[quote author=kalu_j link=topic=606079.msg8411694#msg8411694 date=1306615182]Is this 2700 the total cost of POP with workmanship per square meter? Thanks for your clarification.[/quote]Yes!!!(Materials and workmanship)
That is the best price have got so far!!!!
And I plan to have the man do mine when the
time comes sha!!!!

Also, I forgot!
The same carpenter said he will roof the security house for 5,500!!!
That is the best price I can get for now. Because the main carpenter that
roofed my house is saying he can do it nothing less than 17k.
The one that said 5k5 is the same man that did my gutter roof for me.
Again, the 5k5 if for the wood works o! Excluding the stone coated sheet.
For that, I will have to call the company to come and fix it. I have around 80 square meter
of the stone coated roofing sheet lef
OLUWA IS THE CHAMPION!!!!

Today I paid 3k to the carpenter to do the chain-up of the 1Bedroom BQ(security house)
and to prepair the slap for the casting of the security house private soak-away(6ft by 9ft by 6ft deep)
and, so far Have paid 12k to the bricklayer and Labour for a 3 days work done by them.
The completion of the security house and soak-away pit(the plastering and some other little works they
are yet to complete).

Total: 15k

P.s. Most of my blocks has been exhausted. I Changed 340 6" block to 300 9" blocks
And have used 130 of it for the security house soak-away pit.
Furthermore, all other pending materials to be used have being delivered to the site.
Still have some cement and  around 180 to 200 blocks(6 and 9"

The work is still progressing. I am yet to install the windows!!!!
Peace!!!!

If he feels 4 years term is short for him to fulfill his electioneer promises, let him honorable resign because the term is constitutional. But, he should have complain before contesting, and probably not contested for the position at all.

I tire ooo!!
Seriously, I am very disappointed in GEJ
What a shame!!!
This man has already killed so much hope for tomorrow
with those words(4YEARS is not enough to implement "any change"

@ omobashua1
As in. . . . I just dey kill some brain-cells trying to relate it to "The Real Cost Of Building A Six Bedroom Duplex"  

^^^
I'm actually talking of Lagos o!

spyder880:
In Enugu, we dont raise our floors so high, first because there are no floods in Enugu, secondly the erosion of sand will gradually expose your foundation in a few years if you raise it too high. Actually we dig deeper foundations here because of the fear of soil washing out. Lagos must require a higher floor because of the soil water content and the fear of flooding.

Okay!!! I grab!!!!
But here if you go build low!!!
Years later person go regret am ooo!!!
Because I remember back back in my secondary school days
when I dey trek dey go school like this, during the rainning season
na so you go see people dey bail water comot from compound!!!
because their foundation and compound level dey too low. So
government don fill road and do road so tay their houses don come
dey like say e sink!!!!
Na fun to me because my dad not try that kind mistake!!!!!!

manie:
i disagree with you. The house has 4 units of 3 bedroom flats and 2 units of 2 bedroom flats. That is a total of 6 units of flat.
The Man has done well for him self, we need to consider the fact that he is not in the country. I dont how much he will need before he can let out the house. The guy spent a rough average of about 4 million per flat.
But considering where, i have my house he should be able to make a rental income of almost 3 million Naira.
3 bedrrom flats for 500k, that will five him 2 million Naira, 2 bedroom flats for 350k, that will give him 700k. Total of 2.7million Naira per annum.
Excluding price of land that will give him a price earning ratio about 7.5, i dont think any real estate investor in Nigeria can get a better returns.
PE ratio is what we have to look at in any investment, any thing you spent on your property that can not give you a realistic earning or returns, is just luxury. That is how i view investment.
Some of the things we call investment can even be liability, when we consider pay back period and internal rate of return. My guy Jumyg, i really envy you.
Me sef dey try build a 4 units of 2 bedroom flat, on the space in front of my house. May God grant my desires.

Bros, like what I said earlier
the picture I can see can go for 12m
but depending what it was built with.
if gravel, it is too much for 12m
but if granite and the up storey has got
pillars and chain beam. Then its kind of okay
because the finishing is good for a commercial house.

But again, 3bedroom flat for 500k?
since its a new house, it's not gonna cost like 250k or 300k!
Because of the finishing! Depending the area sha
and their is no way the cost can include land and in a reputable
area and still go for 500k!
To buy a land where 3bedroom flat will cost 500k per year
hold nothing less than 12 to 15m(for land alone). People who enjoy all these
are those who bought it when it was much cheaper!!!
or except you want to tell me the house was built with 5m

spyder880:
A friend of mine building in the same area as me did his one storey house of 4 flats (2 bedrooms each) with N11m and the house is at its final stages. The guy just called me to help him interview prospective tenants and advice on charges. Maybe one day, I will take his house pictures and paste them here. Nothing too spectacular about the house, simple roofing, simple room design but his land was lopsided so he spent money and filled up the foundation with up to 16 trips of sand.

16 trips ke?
My land is table flat! I used over 13 trips of sand to fill it(because the whole house is 2ft above the ground
but the kitchen dinning and stores is almost 3ft above the ground. Now considering the fact that filling sand
sell for 8k5 here so I spent around 200k for the sand and filling).
So 16trip is nothing. if it is slopy, then I gues the house will be same level with the ground.

Somebody here used 1.1m to fill his 4 unit of 2bedroom flat because the land was slopy!!!!
Slope pass slope abeg that is why I always advice we buy table flat land
pictures soonest
Peace!!!

