Congrats Jarus. How far? Building completed? And what is the total expenses? |
Re: Jarus CountryHome - A Journal by Jarus(m): 6:28pm On Oct 18, 2012 |
jamace: Congrats Jarus.Nope. Set it aside for few months now. Close to 5m spent already. Plan to throw another 2-3m into it by November/December by God's grace and bring it to habitable stage. Then complete the finishing touches by next year by God's grace. |

Are people still using Contractors to build houses? Those jack of all trades can frustrate the hell out of your live. I thank God my mother is still alive and kicking, when i was building my house at Obantoko, Abeokuta. I entail the services of a building contractor. The guy milked me dry. Always asking when am going to send next payment without trying to send pictorial update on project to me. Sometimes he will complain about the increasing cost of cement. I called my mother to complain. Men, this Iyalojas bad, my mother kicked his a.z.z out of the place and finished the project with less than 70% of what the dude gave on the bill of quantity. Building contractors are mostly hustlers 5 Likes |

Threw another 3m into this thing December/January and the money sink like garri in water. Now, 7.6m spent to date. To think when I set out I budgeted 2.5 to 3m for the whole stuff. Tiles and POP in progress. Tiles cost 400k, POP about 400k too I had to change my initial contractor over a dispute. The 3m was my last card. Looking like it will wait for another 3 months. But basically, everything has completed. I did a shop and gatehouse. I have abandoned the BQ for now. 3 Likes

Jarus, well done! It is not easy. |

Have you done the Electricals and the Plumbering works? |
Re: Jarus CountryHome - A Journal by Jarus(m): 7:19pm On Jan 11, 2013 |
Sure, the electrical works have been done, before the platering. Plumbing works have also been done. 1 Like

Oga Jarus, happy new year. please you are supposed to be encouraging us like bros Spyder o; not scaring us. I was truly scared on reading the line about N3m and it being soaked like garri!!!!! please don't scare others trying to do like you o. I've similar and i know how it is but help us use encouraging words. enjoy your day. pics of the pop/tiles would be appreciated |
Re: Jarus CountryHome - A Journal by Jarus(m): 2:53pm On Jan 14, 2013 |
peaceland: Oga Jarus, I agree. If someone told me 7.6m (which I have spent to date) wont finish it, I may not have started in the first place. I started, thinking 3m will do it. But here I am, 7.6m gone, and still not looking like it wont it 10m. But scope and taste changed from the original plan. But just start, even with 500k. I started with 1m. 1 Like |

Congrats,i am impressed with the details of the gothic columns..the rectangular one at the centre and the semi-circular ones at the ends..The pseudo-interlocking claddings at the corners of the house look good but they should,ve been more careful in the craftmanship. Someone asked to know the thickness of the aluminium sheets..Ignorance of things like that will make your builders cheat you..learn the use of callipers and always have it handy,it might be very useful..same applies to things like your windows..i mean the thickness of the glass,tempered glass or double glazing..it,ll save you money. Pls make sure you put gutters around the edge of the roof,most builders ignore this very important feature,otherwise rain water will damage a lot of things on your nice house,unchecked dripping water down the sides of the house from the roof can cause you serious damp problem.it can soak the rendered,blocks and plastered walls and peel off your beautiful paints...dont ignore that,its very important Congrats... 1 Like |

Thanks. Unfortunately, I don't know jack about all those technical things. All I know is I'm building a house and sending money. All these thickness, weight, column etc, I hardly know. 1 Like |

Oga Jarus, I think you've been fleeced big time!! From the pictures I'm looking, you should not have spent more than 6 million on that house. We've almost completed a 5 bedroom duplex in Akesan area in Lagos and we spent 3.4 from lintel level where it was originally to roofing inclusive of plastering, decking, plumbing, electric wiring, fencing, gate etc. However we bought cement and made our own blocks. What we did was we bought the materials ourselves, hired the labor ourselves and paid a foreman to oversee them. The foreman would tell us what we need, we would go to the market to buy them and store it in a locked shed and release materials as needed. If we include the cost of land, foundation, omo onile fees and building up to lintel level, our expenses to date is just over 9 million. A caveat though, we did not use aluminium roofing. I forgot the name its called. 1 Like |
Re: Jarus CountryHome - A Journal by Jarus(m): 8:23pm On Mar 12, 2013 |
Not impossible, but doubt I have been significantly fleeced by as much as 2m. Some things to note. German floor is said to be used (and that alone cost up to 0.7m) Aluminium roofing was 650k, plus 300 to do the carpentary, roofing alone comes to almost 1m There is a BQ at the back, up to lintel level - it's a twin-semi detached mini flat. Almost as big as main building itself. Of course, the costs of gate and fence, which have been done, are also inclusive. There is a shop and a gatehouse too (though still in progress, next is plastering them). |

maninmood: You are right. I said it may total 8m in that 2011 post. It's now circa 8m, and still a miles away from totally finishing. |

The builder too must eat now,and Jarus does not have the luxury of time to research the cost of building materials. I personally buy my building materials, the only one I do not buy is the electrical materials and appliances. Getting skilled builders from Togo, Ghana and Benin republic can also reduce cost of building. All the same congrats to Jarus, when will you start building your Lagos house? |
