Depends on whether land is swampy or dry.

1m - 2m

Not different from anywhere.

Ferdinandu:
I did my 5 bedroom foundation to DPC level in the East at a cost of about 700k. All these guys calling millions for you, either they don't know what they
are saying or they are building contractors inflating cost in anticipation.

This is the most realistic estimate I have seen here. I agree with this.

To give a better insight, further estimates will do well to include estimated number of blocks to be used, cement, rods and labour cost and estimated number of days.

The cost might depend on a lot of factors, but for a conventional Eastern lateritic/clayey soil, #1.5m should be enough.

But op, u can have a better architectural design na. This design is tacky.

Ma 1kobo.

Congrats all the same.

...

Greeting op,u can't get an exact of what u want in this forum.kindly visit the east where the building is proposed and get in touch with good engr.most soil type in the east vary a lot and u won't get a true insight until u meet someone in practice in the said area.talking with experience coz I am from the east and I have been into construction practice for quite sometime now.soil type in the east vary a lot and to get the optimum result u have to make ur estimate based on the soil type.wish u Goodluck bro.cheers.

Budget 900k I am a civil engineer based in imo state, for more discussion email me on nobosconstruction@gmail.com or call 08035425917

Engineers don plenty pass advisers.. The young man go don confuse sef!!

It baffles me when some people quote prices on nairaland. They will just quote the money as if there is no tomorrow.

I always tell anybody that want to build that always buy your materials yourself, then call the labour and negotiate yourself.

Where most labours and other building consultants eat people's money is through materials and Labour quotation. what will cost #500k on a normal ground will be increased by 200% when they are quoting for prices and labour.

It is very rampant here on nairaland. yes, I know we have to feed our family and make our daily bread but if we continue in this direction do we think people will be encourage to build?

Make sure u are always around when they are working on your site or put it in hand of a trusted friend or brother that will help you monitor it effectively.

Where u are to spend 200 naira, u Will just discovered that u are spending 1000 naira cos of over quotation.

just to do foundation people are already quoting millions when they are yet to know the type of soil the op is building. swamp or hard soil.

I can give you accurate BEME for the project, but it's professional, not free.


We design and building.

Very interesting, am planning to start mine in village bcs I am done with city own, so with 900k I can do sth out of sth,

Budget 1.5million naira. My sister spent about 1million on hers last year, because she didn't buy sand for filling the foundation and plank for the work. If you re-use the excavated sand from the foundation and that that of septic pit, you will save some money. You will save more money when you mould your block yourself.

Jamesbiodun:
the floor plan is not good, op kindly redesign, ur sitting room kitchen and dinning, it's very bad....
I have calculated the cost for foundation,
Digging foundation: 40000
1120 block for foundation : 134400
cement: 48000
bricklayers and labour : 40000
Total : 262,400...

but d price can go down in ur area, here in idiroko cement is 2400 and u r going to use 20 bags of cement, block is 120 and u r going to use 1120 blocks, that's d estimate, it can't pass d price I give u, am a site engineer and supervisor

Appreciate your input. Please what's wrong with the sitting room? Is it because of the wall separating the dining from the lounge?

Hmmm

Ok

First I most comment on the design..
It's not functional.. The dinning supposed to have d direct connecting door with the kitchen.. And again the lobby will be very dark wen their is no artificial lightening.. That's error..

Estimate..
A partion of foundation trench = 1000 x 40 =40,000
Level and compact of the trench = (2mason men 4000 X 2) = 8,000
2 Trips of sharp sand = 20,000
2 Trips of Stone 50,000
25 bags of cement @2,500 each = 62,500
Casting of the foundation 1000per bag X 25 =25,000
Labour = 15,000
Transportation =Depending on the distance
A total of #230,000 will be enough to construct a good foundation..


