My oga, good day to you. Great project you got going. Can you please let us know how much the plastering (so far) has gulped, both in and out. Just an idea is needed if you have not completed your calculation as of yet. Thanks in advance

spyder880:


I have paid them a total of N200 k for all the outside, parapet, inside and under deck done so far.

aao:


Thank you sir for the quick reply.
If i get you right, did it cost you about 200k to plaster the house... Which includes cost of cement, sand , etc

spyder880:

Not with materials, only labor is N200 k so far.

frakdon:
that's a lot though.

Despite what my Oga said in the title, this is not a skinflint build.

Because FX is scarce now, Dasuki swallowed all the dollars, hence the construction cost also increases

spyder880:
I will be taking a break from building this house, to save more money and continue, maybe later in the year. Thank you guys for coming around to encourage me as I did this, we shall surely return to work on this house, to do the finish works. God bless you all.

Welcome to my house,

Oga Spyder880,
First of all allow me to congratulate you on this wonderful tread for beginners like us. Well done SIR! I need you professional advise on the cost of casting an oversite concrete popularly called german floor on the piece of land that the plan is posted below. I got a very bogus estimate from my builder (approx N1m). All I want to do is do german flooring, the foundation has been done already. It's a plan for a duplex. Please your urgent advise would be highly appreciated!

EgunMogaji:


Pending Chairmanship arrival...

Yours is ~52x55

I just did a 50x35 in Ibadan for N240,000 all materials and labor.

I also did this from USA so I know if I was physically there then I would saved even more.

why you dey spoil my market now, l am his engineer, l billed him 1 million naira but if he negotiate well, l fit do the german floor at 700,000 Naira for him, abeg no spoil market for me oo, besides, l like your German floor, your builder is trying, his work is neat

Yeah but he was waiting for me on the block work for the walls. I'm paying about N55 per block but is okay.

I'll meet him at plastering

.Cool, before you know it, the house is roofed , nice job so far

Thank you Sir. This means a lot to me. We need to carry each other along instead of knocking one another down.

Exactly, the sky is too big for 2 bird to clash, life is all about helping either in words or deed, l think your builder is on his toes, l am guessing he wants to prove his mettle to you that he is equal to deliver a top notch bungalow for you..

SLADsys:
EgunMogaji,

Thanks a lot for the swift response, and as for you 4nobody4every1: I guess you are on your own just as your signature name suggest (LOL). But seriously approx how much should I be looking at for this task?

Jyde81:
Any idea of the cost estimates to build a twin two bedroom flats en suite. Urgent replies please

joshua112:

you can budget like 7m depending on your finishings and type of foundation .it can still go less it all deoneds on your taste
