Please any idea ruff estimate how much it will cost to carry this building from this state till roofing? Plastering and internal finishing not included. The current state is foundation filling.
My engineer said it will cost 10m to get the building to roofing(carcass) I wasn’t expecting it to be that much. If it will cost me 10m to get to roofing at just Caracas, does it mean it will cost me 20million just finish just a 4bedroom bungalow? It is too much. 4bedroom all ensuit, please any help?

Location? and does it have a parapet design? If this is Lagos, between 10m -13m will finish it. But to be certain we need to see the design of the house, building materials are costly nowadays

Please, how best can an excavation on a hard sedimentary rock be done? Diggers are not making any significant differences.

Good day everyone, do you guys remember this building I posted sometime and asked if 10M would finish it to turn key ? (Pic 1)

Well, here’s an update on the progress, so far approx 7M has been spent on 2 couches, Paraphet casting, front pillars, roof and rain gutter, alluminum windows and burglaries, plumbing and electrical piping and purchase or wires (kept at home till finishing stages)

Plastering is on going and bricklayer charged 550k for all, fence inclusive *crying*

We are left with pop, tiling, doors, soak away and fittings.

Very good, you can see that the 10m is almost finished.
Finishing is where the money goes, forget the carcass, roofing and plasterings etc.
Please be prepared for the internal finishings; windows, doors, burglaries, plumbings, tilings, electrical fixtures, POP, paintings, floorings, just to mention few. Please dont be scared, you will complete it by the grace of Almighty God.
Good luck.

Yes o bros...it will most probably cost you that much if you plan on doing a chained lintel, roofing beam, parapet and stone-coated roofing. Might cost you less if you exclude roofing beam, parapet and maybe do aluminum long span roofing sheets.

As for the finishing, 10m might not even be enough Sir, but it will largely depend on the quality of the finishing (i.e. your taste).

10 - 13m will not finish that building Sir, definitely not in the current economic climate. Foundation isn't even filled yet o, not to even mention German flooring, and we're talking about a 4 - 5 coach of 4 bed all ensuite bungalow foundation filling. 10m may not even roof that building, if he's thinking of doing a parapet and stone-coated roofing....

I'm not a Quantity Surveyor, Builder or anything close to those, but I'm only talking from personal experience, and costs are even higher now compared to when I did mine lipsrsealed

You want to do block work, columns, lintels, roofing and first fix of plumbing and electrical installation works...That's my own definition of what constitute a carcass.

Please state the area of the building or the numbed of bedrooms and other important space in the building. That would help to have an approximate estimate.

Carpenter workmanship : 150k ( 4 steps Paraphet)

Wood : 350k approx

Iron: 370k (I had some on ground already. Note: pillar had irons too)

Cement: 50 bags at 3,850 to site from twins Faja ( remained about 12-15 approx I think ) - 192,500

Welder workmanship: 50k

Sharp sand: 125k approx

Bricklayer charges per day 5k and 3k for laborer.

Granite: I had this on site already so I’m not sure what the cost is.


Not sure if I’m omitting anything but that’s about the rough estimate I guess



Good morning Sir, please is this for Concrete or Precast Parapet?

Hi guys, I need your advice on the design attached. Critics welcomed. My concern is the ante-room is not being it. I want it to be a passage through to the kitchen... I thought if we had groceries shopping etc... there would be easy access to the kitchen than passing the living room; that was why I had that in the design? Does it make sense? Any suggestion? Thanks

Total about 1.3 - 1.4 million? Did you do a scaffold for the parapet? If you include its cost what will it amount to?

Finish it? As in turnkey? Engineer, I don't think so..

Even this foundation with the German floor will consume 1.5 - 2million. Then superstructure. Then roof.
