Oga Spyder880. i am so happy that your project is on its final stage.

Pls i have this question to ask, Since this is your project,your profersional fees are not included grin grin grin grin grin when summarying up the real cost of buliding right?.

Supposing, if a client required yourservices on this particular project you have , building on the same location, Pls sir what is your fees?

Sir, you know that this is a school grin grin grin grin grin.like a student,i knows that some of your students will like to know too.

Looking at it  from the other side, (investment purpose).before the actual figure is achieved, the total cost of everything must be acknowledged.

You cannt tell me that you will building for free. if not for you, your Family must chop, grin grin grin grin grin. Even my little sister that just arrived, alot of milk is needed. grin grin grin grin.is not easy oooo, grin cheesy cheesy cheesy

My brother, this one hard ooo grin cheesy grin wink But I will answer the question, I will be open like I always am, this may scare some people off but this is me, and I do my things with all manner of honesty and openness. The zeal I will use in building my house is the same drive I use to build for others, only that I add much more care in spending another person's money in order to preserve my integrity.

If some people here gets to hear the price I charge to build a house, they will wire me a slap, and since I am not physically near them, they can send me an e-slap grin grin
The day my engineer got to know how much I charged for the 5 bedroom duplex I am building, he looked at me like I was mad, with pity in his eyes, he told me that he cannot even do a fence for the amount I charged to do a duplex, and the site is a good 42 kilometers from my base, speeding on a bumpy untarred road which I must visit at least 4 times in each week!! He asked me why I am charging so low and I told him the money is only to pay him and my architect to stay on site and add their knowledge to my experience (together we make a great team).

That was then sha, for what I will charge to do this my house in the same location now, it all depends, If the owner of the house will be buying all the materials himself or have my materials delivered and ready to use, I will charge only 350k (paying my experts and everything) if its in my location as you asked. But if I will spend the extra time and energy to procure materials and chase suppliers around, I will increase it to 500k for a duplex. This will hold for most parts of Enugu town. But there will always be discounts for Nairalanders grin cheesy grin grin

I bought some materials that will be used to do my lintels yesterday and some to continue block making as there is no more blocks at my site. I bought 80 legnths of 12mm rods yesterday and more cement to be used to make the blocks. By the time the iron benders will finish fixing the pillars, there may be blocks ready to go up and form more rooms so we can complete the lintels.
The iron benders will start working by tomorrow.
Re: The Real Cost Of Building A 6 Bedroom Duplex (reloaded) by spyder880(m): 8:20am On Aug 05, 2011
I might just buy blocks afterall, just called my block maker to know if he is still going to make blocks for me and he said we cannot work today because its raining at my site, now if I don't buy blocks there will be delays which will also delay the iron bender. I am going out to investigate the price difference.
Cost updates later this evening.

Work went on very well yesterday in this site, my workers braved the rains and were pushing ahead under the rain and cold. I love their commitment and determination to work. Their attitude to work is commendable.
The iron benders have cut up all the rods needed for the pillars and will start forming the pillars and making beams for the lintels from Monday or Tuesday. The bricklayer tried also and will be working again from Monday, some sections of the house has grown to lintel levels. Will show pictures after I visit the site this evening.

I went to this site this evening and was impressed by the quality of blocks laid yesterday. My bricklayers has improved considerably since last job they did. Its good to flex your muscle a s a manager sometimes, if not for the sack of some people, I will still be showing pictures here of uneven block works. These remaining workers are good. Loading the pictures.
