Its Simple, Just Ask Your Carpenter
You can get it along shagamu road or inside Owutu-Ishawo(Agric)
Or you go to the nearest sawmill around you and just ask for that!!!
Hope this helps!!!

@ IM ALONE,2.75M2/Bag of cement pls and not 2.75bags/m2

YES BOSS!!!
You Absolutely Right!!!

^^^^
Bros the total square meter of my german floor is around 220m2
And I used 80 bags of cement
it is 3 inch thick.

That is 2.75 bags of cement was used per square meter!!!!

Brabus said he used 120 bags of cement and his house is just almost
the size of mine. But he's was 4" Thick!!!! So I guess my estimate will be
close to his I guess!!!

oluwa champion!!!!

Please whats the price of cement now?

Can anyone tell me where I can get cement for #1750?
Because I want to start plastering my house o

Peace!!!

Price of Cement in Ikorodu is 1850 @ best!!!!

^^
Bros furthermore, note if you are building a commercial house
the price will be extremely low!!!

^
Okay! 20 rooms bungalow, 10 rooms bungalow, 100 rooms bungalow
Please specify so that ppl can help!!!!
Again, I've not build in abj. so i give only Lagos price.

But lets say its a standard 4bedroom bungalow with rooms size of 12 by 12 and a moderate kitchen.

For a standard one in Lagos, 7m will finish it. Including fence gate, the flooring of the compound, tiles
pop in the living room, and aluminum roof. But all still depends on your taste sha.

The for an advance one,
In Lagos, bros budget 12 m to 15 sha(it can still be above o)!!!! Then you can have gutter roof if you like, the kind of my roofing
quality finishing, marbled floor and interlocking compound. Pop in every square foot of your house. and quality kitchen and bathroom accessories. Security doors all through the house, Deluxe paint for the finishing, nice plasma   Large securiy house, generator house
a lovely garden, around 7 a/c and big big beds - lol!!!!

^^^
Bros, but things around lekki dey dey more expensive o! From the cost of blocks to cement
to labour. And if it is water logged, I think you may need like 400k to 500k extra 
Yes o. Depending on the level of the water sha. If you are to cast like 1 or 2 feet high all round the plot
it will take lots of money. Put if the water is just in some areas, then like 100k or 150k more.
Anyways, the above quotation may be useless sha all depending on the topography of the land.
At the same time, it may realate gon!!!

ekinmogun:
Am Alone, ps am new to this thread. Have you fenced your project? If yes, can you give me an idea of the cost of fencing a land in lekki 2 with the following dimensions. One side of 40.5 already fenced. The unfenced side is 40.7m while front and back measure 25m each. Thanks

Bros first I don't know if your land is water logged o!!!
I just added up the total length of your unfenced land and it is equal to a full plot of land.
As in the unfenced part of your land is, 40.5m + 25m + 25m = 90.5m
While a standard plot of land of 60 by 120 is: 36m + 36m + 18m + 18m = 108m
Now let me start with the cost of fencing my land with is the 108m

I paid a total of 60k to complete the fence.
The digging and casting was 23k
Like 2400 blocks were used(because of the height) @ 130 of 6" = 320,000 (Price estimate. Since I mixed it with 9" block)
Then the mounting of the gate I paid 3k5(give away price).
The casting of the gate, i did it together with some other works sha. and paid 6k. or so. The other works were more than
the casting of the pillars o.
Lastly like 30 or 35bags were used. @ 2300(now cement don fall wella sha
Total: 478,500.
Granite and Sand not included as they were in small quantity. Like half tipper of sand and few granites sha.

brabus:
Thank you spyder880 and many thanks to caseymoney for the pic updates. I cannot imagine what life will be without internet and you guys.

Today, block setting continues, I think we'll continue to do it like this till my link is restored.

Another goodnews is that I've gotten approval to share the cost of building with the house. Many thanks to my client for affording us the opportunity.

Cost updates to follow soon

Now you fit count me put!!!
You know na. As I dey enjoy the pictures and your jist, I want to dey digest them all with the cost!!!
Bros I go tackle you well well o!!!! But I go still keep your thread clean
But bros abeg make you try to give us every every involved. So that we all fit learn indeed wetin e dey
take to build house. So when we take your estimate,spyder own and the others we go fit get a clear picture!!!!
Okay? Peace!!!!

That's Clean!!!!

The new one!!!!
I am telling you this because, I want you to know
that you may find out that you are spending more
and people will think you are throwing away money
but the truth may be because of the size of your project.
They may all be 4flat. But size matters. Again since its going
to be a commercial house, this things wont matter. Because
3bedroom go still be 3bedroom - lol!!!

@Felix
Check out this drawing sent to me by the architect.
I rejected it because It is going to be more expensive to build
and since it won't carry a name more than 4flat, why pay more?
So i explain to him want i would prefer, then he sent me something new
Peace

Felixv:
@Am alone,
i just realized that you are building a 4 bedroom bungalow in ikorodu,so the topology would be quite different,i am about to start building mine in badore and its a story building comprising 4 (3 bedroom flats) ,which needs a raft foundation including german floor,the height being proposed is 4inches.it would be nice if my guy can meet up with you with the plans for advice.my mail is jamesb_lawson@yahoo.com

send me a mail so i can send you details, thanks for your help, and good luck,

nb, your house looks really nice,

felix

Hahahahahaahah!!!! Bros no vex, I am too busy for that oo!!!
Sha I want to build a 4flat just like the one you mentioned. Though
I won't be needing a raft foundation. Supposing I've started it, I would have being
able to give you a clear picture. But bros, I want to advice you very very well.
One thing I've really learn on this thread is when building(expecially a commercial house)
you must try as much as possible to kick off irrelevant stuffs. My budget for this 4flat
is low. I want to do it with standard material(not inferior ones o). And again, the
place I'm really gonna spend money on will be only the foundation, pillars and decking. Because they
are the most important things of any house.
peace!!!!

My german floor used 80 bags of cement @ 1820 per bag = 145,600
2tippers of sharp sand. Dredging oo. The black sand is cheaper @ 24k each = 48k
Labour 73k The machine that mix and cast it. And it was 3inch thick.(if its going upstair, it need to be atleast 4" thick sha)
20 ton of grante @ around 80k
People that fetch the water from wel took 3k including cost of renting the drums were the water was stored.
Planks were used to guide the german floor were around 14pieces @ 750 per one then and transport like 2k5(i bought more than this sha)
Again I bought about 150 tons of laterite each 8k5 and it was packed for 1k7 each. Totaling: 153k
This was so because of the height of my foundation. And again the height of the kitchen and others.
The carpentwer wor shouldn't be more than 3k to guided the foundation. depending sha. Mine was like 6k. I must confess I paid 2much for that one.
Very few nails and you are set to go
Totaling: 439,600

Bros note that this is a private house. And because of the size. But if you like you may decide to use more sand and stones and less cement to save cost. Up to you sha(i no advice)!!! But for a commercial house, you may not spend this much. Again note my foundation took 1000 blocks. And that is to tell you that its very big. The foundation of 2block of 3bedroom flat will take just 1200. So i guess mine will be close!!!!!
Peace!!!
