QSFemi:
What's your projected estimate?

15-18m for a basic finish, Considering the cost of materials.roofing alone with wood work and longspan will gulp about 1.5m or more. This includes wood, roofing sheet and labour no matter the size of the 4 bedroom. Then estimate number of blocks to be used, cement, iron rods. Then finishing with basic materials. Am just a home owner detailing my experience after supervising my building my self . Am not an architect or engineer

QSFemi:
For a 4 bedroom bungalow, you can have a budget of 7 to 12m depending on lots of factors.

For a detailed estimate, you will need an architectural working drawings to achieve that.

7-12m for a four bedroom bungalow in 2022? I seriously doubt that

Please, kindly help me out. I drilled my borehole on the 8th of August, after all the flushing and installation, my water is yet to clean. I called the engineer, he said maybe the gravel packing was poor and groundwater is zipping into the hole. Please, any remedy? Have added chlorine, alum, caustic soda, yet no changes
depth of borehole? Method of drilling (air or water) ? Diameter of casing used? Lithology of soil ( hard rock or loose soil)?

I was at Iwo road, Ibadan yesterday and I saw this made in Nigeria door. It’s a five foot security door and goes for N250K. I wish I had come across it before buying my “Turkey” door.

In fact I’m contemplating removing it angry
this is beautiful, I had to sell my turkey door at a loss. When I got home the beauty disappeared from my eyes and the frame was not strong.

So the major decision going forward is whether to use projector (long or shot throw) or high def television. I have wiring for both already.
high definition TV for me, Not less than 80 inches.

So, how hard would it be to rip off a long span roof to do Gerard (sp)? Can I use the same wood structure?

Thanks.

PS: Has anyone else done this than I can read about?
considering the fact that you have done POP, I think that will be risky. The carpenters have to be extra careful not to crack it. Also the purlins spacing will have to be adjusted to 14 inches

This was me showing her daily progress report on the job. She didn't complain, she didn't ask single question. Na today I have finished working on the doors that she started telling me she was unaware.


The colors were chosen by her too. Everything from start to finish
there is a huge difference btw what she ordered and what she got. Finishing and attention to details has always been our problem.

Kindly assist with more suggestions. A decision is imminent.
the submersible pump is sold based on horsepower, the horsepower you should buy depends on the depth of the borehole and the quantity of water in the well. A 0.5hp pump can pump water to a distance of 50meters or more which should be ideal for you. installing a higher horsepower without sufficient water in the borehole will likely burn your pump. Interdap submersible pump is a good pump to buy and the 0.5hp is about 47-50k

My point is if I hired Baba Lati, which I do, then I monitor, which I do, to make sure they tie a line for every block course.

I’ll hire Spyder880 and co because I assume that they’ll do all that for me. Why would I hire AbdulWastecx and then start monitoring him, even though I can?

I write from a layman’s kobo kobo project standpoint, not building Dodan barracks with Solel Boneh or Capa DilBerto cheesy
From experience, your physical presence on the site cannot be over emphasize. you will be surprised what the architect will overlook because you are not present. things like monitoring the mix ratio, proper watering and compaction of the DPC, DPM laying etc. most of them have different projects so they leave the site and appoint a baba lati to take over
