Thank you, I will be expecting to hear from you when you are ready and we can come into Owerri and build your house. As for the cost, it will be easier to calculate with the house plans. Have you drawn the plans for the house? I suggest you buy the land before drawing the plans.

NO, not really. I am just completing the Mens' Quarter. The Duplex is like 1/4 completed..

I showed one picture of the project somewhere on this thread.. I will find it and post a link to it.
Thanks.

and the Duplex in front of it..

Oga Spyder pls what do you think about the use of hardwood flooring in place of reinforced concrete decking? I notice a lot of houses in Europe, US etc use wooden floors unlike what we do in Nigeria. Do you think we can do something similar?

I have thought about this a lot and even did some research on this. But the problem is the perception of our people when they think that every floor must be concrete to survive the tropics. I know of lots of colonial buildings here in Enugu done with wooden deck and I still frequent those offices and nothing dey happen.

But before we think of wooden floors, we must remember that there are special woods for the floors. Another problem is that the engineers in our government approval process might never approve a building plan prepared with wooden floors.

Thank God Its Friday

spyder880: We can start and complete this house for those whole love the looks for N5M, everything is involved, till painting is done, 4 bedrooms all en suit, large sitting room and good spaces, give us a call and the house will be ready in 60 days flat!

This is really interesting!

Pls do you know the cost per sqm for this laminate wooden floor? picture attached

Spyder, I think at some point you will have to come to Lekki in Lagos to come and plant some of the beautiful designs you showcased in this thread. I'm sure that your prospective clients would pay the added premium on top of the price you
are quoting for the eastern axis because we all know that Lagos is more expensive in terms of labour and living costs.
The other thing is that you will have to factor the cost of raft foundation to the price you are quoting for the chosen design because there's no way to avoid raft foundation in Lekki.

I will be in Lagos when the time is ripe, thats why I wanted to start in PH to get a near Lagos experience. Thank you for the suggestion bro.

We will have a welcoming party waiting for you at the Airport.. or even if you decide to take "Ekene Dili Chukwu" luxury buses we shall always be waiting too..

BTW.. Are those "Ekene Dili Chukwu" luxury buses still in existence? I remembered them many years ago.

If things work out and you come out to Ibadan then you will build my house there too.

omobrit:
Hi,

I have been reading your posts for quite a while and just had to register.

How much will it cost to build one of the bungalows in your posts (pic below) in ikorodu? But instead of normal roof, I would like a roof top garden with patio and a jacuzzi. Also with time of completion (hoping to get this done in time for xmas).

PS: I also have some floor plans i draw out that i can send to your email if its ok with you.

Thanks

I salute your idea and this is what I'm planning too.

To live in the tropics with our beautiful weather and be all cuddled up on the inside is sacrilege. Weather be damned I am doing a flat roof.

chinosxl:


Thanks alot. I searched Nairaland for hrs but the above thread never came up. Was kind of worried at first. I even went on Youtube just to watch videos of U.S toilet installation. I'm glad its possible in Naija. Can't wait to get my project started.

Oga ChinoSXL, can I park a 20 footer in your yard and slowly fill it up with building materials? How much will you ship the container? Do you sell containers?

Hello Spyder,

I've been following you work for sometime now. I'm really impressed with your work and I've learnt a number of things. Keep up the good work.

I just need some clarification, the amount you quote for this building and others, is it just the blockwork and riffing or everything including tiling, windows, doors, light fittings, paint...etc

Weldone once again, God bless your hustle.

Yes the concept was for a full finish with everything, just bring in your box of clothes and stock the freezer and you are living in the completed house. But the prices quoted are for long ago, if you identity a plan, I will give you a quote for everything, starting from the foundation till roofing first.

CityNG:

I like this, do you mean to remove the dining walls and extend the space to allow more air?

Mondisweets:

A shower could be fitted there but no bath tub. I am trying to fit 4 bedrooms with 4 toilets in a plot space of 50 x 100. Anyway we are still testing the plans and you guys are doing good pointing out the flaws, I will tell my architect to keep working on more plans.

spyder880:

Yes.

I love open floor plans and is a pet peeve of mine.

The kitchen is the heart of the house and it shouldn't be in a cave.

That being said, open floor plans require the choicest of kitchen hardware and furniture. Stainless steel ovens, grills, fridge, etc
