Hey guys
I don't know if I'm on the right thread
I want to read up on building a house from scratch...to enable me have a prior knowledge of the different stages.... first step till the last stage.

With the small fund I have been able to save, I wish to build a three bedroom flat on my land. What are the processes, yes I am aware I need the services of an engineer, builder etc but I equally wish to sound professional while engaging them before they deal with me lol

If here is not the right place, kindly recommend a thread...simply put...I want to save cost at any given opportunity
Many thanks guys

Good day sir. You are on the right thread.

Building projects usually runs in 3 stages or phases;
1. Stage one : Preliminary design/ sketch development/ preliminary or interim cost forecast. At this stage you have to think about what you requirements you want your build to satisfy. It is important that you involve an Architect at this stage to help tailor your needs to suit your purpose. At this stage most of the planning is done, if you fail to get things right at this stage the outcome may not be favorable.
NB. Do not proceed to the next stage if you have not taken care of this stage.
The deliverables you are expected to achieve at this stage includes, schematics of site layout showing set backs and access road, floor plans showing the flow of activities fenestration and furniture arrangements, 3D models showing different views.
Do not forget to post the schematics here for objective criticism.

2. Working drawing/production drawing and Tendering stage.
If stage one is satisfactorily completed, then the Architect, Engineers produce the needed drawings. Architectural, Structural, Electrical and Mechanical drawings. These makes up the contract/ tender documents, estimates to be submitted by any contractor will be based on this.
NB. Architectural deliverable is beyond the 8sheets of paper some folks presents as Architectural drawing. It should include but not limited to.
a. Site location plan showing the site from a landmark. Overlaying a Google map is preferable here.
b. Site plan showing the access road, North arrow, bounding features, space use analysis, setting out lines, proposed facilities, direction of site slope, contour readings if available, setbacks.
c. Floor plans showing the various spaces, spot heights, material specifications, dimensions of walls window doors beams columns, door and window codes, north arrow.
d. Sections
e. Elevations
f. Reflected ceiling plans
g. Roof framing plan
h. Roof covering plan
I. Details.
J. Door and window schedules.
k. Finishes schedule

3. Contract award and construction stage.
Here you award the contract and work with your team to actualize your dream.

Please do not forget to get building permits and settle your host community before kick off.

Good luck boss.

I have a similar experience with my Lexus
CD audio player years ago. I’m about to order one from used junkyard in US that cost me $400 including shipments, when my friend had me taking to someone about it, luckily for me, am on my way to Matori to see his new printing company. It’s been over 13 years I’ve been to that location then, when I get to his office. We just drive ladipo am surprise when these guys rush to my car, one of them asked me what was the problem. I could not believe the guy fix the cd audio in less than 30 minutes and only charge 1k, my friend price it down to 850 naira I give the guy 2k for job well done. Imagine, that is what it could have cost me $400 that I won’t get done right away. Don’t let us underestimate those guys over there.

Nigerians are very resourceful & intelligent. To buttress your point, many years ago I had problem with the fuel pump of my Benz 190. I was broke & couldn't afford a new replacement. A friend suggested spare parts market at Agodi Gate. A young chap who never attended a high school REPAIRED the fuel pump. I used it for more than a year before I bought a new original fuel pump. Nigerians are ingenious!

Nigerian artisans and skilled workers might not posses the certificates, but we're doing well for ourselves with the little tools and training available to us

In concurrence with @UC92.

I would highly recommend you take your time and review his write up with a heavy emphasis on step 1.

First, get on your drawing board, you know what you want, your family and financial situation and future plans.

Are you currently married, single with marriage in sight, single with marriage sometimes in the future?
Do you live outside the country and want to do something nice and pocket friendly for your folks?

What do you expect to see in the house? Do you work from home? Want to set up a home office, gym etc?

Do not underestimate your own design eyes..

Make sure the functionality of the house is what you crave, is what will work for you.

Do not design a house from the outside in, rather from the inside out.. you have to live inside the house and need to make sure the functionality of the inside will work for you.

You could by all means ask for the architects professional opinion but make sure your wants/needs/cravings/functionality of the house is not undermined in the process.

I have seen people build a house for their parents that the parents couldn't live in. Brah lives in Texas, wanted to bring Texas home and design a house similar to his, all bedrooms are upstairs and living room and kitchen downstairs. Guess what? His parents are in their late 70s and early 80s and wouldn't prefer climbing up and down the stairs.. bro had to soup up the boys quarter and that's where his parents live, the main house is rarely used.

The dampness is from the foundation, no damp proofing was done, either no damp proof membrane was installed at the junction where the wall connects with the foundation e fit be say you no even do German floor self, or the foundation height is same as the ground level, I will recommend you put tiles up to the height the dampness is showing, make it look like an interior decor, as water can't penetrate through tiles
