Imoy:

Pls ignore that dimwit.

Its only a dimwit dat will not see hw relevant this thread has been.

chikenicholas:
nice and educative post OP

saydfact:


The truth is if we begin to consider these IMPORTANT, then those these article are meant for cannot afford it. If your land is in a developing area, then you can actually build because approval authorities are probably with no access yet to those area.

However if your land is in the city, well developed area then SURVEY PLAN AND APPROVAL could be about or close to 1 million on its own.

This articles considers those buying lands in developing area...

Well said folmus; C of O is not important before building, rather after the building is completed.

I swear, this is probably the dumbest topic i have seen yet on Nairaland. The OP should change his ID to "captain obvious". Even the first point is ridiculous. "Ensure you have a land". As if you would build a house in space. Smh.

Bros, still waiting for d link oo

FIND THE SCHEDULE FOR THE BUILDING ATTACHED.

9'' Blocks = 1000 pcs for foundation (4 courses of blocks)
Cements = 45 - 50 bags was used
Sand = 20 Tonnes (and we still had enough for the septic tank and foundation to fence)
Granite = 20 Tonnes (including septic tank and fence footing)

Main Building.
9'' & 6'' used = 2300 pcs to roof level.

FOR THOSE WHO WANT TO HAVE AN IDEA OF HOW TO PAY THE BRICKLAYER TO SET ALL THE BLOCKS; HERE IS THE HINT YOU NEED.

(Nos of Block X 40naira ) + Transport + Cost of Concrete Works

Since we used about 3500 blocks for this then:

(3500 * 40) + 10K (Trans) + 30K (Concrete works) = 180,000k (block works only)

Now that you have this figure; its not what you should pay; you also need discount so negotiate for about 170k but in the worst case, don't pay more than that or slightly higher say 190-200k (depending on design and unseen factors)

** Note that the calculation above is a guide..... to knowing if you're being charged excess.

REMEMBER TO ASK YOUR QUESTIONS AND ADVICE IF IN DOUBT - YOU CAN ALSO CHALLENGE SO WE ACHIEVE OUR GOAL OF AFFORDABLE HOUSING.

Thanks.

You shouldn't have advised people not to do a survey plan and approval. I wish to know if you are a professional in the building industry and your profession. If you don't produce the survey plan and approve the drawing before construction, it's like postponing the evil day. In that case you will have to pay a penalty when the time comes. If anyone that has hundreds of thousands to start construction of a building should also have money to survey and approve its drawings. It all depends on orientation

You men are doing great work here. Thank you all for the information
