Imported furniture get grade but the good ones are out of reach. Locally made ones with quality materials are better.

Thank you very much

Your work is neat. Well done!

Always endeavour to put your rate per/sqm. You never can tell who might be interested.

These prices might now be outdated as I took these pictures a long time ago while shopping for furniture for the "Owerri Royal Manor" I took the pictures on 17th July 2020.

I also noticed that they did some price slash then. These prices are not current at all.

Omo mehn I weak like this but the prices he's quoting are different. Blocks at 280, cement at 3800 and he wants to collect 625k as supervision and overhead. Bros can we talk on a personal make I show you the quotation he brought so you can guide me abeg. In this economy I don't have money to dash man and this is already way beyond my expectations.
sonnie10:

Depending on the soil type but a a dry stable land let just throw some figure around till German floor

2500 of 9” blocks at 230 = 575000
160 bag of cement at 3400 =544000
80 pieces of 16mm at 7200 =576000
100 piece of 12mm at 4400 = 440000
50 pieces of 8mm at 2200 = 110000
60 tons of stone clippings 260k x 2 = 520k
Sharp sand 200k
Filling sand 200k
Planks and other wood 200k
Binding wire 50k
Bag of nails 30k
Water 30k
Dig foundations 100k
Mason to Set 2400 block = 120000
Iron bender 50k
Carpenter 30k
Other labours 50k
Supervision 300k
Transportation of materials 50k
Total 4,175,000

Therefore, your contractor might be right to an extent.
By the time you start adding Dpc nylon, gee pee tank, clearing of site, storage for materials, material for settling the foundation etc its almost that amount.
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by Folorunsho15: 8:32am On Jul 11, 2021
It's just on a plot o, 500sqm. I just weak as he send the bill. Like wtf, just for foundation alone fa
Wish2Die:

It is too much, you contractor must be a ripper, unless his buying a lot of building materials for other stages, but if it is just for foundation, it is too much, but that will also depend on the size of the building.

Wish2Die:

Please don't do that you will regret it, termites will find a path through the tiles and attack wooden components of the building, precipitation and moisture will damage the Inside of your building, during raining season, the floors without concrete layers will be damp and thus affect the interior of the building, you beds and any other things in room in contact with the floor will end up being wet, and you will notice water going up your walls, wall paintings will be peeling off and the wall plasters will swell up. Because the the concrete layer should act as a damp proof course, and without that, dampness and moisture will make the house uncomfortable.

I suggest you do concrete floor but reduce the thickness to about 3 inches, with that you can save cost.

Thanks So Much... Sincere Appreciation for your enlighten!!!,God bless You

Sir, pls do not just assume the guy wants to rip you off, you called him a contractor, not just a builder.
His class could be the issue.
Sir, there are lot of factors to consider before concluding a contractor wants to rip you off.
Good you are here sir, you will get the help needed.

mobileboy:
thanks for the review I received here from the previous drawing I posted, this is an updated drawing, please help review

ground floor
My Observations.
1. The building setback isn't enough. You need space for site utilities like septic tank/soak away, parking, Tank stand.
2. The store attached to the kitchen isn't functional, do away with it.
3. Reduce the width of the kitchen from 3m to 2.4m, add the remainder to the dining so you can have a bigger dining of 2.4m width.
4. The master toilet on the first floor is a waste of space, it is too big.
5. The Lounge on the first floor isn't functional, the flow is poor. I wish you redesign the entire first floor since every other space there revolves around the lounge. Ventilation, furniture arrangement will be a challenge in the lounge.

Please, gentlemen in the house. I want to set up a small twin building. I made the design myself.
Now I want some breakdown on how much it would cost to finish this building.
I'd appreciate the quote to be in stages. (like: foundation, decking, block work, etc.)
...and again if there's any fault in my design (as I'm not an architect grin)

First image is the ground floor and the second is the first floor.

When I met this young guy by the riverside in Langbasa, Ajah Lagos holding an envelope containing some building plan and documents, I stopped him and asked him “Hey young man! How you’re doing? What do you do.... blah blah?”

He confidently replied “I’m a student and I do structural designs grin

The young chap, Tayo worked on almost every NextHome designs from 2014 till date - K024, Browne Mews, The Reserve, SquareOne, FaajiEko, Plot10AB, The Chateau in SilverPoint, Seascape Villa (Ecolodges), XL6 Trillion, The Nonuplets, NextHome20 - just to name a few.

Skyscrapers are emerging.

Watch out for exciting projects from these young professionals.

Beyond building construction, we build up young professionals. This is our own little way of adding value to our beloved country. ~ Brabus
