Can I just level all the sand in this compound and turn it to a sand field? grin

Whatever, any serious work here in this compound will be next year.

Landscaping this big compound will be another headache.

Due to the many demands from my friends and readers here and the several inquiries I get on private chats and emails, I think I should reproduce this building plans and the exact specifications.

This building is small, and can comfortably fit into a plot size of 50 X 100 ft. The length of this building is 17850 while the width is 10275. Inside this building, we have the following arrangements;

Downstairs

1 main lounge
1 dining room with pantry
1 kitchen
1 kitchen veranda
1 kitchen store
1 entrance porch
1 entrance lobby
2 guest bedrooms, all en suite
1 visitors W/C

Upstairs

1 ensuite master bedroom with a walk in closet
2 children's bedrooms all en suite
1 stairwell
1 small room that can be used to store inverters or batteries
1 family lounge
1 sit out facing the compound

There are 21 doors and 31 windows in this house.

You can view the attached building plans to confirm the layout of the rooms.

As to the cost of construction for this building. The total cost for the construction of this building from foundation works till the building is roofed with high quality stone coated roofing tiles will be about N12.5 m for every material and labour/workmanship and supervision/site management involved in this building.

The finish is a little tricky because of the different variations that can come in when choices of the different finish items are all spelt out. But with moderate materials and good quality components that you see me fit in this house from windows till doors and POP ceiling till tiles and screed/painting, a total of N12.5 m should also be budgeted for the finish stage. Please note that this cost can change, if the choice of the client is foreign tiles and security doors in most places. This quote can work for us in areas with firm soil in the south east, South west, South south and North central parts of Nigeria. Construction time frame for the start and completion of this building could be as short as 120 days if the funding is not delayed.

We assure you of our good work ethics and quality delivery in all aspects of the work.

My contact details still remains 0803 335 0750 for both voice calls and WhatsApp chats.

Thank you all.

The array of colour variation we can add to the paint format is endless. The client gets to choose all final colour for everything.

Oga spyder judging from all the recent pictures you uploaded still can't see any reason why you should call this a low budget,A house of 25m in this change era, is not a joke oo.
Can this building sit perfectly on a 100/50 plot with 4 or 5 cars parking space?

You must have read the quote I gave to complete this house in today's prices. In reality, this my house cost far less than N25m because of the way I managed it. Note that the construction till roofing in 2015 was only a total of N7.5m. The finish is not all that costly because I am using low range materials like tiles and fittings.

Gravel instead of stone chippings
Molded blocks instead of buying from block industry
Used direct labour with counting method to reduce some costs.
I didn't pay myself any service charges

However, the N25m is for a full range of services including best practices in construction with top range building materials. I had to do a mid range finish because of tomorrow. If not I would have just moved in even without painting. I no owe anybody na grin

This house can sit well on a 50x100 plot with about 4 cars.
