sexymoma: Bros na garri and salt he wan use build am o... I wonder how some people passed common entrance..

pro01:

N10m should build a decent 4 bedroom duplex with basic fittings, on dry land and in an easily accessible location. Talking from recent experience.

Na all these barawo "contractors" dey add nonsense and inflated costs ontop.

tfk08:
U try small, but the some quoatation u mention that r in excess while some r nt achievable.
For instance where u mention 1.5M for decking is nt achievable. i just concluded casting of a floor slab(decking) of a 4-bedroom dulex for a client today in gwarinpa estate abuja, the cost is as follows:
1. Planks, labour n material(nails etc)- 625k
2. Iron(reinforcemen)- 1.05M
3. Sand, stone dust n granite-246k
4. Cement-495k
5. Labour iron bender n man waka-245
Total-2.661M
In summary with 13 to 15M one can build a standard 5- bedroom duplex on a stable soil, in any part of d country.
