PropertiesRe: The Real Cost Of Building A Six Bedroom Duplex by AmAlone: 4:03pm On Feb 18, 2011
I tried my best today to take and upload the photos
but seem my fone is not cannot send the photos to my lappy.
I will try tomorrow sha with some other phone.

This are the other things I forgot to put in my last emails

Rama(people that hit the sand on the foundation after the filling
before the german floor): N16,000.00
Water to wet the floor before rama: N10,000 (5 trips note that my well has not enough water that was why i couldn't use it)
People that fetch water for the german floor and the cost of drums to store the water in N4,500.00)
I have paid the Electrician to start the electrical works
and he is presently on it now
the total cost for the pipe the the electrical box and a/c pipes(note 7 a/c)
and labour is: N86,200 (labour was N28,000)
I really feel cheated on this eletrical thing sha

Once again sorry I couldn't get the photos

spyder880:
@ Am alone, welcome on board, great account you are giving. Your house is big and the toilets are very big. But some of your costs are high IMO, like the sand @8500 peer trip and you still get to do the packing with N1750? And how are they selling cement N1800 in Lagos where we think its lower?
Nice account sha, looking foward to seeing your house pictures.
The N8,500 per trip(ten ton) is for the filling sand
that was the best I could get it,

Futhermore I forgot some other things
I will bring them later and also, I will upload some photos today grin

Many people tried digging borehole in that area
but its not working. So i didn't bother to try
Well: N95,000 (including all 10 rings)

Presently I have bought a total of:
250 bags of cement @ different rates
First 100bags @ N1730 per bag: N173,000(free transport)
Second 100bags @ N1820 per bag: N182000(including transport @ N20 per bag)

70ton of granite @ N300,000.00
12mm rod: N108,000.00(including rings and binding wires & transport)
Carpenter workmanship from the soak-away to the foundation to the
german floor to the lintel  to the pillars to the arc in and 4 round pillars: N45,000

Iron bender work manship: N22,000 ( from foundation to soak-away to lintel to pillars)
cost of digging foundation: N16,000
Cost of German floor workmanship: N78,000( including their rice and pure water)
cost of digging the soak way & packing: N45,000( initially we agreed on 35,000 but the ground was too hard
nobody want to dig again, I had to add an extra 10k  shocked)
The foundation is 4 coach high minus the 9 inches solid foundation casting
so I bought a total of 13 tippers of sand to fill the foundation,
Cost per tipper of filling sand: N8,500.00 per tipper cost of packing each tipper N1,700.00
Cost of packing the well sand to fill the foundation N3,500. Total of filling:  136,100.00
Cost of bricklayer from foundation to lintel to rounfing level, to soak-away N280,000.00

before the roofing. I will send you pictures when that is done for your reference

I bought blocks different rate:
3,500 blocks 9 inches @ N133 per block: N465500
1,000 blocks 6 inches @ 124 per block: N124,000
Total 589,500
I didn't use 6 inches at all for the house,
6 inches will be used for the fence and was used for the small soak-away
Later bought extra 300 blocks @ 140 per block: N42,000
Total cash spent on block: 631,500.00

TOTAL: N2,596,700
NET TOTAL: N4,448,700
AND I THANK GOOD GOD ALMIGHTY!!!

So You See, It Is A Very Big House
The bungalow has a total of 14 Pillars
And to tell you fact, 2.5m
is enough to even roof your bungalow
But it surely depends on your taste!!!!
I am using the best materials I can get for
bungalow,  I am following all recommended
procedures as well.
If you choose to use cements like Diamond
& use gravel instead of granite
& use 6 inches blocks
If you decide not to do any german floor

The prize will surely come down
so please do cut your coat according to your cloth
so we can all see less uncompleted building
AND THANK GOD
I will post you some pictures soonest
and keep you all updated

With your 3500 blocks, 1.2m will take you to lintel level(thouht it depends)
If you dont want to do german floor it will help you complete the lintel
am sure that is the best it will do.

Liar!!!
And why're some of y'all insisting vat the guy r.aped her?
which sane man will ra.pe and impregnate a woman and then threaten to sue her if she aborts the b.astard baby, huh?
[b]My Opinion,


You brought all vis upon y'self, You taught you could console vat nerd by letting
him 'in' and the fact vat you've got no man in your life at vat given instant doesn't
give you the right to jump at the first dangling manliness vat finds ya fanciable, your gf maltreating
vat so-called  r.apist or her changing bfs like wrappers is none of ya business, cos in her shoes i'm sure
y'wud do worse. You do owe your gf an apology. angry

[quote author=deli.cious link=topic=590089.msg7576160#msg7576160 date=1295618286]You don't repay debts with gifts.
You repay debts with the initial loan taken plus interest as the case may be.

Verdict: He should pay her back her money.
If she had to ask for it again,even after the car gift -means she has needs for it.

Different strokes, different folks. Some wives would never ask for it back though. They would just borrow double the amount back from him.  tongue[/quote]What are u sayin? This is a family matter; not a case of you  versus ur bank or you and ur lanre

interest kor bush mean ni grin grin grin grin
