Hi all, does anyone know how much it'll cost to fence 1.5 plots around Dangote refinery in Lagos? A breakdown (analysis) of the total cost would be appreciated. Thank you.

Good day house. Hope you are all well. I need your advise please. I visited my building for the first time since the work started (building is now nearly completed - roofing and plastering already done, but thank God floor tiling not already done yet). Despite the fact that paid for an approved building plan, the builders still got most of the internal measurements wrong! I am just baffled and completely speechless! How difficult is it to read the measurements in a plan and follow it! I wonder whether some of these building artisans can actually read and write! The worst of it all is the master bedrooms in the downstairs flats. Believe me that I am not exaggerating that you will struggle to put in a double bed (forget a king size) and you won't have any room left for even a small dressing table, and the space they demarcated for wardrobe is only wide enough for a single wardrobe. I mean this is meant to be the master bedroom for the Mr and Mrs, and you can only squeeze in a single wardrobe! Anyway, to cut a long story short, I am thinking of breaking one side of the wall (the one demarcating the room from the corridor) and extend it out a bit.
For some reason, the stupid people made the corridor as wide as a football field at the expense of the room, so there is space to extend the wall out). My big question is that (too cut down on costs) can I use plaster board partition, like they use in the UK, US etc, for the new internal wall, which is just one side), instead of blocks. Or is this something they do not use/do in Nigeria? Thank you.

Can you tell me like how much it will cost here first... You can do a breakdown when I contact you through your email address.

segzy14:


Ok, i will give an estimated cost.
Is the land waterlogged?

segzy14:


The estimated cost is 1.2M naira.
Note: I estimated 8courses of blocks after blinding, i used blocks all through as stated that it is dry land.

This was a quote I got to fence a corner piece of a plot land measuring 643sqm in sangotedo,the quote doesn’t include block work just the raft foundation of the fence,does it make sense,it’s a waterlogged area

Get a professional to handle this job for you, don't patronise baba sule, the difference is not much.
No woods in that estimate.

This is what a 4 board panel looks like. I did it for a client some years back.
You're probably going to do it round your land and only leave out the section for gate.
You can choose to buy the materials and also bargain less for the workmanship.

kopell:
Bros when you say 4 board panel, those that means 4ft Hight in total from the ground water level, 2ft below ground level and 2ft from the ground level.

bixton:


The 4 board panel starts from the base of the blinding of the foundation trench.

kopell:
Thanks, that picture don't really looks like the area is real waterlog. Its better to be safe than sorry later sha.

bixton:


The land originally was waterlogged but sand filled over time.That fence was done around august and at 12" depth you'll experience water. The reason for that particular height is different though.

If you look at the far end where you see those zinc along the fence line, is this uploaded pix. Due to the purpose for which that part of the land will be put to use, its access is from the box culvert and all to be sand filled afterwards.

kopell:
Interesting, this last picture really shows us the water level. Sand filled over time, how long does it take to get rid of the water after sand filing. Was the last picture a gutter that you were building to get access to the land or is it part of the fence raft?

bixton:


The pix is a natural canal. We had to do a box culvert/drainage rather than wait for the government since the client needs to access the land from that section. The raft fence I earlier uploaded is just to demarcate the land. The existing fence where you have those zinc is sitting on a 3 board panel raft and the land is about 4 plots.

kopell:
Clearly understood now. I think it would be better if you can attach a link that will show us the entire project for layman like us to really understand how you guys deal with waterlogged lands.

2cicily:
Pls what's d advantages and disadvantages of a roof top water tank.
I intend to place Gp tank untop of kitchen deck due to space constraints.

ThatHistoryGuy:


Just make sure the Pillers holding the kitchen top is designed strong enough to hold the water tank to avoid stories .

However,you will be needing tiles,wc and sanitary wares soon.Pls when you do forget me not cus that's my own hustle .

Hapinew month
