The front door is #52k each and the Rear is #35k or so. The inflation already factored in. I Heard the fabricated doors are stronger but my experience thus far has not proving this fact. Im yet to see a china door like my broken into in robbery attempts. And non have i heard that the Fabricated one has given way at robbery attempt.

The only deciding factor for me is the NOISE from the fabricated door. SO annoying!!! and secondly, the finishing isn't that great and finally, its just as expensive, if not even more expensive than the china.

Most are force to use fabricated door due to customization; their door ways are non standard measurement.

I was given a quotation for a front Door amounting to 13ok in Abuja....I've not seeing the Door myself though... was told it's a China Door Bla bla bla.....i don't knw why I'm finding it hard to upload the pix of the Door. If I can get this Brand, I'll be ok with it...and not the 13ok Front door in this Buhari administration. ...lol

Abuja is for Politicians. You are expected to spend as such. My Front door is 4ft and Back is 3ft. Maybe yours is the big and bullet proof one. so ask for the details before concluding. I dont know the brand but will may inquiry from Manager. Thank

Mine is 4ft as well...i think I'll travel down to see things myself. I'm based in Lagos, I always don't have the time travelling down to Abuja. The 130k is way too much for me. Thanks for your response though, God bless u.

Below is the N120k 4ft Turkey Iron door installed.
You can even find it for N110k if you have time to wander around at Orile market.

Yea, exactly what i was sent via whatsapp...though with a different design. My Project is in Abuja ( Nyanya) Precisely Sir. How durable & Strong is this Door? I'm sorry for asking too many questions.

They have them in many designs but same quality.
Turkey iron doors are as durable as you can get, they are not comparable to Chinese doors at all. Go for it.

Hi NL,

Wiring was done on one of the units. I tried to explain my needs in term of finishing design but wasn't getting through. So i have decide to go home in some weeks to do it myself.

Most are force to use fabricated door due to customization; their door ways are non standard measurement.

most chinese doors imported into the country are cheap, low quality options. they're made from thin light sheets and they offer more aesthetics than security. A locally fabricated door of the same cost made by a good fabricator will definitely give you more value.
You can make them to whatever design, thickness and size that you want. getting a good fabricator is key.

You can't ascertain how well a chinese door will hold up until an actual breach is attempted.

Good luck with your project.

Hi NL,

Went home for about three weeks to do some things on my project. Did as much as time allowed.

Tried to work on details while on ground.

My aim was to setup the Kitchen, toilet, cabinet and dresser. I bought all the materials needed except for granite canter top; which everyone one refer to as marble; and it took me a week to figure out that we were talking about the same thing. Anyways, I wasn't able to get one till I ran out of time.

Looking good. At least progress is being made, and praise God for safe journey to and fro. Hope you enjoyed home.

Who was your cabinet and wardrobe maker, and can you give us a sense of the price? I was thinking of getting prefabbed furniture, because after you add labour, time, and transportation, it's cheaper than hiring somebody to make them.

Thank you. I had a good time away from the usual busy US lifestyle. Ate good meals and breath fresh air...lol
The maker is a local furniture guy in Ilisan Remo Ogun State. I dont know how far he goes to do a job but i will post his contacts in case someone close to my site can benefit. I will contact my manager for his info asap. The Dresser and Kitchen furniture costed me #180K. How is your project coming up Mr. Next?

Blinding/German floor not done!! can see in the second picture showing walls already done to lintel level. there will be serious rising damp and possibly termite plus rodent activitie at floor level in future. i have been a fictim once and have learnt a hard way. caveat emptor!

No...i'm a civil engineer and I assure you that it wouldn't be a problem on my site. @Solok

Please sorry for asking. I like the design of the house n all, but r u gonna b d one to furnish t for the person coming in?

Unfortunately or fortunately, if you are my tenant, i want to do somethings different to the usual in Nigeria. I believe any apartment should have the basic living items; toilet, kitchen, stove, water, security and electricity. Even if its a room that you are renting, it should have all this amenities. This is my standard. Am even considering monthly rent rather than the yearly. Basically, trying to give back to my society and making accommodation easy for young Nigerians. This is my personal mission.

Everyone that visited my site with me wanted me to have them relocate their love one. I believe land belongs to anyone. We are going to leave it behind some day. So I know by law, I can move it out of my land but what value will that add to my life! At the same time, I don't want deliberate act of disrespect as well.

You are perfectly right. Leave it like that, you have taken the step to stop the future occurrence by erecting a fence. So it's all good.
