Heads will roll and the industry will have a rethink.
heads will surely roll, although the residents have complained severally that the building is a fire hazard to the management of the building without any response.
no functioning fire alarm or water sprinkler.
The only thing I can take from it is that it's not only in nigeria that we have such incompetence. it happens even in developed countries.
we can learn to improve on our emergency response like the UK though.

Wow!!! I had thought the company would have a better quality than what we have in the open market. The proposal they gave me per sqm early in May was N3400 while I got N3200 in the open market and as advertised here for the Shingles.

Pls, let us know if we have something better in terms of pricing and of good quality and dependable. We are looking @ our roofing in another 3 weeks. Lets hope the house can help with useful information too. Thanks

Sir you mean Tilcor gave you a proposal of 3,400 naira in May this year

Attached are the quotes from Tilcor as received. I have scanned both in jpeg and pdf.
Of course I have taken out my name off that proposal. Was on the 26th May 2017.
Had to take out some other information so as not to breach any laws; including regulations on this hallowed chamber sad sad sad

I will appreciate any better proposal as I have not concluded with them. I have barely a month to roof covering

what type of Roof--?

Watch your materials
check the price of cement
if they are selling for N2500
If you have not mold your block
ask if you can get the cements for N2400 and buy 150 bags
You have to do your leg walk to get the best prices for materials
Make sure that people don't steal your materials

You better go for it if you have the money. First Aluminum .055mm thickness is N3,518 per Sqm as of last week. The excuse before everything NA dollar go Up, now what is the excuse, when the dollar as came down. Things remain high? Same thing with cables
The last ones I bought 16mm about 4 months ago was N52k now N84k how can one justify that.

Lol...u can't achieve roofing with 2m. Since u just need a simple bungalow, maybe if well managed u can get to the building height with the 2m. Without roofing ooo, i think that is the highest 2m can go for a 3 bedroom bungalow.

You can do the foundation and use the remainder of the money to raise a room or two, move in and continue with the rest as and when funds are available.

My 2 cents.

Do foundation for 3 bedroom & raise one room on it?
I think it will be better if he can reduce it to a mini flat, from foundation. When money comes, he can build sth bigger, even more than 3 bedroom.

If you are tech savvy I would recommend that you start with SketchUp and then meet with a young architect with a brief to polish your design in order to meet standards.

I would build a box of say 50 by 30, partition two bedrooms and a bathroom for now living you with an immense living room which will be partitioned in the future.

Good luck. Get started but with a plan - you can't afford to hire book people, i.e. certificated bosses, for this one grin

. I want to assume that price is both material+workmanship. Nonetheless you can still beat the price down some measures of garri.
