wooden facial is the cheapest... you can protect the surface against rusting bu attaching light aluminium flasher....
if you want something beautiful...use precast facial board. The precast concrete facial can be done with any type of design and its cheaper than the insitu type

ok sir...but someone said the precast use to fall off, and that is dangerous

abdulwastecx:
hope the explanation was satisfactory

Yes, sir. God bless you. you are really wonderful. please what are your suggestions on Concrete fascia? I am thinking of just a simple flat (rectangular) fascia that may reduce cost... please advise.

AreaFada2:
@Mr DavieJay,

Nice work man, more grease.

How much is a plot or half plot of land in the area/Marabara and nearby areas that you're building?

Thanks.

thanks Bro, a plot around that my area is going for like 4m now (one is actually available close to me)

PHfinest:
Bros, Na so. But the structure will appreciate in value unlike that Honda babyboy wey u want take the money buy

Defcon1:
Everything is coming up nice.
More power to your elbow.

May the good Lord who started this finish it for you.

All the best.

Thanks sir

okwele1:
may God give u d grace, resorces & strenghth to complete this project & give glory to His name Amen.

may God also bless me to build mine amen
am learning and also very encouraged.
keep it up

Amen, sir. God will do yours also

Sirniyeh:
Weldone, God will continue to enrich you till completion. It's a great essential asset!

Seeing your pixs reminds me of my time, when I was building my first house years back. Very exciting and encouraging...

Just make sure you cut cost orelse you get consumed if you attempt to follow up all satisfactory suggestions.

As your rent is almost due, put that into consideration, kids school fees and domestic responsibility. Don't let the joy of building runs you bankrupt, be prudent in all things.

Talking from experience

God bless

Thank you so much sir

donem:
@ ogar deviejay I hail to you, you're undergoing a nice project, more money to your account.

Amen, sir...God will surely see you through

Seamareggae:
Nice one bro... May God keep granting You the Resources to complete the house...

I hope to build mine one day...

Amen. God will give you yours too

abdulwastecx:
i will suggest you split the job between
1. foundation to dpc ( which has been completed already)
2. block work to roofing level
3. roofing/nogging
4. plastering, electrical, plumbing, windows, doors and other finishes etc

ask him how much he would like to collect...you can as well contact me privately so i can give you detail breakdown so as not offend professionals here sir

ok, sir...I just sent you a text message.

nwaanambra1:
@daviejay

That location is a very nice location - it saves you from abuja demolitions.

pls always remove some percentage from the money you are investing in the house and give to the homeless, the beggars and the needy - believe me the gesture pays off abundantly. (don't give to pastors ooo or imams).

May Almighty see you thru this beautiful project that will immensely benefit you and your family.

Amen, Sir.

Thanks a lot for your advice, honestly I never thought in that direction.

africanusvu:
Good idear,to start,location afects source and cost of material,ar u buying blocks or ar u moulding insitu?from d picture,u dnt need much stree I site clearig since no trees there,what of water?then,dnt do day pay rather adopt counting method for messon cos if u do day pay,they cheat u on hour andproduction but if u do counting,u give them chalange,ar u married,allow ur wife to be on site cos women ar too good in managing husbands building site wit passion,dnt alow ur engineer to aect changes in ur plans especially if it is Autocard cos it always changes d final structure negatiive,finally,watever ur budget is,double it to avoid frustrationGoodluck

Thanks so much Sir

abdulwastecx:
depending on negotiation sir.. people take within the range of 4-10k per day, you can do well to negotiate for the whole duration from the block work to completion of roofing....It is also a factor of financial strength etc

Thanks, Sir...but please what is your suggestion? I Just need a guide.

abdulwastecx:
yes sir...he is doing a good job for you sir

Ok Sir, please like how much should I pay him for supervision?

wristwatch:
Make God grant u d grace, will and power to complete this project and make sure u invite us when u are about to open the house.

please I need guidance on the concrete fascia... I intended doing a very simple 5 or 6 inches rectangular fascia to save some cost. ideas please from the masters in the house, thanks a lot.

abdulwastecx:
if you are using 9" that is ok sir
That price very ok even for 6", atleast let the man get small thing.

Good day Oga Abdulwastecx, please should I still pay him for supervision after this N50 per Block charge for labour?

KolaShangOne:
I think you should tell the house how many bags of cement and other materials u used..

Because there are some builders on NL that boast of using 20bags for German floor

hello house...sorry this response came a bit late. the total materials for the german floor were:

57 bags of cement

gravel = N50,000

sharp sand = N35,000

more...

By God's Grace the block laying started today

skyps:
If this includes foundation and blocks used upto dpc I think is okay a bit but you should be more conscious of your engineer

Thanks Skyps...the problem is that I don't have time to be on the site because of my job

KolaShangOne:
I think you should tell the house how many bags of cement and other materials u used..

Sorry house... I'll post the quantity of materials used so far as soon as I reconcile little differences with the engineer's records.

skyps:
Please can you tell us how much you spent on the dpc?

Sorry all... From setting out to German floor, I've spent #780,000
