My take on this issue is true evaluation. How do you know how much your property is worth after say, 5yrs in Nigerian RE? Too much speculations.

Building Cost is Fixed. Rent Revenue of an area is relatively known. Repair and Appreciation are Variable. Salvage Estimate is my problem.

Why... The Comparable varies wildly in Nigeria. One person will sell a house in same community say, 40M after land and Added Value. Another will sell his 80M in the same community of the same size. One is a Military man, therefore Baale and Omoonile did not add to his cost of construction. The other wasn't so luck.

You can see that the ROI will be different in the above scenarios. I invest long-time in Nigeria's RE. I target above 7%ROI by way of rent income. Appreciation of land and rent revenues are good enough for my simple method of investing. The good thing about rent income is that you can adjust it for inflation quickly. Pass it on to tenant when govern messes up the value of money like Bahari did; lol

What about the ease of selling the house when you want? Another point to consider.

can one build a four bedroom all en suite bungalow with two and half million or less? I'm doing a cost analysis and it's looking possible from my analysis. what's your views on that? i would give my analysis later after hearing some of your views. my labourers would be sourced exclusively from the north where labour is extremely cheap and the house would not include any fancy works. details later but lets hear your views first.

Both are good if raft use BlocMaster 42.5R or Superset 32.5R

Block setting foundation use Dangote 42.5N or Lafarge Classic 32.5N

Good morning great people, pls let the professionals criticize my building plan constructively. Secondly how much materials will be needed from foundation to Dpc ( blocks, cement,sand etc). Thanks for your assistance

It may cost less this way.

Let me explain.

You either do it this way, or do the "german floor" type.

German floor entails casting the entire building foundation. However, if you cast the entire foundation, at finishing stage, especially tilling, you will require screeding before placing the tiles.

In the picture you shared. The cost that you would have spend casting plus screeding can be economised to a thick screeding that would serve as both german floor nd screeding while you tile at the same time.

This means you save your entire german floor cost for screeding which even cost less and can be lumped with tiling labour charges.

The major pros of german floor is its monolithic nature. Secondly, it will prevent dampeness better than pure screed.

This method is becoming increasingly popular due to the prohibitive cost of German flooring. Which is better in your opinion? This is currently my dilemma. I detest the dampness and peeling off of walls and paintings due to it.

Will this method suffice to prevent dampness in a build? What are the likely future demerits of such a method, if any? Is this advisable in a relative "slow to drain" (only during the rainy season) land?

Thanks

Can one still go ahead to do a German flooring after initially flooring only the blocks?

The difference varies depending on who is doing the job.
The other difference is that the time used to source for back filling materials and doing it will be converted to laying the blocks from that DPC level to the roofing level.
The availability of funds and time schedule by clients is also the deciding factor.

This job looks neat. Did you use iron reinforcement in casting over the blocks? Is it still possible to do a general German flooring afterwards. This approach is faster and cheaper, in addition to motivating one to strive harder upon seeing ones build rise to lintel level. Lolz. At the very least, it is better than not doing any.

I am considering adopting thesame approach after discussing with my architect, who also serves as the project supervisor by the way.

Ń. B. I can't seem to notice any damp proof membrane or leather (on the blocks) usually spread over the German floors in the picx attached to ur post.

Which is better for hand moulded blocks? Dangote BlocMaster or Lafarge Supaset?

Which is also better for block laying?
