Brothers in the house ,I got a Land in lekki yesterday in an estate for my client. I want to sand fill it. Like how many trucks of 20 tonnes filling sand would I use to fill it up to a reasonable depth.?

this is a swamp and not a land at all. Is it safe to build a house on such swamp? Even if you sand fill the swamp, what about the water beneath the soil? Think again about it to avoid sinking house in the future.

gabbytabby:
The average Nigerian no they understate how much they spent on their home oh if anything na to exaggerate.

If him say he spent 8m I am inclined to believe him. Although I also agree say finishing get level. Location also matters.

Personally I know I can do a 10m four bed duplex on half plot. I already spent 7m on a project with 2 three bedrooms one up one down and na for Ajah self.

Thank you. Don't mind that nairaland builders like n3xt etc. Imagine 19 million naira can't complete 4 bedroom duplex indeed? My university friend who is a civil engineer just built three bedroom ensuit bungalow for his mother. He spent 4 million naira only. I was amazed at the quality of the house during the house warming for his mother. But nairaland builders will be quoting 13 million naira for bungalow.

elengine:
OK sir. Sebi you will spend 6m for finishing abi. We are waiting for that kind of house. Please share with us how you are progressing. I will like to see it but on a serious note, if you spend 19m to finish it, you would begin to pay for maintenance cost two months after you park in

When I wrote 19 million naira will build a four bedroom duplex, I meant it.

MOnkeyBabe:
80 million naira value

the house is a waste. 16 bedrooms? When it is not a rental property?

elengine:
Who is this person please? How can you say something like this? Please I was just reading through and I think I need to help people especially the new comers from being misled. Oga, firstly am chartered Accountant so I can tell you that I don't know about building by education but I just moved to my 4 bedroom duplex in July and I have been on property section since 2017. To get to a carcass like this won't cost you less than 13m naira. It is very simple. What is the cost of foundation plus German floor? Oga, to have a good German floor that will carry your house you would not spend less that 1.8m. To have a good decking you can't spend less that 2.5 or 3m. Iron alone 16mm is now 225k. Do you know the qty of 16mm, 12mm, 10mm you would use for decking and German floor. Roofing. Wood work plus logging and workmanship will take 800k while China gerrard will cost you about 1.5m plus workmanship. China roofing sheet in the market is about 2k to 2700 per sqm. Abeg my brother listen to professional oh. That was how someone said on property section that with 9m ony few things it will remain and I started thinking with my 12m I will almost finish. Hmmmm I spent 29m to complete the house. You will spend 100% of what brought your house to carcass to finish and that is if your taste is controlled. Enough for the wise

You exaggerated your cost of finishing 4 bedroom duplex with 29 million. I believe 19 million should complete 4 bedroom duplex under close supervision.

Answer to your first question.

1plot of land would be enough.
For a 2storey building or 3storey building. The building size(length & width) determines the size of land required.

I would advise you build a mixed use development , your own personal apartment in front and tenants at the back.

You can do 4bedroom duplex in front and 2bedroom flats (upstairs)at the back for rent.

You can contact me for more info.
I Design and build.

What about privacy? Wouldn't both the landlord and tenant share the same compound?

FastFWD
Two weeks now we have been finding it hard to flush toilet because the water is moving .... My uncle called a plumber yesterday, the plumber had to call my uncle to show him what the problem is.. To our surprise its A condom and one of them is still fresh with some sperm inside... My uncle was surprised because he said he never used it on her since they got married ... He just built the house which is not even up to 1year... Now their marriage is on the line of collapsing, I like the wife very well because she is kind and generous she buys me latest things like phones shoes shirts...

MhizzMarcelina:
My story is a long one, but before I start, I just want you all to know that this is a true story, I am not a scammer. I can provide evidence and sign an agreement/undertaking if the need be.

I am a University graduate, I had a 2:1 in History and Strategic Studies and have completed my Youth Service.

I got pregnant in my final year, second semester for my boyfriend whom I thought loves me, but I was wrong. Our relationship was not really a serious affair as such, I met him in my 2nd year in Enugu. We were only chatting for a while before we first met in my 3rd year again. The relationship was a long-distance thing because he stays in Enugu and I was schooling outside of Enugu.

I can count how many times I have seen him, 6 times. The 6th was when I got pregnant, we have not met for 11 months, I was preoccupied with school and other stuff. Eventually, I visited. Like I knew what will happen, I warned him to use Condom but he said no, that whatever happens, he will take care of me.

I realized I was pregnant after 1 month, called him, but he said I should abort. I went to 2 pharmacies but they objected until I provide him to sign an undertaking. And I was in school, he was in Enugu. I was so scared, confused, and didn't know what to do. See my project coming, see exams, how I managed to scale through with the pregnancy, is still a miracle to me. I could remember carrying 8 months of pregnancy to Taraba State where I was posted for NYSC, I could still remember my swollen legs after the journey.

