TheNoble007: Crazy. Something that was 15000 naira last year... People took advantage of the pandemic to inflat prices. ₦15,000 to ₦50,000 is 340% increment which has no justification at all. Dollar was ₦360 and now ₦460. The ₦100 difference is just 30% difference. This increment has no justification |

Person2person: The skin door is 46k with hdf frame and architraves Great. I have about 22 doors in total, out of which 5or 6 are entrance doors which would either be Nigerian Fabrication metal or Turkey/Chinese. But for the internal doors which would be about 15-16, can I engage you for the modern frame similar to the ones you posted? I'll be going for the skin doors, which someone would give based on previous agreement, but not frames. Hence, I would like to get the modern frames done |

You must be building the worlds biggest septic tank. That is one of the reasons why I like reading your posts. You always tend to know how to get things done well and at very reasonable cost. I was laughing here yesterday when some people wanted to argue on the possibility of achieving a block of 4 flats below N30 million, excluding land cost. |

michlins: you will agree with me that the biggest turn off about Nigeria doors is the finishing. I make doors so I tell you that part of the job is extremely difficult and requires more man hours than it takes to make the doors even.
Another thing is the issue of noise upon closing the door. But that is highly negligible once there are occupants in the room but sometimes it acts as security cause upon tampering, the door will make a creaky sound that will alert the owner or neighborhood Nigeria metal doors are durable, but ugly, make shutter noise and the third thing is the special lock like those Chinese type can't be embedded |

Person2person: wooden door are used internally while steel doors are used externally. No doubt steel or metal is stronger than wood..
the op is asking about internal doors. Some people do use the panel door as internal doors. In fact, I saw one in a property in Lekki Phase 1 yesterday. I'm about getting doors for my house. Total of 22 doors. I've gotten quotes from different people based on different materials (wooden/Metal/steel) and pattern (flush/Panel) MDF, HDF, Turkey, Chinese, Skin door, Mahogany etc. I'm still thinking of the option to go for |

diordaves: You will struggle to build a four flat for 20m even on dry land. Don't forget, the flats are for sale for 15m so the design and finish should be in such a standard to attract buyers. So POP all through, possibly parapet, no shared entrance, the block should be so designed that buyers can park their cars without having to call neighbours to move their cars before driving out or parking and so on. To get the concept right for resale, you will easily spend well over 35m. But even if 35m will do it, the poster will still not see any signicant profit to make the venture worthwhile. I maintain my stance. It is very doable, depending on the factors I mentioned earlier. Location, soil texture and the envisaged material finishing. It doesn't have to be expensive for you to have quality finishing You can spend N60million on 4 flats in some locations, and in other locations, N20 to N25m will do it. If you get a land at N10million in a location and spend N25million to build. This is N35million. Each can still be sold at N10million. May be not too much profit, but you'll break-even. |

diordaves: How much do you think is appropriate? Depending on the size of the building, starting from N20m, you can get one done In fact, you can you even spend as much as N60M on it in areas where the soil texture is poor and require pile foundation, but if the soil is not too bad and your pile point depth is not more than 12 to 15metres, from N20m to N35m you can it done and well finished with casement window, tile floor finishing and China Security doors |

Person2person: warping can come from the frame or the door
those warping door are constructed with wet wood, as the wood dries up with time, its state will not be uniform again.hence the reason for draging. it's mostly unavoidable with panel door because the wood market is saturated with wet or partially dry wood.
solution.
either you framed your door with imported board or you insist on the use of PINE (parking case) for the carcass of the door.
for rentable flat, I will advice you use skin door framed with Pine wood (treated imported parking case) for the door.
attached pictures is a skin door with mahogany frame and architraves...,
Goodluck! Are skin doors really strong compare with panel that are made of steel/metal? |

diordaves: Retailing of dedicated blocks of flats in Nigeria is a concept going way back to FESTAC Town (1977), Gov Jakande of Lagos State (Jakande estates). So it is a tried and tested concept which may be viable relative to location and the level of finish and closeness to amenities.
However, I'm not sure if THIS your prognosis/proposal will be viable. Why?
How many units of three bedrooms are you proposing to build? The normal four flats of three bedrooms? If yes:
You bought the land for N25,000,000. As you are wishing to sell on, the finish MUST be of very high standard and sophistication. It will include uninterrupted packing space for each flat and possibly no shared entrance.
So the block may cost on average N45,000,000 to build including legal fees and associated fees.
So TOTAL COST: N25,000,000 (Land) + N45,000,000 (building cost) = N70,000,000
Selling Cost is N15,000,000 per flat.
So TOTAL Revenue: N15,000,000 x 4 (flats) = N60,000,000
Profit: N60,000,000 - N70,000,000 = -N10,000,000 LOSS !!!. You dont have to spend N45million on a Block of 4 flats |

Some facts about the NDDC and why people should not blame this present administration. Obasanjo created NDDC in 2001 and was in office from 1999-2007. OBJ supervised NDDC for about 6 years
Yar adua was in office from 2007-2010 Yar adua supervised NDDC for about 3 years
Jonathan was in office from 2010-2015 Jonathan supervised NDDC for about 5 years
Buhari has been in power since 2015 Buhari is presently supervising NDDC for about the 5th year now. This revelation is only coming up under Buhari.
Can anyone tell us what's been happening in NDDC from 2001 to 2019? |
