Roserbert: wow! how come I neva see this thread before now? Anyways, thank God now am in. I av a similar project @hand now, and to the fact that am not working in thesame state whr the project is sited is one thing as I can't just monitor it so closely like you are doing. Somtimes I just feels lik questioning sometinz, but then, any attempt to do so might seems lik am doubting the integrity of the person monitoring the project on my behalf. One thing am just happy with, is that the project is progressing. There are few things I might av love to do differently if am there but, that not wit standing, many thanks to the man and all GLORY TO GOD.

Seriously, I must commend, you are doing a great job here.

I'll be back soon as I really need your opinion on some things on my project. Duty calls...

evanstical: Muyesky. God bless you for this wonderful thread.Please sorry to draw you back. Assuming I used solid block of 6" to build , do I still need the German floor?. Although the place is not waterlogged.

Muyesky:

Thanks a lot sir, will be most glad to be of assistance whenever u are ready. Pls, call 08035757416

evanstical: @mufutau55 ,thanks a lot.

mufutau55:

Regardless of the size of blocks you use.. it's still a good idea to do a german floor for various reasons.
I will advise you to do a german floor.. if you read all the thread on this forum, everyone advises to do a
german floor. If you read some pages back, Muyesky also did a german floor which I and him discussed about it.

Read this link and it should help more on "Advantages of Oversite Concrete or German Floor":

Hajji Mufutau

Muyesky:
At all sir, just trying to compare prices from various pple to get u the most reasonable sir. In a day or two, i will surely mail you

Muyesky:

Thanks a lot sir, will be most glad to be of assistance whenever u are ready. Pls, call 08035757416

Roserbert:

Am grateful sir,
in the interim, the plumber just gave a bill of 135k for laying of pipes (material + workmanship), is the price reasonable for a 3 Bedroom all ensuite? Let me note that I requested for full conduit.

Thanks a bunch!

Muyesky:

Sounds reasonable enough......that's if he knows what he's doing. Just make sure he gets the original brand for you. God bless u sir

Muyesky you are doing a great job, keep it up....can I see a picture of your bathroom, is it bath or shower? And what advantage does a tilled lounge (sitting room) and bedroom (.floors and walls)have over the non tilled

Azone: This is great, I like your attitude towards this and the passion you have.

Many people this days dont see this, they might have spent 3m on what they themselves dont understand.

I would like to know your honest opinion, I know you are building a 3 bedroom, but would 700k build a ROOM & PARLOR SELCONTAIN?

I would just like to have an idea of it, please share your thought.

Thanks

Muyesky:

Let's look at it this way, 400 blocks shld do a standard room for u, room and parlor then shld be at least 800 blocks, now include the bathroom and kitchen which shld take abt 250 blocks. Now u av about 1050 blocks minimum. An average 6" block is #120 x 1050 = #126000. Sharp Sand, plaster sand, iron rod and gravel shld set u back by at least #250k, wooding doors (4) like #60k, aluminium window at least #50k, wood work for roofing #150k, aluminium #200k and overall labour i.e for all stages, at least #200k. Already, u av #1036000. This is just for a standard one. Cld be lower or more, depending on u. God bless u sir.

mufutau55:

You forgot the important part.. Foundation and with or without German Floor.. that alone will eat up N700k.
But your estimates on the other are also good examples.. With N2m he should be able to complete everything
without fancy finishing.. just essential finishing.

Hajji Mufutau

Roserbert: Thank you very much sir,

Please I like to know (let's say on a rough estimation) like how many bags of cements will be enough for plastering a 3 bedroom flat in and out and flooring (A sitting room, dinning, 3 rooms, 3 bathrooms, kitchen, and a store - just of d size of bathroom) + suck-away. Mr. Muyesky, I wouldn't mind if you can tell me howmany you used for yours.

what should be d thickness of the plaster?

Remain blessed!

Roserbert:

Let me just buttress point already established by friends here that, 700k definitely won't be enough! With that noted, let me also say most importantly that 700k is not bad to start with. one thing I personally have come to understand about building is that, you must not have all the required fund before you start, just take the bold step, go ahead and do something with what you are having presently with you. There is this joy seeing something springing up, dream coming through, it motivates you to strive more and in no time you will be suprised what you have been able to achieve.

Shalom!

we dont just guess brother , i think ur plan, size of the building and design says a lot here. i know i used closed to 80 bags in out.

Roserbert:
I kno for sure size matters sir, but was just surprised when the man asked me τ̲̅ȍ get 150 bags of cement, 7 plastering sand, 2 sharp n 2 stoney.
No problem, I'll kno what τ̲̅ȍ do and get you updated. Thank you very much for your support. Its good having somebody like you τ̲̅ȍ share with.
