To much for the labour that mean N60 for one block 200-210k



saydfact:


I believe it is fair (if the 4500 blocks are correct)..

Price it down a bit (especially the block setting can still come to 220k, 230k, 240k) or to whatever you both agree on; but note - its fair

Bamboo Poles

I need a sizeable quantity of Fresh Bamboo poles for erecting scaffold for a Twin Duplex project in Lekki. Kindly get in touch if you can provide at a reasonable cost.

Also appreciate advice on the choice of Bamboo for scaffold versus other alternatives.

Project is just about to start roofing ( Roof beams and Parapet about to be done) and intent is to retain scaffold for other activities Plastering, windows, painting e.t. c which will take a few months ( possibly till end of the year to complete) -

Hey, I just recieved a response regarding the cladding tiles i talked about here.
I guess its Bruno Bruno farad. I'll be contacting him for my job specifications, descriptions and material types. It's a 6 bedroom duplex without void and an inbuilt car garage at the rear in my villa. Level of work is on the upper floor but suspended until my next vacation. I believe in strength and quality, therefore started foundation with 16mm rods and 32 columns.[quote]

Landmark Builders, one of the most exceptional architectures of the best flats in Calicut, building luxury 2 & 3 BHK apartments. Calicut is one of the fastest-growing cities in Kerala, which makes it the logical choice for investment. Landmark builders give you a range of commercial property for sale in Calicut, and real estate is the great investment that can be made in the time being. Considering the fast pace growth of Calicut City with the induction of cyber parks, manufacturing units, and other costly infrastructure developments, a real estate investment in the city will be a good opportunity for investment in the upcoming commercial hub.

MY BRICKLAYER SAID I CAN BUILD A COMFORTABLE 3BEDROOM BUNGALOW FOR 3MILLION NAIRA

Client: How much will you charge for design and supervision of this 3bedroom apartment?

Me: Okay sir, send me your email, let me send you a bill.

Client: Ha, Architect. This bill is too much now. Okay, just do the design alone, I have a very good bricklayer, you don't need to supervise it again.

Me: Okay sir. But if we supervise the project for you, I can assure you that there will be value for money, quality job delivery and we'll help you reduce wastage of materials and cost of construction to about 30%. You will enjoy regular cost projection, proper negotiations, discounts on other materials, etc

Client: My bricklayer told me I can build the house for N3m. So, leave all those things you're saying.
Me: OK sir.

(We agreed on the design bill, he paid and we delivered a perfect job. He started showing everybody what we did for him).

(3MONTHS LATER)

Client: Architect, nawa for you oh, you didn't even ask about my building project. You can't believe that the bricklayer messed up the work for me. He changed many things on the design without telling me. He has wasted my money and materials. The house is not even looking like the 3D you did for me anymore. I have sacked him and I just decided to abandon the project for now. It's really annoying.

Me: Eeyah, I'm so sorry to hear this.

Client: I really need you to come to the site and help me see what 'we' can do to solve this problem.

Me: Okay sir. But I thought he was so confident that N3million will build the house. So, what has changed?

Client: See, just forget about that guy, he stole my Cement and had a bargain with the block supplier to be taking a cut on every block supplied to the site. I noticed that the blocks we bought initially were different from the ones supplied afterwards. When I complained, he said, I shouldn't worry, the blocks are strong. This is apart from the poor jobs he did for me.

Me: Wow. This is really bad. I'll call later to fix a time to meet you.
----------------

These are the similar conversations we have had with some clients, from failed building projects. Often times, we tell people not to bank on what their artisans tell them.

Not that they can't be correct, but we as professionals usually do in-depth analysis of what it costs to build a house. They will tell you a figure just to make you start and you'll expect that your house will be ready with that amount.

So, when you ask me, if 3 Million Naira will build a 3-bedroom bungalow, I'll tell you No, it will not. 3 Million Naira will probably take it to roofing level depending on the size of your building.

A lot of people have been deceived into such beliefs and they ended up realizing that they need about double or more of such amount to complete the house. Most people end up abandoning the project for a long time as a result of this.

Engaging experienced and trustworthy professionals like Architects, civil engineers and builders on your project will save you a lot of heartbreaks, sadness and will help you achieve your dreams.

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.

It’s not possible, unless you wish to sabotage the foundation

As d poster above said raft ..but d clue is at what level water rise in such area ..do u have a river very very close by ..because most times swampy area are plain which when d water table rises its meant to keep the spillage ..

exp I have a site dry season water table is below 700mm but when d river rise d height of water is above 2 meters..

All said above is d clue. so ask around or look for tress or ur neighbor fence to determine this u will see d damp part from previous water and pls if u want to d raft make sure its done well not d one that d concrete will be like sand and later collapse due to pressure ..d footing should be adequate