Then if u looking forward to rise it above substructure

1200blocks @150 each 1200 X 150 = 180,000
15 bags of cement 15 X 2500 = 37,500
Reinforced bar = 20x2300 = 46000
2trips of sand 20000
Labour = 75,000
Supervision =30,000
Total of 390,000

Yes, the wall, just put an arc there, the ante room too, light travel 6000mm, the lobby will be dark unless you on gen or u ve a reliable electricity, kitchen escape root is bad also, N a scenario u want to pound yam with mortar, it will disturb ppl in d sitting room... d design suppose to be from ante room to sitting room, on a normal circumstances u dnt need an ante room coz to my definition d land is small, it should have been entrance porch and u can have ur visitors toilet

Nice one

mikeoh:


U are correct total blocks used on my foundation was 1200

thank you

I'm a civil engr in portharcourt which is closer to the east a building like this from foundation to DPC level will cost you 1.7m on a great standard.

It going to cost you 1.5m to 1.7m at a standard rate base on experience. I'm a civil engineer in port harcourt which is closer to any part of east

what about water, sand and gravel?

Hello, Pls work on your plan.. so you enjoy your house.. Opening to the main lounge from the dining.. and also your kitchen through your dining.. I can help you work on it free of Charge sir. Just minor corrections!

Dmanlex:
wat abt roofing of d 4bed room Wats d estimate

you will budget like N600k, plus nails, transport, carpentry. Note it can higher depend on the kind of roofing sheet you are using.

some criteria that determine the accuracy of the quantity of woods you needed to roof this dimensional building project.

1. You need to make decision on the type of roofing sheet you want to use because the purlin spacing we use for long span roofing sheet is different from that of stepped tiles, though metecopo and stepped tiles purlin spacing are the same, and stone tiles or stone coated roofing sheets purlin spacing is different from all of them.

For instance long span purlin spacing is about 2.5ft to 3ft depend on instruction giving to carpenters.

Stepped and metecopo spacing is approximately 18 inches wish is 1 ft and 6 inches purlin spacing.

Stone coated or Stone tiles is approximately 14 inches purlin spacing which is 1ft and 2inches.

Meaning the purlins wood quantity for stone coated is more than stepped tiles and metecopo, and that of stepped tiles and metcopo is more than longspan and asbestos roofing sheets.

Having stated all this, if you are using stones coated and you get quote for long span hardwood, it will not work because you will need more woods for your purlin and additional work force.

Though all the woods for tie beam, rafters, strut or bracing and wall plate remain the same.

2. Another area which is critical is whatever you are using slate for your ceiling noggin covering or pop or PVC.

For instance if you are using slate though this is getting outdated now, the ceiling noggin spacing is 4ft by 4ft, but the standard for pop and pvc is 2ft by 4ft, but some pop designers insist on 2ft by 2ft which translate to the fact that if your contractor construct your ceiling noggin spacing using 2ft by 4ft, the pop designers can reject or condemn it which will translate in other opinion that the contractor have done a bad job for you and that can cause misunderstanding btw you and your contractor because the ceiling noggin will need to later be convert to 2ft by 2ft spacing.

But the fact remain that the standard for both pop and pvc ceiling covering is 2ft by 4ft ceiling noggin spacing, because the binding wire they use to hook or hang this pop is not connected with ceiling noggin, it is actually hook or hang to the tie beam, because it is the tie beam that will carry the weight of the pop, only the yawn, the white thread materials is connect with the ceiling noggin, i'm saying all this base on experience.

3. Another important point is whether you have a parapet or not. If you have a parapet, you won't need facial board for your over hang extension design because the parapet will replace the facial board, and the additional 2 inches by 2 inches by 12 ft (2x2x12) woods for the outside noggin won't be needed but if you don't have a parapet then you will need some facial board and additional 2x2x12 woods for the outside noggin over hang extension construction.

4. The height of your roof too added to the quantity of woods that will be needed, if you are considering 12 ft before getting the quote and after getting the quote or the contractor have been awarded, you now decide that the height of your roof should be 16 ft you need to know there will be need for more woods, so this 4 points matters a lot in getting accurate quote for your roofing project

Answering all this question and making a decision will be needed to give you an accurate quote because they are very essential.

Eyah! sorry how did dat affect you, you can come to my site in Idiroko if u want to doubt me... I didn't spoil work for you, the op didn't give anyone contract he ask for an advice, I think you said you are a civil engineer, when you give ur client crazy bill dey will leave, dats y most client give job to ordinary bricklayer and draftman... am an architect so susupu
