My 3 Bedroom Bungalow At Shimawa by Joshcoli(m): 8:05pm On Apr 12, 2019 |
Ok, I want to share with you guys the progress of my building. First and foremost I'm in the category of low income earners. I earn a little above 100k and for the progress so far, it all boils down to planning and focus. I bought the land from Adron home for N1,275,000 and paid additional fees of N950,000. So far so good these payment took me like two and half years After being allocated the land I started buy materials gradually. So I will list them as much as I can remember - 1000 9 inches block @155 - 155,000 - 30 tons of granite - 145,000 - 20 tons of sharp sand - 55,000 - Setting out, digging of foundation, laying of block to DPC level - 130,000 (Depending on your negotiating power) please engage the service of a competent engineer and do direct labour 7 Likes |

Joshcoli:Nice, God would see you through. Please, can you specify the state or city that the project is located? I'm planning a similar project in Niger state. Can you post the floor plan? |
Re: My 3 Bedroom Bungalow At Shimawa by Joshcoli(m): 8:34pm On Apr 12, 2019 |
Ok, I paid someone 20k to evacuate all the dugged sand from the soakaway into the building and also paid about 58,000 to put pillers. These 58k covers 11 piller plus the front 3 pillers, the irons, cement, water, labour and also the carpentry work

God will help u. As you have planned and begun, you will certainly finish it. But, u didn't include bags of cement bought for the project so far. We would also relish the pleasure of seeing the floorplan. Well done. 2 Likes |
Re: My 3 Bedroom Bungalow At Shimawa by Joshcoli(m): 9:26am On Apr 13, 2019 |
Tammynator: Ok, many thanks I forgot to mention bags of cement used So far I've used 47 bags of cement Dangote which then was 2,550 per bag. It has gone up to 2,650 per bag now Another thing I want prospective builders to note is that, engineers makes things very difficult for builders because they know you wont be on ground to monitor their work. My little advice is if you can get someone trustworthy to be on site to monitor the work and pay like 3k, it will be very worth it... But those crazy engineers can even buy them over sef...

Brief analysis of money spent today, I already bought 30 tons of granite (145,000) which was used for the blinding and casting of the pillars. The 20 tons of sand is remaining small so I added another 20 tons of sharp sand (55,000). carpentry is 12,000, renting of Gen plus pipe 5,000 German floor casting 60,000. 40 bags of dangote cement 104,000 Total cost 55,000 + 5,000 + 12,000 + 60,000 + 104,000 Total = 236,000 1 Like |

Believe me some engineers are devil expecially these my engineers ... Because I decided to be on site the increase the cement mixture ratio just for the sake of wickedness. After these German floor is done I'm changing him ASAP

Re: My 3 Bedroom Bungalow At Shimawa by Rubbiish(m): 4:41pm On Apr 13, 2019 |
Joshcoli:Before u change him, ensure he didn't make changes to the floor plan, if he did, tell him to effect it on the plan, so another engineer can continue from the German floor 1 Like |

Re: My 3 Bedroom Bungalow At Shimawa by Joshcoli(m): 8:27pm On Apr 13, 2019 |
Even at 42 bags of cement the job was not done though remaining small From my calculation, if the engineer had used half bag of cement for the mixture, it would have being more than enough but my presence made him to waste cement. He used half and quarter, that is almost one bag for the mixture, I called my friend who is a builder and he told me the engineer is wasting cement because of my presence. It was later corrected after he has already used 32 bags of cement, if not I would have being using about 70 bags of cement to caste a German floor because the idiot was already requesting for additional 20 bags Just imagine

erico2k2: Just for the German floor alone, I even forgot the plumbing work... 23,000 materials and workmanship From my little experience... You can't escape the fiery hands of an engineer. I think it's better you cooperate with them and give them what they want Just beg them to have mercy on you |
Re: My 3 Bedroom Bungalow At Shimawa by erico2k2(m): 8:39pm On Apr 13, 2019 |
Joshcoli:Not true, You need to know what you want, ie your mix ratio and stick to it, agree on a price with them and stick to that too. Be on the ground as well very important. |

Nice one boss, I bought mine from Adron as well (West Park Garden, Ibadan) and by God's grace next month I would be allocated and I want to start my project immediately. Please keep updating about everything most especially the cost and I wouldn't mind if you can also connect me to a good engineer if you can find one. |
