Hahaha, I am looking at your build practice and laughing real hard here. Sir was a Structural design done for this building? Do you even understand the kind of soil you are dealing with here, what is the BC if I may ask because why will you do such a foundation for this kind of land, I'm disappointed bro Architects should stick to drawing and shouldn't be constructing without an engineer on site. Anyways that's between you and your client and when the wall cracks begins im two years time.
Thanks for ur input sir, if you understands building designs/construction very well, you'll know before now that a structural drawings isn't required for bungalow design except for high rise buildings. A structural drawings is only required when your designs have a suspended floor which maybe 1-deck, 2-deck, 3-deck etc.... Also, to ascertain the type of foundation to use on any project, there's what is called Soil Test which can be carried out on site and a structual drawings doesn't provide such details... Thanks

Meanwhile, We've modified just the design into a 4-bedroom bungalow with exact exterior look. We had requests from some person's that have been following our thread to make modifications as a 4bedroom will be their preferred choice on starting up their building project...

Price for the design still remains thesame, Thanks...

Good evening boss. Please what's your opinion on getting architectural drawings from Mr A. and giving it to Mr B. to build according to exact specifications?
It's not a bad idea provided you trust the person handling the construction project...

What type of roofing is that?
High pitched / Hip roof

U mean u built this with #12m?
The 12m quoted is just for the 3-bedroom bungalow only and doesn't include fencing and concrete stamping on the floor....
That said, it could go higher depending on the quality of materials you want to use for the building and ur taste....

Most times, it's finishing that eats up the chunk of money in building construction... So let's say for example:

If I'm using allumuin roofing, I'll incure more cost than if I'm using stone coated roofing..

Again, if I'm doing pre cast concrete fascia,(parapet) I'll incure more cost than if I'm doing cast-in-situ..

Again, there are varieties of tiles that are cheaper and costlier than others... Same goes for windows, doors, pop as against pvc, screeding as against not screeding, electrical fittings etc...

So you can see that at the end of it,

Mr A can convinietly build this with 12m, while

Mr B who likes luxury and taste will end up spending 18-20m in building same bungalow...

That was why i stated in the first quote that it Depends

I don't know where you live and how much land costs. All these added up will not be as high as the value of the land you will waste if you do a five bedroom with masters as bungalow.

When you factor in the fact that half plot of land is about 10-15ml, you will know what is what
I can design a 5-bedroom bungalow to fit in thesame sqm a 4-bedroom will cover... There are some 4-bed designs that'll cover more sqm than even a 5-bedroom... It's all about space management in the design...

For instance, a 3-bedroom bungalow can fit into a 50ft × 100ft plot size, so also a 4-bedroom would fit into same plot size and a 5-bedroom bungalow design....

when you factor in the area surface of the land which it will consume. Land which you can use to build something else, you will realize it's better to build up. The cost difference will be very marginal
Smiles...

Like i stated earlier they ain't even mate in terms of cost implication as a duplex will cost way higher...

Now let's analyze..

1.) For a bungalow you only need 12mm rods for the wall pillars as it doesn't entails you doing a base

While,

For a duplex you'll need a 16mm rods which cost is almost times two of 12mm rods..

2.) A bungalow doesn't require internal wall pillars as all you'll be needing is just surrounding wall pillars

While

For a duplex you'll have to introduce internal wall pillars which is also done with 16mm

3.) You don't need a foundation base for a bungalow

While

For a duplex you must introduce a foundation base on every pillar points in the building

4.) You don't need to deck a bungalow

While

A duplex requires decking on which amount spent for just decking alone can take up a bungalow building from foundation to roof stage in most cases

5.) While doing lintel for a bungalow, it's not necessary you chain the internal walls

While

For a duplex it's necessary you do chain round beam on both the external and internal walls because of the decking(load coming ontop it)

6.) For a bungalow you're only doing plastering, tiling, screeding, painting etc... on just the ground floor

While

For a duplex you'll have to do plastering, tiling, screeding, painting etc... on both the ground and first floor...

So you can see that the cost implication for a duplex is way higher.. I can even go on and on analyzing...