^^^
Well, 12m wey I give na if better person dey build am and If him dey build am for himself!!!
I agree with you! And I am very glad you are the one managing your project!
Well let not make him feel bad
There is nothing like doing it yourself!
Peace!!!

omonuan:
Jummyg:

I have not seen the inside of your house but for 19.5 million, you were ripped-off big time.  19.5m could have built two or three of those.  Check to see if the person supervising your project has built a better house for himself from your money. Currently, I am building a two-story 30 self contained hostel in P/H and 19.5m will almost complete it give or take a couple of million. This includes land.

Sorry ooo but the paint looks like manure or maybe mud.  It is really unfortunate that this happened to you! For 19.5 million you deserve much better.

Well I think we need to first see some pictures of what the house was built with!
Again I don't think you can build 3 of those with 19.5m
12m can build the house I see in the picture.
But again it sure depends. It can even be built for 7m
depending what was used to build it and how it was built!!!
The window I see in the picture for the whole house won't cost more than 350k!
Why? Because some one just did it in my area
About 26 windows and it went for 260k(sliding)
Another point is that after decking some people don't put pillar and
chain-up beam! which make cost of construction cheaper! So I don't know
if that was the case!
Peace!!
Peace!

Hi guy

Just to let you know that the price of cement is going down, i got dangote for N2000 per bag in ikorodu.
i also bought 9" blocks for N130 and 6" for N115, make sure you really bargain before buying; price should fall further next week.

stay blessed.

Blocks sells for 115 6"??
Seriously, that will be only on the condition that blocks molder
are adding more sands than cement to the mix.
This time last year, cements sells for around 1700 and the least
price  I got for 9" blocks was 125(solid blocks). Others were selling
for 130. My lawyer latter too me to one man that sells for 110 for 6"
and 120 for 9" blocks respectively.
It was so cheap to me so I ordered 4000 blocks(6" 3000 and 9" 1000)
the blocks was supplied 6 days laters. After the bricklayers finish standing all
the blocks, I notice I still need additional 120 blocks to complete the fence.
Nobody tell me. I just jejely go buy for the place wey them dey sell 125 per block
I feel no less regrets sha because na fence I use am stand!!!!
Now when I won build my house, I no try find the man go again
because na once beaten twice shy!!!!

If them sell solid blocks for you 115 now wey cement b 2000
how much them go con sell for you when he become 1600 or 1500
I don't need to see those block to tell you that they are not solid!!!!
I confirm that cement now sells for 2000 here in Ikorodu.
But I've also notice that not everywhere yet! People still have the old
cement at hand they bought to be sold @2300. The wise one's heard the
new and are trying to sell off so as to reduce the loss when it later get cheaper
blocks here sells for 140/9" and 130/6"
peace!!!

@kuntash, Spyder880 na bargain master so dont be suprised o.

Rough Projection
Roofing like 1.2m MAX (using Aluminium) - quote me.
Level 1 - 600k
Plumbing/Electrical - 400 - 450k (assuming he's using N6,500 WC and no jacuzzi)
Plastering - 350k (hopefully cement will be 1,200 by then)
Floor finishes (standard tiles, no marble or granite) - 400k
Aluminum Windows/Doors - N500k
others - N250k

It may be more but definitely not more than N1m extra.


@favourite, sink borehole if you have the cash. Its better for you.

hmmmmm
it all depends sha
cos am sure spyder will do better
like he gave an estimate of the roofing to be 800k(since he is not using step tiles aluminum)

A little bit off thread,  Anyone with idea of how much stainless steel rails cost per meter? I need quote for 27.6m balcony and 6.5m staircase. Pls mail me on bosun.dav13s@gmail.com Thanks

I don't! But I believe you want to use it for the balcony of your house?
What I see in your prototype is iron and I think its really very fine!!!
If you need it for your balcony, do it think it will be finer?
Peace

I dey very very happy to see the price of cement crashing like something wey them take sledge hammer hammer!!!

Oshey!!!!

[quote author=kcool_k4 link=topic=606079.msg8392880#msg8392880 date=1306349873]@ Am alone,
Please try as much as possible to ignore some comments some time. I think your problems stem from the fact that you have a very strong character. I used to be like that too. I used to be very controversial. Your point make sense but you "hammer" it too much that people just don't like you for it. I cherish your house and like I said in one of my posts,my brother-in-law spent way more than you for almost the same size. I mean he spent 20+ million. Pls spend it if you have it. I pray to buy at least 1000sqm at Eko Atlantic City too if I have the money. You seem like someone that has answers to every question. Stop that bro and let's us enjoy your beautiful house.[/quote]Thank you sir! -- No wahala!!!
Wetin I go do now besay I go try act dummy!!!
Oshey!!!

Peace!!!

^^^ Very good!!!
Me don plan say if cement no enter 1200 (as them promise me say e go be soonest, I no go plaster my house o!!!)

Ha! Because plastering dey chop cement gon
like 1 bag of cement to 7 headpan of sand(for the outside)
and 1 bag of cement to 10 headpan of sand(for the inside)

@least plastering of the house and fence, and the tiling and all any other thing wey i need do with cement
go take up less than 100 bags of cement!!!
as in 120,000 vs 230,000

350k suppose plaster my house all through both fence and cement!
Peace!!!!
