Oga we are not kids . Stay clear of my post as i cant tolerate ur sarcasm well.Remember this is not the first time someone has ask me this question and u come up with ur usual.

We... I don't understand

Chekitaut:
I have read so many say "i dont believe i will spend more than budget, project has to hold for wrong budgeting, budget has to shift goal post back because the person doing the job knows very well" if you start with low budget you will be happy to execute project after getting in it he now bring unencouraging requirements.

Problem is that, some Contractor will give you a lower estimates to attract your business but when construction starts there will be many stories but it will be too late to stop your project. Due deligence is the advise.
Thank you.

Hajji M.

My take all the time...

megacontrol:
To be fair the guy assumed you meant you did a 5 meter HIGH foundation and was only trying to clarify if you meant to say 5ft (instead of the 5m you wrote). Hence he stated that 5m is about 15ft oh...

Make we dey calm down sometimes.

N5m not 5m.v

@Chekitaut

i ask questions, it aggravate her anger. ma'am clam down. We no get fight for cooler.

Enyinne:
Oga , Your not an engineer and knows nothing about building. Always responding sarcastically when people says there cost . Always believe the cost spent on building esp foundation as cost is variable and all land conditions are not same .Respectable member here gave me a quote of 12.7m to erect from foundation to decking without his professional fee .When I received it , i doubted it and decided to buy all materials by myself and labour as i was feeling his quotation was much but i must confess i hv spent very very closely to that amount to achieve foundation to decking . So mind ur language at times as meself no get joy now .

I do not think there is a place i have claim to be an engineer in this forum, i only recommend, if required, i do not think there is anywhere in this world where asking question lead to fight. I hv nothing against ur project, which one be gbas wey you dey throw. I bow oooo. you come write long essay like this. I am not an engineer, that i say patronise them to avoid questions that touch the brain, body & soul. U dey castigate me. Mbok no vexs

EgunMogaji2:


That’s an alarmist point of view Sir and you should know better than to say that.

Oga mi sir, encourage the profession, they study hard to get there.

Enyinne:
My land is waterlogged and i used upto 5m for foundation

5ft or 5m? 5m is 15ft

Malevonent:
good day, all, interesting thread i must say
pls i need your input in the areas below.

1. for an average 5br bungalow, i got a builder who wants 1.3m as fees and labour to take it from start to roofing level. i will only supply materials, i am a newbie in building, so dont really have an idea, however, i feel its high, cos og going through some pages of this thread, i saw where 250k was paid as fees alone for foundation to lintel of 5br duplex

2. a pals painter gave him a quote of 2.6m for painting a 5br duplex, siad paint is 28k per drum [dulux substitute] and that it would be over 4.2m if he is to use dulux.. i know without dimensions, it may be difficult to tell, but i just want to have idea about avg cost of painting duplex.

3. any ingenious plumber in the house?.. for a duplex, owner wants to keep the tank on the ground, or even below ground, and use a booster pump to pressurerize the water supply, 24/7 power is available, so power isnt an issue, has someone tried this approach..any lessons learnt or this plan isnt feasible?.

You need an engineer, just look for one here & engage him or her, DIY is good but pay an engineer... If you do not pay for the service of an engineer now, in future you will call one to help you fix error or faults.

Lol. I know of a man, architect who supervised a building project recently. Three 2-bedrooms bungalow with around 5 million naira with fence and borehole. When I heard how it was done, I saluted him.

location play good role in cost of building. In Ajah some security house is worth N5m

edoman2016:

From your experience as building materials supplier, how do you think can complete basic 3 bedroom bungalow?

In such a terrain N4m or above, high foundation will be necessary, Concrete will be required lot of structural input, if he sell N15m or N20m he can get a land @ N7m build with N5m.

I have read so many say "i dont believe i will spend more than budget, project has to hold for wrong budgeting, budget has to shift goal post back because the person doing the job knows very well" if you start with low budget you will be happy to execute project after getting in it he now bring unencouraging requirements.

dongc:
his response is actually disappointing ..op asked for recommendation.he couldnt even give one..ended up confusing and complicating it for the OP

If you understand this forum & this particular trend or topic you will agree with me what am saying, the people here now worries every concerned,.

"The hen that crows in the morning belong to one person but the voice is the property of the neighborhood"

Op is lucky his phone number is not here, some will tell you unrealistic price. Putting the professional look like fools & idiot. Almost everybody here DIY & Home owner are here for one help or the other.

Most Owner & Engineer here know me, if i recommend, many odd things will follow, if op consult me i will definitely recommend tete a tete.

I wish all well here i can not castigate anyone. Only solutions i will profound.

Whoever push, force, mandate, complousry you to pay tithe is putting curse on you. Fight ruthlessly & reject. Salvation is an individual race. Dey ur dey make i dey my dey... Let God judge me not human beans...

Dubemcapital1:




Laughing out loud! Chekitaut you are not serious

But this will instigate fear and confusion at the end of the day because of this he may not get the help or recommendation he desires. But recommending someone you trust from here will mean a big help to him or what do you thing?


Dubemcapital

Bros no fear, whatever service he want he will surely get. Cheap things are tend not to be good this days,

Dennis3D:


You simply summarized it.
Spot on.
So let the client now decide who and which category he wants to avoid mistaken identity.

Thank you...

neduboo:


If I should leave the area, there will be a cost implication for new land. Whenever it rains heavily, there will be flood that stays for 1 or 2 days before leaving. I just want a bungalow that flood can't enter inside the house unlike the old house that once the flood comes it enters inside the house.

Can you imagine sleeping inside the flood for up to 2 days? It affects one's cognitive ability.

The location is Lagos

PM me lets discuss

You have every reason to leave the place to another area, fighting flood will not help, you can sell the property and relocate. N2m will not complete a 2bedroom bungalow.

Location is not stated, if i can advise.
