Secondly, from your calculation of moulding blocks versus buying, does it mean it's more costly to mould

It's cheaper to mould block.
Buying saves stress of waiting for a moulded block to cure( harden).

It's all a matter of choice.

Kindly email me in order to get you a detailed quotation with the iron rod calculation inclusive.

Sir, what about the cost of sharp sand to mould the blocks. U only calculated the cost of cement n workmanship. About 60 tonnes of sand will be needed.
Thank u sir.

60 Tonnes will be sufficient.
20 tonnes @ 30,000 X 3= 90,000

sule4:
Thanks a lot, Adebaxton. I didn't see iron bars and pillars in this estimate; do you think there's no need for some.
What part of the country do you cover?

in order to specify if iron bars and pillars will be needed you need to specify the location of the proposed project and soil condition of the site.

South west axis and anywhere in the geographical area in Nigeria. , operating from Ogun State precisely.

100 ft by 120 ft
2 blocks= 3 feet

100 ft X 2= 200 ft
120 ft X 2= 240 ft
440ft/3feet=146.667 X 2blocks =293.33 aprox. 294 blocks per coarse(coach)
294 block X 4 coarses= 1,176 Blocks
1,176 Blocks will be needed for additional 4 coarses ( space for gate is included to serve as breakage allowance)
Soft Sand ; 10 Tonne

I need help with rough estimate for fencing 100×100 dry land.

land of 100 ft by 100 ft= 4 sides X 100ft= 400ft
2 blocks =3 feet
400ft/3feet= 133.33 X 2blocks =266.667 blocks approx. 267 blocks per coarse (coach)
267 X 10 coarses= 2670 blocks - Gate space of 12 Feet and Block Spacing
2670- 12ft( 12/3= 4X2= 8 X 10 coarses=80 blocks
2670-80= 2590 blocks
Roughly 2600 Blocks( Breakage Inclusive)
Buying Vibrated Block
Block of 6 Inchs @ NGN 130 X 2600=338,000

To mould block to save cost
1 bag = 45 nos of 6 inchs
2600/45= 57.778 approx 58 Bags

In as long as it is a bungalow 6 inch block is okay, It can be braced with pillar depending on the topography of the land.

On the other hand if you plan on investing it in real estate, i will suggest you build student hostel(Barrack) closer to tertiary institution.
I have a case study with Mapoly, Fedpoly Ilaro and Unaab. You recoup your investment on an annual basis.

eksammy:
I want to start building my house in Aba by April and the Architect has just submitted this quotation of N850,000 for labour. I'm a junior bank worker..so no much time to supervise.

I am looking for another builder to give me another qoute so I can compare.

Meanwhile I need your opinion my people. Is this quote below fair enough?

I want to be buying the materials myself - is this a smart move?

Any other advise on pros and cons or pitfalls to look out for as I embark on this journey will be greatly appreciated.

With 1.8 Million, You can get the job done without delay.
Kindly forward the architectural and structural drawing

Bldr. Ade

It all depends on your choice of roofing sheet which spans from Galvanized Zinc Roofing Sheet, Long Span Aluminum Roofing Sheet, Stonecoated roofing tiles.

Specify your choice and actual dimension of the structure to be roofed.

You spoke my mind @ Hajji Mufutau

mufutau55:
Ipain, the way it's been done is that since you already have the land and you know the size and there is nothing you can do about that, get the survey plan for the land and send it to an Architect and tell them how many rooms you want, and the Archie will design to fit your land for you.
A 5 Bedroom will surely fit into a 50x100ft, but it will be design for that size... so looking at a 3D drawing is not going to help you. Tell the Archie you want the house to look like the one you posted and it will be adjusted a little to accommodate your design. I hope you understand what I mean.

You also fail to give full detail specifications for the 3D you posted.. may be there are some unnecessary things/space that may be cut out of that design to make it fit perfectly in your already owned land.. You cannot amend your land, but you can amend the building plan.
How can people here say they don't advice a 50x100ft land for a bungalow when people are using half a plot for a bungalow.

The Building Carcass which includes its completion to roofing and plastering will be in the region of 5.5 to 6million NGN.

Is there a prepared building plan for the proposed project ? Dimension of all parts of the proposed features will be needed to ascertain the actual amount needed which may not be up to the projected 5.5m to 6m indicated above.
