My brother, all the 3 bedroom flat no be the same category o! grin

Some have so much special passages, balconies and extra large rooms as to consume more materials. I cannot fully comment on the quantities till we know the coverage area. However the N65k charge should be dropped to about N40k or less for only a 3 bedroom wiring on conduit.

Thanks spyder880, i will ask him to drop the service charge as advised. Aside the quantities, are the prices ok for each item as quoted?

I have already bought most of the paints to be used inside this house. My spending for paints stands at N85k but I think I will spend up to N220k before it will get to the taste I want, here are some of the paints I bought last week.

Now, for some updates on the finishing of this house, here are a few pictures

We have been experimenting with all kinds of designs and styles for the sake of adding a special look on this house.
I personally designed this one to see how it will look on my wall edge, just being creative cheesy

Re: The Real Cost Of Building A 6 Bedroom Duplex (reloaded) by spyder880(m): 5:11am On Jan 17, 2013

I wonder why you are fixing lights before painting the walls.

blink182: I wonder why you are fixing lights before painting the walls.

The ideal thing is to paint the walls before fixing the lights, but since my painter is indisposed at the moment, we decided to fix two rooms ready for use. I will personally mask the lights with tape and old newspapers as we start painting next week, na my house na, I cannot allow any lapses cheesy

Makes a lot of sense. I was beginning to wonder.

Since you are in a state with heavy construction, I want to ask what those cranes at building sites are used for.

That large building being built close to me has no crane on site, they simply build pillars, deck and build more pillars, presently, they are on the 2nd floor and each floor height is like 2.5 normal floors.

Construction cranes are mainly used as a supply vehicle to get materials and sometimes personnel to the points in the project they are needed with minimum delays. Many construction cranes are positioned to have access to the top of the building project, that is the area where mixed concrete, metal bars and other heavy materials will be used.

Thanks for the reply. What will you consider a fair workmanship price for painting this type of you house which is similar in size to what i am doing. Like 60K? or 80K?

They are the ratio of sand to cement to granite mixture for your slab. depending on how much stronger you want your slab to be. Note; kindly follow the ratio specification on your plan as advised by the professional.

For light blindings, and Strip Floors with less traffic the below specs are required;
C7 = 1:3:8 ( 1 bucket of cement : 3 bucket of sand : 8 bucket of granite)
c10 = 1:4:6 or 1:3:6 or 1:4:5


For Foundation Slads and First/Floor Slabs, wall slabs/pillas drive ways pavings. the below specs are required.
c15 = 1:3:5
c20 = 1:3:4 or 1:3:3
c25 = 1:2:4

For Drainage Slabs, retaining walls fencing post and areas with usuall heavy traffic. the below specs are required.
c30 = 1:2:3
c35 = 1:1.5:3

Thanks. Architect Jude

Most people choose building materials wothout doing enough research. Aesthetics is good but there are other key factors to consider. I usually shake my head when i see pvc ceilings in residential buildings. Go find out its flaws
Re: The Real Cost Of Building A 6 Bedroom Duplex (reloaded) by waleolu7(m): 5:23pm On Jan 23, 2013
Thanks Architect Jude. But what does he mean by the concrete specification?
Re: The Real Cost Of Building A 6 Bedroom Duplex (reloaded) by GeorgeD1(m): 5:24pm On Jan 23, 2013
doctorgold,

just curious.
