osifred: And sumbody is advising me to save 5million for masters abroad. Money I wil use to build 3 bedroom flat in my hometown Omoku.

iamdhebuck: Very impressed! now this is what I call a MAN..someone who get things done,not some nicompop @ 30 sitting in their moms shop only to 2go from morning to night chasing 14 year old gals or logging in to nairaland and rooting for their favorite thief in government.

uhuns: I join all to say a big kudos to you.
pls given that we may not have followed from the very start.
could you summarize as follows!
the total cost as at today.
minus the fence! store! BQ.Borehole.
the floor area of the House.
this is to get a per square construction cost.
this can be varied from place to place with minimum changes .e.g

ie it cost 120k per m2 for midium sized 3b/ r flat

obayaya: jarus.. congratulations.. completed Nysc in 2007 and you are a landlord in 2013 .. Wow!!! and you're doing your masters.. Wow!!! all from legal sweat!!!

God bless you sir..

hardbody:

Spyder, you had a thread, if i recall about the house you started building about three years ago (same time as me) someweher in enugu state. I was always following that thread (without making a single contribution though). I must confess i picked prices from that your tread when i was negotiating or buying items. To the glory of God i managed (after three years) to complete that duplex. I now want to commence the building of hostels (challets) for students very close to that same house.

How did your house fair, i am certain you have finished it by now.

More blessing bro

Aarenaija:

Please allway do a BoQ.
If the Architect is introducing anything in the course of the project for any reason, it most be with the consent of you the client. Except it will not add any extra to the initial cost.
Generally, if an Architect is supervising your project, you should expect that some changes may occur because he will always be thinking ahead of the owner in terms of what the project will look like at completion.

Jarus:
I actually bought the land just one year after NYSC, and started developing one year after. I was fortunate to have a decent job, plus good parental guidance. Never let this corporate Lagos went into my head, knew teh son of whom I was.

anonimi: Congrats Jarus for the journey so far and sharing the progress all the way.
Why is the shop being built with the house?

maninmood: Nice one Jarus, may God empower you to finish it up to your taste. @ werepeLeri: Must you showcase your stupidity here just cuz you have just a piece of land in Abuja. You now went ahead and criticized your fellow man that builds his in Kwara. What would someone that buys his for 30mil say? Proud fake mofo!

@Jarus: Abeg show us more pictures my broda. Our oga Spyder880 is here

bugmenot:

Great job, Jarus!

About the POP, does the 250k cover labour and materials? Is there POP in all the rooms? BQ inclusive?

werepeLeri: Building a house in Abuja - a four room duplex - with BQ

Cost of land - 8m.

Spent so far. 23m.

Purpose- Elegance and taste all combined in a modest 4 room duplex in a serviced estate. Hmmm -

Jarus- means, the cost of land in Abuja will build two of yours in Kwara. Please take me to Kwara.

Jarus: Dining area....before lighting (that's the latest pic I have on my phone).

voltron:

I am still trying to understand the love for arches within a living area.. i cannot figure it out

Magic Bishop:

badbelle wetin?

Jarus and his ilk are building houses from jaundiced posts for APC and the likes of Ribadu?

Wetin dey this im yeye house for backyard ilorin of all places?

If he like he can buy a house on 5th Avenue that one no concern me or anybody.

Useless generation. You wont even know how them dey use una feed

biting cool:


@maninmood: u insulting @werepeLeri was totally incalled for. What did he say to warrant your show of lack of verbal self control? Its people like you that downgrade NL. Must u throw insults @ d slightest opportunity. I bet u can't afford a plot of land in the bush..don't insult a man 'cos of his light banter with a fellow man #grow up.

ode remo:
Does dat look lyk a completed home, since 2011. If this is FP material
N/l has gone to the dogs, some. Small dogs, men.

spyder880:

You people inspired me a lot to build and finish that house in 2011. Now I am currently building 7 houses in 6 states, ( all houses are owned by nailaland members, anonymous of course) i am now based in PH because I have 3 houses going up there, all of my buildings are online here on nairaland and I always update them. Thanking you guys for making me believe its possible to do good business in Nigeria.
