lol..I remember i once pointed this 'hidden fraud' to you but you waived it aside. 100% of all the trucks used in ogun state and oyo state(except for construction companies) can Not carry 30tons. Max most of them do is 23 or leas sef.

Yea, I remember that was in 2013 when the guys at Stoneworks supplied me some granite in Ondo. I never waived it aside. That singular transaction informed our decision to own our truck. I was taken by surprise at the quantity supplied and the amount paid. Now that I have a truck, I'm even more surprised. grin

God punish hypocrisy of our suppliers!

Here is the polystyrene concrete fascia done on a renovated duplex.
perimeter of the house = 120m
cost of polystyrene per linear meters from poly industry in Abuja = N3950/m, ( 120 x 3950) = N474,000
cost of transportation = N65,000
cost of fixing = N96,000
cost of binding wire, black pipe and 10mm bar as nominal reinforcement

Nice. Lesser weight on structure.

This your remote monitoring without static Ip,
Where can one get the skill in Nigeria.

You don't need any static ip bro. Get a very skillful network engineer with good NAT-ting Routing and Port forwarding skills and also have a good knowledge of Dynamic DNS. It's not so complicated.

And you have to be sure your ISP is not blocking some ports.

This is construction class sha.

Even residential projects do incorporate structured cabling and networking (cabled, wireless and IP networks) into their projects enabling their guys to work from home.

I can count a number of estates we did back then in Osborne (NAMTL, Eleanora, Monique Water Gardens, etc)

But what do we have now, estates just spring up without features just because we have GSM and the funny CUGs. How can that ever replace VoIP that connects you to your office network?

Infact, I laugh when I see some of the electrical drawings we have this days.

Baba lastpage, nice one!

I think you're still in line and you're discussing an area of my core competence. It's still part of building construction.

Structured cabling and networking is a standard thing in most corporate projects, low-rise and high-rise MDUs/MTUs, apartments, malls and other public buildings.

@twinskenny,

I'll suggest you look towards that direction. Na your boys go dey handle residentials walahi!

Oga NL1960,

Building on public forum like Nairaland is like appointing Oliseh as the Head Coach of super eagles and having 170m Nigerians as the technical advisers.

Based on my experience on this platform, I discovered most time that this approach always benefits the ‘interfering’ parties' ego and not the client. Clearly other people (technical advisers) jumping in are also trying to help, but the jumbled mess of multi-voiced opinions is the reserve of the football terrace not a place of learning. One voice, one direction is the spirit of the game.

The quickest way to encapsulate this is, how many people taught you maths at any one time?

So I see it as fun when we are doing our thing. I mean the same thing that makes super eagle what it is today. The Gej-must-go thingy, Bubu-is-slow, nigeria-is-worse, it's-possible, it's impracticable... That's what makes us a Nigerian in the first place.

So I don't blame those guys who don't bother to come here to showcase their projects. Trying to listen to everybody leads to paralysis of analysis.

My humble opinion.

Experts in the house,
I am currently building on a waterlogged area. Am about to do the septic tank for seawage.
i was told it will be done with concrete from the bottom to the top as against the use of block on a dry land.
Please is there no way i can reduced the cost like using only conrate wall for like 3 coaches then use block work to complete the remaiing coaching.
i am thinking of using waterproof cement to plaster the wall of the septic tant so that ground water will not be able to enter the septic tank via the block works.
please what do you think , will i save cost and also maintain quality?
You opinion is also highly accepted.

~~It won't work.~~ Sorry, it's never my thing to say bad things. It might work but I think it's better for you to wait till dry season. From the way you describe the site, it's most likely groundwater issue, it's not like you're dealing with high water table. So it's a normal thing to experience especially during the rainy season. It happens when you are building in the middle or end of a gradient slope.

No cause for alarm says Brabus.

Baba NL1960,

I do not intend to blog this project but I only posted this to get feedbacks in order to help us prepared very well for the massive development. Your inputs and comments will help us achieve a very resilient design.

Our buildings will have storm-resistant foundations with piles blasted down 20 or more metres.

Also you might be interested to see what government is doing to protect the 87 kilometers Lagos coastal shoreline which has already gone past Alpha beach from the back of Atlantic city now.

Beside this, there are many other ways to combat problems of erosion of the shoreline which include the use of sand saver, sea wall, X-bloc, sand bags, floodgate and sand reclamation.

Thank you for reminding us.

So my question is "How much does a standard (forget the jaras and effizys) 4 bedroom bungalow in a dry and table flat land cost in your area?"

Use your area as sample and possibly back it up with pictures and other evidences as the case may be.

Who knows someone may benefit from this!

Let me open the floor. Both projects below are Nairaland projects and handed over to their respective owners.

A standard four bedroom bungalow should range between:

3 - 3.5m in Ogijo, Ogun State
3 - 3.5m in Lambe, Akute side
4.5m in Ajah, Lagos State
3m in Owode Yewa, Agbara and environ
2.7 - 3m in Abeokuta, Ogun State
3m in Ile Oluji, Ondo State

Ogijo 4 Bed Bungalow | 2011 - 2014
I've done only one 4 bedroom bungalow as a project for a client but this house cannot be used as yardstick as the total cost of the building is 4.5m

It has the following:

1. 14 X 20' main lounge with a VT
2. 15 X 17' dining
3. A very big kitchen
4. 22 X 22 masters bedroom (ensuite)
5. Drive-in garage with a ramp for the disable. (Clients request)
6. A Big Porch and kitchen terrace
7. Other Rooms at 12 X 15
8. Plot size is 2 plots. Cost includes fencing the 2 plots and gate installation.
9. POP ceiling in all the rooms and living room
10. 0.55 gauge step tiles Aluminium.

Lambe 2 units of 2 bed on 2 floors | 2012
Here's another very close project built in 2012 in Lambe, Ogun State with a build cost of N3.5m

1. 2 units of 2 bed house on 2 floors (masters ensuite)
2. 15 X 12 living room with a balcony
3. 5 X 8 kitchen
4. PVC ceiling
5. Imported sliding Windows
6. Long span 0.45 gauge roofing

There's no need to flood this thread with pictures of these projects. They're on my project thread and the clients are reading also.
