spyder880:
I think we better take it stage by stage, this foundation stage till the DPC is cast with perimeter reinforcement will cost a total of N2.2 million for everything, all materials, labor and supervision/site management.

Spyder,
Please what is the area of land in square meter, that this foundation is sitting on?
Thanks.

spyder880: Note that all the rods we are using for this foundation are Y16

This is the grade of foundation I call "THE BOYS ARE NOT PLAYING FOUNDATION" .
Oga Spyder, pls does Y16 mean 16mm rod
And I noticed that the trenches for the column basket are deeper than the other trenches. Pls how deep is this

spyder880: Yes, roofing wood works including ceiling noggins inside all the rooms. But installation of PVC ceiling boards is not covered in the N40k agreed.

Thanks very much and God bless.

spyder880: Ok okay ok

all roofing wood, termites treatment is about N 160k
roofing labour is about N40k
roofing sheets, transportation and installation N350k
Supervision N50k

Total N600k

Oga Spyder,
Good work. Sorry for taking you back to this labour cost of a thing.
Please, does the N40k roofing labour cost include the wood work for the ceiling inside the house
Thanks for the response.

spyder880: Here we go. ...... roofing sheets completed.

Neatly and professionally delivered just as expected.

Oga Spyder, please still waiting for the labour and material cost breakdown for the roofing.
Thanks.

spyder880: More from the outside.

Oga Spyder,

This is lovely. Keep up the good work and more of God's blessings to your hand work.

spyder880: Blaming myself for everything, and I have a supervisor go with them to the factory.

Oga Spyder,
Very sorry about that; I guess another lesson learned. Written communication is definitely the best inorder to achieve effective communication as it provides a good reference just incase the first message/instruction is misunderstood or forgotten...... (sounding like one English Prof now )

Please Oga Spyder, kindly post the Material and Labour cost of the roofing (both nogging and roof installation) of this house. I am doing something like this in Lagos.
Thanks and more of God's blessings to your work.

spyder880: We are already making concerted efforts to ensure that the completion of this house is as smooth and superlative as the others, I will be testing designs of different finishes from windows and doors to POP and painting, tiles and fence details. Our client here can choose from our wide array of designs.

How do you like these painting combination , we are also planning to build the pictured one storey gate house where the security personnel could have a sweeping view of the compound and the surroundings.

This is definitely a Senior gate house. I guess it is for an Executive security gateman ......Well done Mr Spyder.

Marpol: Is this tiles shop in Owerri? And can you give us the prices?

And pls Oga Spyder, include the address/market where they sell them in Owerri.
Thanks.

Blue Mountain1: Learning - Put - In - Action:

Discharging Second Batch load of 25 tonnes.
Actually, after this second truck has been fully loaded and reweighed, it returned 19.77 Tonnes.
So here, for an uninformed client, he will feel that a 'FULL' load was supplied to him after having paid for 25 tonnes, while in actual fact, these trucks do not contain the 25 tonnes they often claim to carry.

So, will the entire class join me in saying thank you to Oga Spyder for helping us know the difference in the sizes of these trucks and the capacity of what they can truly carry.

Summary:

1. Intention to use the granite.
2. Approach a granite crushing company.
3. Make sure you are not stopped at the gate. Claim you have an appointment with the Site manager.
4. This will give you the advantage of seeing first hand the price list of the various product sizes.
5. Get their bank account details and make your payment in accord with the desired quantity.
6. Not to worry. These companies do have dedicated individual accounts for clients, such that if you are not able to carry all your products at once, you can always come for it at any other time. You can even use the balance (cash value) to buy any other size in the future.
7. You can see that i did pay for 50 tonnes of number 4 @ N 4515:00 but was only able to carry a sum total of 43.63 tonnes.
8. The cash value balance will be used to purchase Number 5 size @ N 4,300:00 per tonne in the future.
9. Negotiate / make arraignment for a truck that will carry your product.
10. At the gate , register and collect the truck's gate pass.
11. Approach the weighing bridge to ascertain the weight of your truck without the loaded products. Not the format of the weighing scale.
12. It is calibrated in Kg;
13. 1,000 kg = 1 Metric tonne.
14. Proceed to have your truck loaded and pay N 200:00 to the pay loader guy and hand in to him the gate pass as his record of what he loaded for the day.
15. The loaded truck goes back to be reweighed.
16. If you are satisfied, then the leveler will go up for a fee of N 200:00 to tidy the load so that it does not fall off the truck. the will also put a tarpaulin over it.
17. Next is to settle Local Government, Union, and other statutory fee of N 5,100:00. All are receipted.
18. If your face is the approachable type, there are other 'settlings' that may come your way.
19. Happy buying.

