Thanks boss. But how much do you think will complete 1bedroom flat with two toilet from start to finish

EgunMogaji2:


I’m not really sure but I built this 2 bedroom, 3 bath and 1 bedroom, 2 bath joined flat for approximately N1.8M including land to this level. I think another N2M will finish it.

Good luck.

I just finished drawing a plan for exactly this configuration. It’s for a mini estate.

Each unit is estimated to be finished with about N2.3m (carcass to finishing) including all external works. It has 4 doors and 5 windows.

Building Size: 35.6sqm

*Location: Ogun state

Thank you oga. For the omonile, I don’t think I may experience that as my land is inside Estate. I bought the land from a company selling the estate land.

n3xt:


Just like rotecch77 advised above, kindly set aside N5 - N5.5m for the project (foundation to first floor slab level)

God is your strength!

You also need to work with the locals (mouthed ones ) to manage the mainland boys. Their own percentage is non-negotiable.

My eyes see a lot in Bariga and Akoka

I am doing two flats of

Roof and pop likely cost 1.2 to 1.4 millions

Your cost is in order. The footprint of your build is over 100sqm. That’s almost 3 times my project.

Unfortunately this is a fresh project that we just submitted last week, I wouldn’t be able to share the design.

It’s a flat roof design and an en-suite single room dwelling with closet, kitchen and visitors toilet. My design is a detached unit (that’ll drive up cost here)

Flat roofs designs are far cheaper and we can drive down our cost because of the total number of units.

Question for you
So my roof is like 120 sqm?

GoodFaith:

Not sure but your building is 5.6 x 19.6 which is over 100sqm.

Your roof will hover around 200sqm+ with a moderate kingpost.

Thanks , I was projecting 170 to 200

A very nice design you have there. Pushing up the roof height a bit will make it outstanding.

Small builds with great landscape are very lovely.

Don’t be too stingy sir . Kindly share the details of the wonderful architect who deliver this job. It’s a good design for small/narrow plots.

The height look perfect in the drawing, some build kingpost height are sometimes exaggerated than its ruin the look of the house.

I was actually responding to the 170 - 200sqm projection. That might mean lower kingpost than what’s on the model drawing which ruins the design.

If he’s going for exactly what’s on that 3D, I’m sure it’ll be between 200 - 250 or thereabout.

vickzie:
do you intend to park cars in the plot?

not necessary

Do I need to perfect the title of a land I bought after contract of sale and deed of agreement

the land already have C of O

I just dey joke.. building house in my area no b beans. My uncle is facing their wahala too right now.

mobileboy:
After measurements of the land I intend to buy we notice it's 40 by 60 even though the seller initially said it's half plot but said he doesn't know the exact measurements

The price is been reviewed downward, should I proceed with buying it or the land is too small to build anything

If it's not too small what can I build on it?
It's going to be a single story building

2 units of two bedroom flat downstair - same upstair?
One 3 bedroom and one 2 bedroom downstairs - same upstairs?
One 2 bedroom and 1 self contain?


I want to maximize the land to the fullest to justify the price

I intend living there and renting out others to recover some of the money spent

Note: land is in Lagos

please builders and engineers in the house, I'm still looking for answer

n3xt:

And 20 tonnes will fill foundation of a duplex and 2 bedroom flat?

Not at all sir.

I love the plan and the design. I have similar as my BQ, except side by side, both front facing same directions.
Good one sir.

I need a china truck of white plaster sand delivered to lekki tommorow.

Who can deliver and how much?

PuZZyNegro:
Who can help me build this type of house in Imo state. It's urgent

This is a typical Victorian castle. Very common in England/Ireland and other parts of Europe. It is not a rocket science. The issue will be on the landscaping as landscape architecture is a scarce profession in Nigeria. But I think if well motivated, Brabus or Skimanski may make it happen. The carpet grass on the walls are easily found here as I planted it near my fence wall and they are circulating already. Though It does take time to cover the whole area.

MrOkenwa:

I was introduced to a welder that did my metal doors for me and, based on what I found out, your prices are very realistic, even without doing inferior job.
I paid the person 35k for 4by7 and 30k for 3by7( Each door has double plates and well coated before painting).
This person has a trader that sells his 4by7 doors for 50k in Abeokuta(I sent somebody to go there).
As per what the welder told me, The plates are sold for 3,500 each and the key is 5k. He actually asked me if I had any specifications on keys and I said no, just something good.
People around are satisfied with his job and he has since gotten the rest of welder works on my site.
1)Burglaries: I took Hajji M designs , in one of his old kobo kobo projects. I paid 178k for 25 of them, various sizes.
2) Entrance/exit door burglary proof. I paid 40k for the one I'll be attaching here.
3)Entrance gate. I paid 250k for the gate. Separate small gate for pedestrian.
I'm still looking at the option to either do a concrete or steel scaffolding for my water tank. If I settle for the steel, of course he'll be the one to get it.
In conclusion, let people know what they will get for the said amount you're charging them. You have your way around words, always use it to your advantage and avoid being controversial. I contracted you and your detailed explanations and zeal to get the job almost convinced me, safe for your location and the fact that I'm not physically on ground, I have given my jobs to you. Good luck.

thanks for your words and encouragements, it meant a whole lot. I will like to do the standing tank job for you sha. Location isn't a problem.

Thanks

That’s the situation right now. We were lucky to get the 200 bags.


Experience has shown me that it’s always better to buy in bulk. It’s safer and cheaper in the long run if you want to avoid cost overrun.

I had to invest in a mobile storage for this cos the cost of building storage facility aren’t cheap too

Not been on this thread for sometime , how u dey
