Precision5: Thanks a lot @fabiopeter. It really helped.
I was initially thinking 2.5m could do the foundation due to the good nature of the soil. Guess I was wrong.
With your quote above I guess N22m well managed could finish that building. I'll need a prudent builder for this turnkey project I am glad it helps. The most important thing about building is to begin, don't bother much about final cost. Take it a stage at a time. Let's hope the price of cement remains #1450. |

Barezzi: Everything looks about right, apart from the parapet. Depends on the size of the house sha... budget around 500k Wood, cement, rods, labour. I doubt you can achieve parapet of this dimension for less than a million. |

Precision5: @ FabioPeter it sounds a bit on the high side though I was budgeting N20m max. Need a good economist for this task.
Do you mind breaking this figure into 7 major parts/ stages namely:
1. Foundation: N.... 2. Ground floor block walls: N... 3. Decking: N... 4. 1st floor block walls: N... 5. Parapet/ Roof: N... 6.Plastering: N... 7. Finishing: N... @spyder008 is right, there are so many variables. I am not a builder but I had a first hand experience with mine which is similar to yours. It has all rooms ensuit with no parapet and long span roofing. Here is a cost breakdown: Foundation: 3 million Ground floor: 1.5million Decking: 3 million First floor : 1.5 million Parapet: 1.5 million(not sure of this one) Noggins/roof(long span): 1.7million Plastering: 1.5million Window casement: 1.2 million Window/edge hood: 500,000 Plumbing: 500,000 Gatehouse: 500,000 Electrical conduit/wiring:600,000 Fence/Gate: 850,000 Window protector: 500,000 Stanchion/borehole/ tanks: 500,000 Septic tanks(2): 200,000 Finishing not included, based on your taste. I hope this helps, feel free to ask for clarification. |

It makes economic sense to own a property in an industrial area but on the other hand consider the daily pollution from the refinery. It is industry practice to run the plant using shift workers not just because the plant runs non stop but because of the exposure to emissions that affect health. There is a prescribed distance a residential apartment should maintain. Please research on this and be guided. |

Barezzi: No wahala bro... I harvest 12kwh on average daily from my 3780w array. My average daily consumption is 15kwh (6kwh daytime & 9kwh nighttime) Without period support from the grid, my battery bank would never be fully charged. If i switch off during the day , and use at night, then i can live off-grid. End of rant. 3780W array and you generate just 12kwh? Do you live in the artic? What's the efficiency of your panels? I am novice on this but it doesn't add up. I hope you will enlighten me. |

Barezzi: To operate optimally, discharge your battery bank no lower than 50% DOD. If your setup requires 8kwh, then your battery bank will be sized for 16kwh (50% is 8kwh). For a 48v system, 16kwh/48= about 400Ah. That's eight( 8 ) 12vdc 200Ah batteries. ( 2 banks) Or eight 6vdc 410Ah batteries (1 bank) Thanks but my set up doesn't require 8kwh, I generate 8kwh. Not exactly the same thing. It means how many batteries will be charged 100% by my 8kwh panel. I guess the OP's response was spot on. Thanks all the same. |

How do you calculate the optimal battery bank(AH) required to store say 8000wh generated by 4, 200w solar panels over 10 hours of sunlight ? Thanks for the enlightenment so far. |

erico2k2: Well that's the world we live in,but let me say something here,Nigerians deserve all they get reasons we love the good life but cant afford or do not want to pay for it.if teh govt say o k %2 of all our incomes should be paid into a national health scheme so that we all can have free medical treatment you will see days of protest by all Unions in Nigeria but that's waht these countries do.if they ask every home to pay council tax weather you are working or not so we can have our bins removes and have proper rds, people will shout ahr thieving things etc.The bottom line is nothing good is free. Trust is earned, the government have to build trust especially in the area of financial stewardship. A governor that hires a chopper to his village every fortnight won't be successful with improved revenue generation via tax. |

If you don't know, Abuja has more modern infrastructure than Vienna or Venice or Prague where most of their city buildings are at least 500 years old. Can you imagine that in black Africa? Thanks for the enlightenment on Vienna and Venice but as for the "mental capacity" I beg to differ. We don't have a maintenance culture but that can change overnight with the right policies in place. |

They came to develop us and we chased them away chanting 'self rule' and independence. It's another hundred years before you see a public primary school like that in black Africa. What will it cost to set up 7 of these in each LGA and call them model schools. I guess it is way less than 200 billion Naira . Check out how much we pay for fuel subsidy and still buy fuel at astronomical price. We need to set our priorities right. |

Bollinger: You know how when you are in a bad place and you see other people being somewhat happy and it pains you. People ask you "hey, how's life?" and you put on a fake smile and say "omo, everything just de bam". Then, one day, those people who you often observe being happy all of a sudden are in the same bad place you are. All of a sudden, you are happy because, you know what they say, misery loves company. See all the negative comments on NL. You mutherfuckers are in a bad place and you have the nerve to open your phucking mouths to say "i love Nigeria my country", "Nigeria is awesome". Awesome my foot. If it was that awesome, you would not be jubillating over someone elses misfortune. Just by your comments alone, one can tell that you all are unhappy and thoroughly depressed. Misery really does love company. Honestly, it fascinates me how you see virtually everything in Nigeria as bad, how people are ignorant with worthless lives and how Nigeria will be heaven if all were like you. Isn't it sickening that with all your comfort and perfect life in wherever you are, you spend the most of your day trying to catch up with the backward life we live here? You have a problem, you lack an identity. You wish you were American or European, each day you realize you are not your fantasy, then you take out your frustration on everything Nigerian. I feel sorry for you. |

k4kenny: I don't get it. Even if your boss drew up the memo for you to travel, shouldn't you still include the flight tickets and other receipts before such payments can be made? At least that's how it works in my company so as to avoid the type of fraud this OP's boss is trying to perpetuate. No you don't have to include receipt, some companies have standard rates all you need do is attach the memo. |

mufutau55: Some advantages are to prevent weed growing from underneath and water sipping from underneath.. I am sure Oga Spyder will have more.
Hajji M. The waterproof underneath prevents effective drainage which ought the be one of the fine aspect of the interlocking tiles design. Sand particles get in between the tiles and rest on the waterproof providing good soil for weed to grow. The worst case is the tiles eventually retro water because of blocked seepage this causes it to be slippery and unsafe. I recommend herbicides are used to combat weeds rather than polythene water proof. |
