And also how mush did you spend in total for the Gerard .

I learned it’s now 3900/sqm

What else do I need to buy after buying the total square meters .

Which one is ridges and gutters?
I’m new into this. Pls . help break that down too

Gallybounce:

Hello bro , just came across your thread
I just finished with the parapet and I think you’re right about being at the site with the workers. The parapet guy quoted 45 bags of cements and 45 cutter rods. Believe me, I bought 45 bags and he only used 25 bags for every thing.. I saved 20 bags already. I bought just 30 length of rods and it’ was enough .




That being said, I’m about to do the roofing and I also want to use stone coated shingles like yours.

My carpenter quotation is beyond my power. He justified it with original woods are expensive .

I want u to do me a favor.

Help me write out breakdown of the woods u used.
( my house is almost same thing as yours).

Even if the measurement is not the same, I’ll buy exactly like yours and if it’s not enough , I’ll buy more. I don’t want this people to overcheat me..

Give me the break down of the wood
How many 2by 3
How many 2by4
How many 2by6
How many 3 by 4
how many bags of nails.

Also is it compulsory for the carpenter to go buy it? How can I avoid buying fake woods?



I’ll be going to get it on Monday hopefully ..

And finally, how can I spot the original stone coated gerard? and is it advisable to go buy directly from factory ??


Finally he charged me 200k for roofing..

Pls help ..

Hello how many bags of cement did you use to tile the whole house and how much of other materials too were used?

ojasweb:
After fitting the windows, doors, and burglary, i proceeded with the ceiling for the rooms, toilets, laundry, and the kitchen.

I got 2ft by 2ft ceiling at the rate of 4000 Naira per pack.

I got 30 packs.

I bought wood and nails.

Workmanship was 45,000 Naira.

ojasweb:
After the plastering, i proceeded with the POP work, both the arc, pillars and the white POP.

I bought 40 bags of POP cement. Each bag is 5,500 Naira.

20KG fillers.

Workmanship is per square meters. So total cost of white POP plus the TV stand was 170,000 Naira

For the arc and pillars,

I bought 5 bags of cement and the workmanship was 30,000 Naira.

Each bag of cement was 3,700 Naira.

Please can you help with the measurements of the rooms, sitting rooms, kitchen, veranda and corridor?

How many cartons of tiles did you use for the floors?

redgem:

14 by 14
12 by 12

Private sitting room: 14 by 14
Main sitting room: 16 by 14

Kitchen 14 by 12

Can't remember the rest now.

For tiles, kindly go through the thread. I posted it earlier

redgem:


I have gone through your thread twice ...didn't see the number of cartons you used for ground floor tiles. Please if you can remember the number cartons used for each measurements, I'd be grateful.

ojasweb:


Damn, how i skipped that part surprised me.

I spent about 1.2/1.3 on tiling but can't remember the number of cartons.

austinofo:
Nice thread bro, kudos!

So like this, if I want to build a house like yours there I'd be in possession of a total of about N30M?

Please kindly reply so that I know as my hustles go take be.

Thank you for this thread.

ojasweb:


30M is outrageous.

20M will be enough.

austinofo:


Thank you. Really appreciate.

Does the 20M include acquiring a land?

ojasweb:


Yes, for me.

I bought the land 1.8M

ojasweb:



Hi,
kindly go through the entire thread. I have broken down every thing as far as i could remember during my process.

Don't allow the carpenter to buy it.

Also, where are you located?

Does the 200k cover for both the wood work and shingles installation?

Gallybounce:


My house is almost same as yours I think both in sharp and size . thank you sir.

I’ve just completed the roofing ,
Everything cost me around 3.3m plus or minus .

I spent 840k for woods ( ayin ), nails, chemical for spraying , knapsack , transportation and workmanship ..
I spent 1.9m naira for 390 sqm of stone coated black Milano plus accessories, transportation and workmanship
I spent 460k for the parapet and workmanship ( these guys did a great job ) .

While the roofing was going on , I felt like I wasted money ( spent around 3.3m to roof 3bedroom ( two sitting room) flat). I Thought I shoulda added small change and buy correct lexus ..
But when it completed omo I’m really really satisfied .. as in I love it so so much . So beautiful .


Another downside is that the area is not yet developed to what I’m used to and it looks odd, bush bush everywhere ., but I don do am I don do am. Tbh na force dem force me o grin grin



Once again , thank you and God bless everyone of us . Amen.. Thank you so much for this insight ,
Others will find this your thread more useful in the future.

Which is better and cost effective....making the interlock stones or buying the stones?

ojasweb:


Making is better both quality wise and cost.
