Franzese:
Land 4.5M looks expensive for that area?

Sadly, my town seems to very very expensive when it comes to land. Due to the fact I started this project, the one close to me is been fixed for 5m as at yesterday.

IjebuWarrior:
Great job, OP. Keep it up. May God Almighty bless you abundantly to complete it. Amen!

Amen. Thanks so much.

Foundation was done yesterday and casting was done today.

ibechris:

Good day everyone,

I am creating this thread to document the progress of my building project. I am currently building a 3 bedroom bungalow with a room and parlour, including a security house.

I AM VERY OPEN TO CORRECTIONS AND SUGGESTIONS CAUSE AM A NOVICE.

From time to time, i will be updating this page on what i have spent so far and the pics of the job as we make progress. The weather has not been too friendly and this has delayed the job. Work may not go on on some days cause of rain.

I am not physically present, my very good friend who has been an engineer is handling the project somewhere in Delta State.

Kindly comment or share advice if any.
