Please can one build during this rainy season between August and November? Any thing to be worried about during this period?

VanuatuWycombe:


It’s a pity; you didn’t mention your location. Experts here could have been able to advise you well.

Be careful, my brother. Dem go skwana your money.

Are the rods locally made or imported or TMT?

A local TMT (usual one) is not more than N1,050,000 per tonne for 16mm. Local ones are between N700k and N800k. Buy your binding wire at the place where the rods are bought too and it would be cheaper. If the binding wire looks too stronger for bending, your iron benders will help you burn it a little with tyres and it would become softer.

The wood planks you need to buy the ones that are cut with band (bahn) saw, for them to be straight and be useful for lintel and decking so as not to be leaking your concrete.

Don’t let them supply you anyhow woods because the prices quoted for the woods up there are not for the band saw type. There would be too many short and bad ones among them.

For wood planks of 1x9 and 1x6, kukuma buy 1x12 and pay them a token to rip the planks to your desired sizes. The off cuts can be useful for so many things onsite.
So, calculate all the 1 x 12 you would need together and negotiate it once.

For plumbing, ask him if he is using semi-thick or thick imported. I will advise you use thick imported.
Go and buy it yourself. Let the seller show you samples and you would notice the differences.

Be there when they are laying or fixing the pipes or let someone who is articulate be there.
Let them wash off the dust and dirt on the pipes and clean the pipes with dry cloth before applying gums. Let them apply the gums generously for you not to have a leaking pipe.

Those nails are expensive e.g. the 3” is between N30k to N36k per bag.

Iron bending could be negotiated to N45k per tonne of iron bent by an iron bender.
Just calculate cost per size of the rod bent, using the N45k (total number of rods in a particular mm, divided by N45k) then multiply it by actual number of the class of rods used by the bender.

There’s nothing listed there that you can’t buy by yourself.

You forgot to mention original gum. There are so fake pluming gums these days in the market. Original Abro gum is the best but the price is Ike x2 what they are selling other products.
Leaking pipes after installing could really be a big pain. A tin of Abro is about #12k while others are sold between 7-8k . They will try to convince you that all gums are the same, no they are not.
For the pipes, Nigerite seems to be the best. Its is also more expensive than imported ones.

Thanks for adding this.

Did you pay the person that did this? Please make sure you collect your money from him, plus cost of materials.
Maybe that will deter all these apprentices from running away before completing their learning experience.

This might only be the fault of the plaster sand... the type of plater sand that was used...

But no panic sir...

I was looking for a small bachelor pad design to build on my farm when I came across this building. I calculated the money spent with the Nigeria exchange rate and it was 6 million naira for a single room and a toilet. I think this is way too much for such building, not even a mini room and parlor with kitchen. Who has a mini one bedroom bungalow design with a big store attached to it to keep livestock feeds?

First of all, this is not up to 6m project. Maximium 3.7-3.9m

Have you considered the type of material and mixing ration put in the work?

I think it's the kind of plaster they used possibly has much mud, they should have added sharp sand too.
I will suggest you screed like someone is offering already.
Black screed with additive should cover them up.

A Bricklayer just billed me N350 000 for block works from foundation to finish (after lintel) for a room and parlor self contained. What is the better price?

You can refer me to a thread on building a room and parlor self contained here if available

Evening all.

Planning to resume my project

I need a rough estimate to get the following done.

1. Electrical Wiring (Considering going off grid in the next 5 years)
2. Plumbering system

Note:
1. It’s a 4 bedroom with 4 baths
2. Location is Mowe, Ogun State.
3. This estimate is to help me know how much I need to have at hand before I call on electrician and plumber.

My country people and elders in the building
Na my first time to build.... I kept bringing out money so tey i spent way above my budget just to get to lintel phase however please I need an advise for an estimate cost for the decking for a semi detached duplex (4 bedroom each duplex I.e 8 bedroom semi-detached duplex)

The site engr has estimated about #4,226,000 just for the rods (decking) while another engr on the side who is willing to handle has estimated #1,050,000

Brethren to say I am confused is an understatement

I decided to run here and perhaps get professional advice.
Please note that this is the cost for rod alone

Let me break it further how they arrived at the said amount

Site Engr;
70 lengths of 16mm rod @17,000 =#1,190,000
300 lengths of 12mm rod @9,400 =#2,820,000
50 lengths of 8mm rod-@3400 =#170,000
Binding wire = #45000
Total = #4,225,000

*Alternate Engr*

2) *ROD 16M² 25PIECES PER 1? N14,500× 25 = N350,000*

3) *ROD 12M² 60 PIECES PER 1? N9,200 × 60 = N552,000*

4) *ROD 8M² 30 PIECESB PER 1? N4,500 × 30 = N135,000*

6) *BANDING WIRE #20,000*

Total = N1,057,000

Please make una choke mouth for the matter

@Iriruaga100 thanks bro for your input, don't you think it might cost double transportation if I need to buy the 2nd half again?

@saydfact i appreciate, you really stated the fact however I went through profile to check the post but my brother, the mathematics as well the terminology gave me a tough time yet my head no concentrate... as a first timer lol
Bro, what services do you provide? I don't mind to run stuff with you at some stage... the house na gradually gradually... save up & start to at a particular phase... that kind thing


@rotecch77 well done sir, but bro your words too mean o but I received sense by force lol

Nothing to worry about, get a seasoned engineer and you are good.

This is much, it could be due to poor material mixture or workmanship during plastering.
After painting it will still show up.
