Wow...good to see the work is going on smoothly. May it be an easy venture through. What will be in the pent floor? I am also continuing work soon on my 3 bedroom bungalow with pent floor in Abuja. Did the foundation to DPC already. Starting block work to upper floor next week and will really like to know the cost to deck the pent floor as per my plans attached. Told I will need about 5,400 9" blocks for the building. Will that be enough? Suggestions please...

Great job brother..please where did u use 12mm rod?

Great job so far! Does the 9m include plastering? Do you mind breaking down the amount spent into stages? Thanks

Well sir, it all depends on the finishing you want. Let use door for example : You know there are local doors, Chinese and original Turkish brand but roughly...

#6,250, 000 to #8,850,000 can get it done... Your drawing and taste in finishing will affect the cost. Thanks

Thanks for the reply, like you said it depends on the finishing. I need a simple 4-bedroom house say between 2.5-3m.That's the range am looking at.

Okay...so it wasn't used at foundation stage. Just bought to be used later? Right? From your experience...should one buy all his iron at once? Even though I will be spacing the foundation and decking over a 12months waiting period?
