As building materials continue to rise, it has become necessary that we buy and stock more items as we continue this work. We are planning to start the upper floors this week if possible.

I will try to calculate this later, after subtracting the remaining materials.

We have started work here this morning, block setting for the upper floor ongoing.

We are doing this for N16 m for the construction stage till roofing is done. The finish will depend on the quality of items chosen. Thanks.
Oga please when you say construction stage does it involve plastering and fittings?

Baking concrete biscuits. .... and using it under the reinforcement rods.....

Is using concrete biscuit the usual practice of suspending the reinforcement rods or just that ingenuity of average Nigerian artisan. Boy these guys can think.

Well-done Prof

I think it is standard practice, its meant to raise the rods from the wood, making it stay halfway within the concrete slab. But it also helps us keep our plastic pipes safe from being trampled and then broken.

Bros you kill person? cheesy You wan make I return to the village to farm? cheesy

The N16m is for the construction stage only, till the roofing is done (good quality high grade aluminium sheets, 0.45) The cost does not include plastering, windows, doors, electrical wires, plumbing or any other works.

Thank you.

Three bedrooms on the left, two bedrooms on the right wing of the building. Only 30 tons is too small for this 6 flats, but still counting.
