Of course, he does! Over time, I've learnt that "Success stops when you do" and "The best way to escape your problem is to solve it".

It has been almost a month since we break ground in this project and as you may expect, there has been considerable progress. In fact, we are over two weeks ahead of schedule on this project. This is largely because we are committed to the successful completion of the project. All of the buffers that had been put into the work schedule for work stopping due to rain have not been needed.

So, since my last update a lot have transpired at the site.

1. We have completed the first floor slab formwork and proceeded to the staircase
2. We've received 200 bags of cement for the casting of the first floor slab
3. We've transloaded some granite from the dump site to the project site
4. We've completed the first floor beam reinforcement
5. We've also added the flower trough to the structure as specified in the drawing.

Here are picture updates from the construction site.

Thanks for the updates Oga Brabus. You are really progressing nicely.
I will sure be very interested in the cost of the First floor flab (Decking) work
as that is what is scaring me on my project now.. Thanks.

Thanks for quick update.. I beleive there may be a cost difference in Sango-Otta (along Lagos to Abeokuta highway) in Ogun State.
About what percentage should I add for the zone difference, given the same building size? Thanks.

I think the cost difference should be a downward review and not upward because the material cost here are not cheaper than what's obtainable in Sango-otta (except for the bamboos, woods and planks).

1. 350 pcs of 1 x 12 x 12 planks @ N800 - (N280,000)
2. 150 pcs of 2 x 3 x 12 planks @ N250 - (N37,500)
3. 170 bags of cement @ N1750 - (N297,500)
4. 3 bags of Nail @ N5,000 - (N15,000)
5. 2 bundles of binding wire @ N6,000 - (N12,000)
6. 1/2 ton 10mm iron rod @ N120,000 - (N60,000)
7. 3 ton of 12mm iron rod @ N115,000 - (N345,000)
8. 2 ton of 16mm iron rod @ N115,000 - (N230,000)
9. Granite (60 ton) - N300,000
10. Sharp sand (80 ton) - N160,000
11. Stone Dust (20 ton) -
12. Labour charges - (Terrain dependent)
13. Miscellaneous - N150,000
14. Electrical/Mechanical works -
15. Bamboo - 350 pcs @ N150 (N52,500)

Thats it. Check the reinforcement details and the formwork to ascertain the quality of the work.

It doesn't have to be overly expensive for it to make meaning.
