this is a rough estimate.. you might add or remove depending on number of your sockets point, and also ac & water heater point.

Thanks a lot boss. Any idea on estimated workmanship please?

Anyone who has gone through these stages recently should give me an idea of workmanship costs please.

I have someone that bought land from there (Ogun state) and was allocated. This was about 2 to 3 years ago. Can't say if they're still the same company now sir.

The level at which illegality is being perpetuated now is worrisome.

If he has completed payment, he should go to their office or ask for a refund if they can't give him any genuine reason.

Alot is going on right now.

Workmanship alone?
This is too much for workmanship alone. Maybe his supervisory charges made up the rest sha.
What I will pay in Abeokuta;
1st stage plumbing shouldn't be more than 50k (I'm being generous here and I'm assuming that there are 4 toilet/bath with 1 kitchen)
First stage Piping for this size should be 40k. I don't know what he's insinuating by using the word "complete"
Plastering...I won't pay more than 300k and that's if they're doing an extraordinary job.
About 3 weeks ago, I paid 500k to plaster 3 units of 2bedroom.
I paid about same amount to plaster a slightly bigger structure in June.
Note: these are for direct labour. Engaging an engineer will cost more. I would still suggest that you engage one though.

Yes bro. It's the supervisory charges. But it's still too much, which is why I brought it here for you people to help me.

I wanted the engineer to handle the plumbing, electrical and plastering. Reason I still engaged him after the carcass was done. But now I'm beginning to think that this will come with a whole lot of extra costs.

Wiring should be the next if the site is safe or there is security. But you need to get main entrance doors and also window/burglary

The difference is too significant bro. There are good artisans that can do great jobs for you. Besides, you're building a simple structure. Bungalows are not usually complicated to build.
You can get some contacts from redgem. she's willing to assist you. Negotiate with artisans and ask him to supervise them. Pay him for each supervisory job done. Although, he may insist on using his own team.


Don't overlook extra costs in construction. They make up huge sum when put together.

You can see the figure I gave you plus labour wasn't even up to engr labour charge alone!!! But it's a small unit get a good electrician to handle it for you . Work with the price I gave you as benchmark. Good luck

If it's bungalow do your pop then wait till you are about to move before you do wiring... You can do wiring and fittings same time... And power your house straight up. What you can do is to buy each materials and keep.

Good luck

It's very strong sir, it can't be easy to cut like ordanary burglaries, at all,
sethtsadopp:


Is this kind of burglary secure enough? Is it not better to have another vertical rod from top to down crossing those horizontal lines? Is that possible to archive? Or no Need?
Im thinking if a criminal uses a car jack, it can easily break this one if they roll the jack up. What do you think?

More views please!
this plan is not good oh,

The entrance lobby should be demarcated from the living room. An entrance door after the entrance lobby. The outer door if designed well may not be necessary.

The dining in a lobby with no natural lighting and ventilation is not good at all.

Your stair is better if accessed from the wide lobby where you placed your dining seats.

The visitors room if designed properly could be cross ventilated.

Okay Sir, hope during wiring, the POP won't be affected? Maybe the electrician wants to pass wires through the ceiling
