I love it! Atleast one of it for the main entrance will do!
Peace

Security Door is not a necessity, if you like, use them if you don't leave them.
To protect your house, you can always use burglary gate for the entrance of you
house. 16mm will do! And once you have got burglary on your windows too, I can
assure you that you can be save as heaven!!!!!

Security doors are okay, but where the problem is
is when the key get spoiled. You will have to break
down the door o! Bros!
Peace 2u all

the right side-back
just want y'all too see

All,
Thanks for all your contributions so far. I think i have learnt alot from this thread and thanks to Am alone for providing me with some of the contacts for welders and the likes.

Having followed this thread for a while now, I felt i shld share some pics of my house project as well. I have spent about 11M on this project (direct building purchases) since it started in May 2010. Pls note that the cost qouted here excludes the land cost, omonile and the Governors consent cost. The project is located just after Lakowe/Otunla towns, after Mayfair Gardens in Ajah area of Ibeju Lekki LGA in Lagos. Even though the project as built now is a 4 bed room Burgalow (all ensuite) with laundary room, dinning room, guest waiting area (presit), study room (of a normal room size), family lounge and an utility area. In terms of size, the project of the size of a 2 nos standard 3 B/room size.

As part of my finishing works, I'm presently working on getting my security doors (all Turkey/Polish doors and no China), Sanitary wares (which should be all original Twyford wares for 5 tiolets and 4 bathroom), POP for (my guest waiting area, my main sitting room, kitchen and dinning), tiling (spanish tiles for the floors and some china tiles for my kitchen and bathroom walls), Burgalary for the windows and landscaping (interloacking tiles) etc which i m estamating that it will gulp another 4 million or there a about.

What i think has contributed to the cost so far is that i paid professional service charges to my Engineer who has done most of the supervision since i'm not always available on workings days in the week, then my labour charge has been a bit on the high side and no way compared to what Am Alone and the likes have paid so for their labour. We have tried to ensure that labours, carpenters, bricklayers etc come from outside Lagos and Ajah to keep cost down but i dont think that has worked.

Just to get some comments from house members on the project so far .

having problems posting pics, will post soon.

having problems posting pics, will post soon.

Mike I will love to see the picture of your house oo
if you are having problems posting the pictures,
try using 'paint' to reduce their sizes and
try posting it again!!!
Oshey!!!!

I just cant wait to see this 11m Naira bungalow, Pls post the pics now now

@spyder880, I am about to start up six bedroom duplex in imo state and the idea is to use NON-HOLLOW BLOCK at the down floor and hollow block at the upper floor. whats ya advice.


pls note that its not the blocks that carry the load but the columns and beams, you can still use hollow blocks to start a 10 story building without any problem, just make sure that you pillars, and beams are well sized for the load. just my own little contribution, Im not a builder though but I have supervised some buildings of mine and they have turned out well

This one is not far fetch!!!
the landlord claim the bungalow cost him 15m in 2006    

Re: Cost Of Building A Three Bedroom Bungalow In Nigeria
« #40 on: December 11, 2009, 05:20 PM »

Guy it depends on what materials you intend to use. You can uild one for as low as 3 - 4 M and you can still build one for as much as 50M depending on what you want. The one I've posted here cost about 15M in 2006.  It is a 4 bedroom bungalow with 1 bedroom BQ. The cost includes the building and the fence as well as the landscaping (including interlocking pavements) and the underground as well as overhead tanks. All rooms are ensuite.

High quality materials were used. For instance, a set of WC used there cost 33,000 naira while a china WC then cost 4,500 naira. PVC ceiling was used in all the rooms while fire proof and water resistant suspended ceiling was used for the parlour. The roofing sheet is 0.5mm gauge from Tower aluminium. which is actually an industrial guage as most people use 0.25mm. Granite marble was used for the entire floors. Interlocking pavement stones were fixed at 1,800 naira per square meters and covered an area of 643 sq m.

The windows were fixed by Tower Aluminium at the cost of 670,000 naira.

The irony of it all is that the house is in the villa and is only occupied during festive periods like the forthcoming christmas. Grin Enjoy the pics

more!!!!
@least this one will calm some of us down!!!!

I no mean say make you go carry your money dey dash
some thief all in the name of expensive house oo
depending on the quality of materials, use, a house can cost
from as low as 1m to infinity

Another person quote:

a friend used 1.8million for 3bedroom flat in Enugu,though the land is his so did not buy and did not use aluminium sheet.

this is another house by Kem4
it a 3bedroom bungalow in 2009
and he said it cost him a little over 5.4million

Yeah, its a big house and really i must confess i did not until we got to this stage as i did not really appreciate it on the plan. For example there are 40 windows (all casement) in the house. As i said earlier it about the size of 2 nos standard 3 b/room flats.

The roof is not aluminium.Its called Onduline roofing sheet ( imported from France).It is made of Bitumen. It was recommended to me by Engineer as he has used it over the years for some of his Clients.

last set for now

@ Mike
if you keep spending like this
you make spend up to 6million to finish that house o
so you better shine your eyes oooo
because I see to security house in that money
the cost of omonile is not there
government concert too
I know the cost of construction is AJAH side of Lagos is
very high compared to some other part of Lagos
Anyways, peace too you!
Also, when did you intend to buy your security doors?
I am going to do the pricing tomorrow, then I will go
back on Thursday to buy them!

I love your windows.
It looks very original! And solid!
peace!

I still have some roofing sheet left to complete my security house!

I suggest you price them tomorrow, go out to another market/area and price it again on thursday, come back to the previous market and conclude prices, then buy on Friday/Saturday.

@Mikedeoye, The roofing sheet looks like painted ZINC. Any particular reason why you chose it over longspan aluminium for example? Is it cheaper/costlier?

spyder880:

True talk
But I am a bit too busy to do that twice.
I don't think I can spare 2 days
to do the pricing
Again going to the place where I will be
buying the doors, is like traveling out of Lagos -
its far. I will just act very smart!
My number one priority is quality
like there was a door I saw at a street after my
street @ my site. It looks original, but the door
has already started to rust even though the owners
have not occupied the house. I just took a picture
of the brand name, and that one is out for good!
Peace!!!

Thanks, i know and  i m really trying to curtail cost now but at same time not comprimise quality too much. I m directly involved in Buying of all my finishin now. I have my Governor's consent already and all omonile fees (those are already taken care of). I m not planning a security house for now.
I have made some enquiries on the Security doors and i'm already closing in on one company already for the supplies. We can compare notes when u come back from your maket survey in mushin tomorrow. What i have so far is taht an average  3ft Turkey security door is around 31k.
