Reality Building Of A 2 Bedroom Flat In Akure by isadamu: 7:03am On Sep 04, 2015 |
I'm encouraged to post this on nairaland because this site has been of tremendous assistance to me regarding my building project. Kudos to the gurus on this forum like spyder880, hajji mufutau, fastshipping, kolashangeone, brabus, aventures, etc. This project is a 2 bedroom flat located in Akure. The project took just exactly 3 months to get to where it is. The cost so far is about 1.6 million, excluding the cost of land. I embarked on it to secure the land, given the notorierity of land scams in akure and omo onile wahala. The entire land is about 650m2 and the 2 bedroom covered about 220m2. Pls note that the project was just basic, that is, no German flooring and roofing was Ghana zinc. I couldn't give stage by stage pics because I was not around to supervise the project myself. I only got an experienced, elderly and well known mason to execute the drawing, under the supervision of my mum, who isn't technologically inclined. I negotiated with the mason for all the construction work at a lump sum. I took the pictures when I went for inspection. Here's a rough estimate of the cost so far; 2000 blocks @ 130 - 260,000 110 bags of cement @ 2000 - 220,000 Mason (total cost) - 260,000 Setting out / digging /blinding - 35,000 Soakaway digging - 25,000 Laterite for filling - 15,000 Sand - 48,000 Granite ( lintel/ flooring, etc) - 55,000 Lintel ( iron, wood, etc) - 70,000 Wood (roofing) - 190,000 Roofing sheet@ 14k (9 bundles) - 126,000 Roofing accessories (nails, etc) - 25,000 Roofing labour - 60,000 Burglary - 100,000 Doors - 100,000 3 Likes

Nice work Oga @isadamu I love small cute houses.. Please make sure you use POP for the finishing. Should cost 150k or less. Next time, and for the benefit of those reading this, tell your Baba Bricklayer to make sure that your building is at least one or two feet higher than the road level.. That's a professional advice. 3 Likes |

abouzaid: Wow!!! This is a lovely house what are the rooms size and the sitting room in feet please and if possible you can post the plan. |
Re: Reality Building Of A 2 Bedroom Flat In Akure by isadamu: 1:15pm On Sep 13, 2015 |
abouzaid: The plan is not readily available, as it is in Akure where the project is. I will send it to u by email once I have it. As for I was able to beat the cost, I guess that has to do with the builder of the house (mason), who is a very honest man. He is like the supervisor of the house. Also, I send money to him through my mum, who ensures only items needed are bought. My mum, of course, can't cheat me. 2 Likes |
