I think cement price is still stable here. I was on a project yesterday and we still got #2400. Though it’s a government project (Ogun state affordable housing).

Everybody in Nigeria is a SARS grin
You're them right, no any worst SARS then government officials any little position the fine themselves the became god.

If it's kobokobo, you'll be working directly with the welder. I think it should be around #220. If I'm involved, it is 250k pere.

2mm thick plate
Matt black finish

Actually a very good price if the details are close to 90% of in the picture.

I’m sure it’s only N75K in other parts of the country though grin

Unfortunately in this current climate you won’t get far but you can at least get started and motivated.

You’re looking at N1.6M to get to this level. It’s a 2 bedroom plus 1 bedroom flat joined together. I think I can finish it moderately for another N2M.

Just trying to show you a real life exercise instead of theory.

Good luck.

just look at that sky, priceless grin grin grin

Please House. I have been following this thread for few years now and I started my building too recently. I'm at the roofing stage and I intend to stop at that for now because of fund. But I still have more cement on ground. So I'm thinking is it possible I do the plastering before the bulglary,door and window fixing?

Yes, You can do it, it wont harm anything.
What you are trying to do is find good use for the left over cement, before the harden,
If you cant sell/return them to the seller to sell for you then you have to put it to use.
Have yyou done your Soakaway? if not can you not use it for that?
You can actually plaster around the Windows but leave a distance of about six incheas around the Perimeter of each window, to cater for breakages when the Window frames will go in later.
It wont spoil anything, just leave some incheas to the edges, around areas you will need to fxi things later (Roof, Doors, Windows, etc).

Respect to all the structural engineers in the house. You're the reason the world go round!

That period of waiting taught me a lot. I understand that film-faced plywood is better than timber if you want your concrete to achieve maximum strength.

You are absolutely right!

Thanks for sharing. Renting props in some cases can also cause this.

One site engineer decide to rent props from a carpenter for his project. The headroom was at 3m but the carpenter was only able to supply a 2.75m bamboo. So he decided to join the props.

The rest was history. The slab came down.


I mentioned this during that discussion.

Just completed external plastering today.

The roof facial is also of concrete rather the common board.

The next is to start internal plastering.

Now thinking about the order of finishing

1. Wiring
2. Plumbing
3. Stainless rails and balustrade
4. Doors
5. Tiles
6. Painting
7. Fencing
8. Gate

Don't know if this order makes sense, being mindful of those that try to burgle wires

Good morning everyone. I do hope you're all safe even in the midst of this protests. I just want to say I saw your kind words and encouragements and I want to appreciate oga Gbadexy who paid for the door and Oga Spyder who took out time from his busy schedule to review it. I want to appreciate Oga Egunmogaji and N3xt who gave me the needed opportunity to explain my works. I believe such scrutiny is needed to be able to remove the chaffs from the corn especially in this climate of fraud that we live in. I still look forward to doing that job for you oga Egunmogaji. I will do a job most welders around you can't.

My special appreciation goes to you my best customer. Thanks and stay safe

Are you joking 40k daily
Any time I see u I will park well
Jesus -I need help

Imagine o!
Even those days when we are waiting for Decking to Dry within that 90days, Engineer-Supervisor still collects 40K each day, right? grin grin
I think we have discussed this issue before, all these extortionate percentages will not fly for most individual builders.
How can you expect someone to give you #5M out of his #50M build Capital, just to pop-in a few times or hang around observing or is the Engineer also going to carry trowel and Head Pan ni? grin grin

I know some emergency Engineers are pushing for such greedy percentage but God help them.
I will only call a Consultant in, when l need to do some critical parts and it will be Pay-As-You-Go. undecided
My Builder wil do the rest.
