benimeogu: Without knowing which type of casting design, or what sizes of windows and the quality of materials used, it will be difficult to know if the price is high or normal. |
Re: The Real Cost Of Building A Six Bedroom Duplex by spyder880(m): 6:55pm On Feb 20, 2011 |
There is something I want to calculate, from the foundation digging stage to the completion of the casting until the foundation is covered with german floor, how much can it take me in labour and materials except for blocks which I already have. It will be interesting to know. I have a mental figure of N300,000, lets see how it goes. |

How do we do this? I want to buy a big 1000 gallons tank and dont know whether to add this as part of the building costs. The tank will be used to aid water supply and storage on site but it has residual value after the house is finished. I think I will add it as part of my expenses. |

Storex plastic tank = N49000.00 Transportation and handling =N1000.00 Total N50,000 + N137,800.00 = N187,800.00 1 Like |

Another 280 blocks made today from 8 bags of cement. N3200 paid bringing the total money spent so far to N191,000.00 Total blocks made stands at 1100. Tomorrow, the remaining 7 bags of cement will be moulded. And we can clear the blocks to start digging from Friday or Saturday. |

Re: The Real Cost Of Building A Six Bedroom Duplex by spyder880(m): 7:17pm On Feb 22, 2011 |
The block making is complete. Total number made is 1342. Lets see which is cheaper, buying or moulding. |
Re: The Real Cost Of Building A Six Bedroom Duplex by spyder880(m): 7:39pm On Feb 22, 2011 |
Buying blocks = 1342 blocks x N110 = N147,620.00 Moulded blocks cement N72000 loaders N800 transport N2000 sand N24000 (only 4 trips used) moulding labour N16000 water N4000 Total N118,800.00 Money saved = N28,820 The debate is now, is the money saved worth the time wasted/waiting? Is it better to continue mouding in subsequent block needs or just go on and buy, plus, I will spend about N5000 packing out the blocks from the building area before the foundation is dug. What do you think? |

Re: The Real Cost Of Building A Six Bedroom Duplex by OYINBOGOJU(m): 11:24pm On Feb 22, 2011 |
Thanks for the update, all eyes opened about moulding blocks, I can say it all depends on time. some have enough time to monitor things and some don`t have enough time. the extra money on buying is what we pay for not having enough patience. sometimes we pay to save time bro. |
Re: The Real Cost Of Building A Six Bedroom Duplex by Fhemmmy: 1:15am On Feb 23, 2011 |
At the end of the day, i would love to know how much blocks in both sizes that would finish such home on those pix |

This is a great thread and I wish this there was something like this to help us along when we started. Hope you all dont mind if I chip my little in on finishing. Sorry if I am jumping the gun a little The prices below are for 2 buildings; one 4 bedroom and one 3 bedroom being built together. The picture below is of the 3 bedroom. The 4bed is still in its finishing stages. I only have some of the figures as my husband dealt with the workers. We made a lot of mistakes along the way and some things had to be redone/paid for twice etc but I am happy to help anyone who has questions on the finishing because that was the bit that I was really involved with as the woman concern For example some doors had to be removed because some of the frames were not straight, so the doors we not hung straight, by this time the walls had already been screeded, so we had to remove the door and frame, readjust the frame, put in a new door, the bricklayer had to recement, the painter had to re screed and the tiler had to retile that area. So far some of the figures I know about are; ( I will check with him to see if I got them right) Tiles & tiling for both houses - 1.3 Million Wiring both houses - 1 million (we are purchasing light fittings for the main house) POP - for the 4 bed house - 750K - I m not too sure about this figure PVC - for the 3 bed house - 400k - I m not too sure about this figure Kitchen for the 3 bed house - Local Carpenter - N250K Fitted kitchen for the 4 bed house - N450K Painting for the 3 bed house - Painting for the 4 bed house - Gutter - 80K Fancy edging round both houses - 80k Doors - approx 17K each Frames - cant remember Crazy paving/Landscaping - Have been given a quote for 1 Million Wardrobes for the 3 bed - Local carpenter - N350K Fitted wardrobes for the 4 bed - N650,000 Cleaning of the 3 bed house after building - N50,000 Landlords Association/Nepa Connection - N50,000 Floating/Screeding for Main House - N220K 4 pillars - N56K If I remember any more I will let you know You also need the following; Cough Mixture - N5000 - Because you will shout tire Paracetamol - N5000 - To sooth Headache & relieve tension Your own personal Calculators - Because their own tends to overcalculate 1 Like |

OYINBOGOJU: You pretty well summed the whole thing up, its about the value of time as it relates to money. |
Re: The Real Cost Of Building A Six Bedroom Duplex by harakiri(m): 2:24pm On Feb 23, 2011 |
It would be helpful and more interesting if you guys posted pictures together with the building costs so we have an idea of where all the money is "going". |
Re: The Real Cost Of Building A Six Bedroom Duplex by spyder880(m): 2:29pm On Feb 23, 2011 |
I forgot to update us on the total expenses. N2800 was paid for the remaining 7 bags moulded bringing the total money spent so far to N193800.00. And yet we have not started digging the foundation. Am waiting a few days for the blocks to dry after watering it. |
Re: The Real Cost Of Building A Six Bedroom Duplex by spyder880(m): 2:46pm On Feb 23, 2011 |
harakiri: I uploaded my building plan pictures back in page 2. We will start digging from Saturday. I promise to paste the foundation pictures when we start digging, latest by Teusday next week. |
