spyder880:


Yes, its much better to complete the plastering work before any other works like doors and windows. Plastering is a stage of the work and when mixed with other aspects of finishes, might confuse the whole process.

I have read many times on this forum that it is better to install the windows before plastering.

So far, the structure of this Bungalow is not looking bad. This is for those who says I critique unfairly. Meanwhile, I’ll keep my fingers crossed while the foundation keep settling.

However, the single rooms self contain you built beside it took the shine off it. I guess that building must have gulped over 7 million Naira, and has gone down on record as the worst constructed structure on Nairaland. Infact, no poor workmanship in the property section could compare with it. I'll love to see the updates on it as I did offer solutions to some of the damages.

As regards my take on the cost of this particular 2 Bed Bungalow, I believe the 2.1 Million spent so far should have at least covered the ceiling and plumbing of this small house. Afterall, basic PVC ceiling of 80K and plumbing 60K (the whole materials and labor) should do the trick except the owner wants something more special.. My two pence worth though.

More work going on here as we bring in the carpenters to start framing the foundation for a good DPC.
