My advice for you is to first educate yourself about investing(check out this app on android or iOS Learn: Stock Market Investing). Make sure you have a 'rainy" day fund. Thereafter invest(not trade) in the stock market. Try and reinvest your dividend. Investing in the stock market is the easiest way to build wealth when you don't have the time to manage your investment yourself. So be careful of investing in business that you can't manage by yourself.Wealth building takes time so give yourself time to build it. Below is a screen grab of my current portfolio

1. I can help you to be redesign at no cost just send the sketch of the Land to me but if you insist on using this plan the following points are to be known

a. The lobby is too long and there is no hope that there will be introduction of lightning.
b. the third room can be cross ventilated also you can still generate the third conveniency and visitors toilets
c. the location of the entrance is not pleasing except if there is a good reason locating it tear the site plan will speak volume on that.
d. the circulation look zig zag

2 Pillars can be avoided in bungalows if the soil is good and the blocks are strong with good workmanship. better still if you can afford buying iron rod please include it in the building is going to help.

3. without working drawing you can't get the cost of the substructure. From experienced average of 800 blocks, 11 bags for raising of the blocks. 170k workmanship from digging to raising of the 800 blocks etc

There's plan to develop the back of the building later, hence no additional windows in the back rooms. No interest in other fancy additions like anteroom, foyer, visitors toilet.

Experienced engineers resident in Benin city can drop their honest and quotes based on above information and I'll reach out so we can commence immediately.

Including transport (350k)

Shelled

There's handpicked which is shell-free (350k/ton) and there's water-washed which contains 10-15% shell (320k/ton).

He won’t have the autocad file because he stole the design from me and refused to pay me for my work. I have the autocad file as i write. This man is not even ashamed to upload a stolen property which i can get him jailed for.

@op I blame myself for trusting you by sending you the design thinking you will be noble enough to fulfill your part meanwhile you are a very dishonest fellow. You want to eat your cake and have it. If you are too broke to contract a professional then why are you online seeking for help. Go to site find a bricklayer and do it yourself then. THIEF!!!

We are just completing a 3 bedroom bungalow where we intend to move the contents of this house into. We have to move out all the properties before demolishing the old house.

Our next task is to determine the quantity of Granite and Sand needed for the project.

The goal of this tutorial is to estimate majorly materials without attaching cost to it, so the best practice is to buy enough granite and sand that would be most economical.

I have several writeups on how to calculate quantities of granite and sand already, you can refer to any of the link below (rather than repeat the process again.)

>> https://www.nairaland.com/5818635/estimating-cost-fencing-6-plots
>> https://www.nairaland.com/6808100/part-3-building-comfortable-housing

At this stage; I'll advice that we purchase a minimum of 15 tonnes of granite and 20 tonnes of sharp sand. This should take us to the German floor level of the project. (i.e. Foundation, block setting and German floor) SINCE the structure is being built on a firm land.

The next step is to determine how many blocks are needed for the foundation.

1.04 - Blockworks.

Block to foundation are those blocks that are beneath the German floor i.e. from the Foundation to the German floor level, each roll of block is called a course, when you lay another roll on that one, it becomes 2 courses etc.

Best practice subject to the land slope, is to have a minimum of 4 courses of block in the foundation - and where you must have more than 4, then you'll need to introduce structural elements like columns and beams etc. but we only need 4 courses here.

So, how many blocks do we need for this design? (Foundation blocks are expected to be 9 inches)

RECALL OUR GIRTH > 104.065m

what's the length of the block you're using? here it is 450mm (long) by 225mm (wide) and 225mm (high) = 0.45 x 0.225 x 0.225 in meters.

How many numbers of blocks is needed to make up the distance of our girth? = 104.065m / 0.45m

Therefore number of blocks needed for 1 course is = 230 pcs and since we are building 4 courses in our foundation;

we have: 230 pcs x 4 courses = 920 blocks (there would be a few breakage; so we can estimate for 950 numbers of blocks)

CEMENT needed to lay 950 nos of 9 inches blocks

Remember we already advised to buy 20 tonnes of sand, that can take the project to German floor level, so we would only calculate for cement needed now.

Normally:

1bag of cement would set about 40pcs for 9" blocks
1 bag of cement would set about 60pcs for 6" blocks

OR

0.0250 bag of cement would set 1 number of 9" block
0.0167 bags of cement would set 1 number of 6" block

if you apply the formula above; we have 920 blocks / 40 (since its 9" we're using) = 23 bags - (I used 920, not 950 because the actual needed is 920, the 30 nos added was for waste and incase any block was broken before use)

Lets use the other method.
if 0.025 bag = 1 block
then 920 blocks is:

920 x 0.025 = 23 bags of cement

which ever method you remember is ok.
