Good evening my beautiful people... I want to appreciate you all for all your assistance, you guys are amazing. May God continue to bless us and protect us. Amen

I am done with plastering, which should be next... POP or wiring?

redgem:


Will leave electricals till moving time...just as twinskenny suggested. Sorry to ask, how do they have access to a building that has well secured doors and windows?

Wiring, then POP. ✓


Godspeed on your Project

topsy23:


They can enter through the noggings since the ceiling is yet to be covered

twinskenny:


You can see the figure I gave you plus labour wasn't even up to engr labour charge alone!!! But it's a small unit get a good electrician to handle it for you . Work with the price I gave you as benchmark. Good luck

MrOkenwa:

The difference is too significant bro. There are good artisans that can do great jobs for you. Besides, you're building a simple structure. Bungalows are not usually complicated to build.
You can get some contacts from redgem. she's willing to assist you. Negotiate with artisans and ask him to supervise them. Pay him for each supervisory job done. Although, he may insist on using his own team.


Don't overlook extra costs in construction. They make up huge sum when put together.

redgem:


My project is in Benin, I can assist you with people that worked for me...their prices are quite fair

debeey87:
Good morning everyone, I need input on labor for the first floor of my build.

Block is estimated to be about 5000pcs and bricklayer has quoted 540,000 naira as labor for setting blocks on the first floor. This doesn't include the pillars or lintel concrete work. What will be a fair price to negotiate per block.

Also, do labor price increase per floor or it's same.

1. Why is that guest room door facing the main entrance door. What happens to the privacy of the occupant of that room?

2. The dining, is it a passage or what? The distance between the lounge and the dining is something else.

3. That long passage has no window
4. The visitors' toilet; I personally don't understand why a toilet should open to a public area. Mind you, not everybody knows how to use the toilet. I would personally conceal it from public view.

5. Another issue of concern to me is the accessibility of the staircase. Do you really have to enter the bedroom before climbing the stairs and while coming down, you enter the room first

Note: Am not an architect and would like our architects to put me right.

BrickDevo:
this plan is not good oh,

The entrance lobby should be demarcated from the living room. An entrance door after the entrance lobby. The outer door if designed well may not be necessary.

The dining in a lobby with no natural lighting and ventilation is not good at all.

Your stair is better if accessed from the wide lobby where you placed your dining seats.

The visitors room if designed properly could be cross ventilated.

The engineer handling the building here in Benin gave the following quotes:

Pre-plaster plumbing: 180k
Complete Electrical piping: N250k
Plastering (range): 700k.

Hi everyone!
Thanks to everyone contributing to the page!

So, I have an issue. Lagos State Building Control Agency have recently painted my site's fence to stop work and call a number written on the paper left behind.

I wanted to know how to get this guy off my back.

Any advice, please?

Coiner:


That would help. How can I reach you please?

Good evening my oga’s on the house, kindly help me vet this quotation.

Also after roofing, in what order does building process take till completion.

Thanks in anticipation!

One4me:


A few factors affect the pricing of a job.
Where is your Location?

The quoted price averages at about #108/Block, which is quite excessive and it should not even be counted per Block.

There is a Bricklayer someone here recommended, some years back. he worked on my place and that of another Nairalander (and non member in Diaspora) and does a very good job and his prices are "reasonable".

If you want a trustworthy and reasonable alternative, leave a message here for me and l will get you his number or if l can still get his links hidden in many past pages on this thread.

somehow:


Where in Lagos?

princenomics:

His fees are high. I spent lesser (400k) plastering my 4 bedroom bungalow in Benin. This includes both supervisor fees and labour for the job.
The guys who did the job were from Cotonou and I was very pleased with the outcome. If I have met them directly, I would have spent lesser than that.
I can also help you with their contact if you won't mind.
Even for my pop, my engineer told me it would cost me about about 1.4m. I met some Togolese guys, working in an hotel, after taking their leader to my site, he gave me an estimate of 800k with beautiful designs.

redgem:


Send me a dm or just drop your number and I'd message
