Am a Nigerian from Imo state but residing in South Africa, I bought a land at Uratta Owerri and my contractor gave me this quotation for a storey building (two flats down and two up each containing two rooms and parlour with kitchen and toilet in every room), please I need the gurus in this forum to check out the quotation as I think it's exorbitant.