It was a terrible experience, I won't wish even my worst enemy to go through one bit of what I went through. Even after childbirth, I bleed for 6 weeks as a result of some leftover placenta. The sleepless nights, the cryings, the frustrations, the wretchedness, the shame. The whole time, my boyfriend was not in the picture. He stopped picking my calls. I visited him with my 8 months pregnancy, he sent me away and warned me never to come to look for him.

I have been staying with this aunt of mine all through my pregnancy, even did my NYSC in her house, I was reposted from Camp to Imo State. But it was not easy living with her. She is this person that complains about everything, even the food I eat. She contributed to my frustrations. I won't lie that she has helped me, but it was frustrating because she is too bitter towards me.

I completed my service and relocated to the village to stay with my parents. As of then, my daughter was 8 months old. I was doing all the village chores to survive with my child. But along the line, my mother died of a snake bite when my child was 1 year and 7 months. It was devastating!! I didn't think I could survive it, my mum had been a strong support and I was at peace staying in the village with her. I became a shadow of myself, I started working as a roadside sweeper. Sweeping express road early in the morning.

Things were not easy for me in the village since my mum passed away. I had to travel back to stay with that aunt of mine. God, it was hell living with her. I was enduring every tribulation I faced living in my aunt's house until I couldn't endure it further after a strong misunderstanding where she hauled insults at me calling me names even prostitute and reminding me that she is the one fending for me. I got angry and traveled to Abuja to my girlfriend's with my daughter. Things were not easy there as well, I didn't see any job to do. And no money, I had to travel back to the village.

I resolved to carry my cross the way I saw it. I kept reminding myself that I was paying for the sin of fornication. I was doing village chores and saving small money. I started applying for jobs online until I got a job in Enugu. I took my child to my aunt because there is nothing I could do and no one I could entrust my child with. And I needed to get out of that village that was turning me into an old woman.

So, as bitter as it is, I left my daughter to the aunt that has been a torn to my flesh. I started working in Enugu in a firm, the job came with accommodation. But, bearly working for just 5 months, Covid19 struck, I was laid off from the 20,000 naira job I was managing.

I went back to my aunt and daughter, since the Covid19. I have been Jobless and broke. It is frustrating with my aunt on my head constantly reminding me that I am doing nothing but eating. Sometimes, I starve myself so that she won't complain about the food. She picks at everything I do in the house. My presence irritates her, i don't have peace of mind at all, am scared and afraid.. I have even lost my self-esteem.

I am 26 years old, broke, homeless, no bussiness, and a child. My aunt is a big woman in a federal government job. She has a good job and earns good money but finds it hard to help, she complains and calculates everything she has done for somebody. Staying with her is like staying in hellfire. She is not married.


Please, I need someone to help me with a job that has accommodation and can require me to bring my 4 years daughter along. Please.. Or any suggestions that can help me to be a better version of my self. I need help. This aunt of mine thinks without her, I am nothing, I really want to prove her wrong. As I said, I am ready to provide evidence and sign an agreement if need be.

how old is your aunt? Does she has kids too or not? Maybe she is jealous of you because she is still single at her age and has no child yet.

olumide4christ:
Your statement is neither here nor there...no basis for your conclusions, nothing provided to substantiate your accusations...for a statement that I made over a year ago.

By the way, my statement you quoted was in response to someone asking for cost of a duplex in Lekki over a year ago. If you are a QS, how much is the cost to build a duplex in Lekki now or 2 years ago? N10 million, N20 or N30 million? If you are a QS, it's people like you who are giving a bad name to the profession, not me. It's people like you that is giving a contractor on one of my projects in Lekki presently, a tough time as a result of poor rates.
You imagine a QS pricing formwork for N2,300 per m2 in 2020!! Now the contractor is making a loss as a result of that. Unfortunately, I am consultant QS and Project Manager, thus, I can't help the contractor but allow him carry his cross and go and tackle his QS who put him in the quagmire he finds himself now.

Scamming is not part of my dictionary...you are the 1st person to ever label me/accuse me of being a scammer either here on Nairaland or out there in the real world...after over 15 years of work experience for individual and corporate clients.

In conclusion, you are always entitled to your opinion...it will always be an opinion, never a fact!

Nice night.

The profession is being sidelined in the construction industry because of greedy surveyor like you. If you quoted 50 million naira for 5 bedroom duplex two years ago excluding land cost. probably now you will estimate 70 million naira for it. Change your ways.

spyder880:
Plastering the house.

Follow the list below, note that some of the jobs can go on concurrently with the previous or next jobs.

Is windows and burglary not supposed to come before plastering? I could be wrong.

olumide4christ:
N45-50 million, depending on level of finishings for the building and external works but excluding land.
As per land, I'm not sure of current prices around Lekki. You can ask the land merchants here on Nairaland.

You overestimate a lot as a quantity surveyor. You are giving a bad name to the profession. Scammer.

Regg231:
