Ok good just need a good apartment,also dont have ideas yet of the cost of such apartment,since you have the right idea please share with me,so I know what to budget.

Please who ever have or know any vacancy in Lagos especially around ajah and epe axis will appreciated, WhatsApp me fast on 09032289205.

I ran a little bit out of cash for sometime now, also this week we are working on drawing nepa light from the pole down the street.
Above is the final stage of my brother house.

@ capeverde , are there toilets in the rooms? if no, which toilets would the occupants of the rooms use?
and please, how can I contact you via whatsapp? I have some questions to ask you sir.

No toilet yet,but it will be built along side the suck away pit, since there is sand,and I pay my engineer daily for now,he will do it along side the pit. Also I believe 4 bags will do the work. I will carry everyone along.

You can ask here,but if it's a personal one drop yours here,I will get to you.

Chidelis:
Pls o, how much did u buy aluminum roofing sheets?

1000 naira per one,50k for a bundle of 50pieces.

I will be needing 4bags of cement,19k balance for the door,6k to pay the engineer workmanship for a two plastering day work ,then painting,to conclude the house project.
It wasn't an easy task but it was a task that worth my effort,and I hope to get more opportunity to do bigger projects than this anytime soon.

Ogborokiri:
I dont get u 280k to get the building to where it is now without the cost of the land

Yes 280k only for the two rooms apartment from scratch up to the present stage.

Odingo1:
Please how much have you spent in total minus the amount used in buying the land.

280k, just do the calculation from the beginning of the project,you will get it

Building a house is not easy,but is the best investment and commitment that comes with no regret but joy as it secures your money for you and sometimes generation unborn at your own will.
I have just door, painting,and few plastering work left in this journey. But hopefully if am able to raise another 300k in the remaining part of this year I will be starting a four room apartment towards the end of the year.
But I will update the house till the end or till the house is been occupied.
Also for those hoping to start their own building you can come over to see mine and I can guide you through
Your journey, for free.

Where in warri can one buy cheap land now without issues? Am interested.

I can only say for the area am building presently, they are still selling but is a bit higher than the time I purchase.

I bought 2trip of sand yesterday for 16k

bizzibodi:
Which one make house cool?I prefer to build at my pace over d yrs not under pressure.

Hollow blocks

Sunkadex:
Please how much is the Shea butter? And can you send it to Lagos? That's my location

Saw your message on low cost house building

ella29:
Would like ur assistance on this low cost building....kindly drop ur whatapp no....would appreciate alot thnx!

Drop your number here and let me Know when you starting so we can carry everyone along in your building process.

bizzibodi:
Well done!I see a fence u didn't tell us d cost, what is d advantage of solid block s over hollow,same cost?cost of labor is cheap there o!one plot 100 by 100?I intend 2 build 3 bedrooms may b i shld complete d sitting room 1st pack in then gradually complete d rest.

It was my neighbor that did fencing which is beneficial to me on that side, hopefully my brother behind might also fence which means I will be left alone with oneside to fence in future.
In my end here hollow block is use by few to build upstairs,I held it makes house cool during heat or sunny period nothing so special about it, because they both use the same quantities of sand cement.
As to build a 3 bedroom apartment halfway,I prefer you building a 2 or 1 bedroom apartment that you can complete in a short time,and you will be glad as to what you are spending your money.

Electrical work is free because that's our line of work.

So far for the plastering,I have use two bags for one room and is frontage and I paid 6k for the workmanship.i also use 3bags for the concrete flooring.
As for the plastering sand I have some left from previous work.
So far I have been using one trip of sharp sand for the whole work,I will be buying second trip tomorrow to conclude the little plastering work left.

Still on the plaster work, present view of the house is above

Emperornice:
Please what's the cost of the aluminum window?

10500 per window, net included and the size 4ft wide and 4ft high.

Mznaett:
The floor plan is what I'm asking for, sir.

Abi na just like that una dey build? No drawing to scale?

Am not the owner,his own has a building plan drawn by his engineer,I cant beginning to ask him for his house plan,when he a very busy loaded man,na only me broke.
With what I explain earlier you should have I dear.
As for my one room na we draw the plan with my engineer.

Mznaett:
Not only the room size. But also the interior walls, windows, doors, hall ways etc. From here, one would be able to specify their arrangements.

The door is a block,dpc 3 coaches, the room is 12*12 but if you around and chance, you can come and see it your self.

Mznaett:
Can you show us the floor plan of your brother's building?

Do you mean the size of the floors per room?

DeejaywonDJ1:
How much did you budget for everything sir?

For my work 300k and with what I have spent so far it may be sufficient.

luckaz:
.


100x50 is our one plot in Bayelsa

Oh really.
Don't know about that area.

At this stage was surprised for some days people are already pressuring us to lease it out,a guy came today and is even willing to come later to pay for a year and six months.

Gosj01:
Great job @op, I like how you record and account for spent expenditures.

How did you deal with Land grabbers (we call them Ọmọ onílé here) from the starting to the roofing of both houses?


You didn't mention the documents given to you at the point of payment for the land.


I guess you are your own bricklayer which makes the spending much lower but do you have any other casual people working with you and how do you pay them?

Actually we don't land grabber here, although I paid 10k at the initial start of the first building,that covers any building I partake in my land.
I did my own agreement documentation by a reputable lawyer and surveyor,since the seller got the land by inheritance like a share property,I make sure all the elders of the family partake in the process.
Also there is just one engineer and we did the service ourselves.
