Ignorance is a disease ( no insult intended ). Sis , under normal circumstance , wood is the best material for erecting high rising buildings, in the west that's the norm .

kopell: Oga Sypder I will advise you to send your business idea with your resume, of all your building projects portfolio with picture of you in action.To the event of unicef thru information that the brother provided above, I can bet you someone will get in touch with you. This is America information is power here please art fast.

You have a good point, PH is expensive in most things, from granite to sand and even the labour costs here na die! But I will be pushing the boundaries of focused spending with a deep knowledge about the safest ways to pay lower and get more for less. I will also be coming in with my team of workers from Enugu, and they must agree to work with me in PH with Enugu labour rates. I will build a 'batcher' for them to live on this site.

baby_123: 2 Months pere for a solid duplex. Ok o. Let me be watching. This better be the best job you ever did, otherwise, bad market..

My brother, I will be here to fight as much as I can to stick to this budget. Some things are seeming like they will be too costly but here we are, the fight must go on. PH is tough, everything is high here but we are here and must face the fight. Digging starts tomorrow, expect more pictures as usual.

MaxNdu: If it were only Nigerians in the world, with some of the comments about Spyder's project in PH, I doubt if man would have been able to invent bicycle, talkless of going to the moon.
Spyder, remain focused. Some of us believe in your abilities and sound judgement.

Reference: And another fact often ignored when these mind boggling, head scratching sums are mentioned is quality. Poster, what is the level of quality you deliver. From structural integrity to finishing. Cos good quality materials and skilled craftsmanship to put them together don't come two a penny. You move into a new house particularly in estates and find out that you have massive repairs to do right away.

spyder880: Some of my contingent from the last duplex in Ebonyi state just landed in my area in Enugu. They will be joining the Enugu group and we all are planning to move very early tomorrow morning to PH. Action starts tomorrow on this site, (barring any last minute hiccups)

spyder880:

Thank you, the project is for only the cost of foundation till roofing, 'carcas' only. No finishing at all, no plastering, no tiles, no electrical fitting
or toilet fittings.

baby_123:

You think we have money and time for termite damage, flood sweeping away our houses. Do you think we have insurance on houses? We build it solid so it can last for years. The down side is that you cannot easily modify. Who cares about modifying if you get it all planned out at once.

Empero1:


Bro , fine structure you are erecting there . To your assertion , I want you to know that size and designs are determinant factors in the cost of building project , in your case citing the width of that picture you posted , it must be more than 5 bedrooms duplex , or if it happen to be , it means you wasted a lot of space for inconsequential things . I have been there before , so I know what M8.8 naira can achieve when managed prudently .

berem: Interesting! I bet no one in Nigeria would dare try building even a storey building with wood no matter how cheap it is. Clay Bricks which is good too, majority of Nigerians don't use it. We are used to Cement. That's why Dangote keep making billions from it.

uhuns:
haba.
I dont understand the following ;
1. why is the caption of the project misleading.
2.your comments that "it seems things are more costly in ph".it seems no ph market survey.
3. a mansion with out fence.haba that no be mansion.
4. now finally the cost excludes some item. as spelt out by your post.

it seems attention of someone is being craved for here.
this is a blog site . I guess we owe each other a truthfull sense of transparency. to me the title was carefully chosen to draw attention to someone. !!!who!!!!?
I hearby rest my case.

franktolk: Its high time Nigerians stopped erecting new structures in an unplanned environment . we are quick to jump into any forest (unplanned area) and build our so called Mansion and after that we would then start clamouring for government to bring in necessary social amenities . I feel our urban Planning department should ensure that no new housing project is embarked on an unplanned area. To me its more like an encroahmennt.What is the benefit of having a beautiful edifice in an area without accessible road.
