LondonCool:Well having two bath/lavatory in such a small space isn't economical to me, the smaller lav can be converted into wardrobe/dressing, the bigger lav/bath can accommodate any type of bath tub. Just suggesting though, the idea behind it maybe as a result of too much money, big boys like u love it double double... 1 Like |

snakebeat: I agree with you completely. The rooms upstairs are big though, they are a replica of the size of the rooms down stairs. I should be able to convert that extra lav to a walk-in wardrobe/dressing room or a Library for my books (or a control command for all my CCTV's and Spy Cams). 1 Like 1 Share |

LondonCool:Fair deal. I think the 195 bags of cement might not be enough if this quotation includes the casting of the decking. Please which cement does he want to buy @1850? |

EkoAlobo: @EkoAlobo, Thanks for your incisive feedback. The Site Engineer doesn't get involved in the procurement of building materials, it's usually done by my younger brother. I also usually disburse funds when I'm on ground at the site whenever I visit and not from abroad. I would be willing to contract the procurement and delivery of the materials to building site to you if you can deliver on your quote. I must add that the site location is on the outskirts of Calabar (along the Bacoco/ Nasarawa Road), which does bring up some logistic problems for delivery of materials from Calabar. Additionally, there is an unwritten rule that labourers should be hired first from the youths in the village before outsiders and they do tend to push a very high collective bargain for their rates. We tend to buy sand and cement locally. However, I'd be happy to enter into an arrangement with you during my next visit in 3 months time. 2 Likes |

LondonCool:@londoncol both of this guys have not told you what type of cement and blocks are the buying, in my opinion don't rush to conclusion find out first. This is the advantage of coming to public, one can see the diffrece in this numbers. Clearly is above N350k. I hope the other guy can deliver dangote 42.5 R cermet to you at that price, I was told that brand is the strongest cermet in the market. |
Re: Building from the Diaspora: 3 Bedroom Bungalow + Penthouse (2 Rooms) at Calabar by LondonCool(m): 12:14am On Sep 16, 2015 |
kopell: @kopell, Thanks for the advice. The price difference of nearly N300,000 is too large to ignore. I'm dicsreetly making further enquiries from my brother about his cement prices. Anyway, I'll be around on ground to make comparative checks on prices before releasing any funds. I'll have to be a bit more hands-on than before. Regards |

LondonCool: I dnt do supplies. Can send u contact of suppliers per item who would make supplies to ur site and get paid on delivery. However, ur site at bacoco/nasarrawa is accessible to motorist. Secondly you should'nt yield to the pressure of d community labour as they begin to fix rates to which you pay them for services even if dat is nt wat is obtainable elsewhere. For the cement, the price i stated is for the UNICEM 32.5 grade and Dangote 32.5 grade. 42.5 grade for dangote is slightly higher. |
Re: Building from the Diaspora: 3 Bedroom Bungalow + Penthouse (2 Rooms) at Calabar by LondonCool(m): 11:14am On Sep 16, 2015 |
EkoAlobo: Thanks, I'll be in touch to get the details of your supplier contacts. |

greenermodels: @greenermodels, Nice observation. I saw that too and felt it looked a bit odd. I'll have a word with the Site Engineer about relocating the door before we start demarcating the walls. |
Re: Building from the Diaspora: 3 Bedroom Bungalow + Penthouse (2 Rooms) at Calabar by greenermodels: 10:01pm On Sep 16, 2015 |
LondonCool:that's the beauty of posting floor plans online for reviews. i also think you should have talked to your site engineer about an overhead tank ontop of the penthouse, the height would have been an advantage. |
