. But of course life will never move on a straight and level plane. We experienced a fair share of challenges as we worked in some of the projects in 2014. Some of the problems were as a result of natural occurrences, some from bad workmanship, by some of our workers while the rest was as a result of weak supervision on the part of men I placed in positions of authority in the periods I might be out of the site. There were a few desperate situations, some small errors and some not too small work failures. In all, we reacted in good time to either arrest the situation or totally reverse the errors. It is our belief that we came out stronger from every challenge, and we learnt a lesson or two in the process. We also took steps to forestall a future occurrence. I have had to tinker with my team many times, dropping workers whom I found out were not entirely honest, or just refused to learn. I have also added to my team, more men I think they understand my needs, and share my values and aspirations. The improvements to our work are obvious, I have also taken steps to reduce the number of projects I accept in any time, I will like to complete some projects before starting another one. I can also recall some wonderful results, some high quality jobs which we all agreed came out top class. There are some houses which I can smile about whenever I am passing the area, buildings which I can point at with pride and satisfaction. For those projects, I also learnt a lot from them, and will put the lessons to use in the coming year. 2014 also marked a change in my approach to the housing sector, I added another branch to my housing business, estate management. I initiated a move to develop 100 plots of land in a remote community in Enugu East LGA. The properties are on sale to interested members of the public, I am acquiring the lands with my registered company name, Tigerkenn Homes Nig LTD. We have sold over 20 plots of land and are still collecting deposits from interested investors, in and out of nairaland. We have offers for home building next year, we are finalising some deals on the projects we are going to start by next year 2015. We have a new duplex project planned for Port Harcourt, a super renovation work planned in Anambra , our new estate works in Enugu will also take off in the first quarter of 2015. We are already poised to give the estate a good lift, with a view to developing the place so the area can appreciate. It will be a very busy year, but we are up to the task as usual. We want to deliver more quality and less quantity. I am using this opportunity to thank you all, especially my clients, for your steadfastness, your trust and belief in us. I have never met many of you in person, only phone calls and emails, and yet we relate like brothers and sisters. Please forgive us if there are things we did not do very well in 2014, we are only human, and we will continue to improve in all respects. We promise you lower costs and higher quality projects. We appreciate you, may GOD himself bless you all. For all my workers, you are the best, we may fight and quarrel, for all the misunderstanding and all the harsh words, for the shouting matches and corrective actions, please forgive and forget, its not a personal thing, we must do these to improve our work so we can impress our clients. For all our suppliers, we thank you for your timely and not too timely deliveries, but please serve us better next year and don't connive with cement sellers to rip us off. For all my friends and readers, na una be the real Oga, the people I am really serving. I promise more action next year, lets do it again in 2015! There is a possibility that my phone might not be connecting in the next few days till the end of this year. I llan to travel to my village in Nomeh Unateze in Nkanu East LGA in Enugu state with my family for this Christmas festivities, my village usually has very poor MTN network coverage. We are supposed to travel later this morning and I might be in the village till the new year, with one or two visits to some sites in between. This is an opportunity to spend some time with my wife and children, visit the farm, go fishing in the village stream, prepare village foods and attend village meetings. In case anyone wants to contact me, please send me a text message on my normal line 08033350750 or send a mail to ckenneths@yahoo.co.uk, I will be checking from time to time. Merry Christmas to you all, we thank you all. PERFECTION IS OUR GOAL, EXCELLENCE WILL BE TOLERATED. |

mufutau55:The waterproof underneath prevents effective drainage which ought the be one of the fine aspect of the interlocking tiles design. Sand particles get in between the tiles and rest on the waterproof providing good soil for weed to grow. The worst case is the tiles eventually retro water because of blocked seepage this causes it to be slippery and unsafe. I recommend herbicides are used to combat weeds rather than polythene water proof. 1 Like 1 Share |

Amastermovic: Welcome, but the fact still remains that without a clear idea on what the sizes of the planned building will be, you need to have the building plan to estimate cost of the building, before finding out what the profits might be. 1 Like |
