Hmm! Eyes are itchy to see more updates. So sorry to disappoint.

It’s been a long time since major works has been done on site and there has been little progress as my boys are still on vacation.
However, I popped by the house today to resume work but we couldn't do anything today. The house is still as it is. Project resumes tomorrow.

Watch this space for more updates.

Thanks for your time on this thread. 6" block as at yesterday cost N130 per block in Ajuwon, Lambe, Iju etc.

If I have the dimension of the building in question, I can provide a guess-timate.

Please do you know where i can buy frontal tiles (those designed tiles used in the front of buildings) in Lagos and the price it goes for.
Re: From Paper To Brick: A Journal Of Construction Activities by Natudu: 5:43pm On Jan 07, 2013
This is coming out better than anticipated. I would love to see how this designed facia claddings compare with the parapet type. Please, fast forward to completion.

I think everything is fine except for the service charge. You should negotiate that further down.

These tiles are everywhere in Lagos and their prices varied a lot.

I got the ceramic tiles in picture below from a friend who import tiles in Ajah area.

It's called Country Clay and the Dimension is 8" x 25". I got it around N2,700 per sqm. I'll confirm the prices now cos that's a long time.

@ Farm+ and others requesting for details on the roof cladding.

We used .55 guage aluminium for the cladding. The colour is Ivory White and the product is from Standard Aluminium along Dopemu/Cement road. The installer is Dubasilo and he can reached on his mobile line +2348062444363 (Nnamdi).

He's a specialist but a very busy one. I've started chasing him since we break ground. At a much later time, I'll open a thread showcasing his works.
