....... You said you spent 2.5 million Naira up till roofing level, how much was the cost of the land?........besides, Congrats to you & family, you will live peacefully in your new house.

Na my personal land oo

Kizyte:
Alright, expecting your update on that

Ok let me start with this

1.Cement so far about... 340 bags, at the rate of between 1500 to 1800,the kept fluctuating.
I sincerely believe that with cement price around a thousand naira, real Estate will experience an astronomical growth.

2.Roofing sheet... 125K

3.Ceiling tiles.... 73k

4.Wood.....140k

5.Door frame... 8k per one

Labour for roofing and ceiling.... 50k

Labour for plastering.... 45k,
initially I said don't give contract but go for direct labour.. This thought me a lesson ; I got a quotation of 150k for plastering, I felt I was too much, got another one for 120k,still didnt like, then my brother suggested we go for "direct" labour which I did,at the end I spent less than 50k.

6.Sand is 8k per tipper.. But can't get number we used so far.

7.Moulding of block is about 1500 of labour for one bag

@agarawu23,hope it answers your question as well..the cost of labour in my villa is 2500 for the bricklayers

The rest are miscellaneous can't really collate now.
Hope it helps.. Thanks

Jethrolite:
Congratulations sir, do not forget us when you are about painting. We will produce high quality Jethrolite paint for you at affordable rates.

Thank you.

What is "jethrolite" though.. Is it type of paint or quality of,? first time am hearing of it. I plan to use "satin" for the interior

Oghumu1:
No dining?? U made a right choice because building in lag is very expensive. I can't count the number of times we paid the so called Omonile here in ikorodu, yet they still disturb us after payment

I converted the bathroom to dinning, since it faces the sitting room

Chazzyboy:

Not zinc though, is aluminum base.

Usually I don't comment on issues like this but there is great burden on me to tell you that ;
THIS IS THE SMALLEST HOUSE YOU WILL EVER BUILD!
Remember this prophecy when sharing your bigger testimony soon. Congrats

Thank you my brother... Infact my heart is already stirred up for a story building.

"iheoma di na iru"...greater things!

faqir:
Pls hw much do u spend al-in-all. As in, from foundation to plastering, roofing included

I have stated.. About 2.5M.
Best way is direct labour, don't give anybody contract to build," pay as you build" works best

hotobo:
I thought you start from plastering to Foundation What's new in building a house. Must you announce it. Maybe you're the first to build a house in your entire family.

If you most no i built my first house when was 25 years old with forex trading money.

semitunde:
I can't find the kitchen or is it just my eyes?

Also one of the rooms there could have had its walls to an adjoining space collapsed for a walk in closet and master bedroom; or make it an ensuite master bedroom toilet/bathroom.

The land seems OK and I'm hoping you won't go beyond the bungalow by later adding more floors so you're fine.

Thumbs up!

thank you for your observation, we have done exactly what you recommended.. . guess we thinking alike.. great mind!

Lstar4real:
Beautiful sir...I really concurred with your reason...Na so I go do my own Too when its Time...when u finish this house No be your death body go live there (people we say na when he finish the house he come die) Such words will never be your portion in Jesus Name....Happiness will never seize in Face including your wife & children.. God bless u sir...You shall spend many many years in that house with your wife & children including your family in Good health and wealth.....Amen!!!

Ahh that na correct prayer, you must be a prophet.. I had a lot battle before and during the building, enemies everywhere, but GOD PASS THEM!

God remember and settle you my brother!

tumababa:
Nice one. But I observed the sitting room has no window that leads outside. How do you plan to get good ventilation?

It does, just beside the door... I don't joke with ventilation because me get "hot blood" so breeze must cool my temperature

chiibekee:
God bless ur handwork brother.

Thank you my dear

Lstar4real:
Beautiful House but No dinning in your house .... I will like to know the reason why u used 3step of block after linted





Thanks

Best question so far.

I hate seeing houses that look like huts..or what we cal in igbo "nkpuke okuko".... That is were fowl stays Men it's irritating.

I like "a house on the rock" kind of setting, gives room for ventilation, though it cost more,but am really satisfied. infact I wanted the floor level higher but the builder had his way.. Good you noticed such minor details, really love it

As for dining, I have already converted the bathroom to dinning, I mean there is already two toilets, so I decided to link them to the four rooms and make them serve as both toilet and bathroom

Kizyte:
Nice thread, Nwanne, I'll appreciate if you state the cost of materials and labour at various stages

Will try.. Not really easy

emekamigo:
Why use zinc?

It not zinc, its a form of aluminum..it looks like zinc though

shine96:
welldone Bro. Kudos. Building is not easy o. I started and stopped at roofing level. Make i gather money go back to work.May God strengthen you. You will finish well by God's grace

Yea..God will surely provide

Once you get to roofing level, you can just take your time

agarawu23:

I think is about 35 pieces, can't be certain now, e don tay small, my brain dey reboot

agarawu23:
OK sir!

I am only interested in the type of house you are building,
Cost to roofing level (let us know how many blocks, cement, sand, iron, gravel and how much you paid your workers )
Cost of roofing


You will finish and live there soon by the grace of God

About the cost to roofing level.. So far is about 2.5million
