2Bedroom Twin Bungalow

These designs look very nice in deed, can you provide more details of the first design (twin two bed bungalow) in terms of the other rooms in each apartment? Also any idea of ball park figure to do a low cost build on non-swampy land?

Thank you

Dear nairalanders,

I looking to start this project by the end of the month and need reputable contractors that can design and build small 2 bedroom, sitting room, kitchen, bathroom and toilet on a standard plot of land. Looking for quotations with stage payments built in. Would appreciate any contributions of suggested reputable contractors who will deliver to budget and on time.

I have been browsing this forum for a while and I'm aware of certain reputable contractors and welcome their input.

Back to the original post, can anyone help pointing in the direction of reputable building contractors as from those above. Thank you.

Whats the Size of Your Land ?

Sorry for delayed response, it's been a long day. The land is approximately 17 by 25 metres.

EgunMogaji:
In reality, a house can be completed in 3 to 6 weeks if the soil is good, money is on hand, not rainy period, stars are in alignment, etc.

If you have time, watch some builds done by Spyder880 https://www.nairaland.com/spyder880, he has perfected the ability to raise 3, 4, 5 floors seemingly overnight.

I'm approaching retirement and will spend it doing small estates (4 to 6 houses) in Western states. My time is now spent on creating business plans which include timeframes. I have been doing some calculations on how fast one can build a good and safe house. If the groundworks in the estate has been done and the build pad is already set then I see no reason why a 2,500 square feet house can't be finished in 5 weeks. Of course on paper

I think the reliability of artisans and labourers can be limiting factor, I suspect the ability to complete projects on time and on budget is going to ball down to relationships between all the professionals brought to a project and the money being on hand to keep the project going till completion.

I hope to see your dreams materialise and potentially being a part of it.

Nice Job! I can see you don't compromise in terms of quality! your projects are sure to stand the test of time . more gress to your elbow.

I concur with this, well done Engineer

Re: I just like to reward good guys .

Thank you I've just been browsing another of his ongoing builds and I'll look this one up. Thank you for pointing me in his direction.

The one I was browsing and the one you were suggesting are the one and same build. It's going up really fast

AreaFada2:
Good. I planned such a project in Ogun too.

I had to abandon it after foundation & German floor. Because I am not impressed by how the person handling it has been doing it. Not quality widse, but he likes to do it piecemeal. That way you can never know how much will complete it. More chance to inflate prices.

You know our people easily get offended and call you ungrateful when you scrutinize their work.

I understand and this process surely teaches one patience. I hope you find the right contractor to complete things for you.

EgunMogaji:
No problem, we are all in this together.

At the risk of offending other very worthy builders, I highly recommend Darenyx https://www.nairaland.com/darenyx. He did my architectural plan. Just an all-around pleasant person to deal with and a true professional. A young person with modern viewpoints, timely and in my opinion very cost effective. I am a twice paying customer and not a paid advertising. I just like to reward good guys .

You have a great opportunity to follow his latest build at https://www.nairaland.com/4333870/building-one-small-house-design which is a smaller house too but a double story one.

Re: I just like to reward good guys .

Thank you I've just been browsing another of his ongoing builds and I'll look this one up. Thank you for pointing me in his direction.

Nice work going on here, thank you for the lots of pictures to carry us all along.

Those are pillar positions

Very interesting design, the overshoot of roof to front and side I suppose is merely cosmetic and there is no usable space in the roof voids right?

Your name came up for my project below, can you help?

AreaFada2:
Please let the quotation be made here so that we can all learn from it. Not "pm me" or "send me you email" type.

Thanks.

I would love this actually but the objective is to get this completed and if sharing this here will hinder that then it's a no-brainer

EgunMogaji:
I'm not a professional builder, just an "enthusiastic" owner that is playing General Contractor on his own private build

Skimanksi - https://www.nairaland.com/skimanski

Skimanski builds USA quality level houses but not sure if he does small builds. It will be outstanding is you and him can work something out. We need to "add new dimension to Ibadan Architecture"

Ma bad, got the wrong end of the stick somehow but thank you for enlightening me and more importantly contributing to my getting some answers here.

Thank you for the skimanski lead and hope something can come out of it.

EgunMogaji:
In random order

Darenyx
Kolashangone
Abdulwastecx

This might be below Skimanski build quantity (perception) and Spyder880 doesn’t do Ibadan (yet).

Good luck on your project.

Thank you Sir,

I guess your response also rules you out as I thought you did Ibadan

Who is Skimanski please i.e. profile name.

Thank you

The kind of thinking that will keep the country in recession....

Does anyone understand which economic factors that need to be in place to bring the country out of recession at all?

Hmm, per the man is on top of the South African pyramid and stands to make a lot of money from everyone joining.
