pardon?

what?

Sunnynwa:
Not true bro, not true.

pardon me for asking, but are you not sunnybobo?

mufutau55:
It will be good to see thw analysis of how this building costs 7.3m. Where is the location of this building sir.

Hajji M.

have you noticed the current rush of cheaper costed homes recently and my argument that you can build a four bedroom bungalow with 2.5million naira by careful design and selection of building materials?

erico2k2:
Plz has anyone built 4 bedroom bungalow with N6M on here?land exclusive, we wanna hear from you

amalone(oluwa champion), sunnybobo(sunnynwa).

premiere:
Ameen. Thanks. Location is Ifo, Ogun state.

you didn't buy stones for lintels and foundation? how many blocks did you get at the end of the day? this thread would be a reference thread so please keep the updates coming.

mufutau55:
Thank you very much.. the explanation is well understood.

Hajji M.

please can you post the beautiful PVC ceiling you used in your men's quarters for the op to see

thugusher:
Sorry i meant how much in total to date, i know you said you've spent N2.5M to roofing level. What about other costs like fencing, plumbing, burglary proof, wiring, windows, doors, sanitary wares, kitchen furniture e.tc.

By Gods grace i will be commencing building my bungalow next month. So i want an honest opinion from someone who has built a home not some few haters/clowns on here that quote ridiculous amounts. By the way what left for you to do on the house. God bless

you would benefit a lot from pasting your floor plan online here and receive real advice from serious minded people. Godspeed in your project.

Chukazu:
Don't think it was less than it be..i couldn't supervise alot due to my engagement, infact I would have saved more money if I did more supervision. Will find out from the builder but as I said.. If you want to save cost, do more of "direct labour"

offcourse, it's not less than necessary, it's appropriate, I'm trying to say that many builders build very high foundation walls which results in high amount of laterite sands been needed for filling, you also cut cost by going for a reasonable roofing height which enables you to cut down on quantity of wood. the size of the house is also very reasonable with reasonably sized rooms. i hope you can finish this house with 3m or less. you can cut cost further more by using PVC (plastic) ceiling in the living and dining rooms while fibre cement (previously called asbestos) can be used for the other rooms. tiles only in the living and dining rooms etc. what's the size of your soakaway pit?

Chukazu:
And you more

nwanna, ekenedilichukwu na isi gi,please can you remember how many layers of blocks you made in the foundation before German floor, i think that's part of what saved you so much money.

whirlwind7:
Apart from aesthetics, is there a practical reason for such high roofs?
I'm aware that in temperate regions where there is a lot of snow, high roofs are recommended so that snow doesn't get to pile up on the roof, and cause damages.
In a tropical climate like Nigeria, does high roof serve a purpose, please?

i consider it as been mostly aesthetics, little ventilation effect since most roofs nowadays don't have ventilation holes on the roof eaves where the hot air from the roof can escape from.

and finally this thread died without making it to the front-page, all those said change changers would receive the same treatment.

Greetings to my property experts, owners and enthusiasts!



I discovered crack in a window frame, I was furious, went round the newly built bungalow, and found another same type in the opposite end of the building. I became extra mad! I summoned the mason and architect. but before they arrived days later, I was shocked to discover same cracks in many houses, shops and schools in the same neighborhood. in fact 65%, both new and old bungalows. the area is in jos, and hard clay soils throughout. even a school managed by expertiates nearby, had its crack from window to floor to window in opposite ends!

I could have asked in your threads, but opened this so more people can learn and share, thanks for understanding.

WHAT ARE THE LIKELY CAUSES?
and there any future consequences and corrective adjustments?

what was the depth of the foundation? this problem is common in the north especially around abuja,niger and nassarawa. you need to realise that most soils will experience serious settlement that will lead to cracks if the foundation depth is 2 feet or less while most soils will not experience such cracks if the foundation is 3 (1m) or more, i have forgotten at what depth no movements is expected but i can check it up later. a soil with a very high clay content is therefore safest if the foundation depth is at least 1m and the foundation wall made of 9inches blocks to spread the weight better (a larger foundation wall spreads the weight over a larger area thereby reducing pressure and potential settlement). i don't think the cracks would collapse the house but keep an eye on it as more settlement might occur as the house is only a year old.

why is this not on the front-page? Aisha rice at work?

My problem with us young people is that we tell ourselves lies

I traveled from makurdi to ogoja to calabar during this christmas and the fedral roads were an eyesore, I have traveled from lagos through ondo to makurdi again in this new year and the roads were horrible I was opportune to go to the east and most federal roads are in a sorry state, can you please tell me which infrastructure you are talking about?

Given the fact that oil prices were at its peak, can you please tell me what you think of the shameful scam that dasuki is spewing isn't it shameful from anenih to dokpesi to metuh couldn't that money be used to fix those roads?

You may not like buhari but he is miles ahead of your jonathan

you conveniently forgot that buhari and obasanjo also gained from the dasuki share the money promo

Tos87:

drss2:
i wonder o!

is anybody surprised that this is not yet on the front-page? Aisha rice at work.

Tos87:
Merry Christmas to you too.. thanks for featuring my last and completed blender project for the year. Am honored though it didn't reach its expectation. well, am happy I did it.
I really hope that year 2016 will fetch smiles for us.
Merry Christmas to you all... blender3d heads and gurus.

have you ever considered working with like minded people to produce a short one level only video game as a proof of concept? I'm willing to learn just to partake in it with you.

Lobeez:
Actually, Lai Mohammed and Buratai should have just kept mute. Since the local media kept mute on this, CNN is now reporting it. Shame!!

now that it has been exposed by CNN, you would soon see it on the front-page and channels tv. the Christmas day attack is still not yet reported by 99% of these media houses.

[quote author=Qc1 post=36507467][/quote]please can i have the floor plan for this your mansion? you can just do a screen capture or snap it with your your phone.

tunex23:
Lai Mohammed have been the most vibrant Minister so far

you mean the most vibrant noise maker? an information minister that doesn't know the meaning of a fiber optic network or an object oriented programming language. he's just a Fulani propagandist to a Fulani president.

chosen04:

^^^^^^^Back in July...

CBN bans importation of cement...

the cbn stopped selling forex to cement importers not banning them. call evil by it's name, if this report is true then i see more millionaires and billionaires sponsoring an armed arm of massob in addition to individual contributions. ibeto suffered a stroke under obj for this same issue and every Nigerian is enjoying the present free in the prices of cement, would you like to see cement selling at #2000 again?

if i talk now they would ban me again but one i know for sure is that at this rate, naira must sell for atleast #300 to a dollar by next year end. those moderators banning me, how much do you spend now buying things online compared to what you spend before may29? you guys should have a rethink of your banning policy. i have never insulted anybody here so why do you keep banning me for been pro biafra? we're your customers o, if you drive us away, lai Mohammed won't invite you to his next meeting with bloggers.

is it strange that i don't like these designs? why on earth would i want transparent glass as my bedroom walls? most of pictures looks like well polished 3d designs rather than real life pictures.

That "screeding" is one big scam for the uninformed!
