Elsafema: Where are you building? Lagos? If yes, below is a guide. cement - maybe 50 bags @ N1950 per bag - N98,000 (30 bags to set 2000 blocks, the remaing 20 bags for foundation and lintel. You may need more though.) sand - tipper of sharp sand - N46,000 block - 2000 Pcs of 9" at N140 each - N280,000 granite - Buy one 20 tonn tipper and use it for foundation and lintel - N120,000. Gravel is way cheaper iorn - for lintel? Pillars? A tonn of 12mm is N130,00 or so labour. - foundation digging (N25,000), casting the foundation (N30,000), setting blocks (N4000 for 100 blocks; or N80,000 for 2000 blocks). You will need filling sand too to fill the foundation. This number of tippers depends on your land topography. With your 1M, you can go a long way in making your dream a reality. Go for it. Hope this helps? Good luck. |

Oga Spydo: following your threads has been a great inspiration and motivation for me to get things started on my Land in Abuja. I got a plan for a 4Bed Duplex but require your advise and input to get started. How do we begin? I need your input on possible projected budget to get a project of such magnitude started and with what I have seen and read on the various scholars here, it really doesn't cost much to accomplish such a project. Expecting your feed back please. |

Wire Mesh is priced differently at different places. I usually am able to find the cheapest prices for that material, especially in stainless steel, here: http://www.bwire.com/ |

I think I'm lost. So what is the total cost so far? |

lizzybabe1: I think I'm lost. So what is the total cost so far? Something in the region of N4.8m but no need to throw the costs around till the pictures are out to see where the cash sank into. I am not sure of the actual sum as I have not sat down to sum it all up. |

Spyder - which is the best door for the bedrooms? Any details on the wood type? |
Re: The Real Cost Of Building A 6 Bedroom Duplex (reloaded) by Mowire: 4:09am On Mar 17, 2012 |
@elsafema, and anyone, white river bed gravel (the type common in parts of the SE) is OK for concrete to an extent, but the red (or brown, or green or whatever colour) dug "earth" gravel (the type found in SW) contain excessive amount of silt (dust) and silt "kills" cement, thus is very bad for concrete. Overall: granite though more expensive is the best for concrete. And that is the learned professional advice. (Frankly, I hate to post in this thread!) |

spyder880: currently looking to learn more, finished reading these, can anyone suggest more books related to this field.You need Art of the deal and Art of the Comeback- ,both by Donald Trump. You need Rich dad Poordad and the richdad series, Robert Kiyosaki's mode of real estate is real fun to learn. I have all his book including ;Why we want you to be rich with donald trump; Trump doesn't interest me too much so presently looking to buy 'beating the Dow with bonds-Michael O'Higgins and business Stripped Bare by Sir Richard Branson' I suggest you get 'Beating the DOW-Michael O'Higgins, read it like 3 yrs back, still in my library though'too. Also read 'Losing my Virginity-Sir Richard Branson'. i read a lot but I think the mentioned books will do for now. |

Hi folks, Is N5m a realistic estimate for a 4 bedroom duplex with 3 rm BQ at Awoyaya (Ibeju-Lekki)? Most grateful for your advice/opinions! |
Re: The Real Cost Of Building A 6 Bedroom Duplex (reloaded) by spyder880(m): 10:36am On Mar 23, 2012 |
^^^ although I dont know Ibeju Lekki very well, still I dont think N5m is realistic for building duplex + BQ in any part of Nigeria. Why not start with building the BQ first and while living there, arrange to build the duplex. |

Why not start with building the BQ first and while living there, arrange to build the duplex. Thanks for the frank advice Spyder! I intend to do just that i.e BQ first and build duplex gradually. But I want a working figure. So is N7-8m more realistic? I'm looking at a very basic and modest design with 2 master bedroom and 3 smaller ones. No atrium, lobby etc. I'm not doing all that marble, granite finishes etc either. Or should I just go for a bungalow? |

Or should I just go for a bungalow? hi,more power to your elbow,as per your Q,i will be frank with you,that #5m wont take you anywhere,am currently building something similar to that just mine could be bigger,but i tell you what,about #5.5m is what has just taken me to only decking(i should be casting the deck work in a matter of week).Ans thats just like the beginning,so i'm just gonna advise you to build a beautiful bungalow like that am-alone one but if you still want the duplex,with just a basic finish,i think #10m should do it. |

love-tosin: @ love-tosin, Thanks for your advice! Hmmmm...tough decisions. I'm new on this thread - is there a picture of the bungalow by am-alone on this thread or there is a separate thread? Cheers! |

Can any one please advise on the cost of sandfilling a standard plot of land [60 x 120]at Lekki (Idiagbon village]? I'm planning a 5bdrm bungalow and 2rm BQ. |

hi, i am kind of new to this forum and i just need all of your professional advice. i am starting a building project in ibadan and i have commited everything in my dad's care as i dont stay in nija, he told me that they were going to use adcore for the foundation and i dont think i know what that meant, he tried to explain but you know im not familiar with it i only knw granites and gravels. i guess my question is, does adcore perfom the same role as granite or gravel? and by the way the plan is two sitting rooms, kitchen,dinning and 1 room downstair with bathroom ensuite and it has four bedrooms upstairs all with walk in closets and toilets ensuite. thanks for your prompt reply. |

@ blacklion and sadze, please relocate to our new thread "Strong, beautiful and affordable homes" for more updates and comments/questions. @sadze, Hardcore stones mean those larger size stones used during the foundation filling to ensure solidity. Some builders recommend it, depending on soil type. I cant find the pictures of it right away. |
