Many have finished two, three projects and moved on because the place is now infested with crooks, swindlers and hustlers like you.
Just look at the way you hustlers inundate the thread with adverts, in our days, you dare not. Go and ask the legends here.

Yes, l pop-in here once in awhile to see the stocatto of hustlers like you, pretending to be Professionals.

Like I said, I don't really care about who you are and what you have. It's none of my business. It's simply childish to argue with you. Bragging is not in me. Am good with the clients I have and am quite sure they are far better than you. Deal with that.

Opportunity meets preparedness: He is too good.
I met this guy off nairaland through a friend who recommended him after he saw how my duplex walls were messed up during construction. The walls were not straight making me spend more in plastering without getting the required result. And the plans were altered without my approval. That's the disadavnatage of not being available at site during the day. As an engineer (not civil), nothing can be as hurting as this.

This new guy blew me away with impeccable quality of supervision work. His workers are too good. The walls are so straight. The drawing were followed to the letter - with Pin-point accurate dimensions. Initially, I thought the guy is a lay-man but on further enquiry I discovered that he's a UNN trained civil engineer (without coren).

It made me wonder: how can someone with such immense skillset and collection of cheap and good artisans be without any marketing strategy? No picture of previous work done except taking you to people's houses he has buiit.

I have a dream for this guy. I want to setup a construction company with him. I know he can compete and win the best here. He may not have the resources to be at the top, but I am an optimist; I believe I can infect him with positive energy and help him excel. If I can realised this dream, I'll be 10% fulfilled that I've taken one man out of poverty.

But first, how do I get him to be a registered engineer in the shortest possible time?

You mean one bedroom flat or self contain apartments? Just for clarity sake. Depending on the shape of the land. If is rectangular, 5 May sit on a plot of 60/120fit

Yes, I meant one bedroom flat. Thanks

Boyhood:

While one bedroom flat as the name implies, has a bedroom, sitting room then toilet and kitchen and in some cases dinning area but a self contained also refer to as single room self-con is just A room with it's toilet and kitchen.

True that, but in the trade both terms are often so used interchangeably that it is important to make a clear distinction to avoid confusion.

4 - 6 Units Max in a Plot.
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by diordaves(m): 2:19pm On May 25, 2020

4 - 6 Units Max in a Plot.

If I'm the poster, this is what I will now do before commissioning an architect. I will crunch the numbers.

So for example, in my location a one bedroom goes for N20,000 per month and two bedrooms flat goes for N30,000.

Option 1
Now 20k X 6 units = 120k per month in total for one bedroom units.

What if I mix things up with the same budget and land? What will be the outcome?

Option 2
20k (1 bed) X 4 units = 80k per month.
30k (2 bed) X 2 units = 60k per month.

So mix-mode will yield 140k per month in total.

From above, Option 2 will yield 20k more per month. This is an extra one bedroom flat income. So effectively, you have 6 mix units producing 7 units income.

Now can the architect be more creative and product a mix mode of 6 units with the same arrangement?

For me this is what I will do.

Your points are valid though.
But here are a few things to note.

The size and shape of the land had a role to play in the number of unit and approach to follow that's why we usually request for survey plan from a client for further analysis and advise.

Saydfact, Dennis3D and other builders/architect in the house. What's the maximum number of 1bedroom apartments (bungalow) that can sit on a plot of land with parking space for three vehicles?

Maximum is 6 x 2 = 12 of 1 room self contain (hostel standard)... offcourse you have a space to park about 4 cars left and for services (eg tank, drying line etc)

Interesting perspective. The house I currently live has 1 bedroom and 2 bedroom flats in the same compound and from what I've observed, tenants in the two bedroom flats have the most rent issues with the landlord.

Now that I plan to build mine for rent, I'm strictly considering 1 bedroom apartments only. My guess is, its going to be less of a headache when its time to collect rent.

Thanks to Dennis3D and saydfact(I actually meant 1 bedroom flats) for your responses. Once the survey plan is out, you guys have a client already.

Stick to your one bed flat idea for rent as the case may be at this time.

As a professional that's conversant with the cost of materials and labour in Benin City, Edo State, I will advise you budget 25m to 35m.
