spyder880: It is called "partition" not dimension. A partition is usually 12ft of wall space. I pay N1500 per partition and pay N2000 for each partition if he will pay his server after the day. I have a plastering budget of N450,000 for this duplex on this thread, (all materials and labour, up and down plus pararet plastering.)I am still asking my Oga to upgrade the amount for us.any pictures for us?

mufutau55: Forgot to tell you that the "Carpenter's Labor Pay of 90,000 Naira" is for both Wood (Nogging) and the Aluminum work.
The guy did both because he is very knowledgeable on all roofings and all carpentry works.

mufutau55: Yeah! I like the term Spyder880 used for the Quarters (MENS QUARTER). My MQ may be bigger than yours, not sure.
I sent you an email thru nairaland.. if you send me your actual email we can compare the floorplan.

Below are the cost brokendown into pices (Woods, Aluminum and Labor):
BQ Roofing Expenses - Materials and Labor

150 pcs of 2x4x12 = 73,500
100 pcs of 2x3x12 = 39,000
16 pcs of Facing Board = 25,600
40 pcs of 2x2x12 = 15,000
Planning and Cutting = 2,400
Nails for Wood = 6,200
Oja Agba = 3,600 =========>>> Blades for tying wood down to the building lintel
2 Gallons of Solignum = 8,000
25 Litres of Kerosine = 3,000
Transport for Wood = 7,000
Omo Onile = 50,000 ===============>>> This may not concern you there.(Ogun/Lagos is problematic with this)
Omo Onile Drinks = 3,500 ===============>>> This may not concern you there.(Ogun/Lagos is problematic with this)
Carpenter's Labor Pay = 90,000
316m of .55mm Aluminum = 363,500
Aluminum Nail = 12,000
Transport for Aluminum = 10,000

TOTAL = 712,300.00

mufutau55: @Spyder880 and Jites
Where are the pictures of completed and roofed Boys and Mens Quarters?

spyder880: Let me not talk too much about the quantities as I did not measure this house to see what the quantities should be like, but the unit prices seems high to me, especially in Delta state where we have more wood than Enugu.
Another thing is the 'tie rods', there is no type of tie rods you can use in a BQ or even bungalow that will cost more than N10k. Welldone, expecting to see pictures of work progress soon.

Fhemmmy: The best way to make your dreams come true is to wake up.

spyder880: Solignum sells for N2500 per tin and 2 tins will be enough to treat the wood for the size of your BQ.

mufutau55: Yes. I was refering to the BQ. Do you have the finished photo of this BQ when it was completed and roofed with the poultry?
Can you please post the photo. I will surely appreciate it. Also one of the BQ is posted below.

I also saw a floor plan of a 4-Bedroom Bungalow you posted in a thread, the plan you made a joke that you can also draw.
Have you built the said 4-Bedroom Bungalow.. if so, can you link me to the same thread/project where you posted your usual
photos while completing it. I reposted the plan below. Thank you.

Mufutau

mufutau55: Yes. The one being discussed above in this thread, that has some empty space on the side..
I will also send you some email, I am looking for some floor plan for a bungalow.
Thank you.

@Steel5800, my email is nabaruma@yahoo.com and I would be happy if we can share our experiences. Our farm is around Darmanawa area close to Hassan Gwarzo Sec School. You are always welcom.

@Marco-P: our farm size is 1200sq feets; We had 2 course of block work and the placed the net on top as u can see (around 220 blocks)

Always multiply the value of 1,060 (and might reach 1,200 because it depends on so many factors) by the number of your birds. That should be the cost to raise a single bird to the point-of-lay. You can also use the 7.2KG (up to 20th week)to calculate just the feed to the point of lay per each bird. But notes that these values may varies depending on the so many factors.
See my reply above for the cost to raise them up to 6 weeks.

For 514 birds we bought a total of 20 bags of feeds to 6th weeks. For the first 6th weeks each bird would consume 1.314KG (max) of feeds. Use that to calculate for 210.

We are running a Depp Litter system for now just for the sake of experience. You would get to see the store when I upload the pic. The cost was around 40K-50K (Inclusive of attendent room).

This is how we arried at N1,060 per bird: feeds + medication + labour + transport (operational costs)+ 10% fixed cost. The fixed is the cost of building and materials needed by the birds.

Lets try to communicate via the forum instead of email so as to keep the information for others.

I tried to upload the pictures but had some challenges (timed out error). Can some1 help please?

THANKS

Niiade: lovely work sir, what is the cost implication on the building as it stand now. well done

ussyman: I have followed dis thread with keen interest and I must say I hv gained alot so far! However, i would like to contribute my little experience, which I know might go a long way.

Our farm is situated in Kano and on 16 Nov 2012 we stucked 514 day-old layers (Zartech brand)and presently at their 14th week dis week. Fortunately for us the mortality rate has been and is still at 1.3% which I believe is excellent for starters like us. We however had to put alot of effort to source for every available info to help us have a good production. We have religiously follow the vacine/medication schedule given to us by the hatchery and that I believe has contributed alot this success so far. We have had outbreak of two disaeses (CRD,& Concidasis)which were promplty dealed with because we were abled to noticed them early.

Apart from an experience Vet Doctor we also have consultants some of them online while few of them are farm owners themselve assisting us with relevant info and advice. In this kind of business you need to ride on other ppl experience especially if you are a novice.

Following the thread I observed most ppl have challenges with getting the right statictics that would help them make informed decision before starting their own. Therefore, find below some of the data extracted from the record of our farm of rearing 514 layer birds (we currently have 507 birds at 14th week):

1. We spent approximately 300K-400K for the chicken pen of 800 birds(our present capacity). Remember this is just for the penhouse, no other building cost like pencing.
2. Each adult bird require 2.5 square feet of space
3. 20 bags of feed was used for 1st 6 weeks in the farmhouse.
4. 65 bags used for the 1st 11 weeks
5. Each birds would require 7.2KG of feeds to reach Point-of-Lay (statictics that has so far tally with our records). So you can calculate yours based on your number of birds.
6. Each birds would cost an approximately N1,060 at Point-Of-Lay (this statictics is based on the our viability report target and has so far tally with our record). These include feeding, medication, labour and transport. This I believe may vary base on your location in Nigeria (due to cost of living and cost of labour).

I would be glad to share picture of my farm from inception to date if required.