My brother,
Thanks very much for sharing this your first-hand experience at the quarry. Pls can you explain more about how you negotiated with the delivery truck owners as regards cost of transportation from quarry to your site. This will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks again.

spyder880: We plan to start topping the lintels with blocks in preparation of the parapet. I am already making plans to start buying parapet materials as from this weekend. We are moving, but we need to move faster here.

Oga Spyder,
I'm really enjoying the progress on this job; considering your other commitment in PH. Please, where in Owerri can I get a cement depot that can supply a trailer load of cement for my project. I will greatly appreciate your assistance on this.
thanks.

Afam4eva: People are complaining of their exorbitant price with little value and they're still increasing it. I can't wait for Tinubu's own cable to kick off.

Tinubu investing in cable TV in Nigeria won't be a bad idea. At least, this will create employment in Naija. Better than the foolish ones who take all the money abroad.

spyder880: full view, but few work will need to be done to polish this great effort.

Truely, Spyder you are unrivalled in this building section. Lovely design........continue the good works.

..............GEJ dangling 2015 carrot for Nigerians to jump on

spyder880: We did more works, plastering the parapet fascia work.

.......Spyder, it looked like the parapet was made and plastered with POP. Good job and may God bless the works of your hands.

spyder880: We did more works, plastering the parapet fascia work.

?.........

spyder880: you will be surprised at the wide variety of tiles

Oga Spyder,
Which type of tiles are these? Are they the ceramic tiles or .......?

Already subscribed to this one. Good Job, Spyder

spyder880: There seems to be better quality stones from Abia-Ebonyi (Lokpanta, Lokpauku, Ishiagu etc) The prices vary according to quality and distance.

Thank you Oga Spyder,

Please, What is the price for size 3, 4 and 5 granite from these areas.

Thanks again.

spyder880: The first trip of chipping stones arrives.

Oga Spyder well done,
You said you got your stones from Abia State. Why?? Is it cheaper or higher quality there and please how much is it? I will be needing some trips in Owerri. Please your response will be greatly appreciated.

If it were only Nigerians in the world, with some of the comments about Spyder's project in PH, I doubt if man would have been able to invent bicycle, talkless of going to the moon.
Spyder, remain focused. Some of us believe in your abilities and sound judgement.

It is definitely hard in this environment for someone to break new grounds with so much negativity. Spyder has challenged the norm and has planned this project to be 8.8m. Just because you built a bungalow with 15m does not mean another with better prudence in spending cannot do something better and standard at a lesser cost. Enough of the negativity and discouragement.
Spyder, my word for you is to make your plans prudently and ensure you carry out your plans ensuring that a standard and good quality job is done. You are definitely a pace-setter.
Wish you the best.

Goddex: No Sir, not life president but he must finish his two terms for peace to reign in Niger Delta that is what Kuku is saying. The present conspiracy of our Jihadist Buhari and Tinubu to take control of the Niger Delta oil could ignite a terrible unrest.

And who told you that every president of Nigeria has to do two terms in office even when he is a gross failure. ....Truely, this is a threat well garnished with blackmail and Nigerians will never go along with this rubbish.

spyder880: On dry land the quote is too much (without DPC), target to spend about N1.1m at most without the German floor for the flats and N650k at most for the duplex. But in the end every site is not the same, are there factors which may have informed this hike in anyway?

Hi Oga Spyder,

Please how is foundation digging and excavation calculated for a dry ground? How can we negotiate for labour; per block or project stage? I am about embarking on almost the same project as above and your response will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Bros,
Please about the cost of plastering, does it include both the inside and outside as well?
Your response will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I really feel sorry for the Nigerian Lady. this is what happens when we Nigerians are in a mad rush to go oversea for the greener pastures. We finance the UK economy with our visa fees, student fees as so- called international students, pay excessive and outrageous bills all in the bid to be in a foreign country; and what do we get for these - insults and abuses. This maybe known publicly because it was caught on camera. There are thousands of such cases that missed the camera. Until we force our leaders to be serious and stop wasting our God given resources and together we seek to build our country, so long will we live with no respect and dignity in the face of people we live in their country as foreigners.......God Blessed Nigeria .
