So i have always wanted to ask.. what are the required setbacks (front, rear & sides) in Lagos going by standard regulation? i believe this should be a standard number that doesn't change unless the regulation is reviewed, but i have seen different numbers being quoted depending on who you speak to.

I'm aware it is commonplace to make two separate drawings for approval and design, but let's assume i want to use just one drawing that will be the design and as well be in compliance with the regulations.

Doing two fully detached units. One on front (A) and the other behind (B) divided by a dwarf fence, separate gate entrances. then what should be the setback for;
1/ front fence to building A in front
2/ between the buildings A & B
3/ rear building B to the fence behind

Any takers in the house..

As much as you might want your estimate to be correct, your estimate is wrong.

you need 1 HDF for the Side boards because its cut into 2 piece of 2ft each for left and right side board. You need one HDF for front Side boards, with some peices out of it for the Top and Bottom board. You need one HDF for inner Partitions and Drawers Boards so thats 3 Boards Making it 36k.

You need angle Bracket 1k5 making it 37k5
You need Screw 1k5 making it 39k
You need Edges Tape About 2k. Making it 41k
You need Hinges for doors about 1k5. Making it N42k5
You need Drawer Runner. 1k5 a pair which is 3k. Making is N45k5
You need You need back board one piece 3k for the back. Making it N48k5
You need Edges Tape like 3k. Making it 51k5
You need Handles, 800 a pair. with 4 = N3k2. making it N54k7
You need Ephostic Bond/Glue Let stay 2k2 Making it N57k
You need Hanger Pole N3k Making it N60k
Then lets allow 5k for transport of Materials from Anywhere to site. It could be more if Mushin is Far off from the site. This makes it N65k
What is left for Labour?[/b]

As much as we want some things to just be as cheap as we would have loved. they will remain the prices they are. But if OP can negotiate to 75k, no problem.

Sir,
There are two identifiable problems in your quote above;

1.) You are not taking into consideration, that l was quoting price for a SINGLE Unit.
You wont use a whole pack of Screws (@1.5K) for a single wardrobe.
Neither will you use a pack of Hinges, Angle brackets, A whole roll of Edges Tape or a whole gallon of Evo Stik for a Single Unit.
By the time you spread the cost of these items over 4Units, it should reduce the price by 1/4.

2.) You also assume that the size of the Wardrobe is 4 x 8 (which is the standard size of the HDF Boards).
Ordinarily, except you insist on a Wall-to-Ceiling type, the standard size is usually 3ft x 6ft.
Thus, you dont need that much HDF, as you quoted.
You will likely use 2/3rd of what you quoted.

Not to mention that you even repeated/double-quote TWICE, for Edges Tape, at different prices!

I still think the price of materials and labour for a Single Unit will not go beyond 50-55K and will even be less since he is doing 4units.
Ofcourse, this is just my opinion.

Sir thank you very much. Your advice is most appreciated. What is this andriod app you talk about? In terms of quality (durability) of tiles, are Nigerian made tiles okay, as I am guessing they will be cheaper than imported. I am not one of this people that believe that anything imported is always better than the local made products. Some so called imported goods are cheap inferior stuff from China etc! Thank you

Just got out of jail, from Spambot.
It is called Unit Converter.

Nigerian tiles are okay though they have their limitations.
You can use them but ensure you use the higher quality types (Spanish or Italian, which also cost more) for the high traffic areas like corridors and very visible areas like sitting rooms, kitchens

I have seen a 4 bedroom bungalow using almost same number of cable a duplex uses.. cause of the size

If you have a picture of your building you can send it.
And also we don't how many lighting points, sockets points , wall light etc

The only thing that can give any indication of where any money can take you is the design, size and foundation plans. The land, environmental factors and government regulation will also play a role.

It's not advisable to start throwing figures about without real details.
