@vitodorado, nice work u're doing here. I'm another prospective landlord in Benin, will be glad to learn along with u guys. I have a few questions though,

1) Is there any reason for using 6'' hollow blocks rather than d common 5'' solid block around here for a bungalow?

2) Y do u have so much pillars for a bungalow, are there loads other than the roofing the structure'll be carrying?

Thanks bro.

@ogogo23,
I will take on ur first query and I stand to be corrected by our experience fellows on this thread , you can use 6" hollow block for a bungalow, but if you need to have an over head tank attached. That area needs to be fortified, because of the load. Note there won't be much load on the bungalow.
As per ur second Query I will leave that for the gurus to answer!
Please o my bros I stand to be corrected I m here to also learn

Hello,

Does anyone have any idea how much it is to get a C of O for 4 plots of land in Ugbor Village aka GRA extension/GRA II? Also, any cost estimates to build a fence for same lot would be appreciated.

Thanks!
Re: Cost Of Building A 5 Bedroom Bungalow In Benin-city. by Ogbefi007: 4:34am On Sep 08, 2011
@jumi06701, I think vitodorado could have information on C of O, since his project is in that axis !

The floor plan



@ Vitodorado,

Good job! I like the design of your house and wish you well in completing the house soon.
I have one suggestion for you: if possible change the size of the master BR and make it larger, and convert the
madam BR to a regular BR. In this day and age, there is no need for madam BR, just one very large master BR for oga and wiffy.

Peace!

Nice one, I am interested in this tread, hoping to learn for a similar project in Ibadan. The expertise of the Spyders, Brabus and all other experts will be appreciated,

@ Jumi07601. To process a C of O for a 100x100ft plot in the G.R.A area will involve the followings and cost implications;

1. Survey Plan - 4 copies
2. Title document i.e agreement - 1 copy
3. Building Plan - 1 copy
4 3 passport photographs
5. Application fee - 5, 000
6. Advert Fee - 12,000
7. Town Planning inspection - 40,000
8. Assessment Fee - 350,000
9. 9% of the cost of land
10. Stamp duty - 30,000
11. Tax clearance certificate.

Please note that you need to submit only the photocopies of items 1 -3. Also, there is a 100k facilitation charge which i did not include. This is so because this cost is only for the person facilitating it as an 'egunje' for him. I hope this helps you.
Re: Cost Of Building A 5 Bedroom Bungalow In Benin-city. by vitodorado: 11:35am On Sep 08, 2011
@ogogo24. To answer your second question, the building is having so much pillars for the simple fact of the parafett design that will be added to it before the roofing. The parafett is like an added load to the structure and this has necessitated the need to reinforce the building appropriately.
Re: Cost Of Building A 5 Bedroom Bungalow In Benin-city. by jumi07601: 2:51pm On Sep 08, 2011
@ Ogbefi_007, thank you for the response!

@ vitodorado, thank you for the timely response! Just for addt'l clarification, in my case, I have 4 plots of land so does that mean that I have to pay the fees you outlined below for each plot to get a C of O that covers all 4 plots?
Re: Cost Of Building A 5 Bedroom Bungalow In Benin-city. by vitodorado: 4:09pm On Sep 08, 2011
@jumi. Yes, because the costing is for a plot (100x100ft) only. So this means you have to multiply it by 4 plots.
Re: Cost Of Building A 5 Bedroom Bungalow In Benin-city. by jumi07601: 4:48pm On Sep 08, 2011
@ vitodorado, thanks for the clarification; much appreciated!

Spot on brother, carry go!

Coincidentally, Mr George surveyed my plot too. A piece of advice to those who'll be surveying their plots soon, try and be on site while it is being done, very very important.

Cheers.

Re: Cost Of Building A 5 Bedroom Bungalow In Benin-city. by Ogbefi007: 8:51am On Sep 10, 2011
@All, Assessment Fee of N 350,000 , looks pretty high for me, is this related to location, could this be linked to UGBOR area being a GRA extention? will this price be same for areas like EYEN, Aduwawa axis?

I salute you Oga Vitodorado, welldone. How's your project coming on?
Re: Cost Of Building A 5 Bedroom Bungalow In Benin-city. by vitodorado: 3:27pm On Sep 21, 2011
Hi All, Sorry for the sudden break off this thread. I've been actually busy with my official duties as i was away attending a professional training programme. However, my honorable builder has been doing justice to the project and will post some pics in my next post.

The foundation has been concluded and the next step now is to embark on the filling.

The filling will commence and hopefully end in the next 3 days, even though one of the rooms was almost filled from a new well i later decided to dig again after stopping initially. But my builder is advising we pay 180k to some boys who work as masons in the community to go round and get us some filling sand as he estimated that we'd need up to 30 trips to conveniently fill up the whole place and we can save cost if we adopt the plan B . Guys what do you all think?
