Thanks for your information... Do you sample pictures of a beautiful 3 bedroom bungalows with all en-suite- toilets, store and dinning... I have a plan in head but i do not know how to put it in paper.
Can you help me with the number of blocks required to build a 3 bedroom house all ensuite with all materials required and in quantity

rovert:
For sake of this post, let me make the following brief:
1. Standard rooms - 4x3.6 metres
2. 1 sitting room 4x3 metres (including dining area)
3. Each room is en-suite
4. Each room has a wardrobe
5. Guest toilet
6. Entrance 1.2x1.2 metres
7. Kitchen 2.4x2.4 metres
8. Good foundation of 1m depth
9. Strip of 0.675 metres width
10. Strip concrete of 0.675 x 0.225 metre
11. 6-inch block from strip foundation (good machine vibrated sandcrete blocks)
12. Oversite concrete 0.15 metre thick (except you don't want to classify it as part of the foundation
13. At least 4-6 columns at the edges of the building

Will get back with a preliminary cost; also, if you post your email, I'd send you what I call a layman's bill of engineering measurement & evaluation (BoQ).

Thanks so much for giving me those measurements but you left one out which is the size of the sitting room. Lastly from all the measurement, can you kindly tell me how many blocks i would be needing to erect such a house to completion level?

Sorry sir but am confuse with the density things you are talking about... We don't take look of all that when buying a land in my country. We only buy a land where there is no stagnant water and is level even when it rains cats and dogs.

My land size is 15 by 30...

I am trying to build a 3 bedroom, kitchen, dinning, and store. As i put it at the start, i draw a rough paper by measuiring my own house as 4.5m by 5m with my bathroom measuring 1.8m.

My mom house the same with a bathroom too

Mt sisters house will be 4.5m sqare with no bathroom

I want to be advice whether this is good or big alot that is all

lomomike:
In planning urban centres, contrary to what lot of people believes, there's no 1 single standard size for plot of land, lands are subdivided based on density/income level.
In most parts of Nigeria, the division for residential plots are
1. Low income earners/high density zone is 300 sqmtrs,

2. Medium income earners/medium density zone: 600sqmtrs,

High income earners/Low density zone: 1,000-1,500 sqmtrs.
However, this rules varies base on density. In high density areas such as Lagos, don't be surprise to find the piece of land divided smaller.
That said, I'll advice you visit a town planner and ask him the following questions (they're very important).

1. What are the various sizes of plots being subdivided in Gambia with respect to density?

2. What's the space standards for rooms in Gambia?

To your plot size,Your plot is 15mx30m which is 450sqmtrs, in Nigeria, that is still a low income earner plot or some places with high density will classify it as a medium density zone plot division.

lomomike:
Did you buy from urban/land authority or resellers?
Where are you located?

The land is 30 meters length by 15 meters


width

lomomike:
Bro, stop that cutting of corners, boycotting of professionals. Give the job to professionals to design and determine the sizes of each partition of that house plan based on plot size.

In meters i said
