What has location got to do with cost of building a house when you are not buying land?

agarawu23:
blv that guy at your own risk

agarawu23:
[s][/s] marbles and granite are different from tiles.

Don't change or twist your previous post.
You said tiles and we all know tiles aren't the same with marbles.

4nobody4every1:
Spot on and true, l dont fancy duplex, well, maybe it boils down to individual differences and choice

EgunMogaji:


For sure, personal taste is supreme.

But we should use the current Lekki Gardens disaster as an example where one cannot cut absolutely any corner when doing an elevated decking and this costs money.

Soup wey sweet, na money cook am

Believe fire. The dude does not know we have a school here on nairaland where we learn from the best of the best hands like spyder88 and skimanki et al. Do you see many uncompleted buildings around? Part of the cause could be from someone like the dude who hike prices and by the time owners realise it, money done finish for bank and crisis from other angles might have set in to further spoil things. humans?

lol

I will commit suicide if that tiles worth 3.8m and I don't care where it was imported from.

Nobody can even scare me with cost of building cos I can happily park in to my uncompleted building in as much it has been roofed and doors are present.

If I get 10k today I plaster small till I finish it to my taste.

It will surprise U that majority of houses we see weren't tastefully finished before packing in o.
If you have stable income and you want to escape landlord palava, u can live your uncompleted building.

A lot of ppl who are hoping to come and learn here will be scared to build when people are telling the op 6.5m can't build him bungalow while tiles of a small sitting room cost 3.8m excluding labour

Dieumerci:

Sir,
Pls find out the cost of labour (masonry) in ipaja lagos and compare it to lekki and portharcourt.

Find out the cost of delivering a 30 tons granite to Ibara Abeokuta and compare it to delivering same to Ajah lagos or better still Onitsha.

Find out the cost of hardwood in Benin Edo state and compare it to lagos.

Do these and you'll have more answers to your question.

Sunnynwa:


Are you dyslexic?

There are various types of tiles;

Granite tiles
Marble tiles
Wooden tiles
Ceramic tiles
PVC tiles
Stone tiles
Etc.

What are you on about?

EgunMogaji:


Go to this thread to read all about it https://www.nairaland.com/2712462/making-low-budget-5-bedroom

But if I may ask, why a duplex? The foundation pillars and decking of a duplex is expensive. A sprawling bungalow on two plots is ideal for Nigeria. IMHO.

agarawu23:
baba

I will rada use marbles than to spend 3.8m on tiles for this small parlor.

Don't give me that cost of labour crap. If your project is ongoing daily, you can bring in labour from wherever you want as long as you provide them accommodation either on site or off site.

While comparing the cost of hardwood in Benin to Lagos, also compare the cost of toilet and bathroom fittings as well as tiles and plumbing materials between he two cities.

I don't like bungalows

erico2k2:

Guy leave this location of labour cost thing,Im building in PH, the vast labour force came from my town in Delta,however I just realize the labour in PH is cheaper than Sapele,a town.
ie I portion of excavation of foundation ( 1 mtr deep,0.5 mtr wide and 1 mtr long in PH was N500 while in sapele and warri it was N700.
The cost of building materials are almost same.The primary material for building is cement and its N1500 to site as at today %99 of site in Nigeria.

SycophanticGoat:


I don't have experience in building but based on info from my Civil Engr friend, this your money can't build beyond a 2 bedroom bungalow, painting and other finishing not inclusive.. Except you want to cut corners and build a house that will collapse on the bricklayers and other people building the house.

stevLegend:
It's all about strategies & logic. 6.5m is & @ desame time, not a big amount. But with a gud contractor, hardworkin labourers, & devoted hands, it can build u somtin gud. Provided u already have d land. I built to this extent with 7.3m so far.

ADAMUdaCOWBOY:

Your friend is not right

SycophanticGoat:



I guess it's cuz he'd attach his personal charges to it..
