Chekitaut: Call 08055558500

I really don't know if I should say dis but is it proper, this Chekitaut guy crashing into my thread with all dis advert? Just saying...... Cos its always easy starting a new thread for advert so y crash into others?........Just wondering.

mufutau55: OK. Got it. Not bad price for Sliding either.. I think I want a TOWER Casement.. about double the price of Sliding in all sizes.
Does the windows all comes with the installed frame charge together in your mentioned price?
I think I may just go with the "Chekitaut" guy, unless I find a better price and quality. Thanks.

Hajji Mufutau

Yes it does. I also do consulting services, so if u require my help for any thing pertaining building and construction, I can definitely give u a better price nd a better quality......08035757416 or muyiwaolakunde@rocketmail.com. Do contact me if u require my services at any level.

mufutau55: Muyesky, can you please post the pictures of the windows.
And also is this Imported and TOWAL?
And Casement or Sliding windows?
Please I am looking to do windows for my project now and that price is reasonable if it is Casement window.
Thank you.

Mufutau

I only av the window frame installed. I specifically asked the installer to hold on a while so I'll fix the window immediately after painting. Its tower nd its sliding nd not casement. A typical casement wld generally cost more.

sucessful1: Hello my broda,
Nice thread,pls bros where did u buy yr Aluminium windows and is it imported or tower?

Pls, ignore the price i quoted for the aluminium window, that was an error, I actually paid 10k each for them (4x4)

I am about to start this on my project too.. Thanks.

jerryben12: Muyesky, thank you for this thread. Please kindly provide the labor cost for doing the whole plastering work (inside and outside). Also, what was the cost of labor you paid to the guy that did the designs around the windows and the stripe boundaries on the stone tiles? Will the guys that did the plastering be interested in working in Owode Onirin before Ikorodu? I will provide them with accomodation and three square meals daily. I am not forgetting beer, gin and wine .

Additionally;
1. How much did you pay for the installation of the PVC (labor cost)?
2. How much was each door frame?

Thank you!

Thanks a lot, i actually paid 40k for the installation of the PVC and 14k for each complete door with frame. The boys can work anywhere in Nigeria as long as the price is okay. All you need to let me know how soon you intend to start. The wine ofcourse ia an added incentive which they can never ignore

[quote author=Area-Fada]Mr Muyesky, no abandon your thread o! Abi you done go holiday for Miami after hard work on this house?

We still need your inspiration.

I have got a quotation of 4k for the same tiles you bought for 2k300. But mine is in South-South. I need about 60sqm of fascial tiles, so it will be much. I am considering sending someone to Lagos to buy both the fascial, wall and floor tiles. Maybe even PVC (if I don't use POP)at the same time when I am ready. The price difference is too big.

The floor & wall tiles you are using/going to use, how much per square metre?

Thanks.[/quote]Well, tanx a lot brother. i didnt abandon my thread o! av just been busy of late with work jare. Abi, i have to work to get more money to complete the building naa! . Well, as per your request, please do give me a call then we can discuss further on what form of help i can render, 08035757416 is my number.

tunde57: Once again thanks for your wonderful enlightenment, I have since copied your burglary proof but my welder is insisting that the material used and produced for N4,500.00 is 3/4 inch square pipe and not 1 inch pipe. He is claiming that the cost of the burglary proof made with 1 inch square pipe could only be produced at N5,000.00.
Please kindly confirm the size of the square pipe so that I will know that he is not trying to rip me off.
Best Regards

1 inch pipe was used for me, that I can tell u authoritatively but if he insists on 5k and u trust his hand work then give it to him. The essence of this forum is to give a price range and also guide against unnecessary rip off but you can always expect a slight or unnoticed price variation.....at the end of the day, we all require very quality work that is reasonably priced............all the best.

payless: I have been saying this for so long that we over build in Nigeria with most of these pillars and German floors that are so common in even bungalows. We tend to waste money unnecessarily.

That is the essence of this forum, to enlighten and make us realize that simplicity is key. Fresh air even encourages it, so you really have a point my brother. I have saved a lot thus far............thanks

[quote author=Area-Fada].

I certainly have lots of things to spend money on......it's good to seek advice from many sources. I have already saved quite a bit of money by taking my time to make enquiries so far.

I think we overbuild houses in Naija. From elaborate pillars that serve no real function to all kind of tacky additions.
That's what I like about the simple but functional design of your house.[/quote]Thanks a lot.........inspiration is everything. I gathered lots of them from this forum it enabled me fashioned out a design that will not cut deep into my pocket. I have many friends that paid heavily for very complex designs without considering the cost effect and as at today, I have gone way past them evn though they've spent more than I have just cos of flashy pointless designs. I simply learned to cut my coat according to my material.

[quote author=Area-Fada]@muyesky,

My builder is recommending metal doors throughout the house. This should start after Easter God willing. But is there any real advantage of metal doors inside the house? The internal doors should be about 16 or so, not sure until I have a look at the plan again.[/quote]Why would you need metal doors throughout the house? Never heard of or seen that........unless you are actually trying to build a vault or a strong room. Believe me, it has no advantage at all..........once again, never heard of it but you could be the first but please find other reasonable avenues to channel your hard earned cash........just a piece of advise.

euromilion: Windows 5k?.
Pls where did u buy ur windows?

My bad!!!!!! I actually meant 8.5k.......so sorry about the confusion for each window with net.

tunde57: Thanks alot for sharing your experience and progress of your buitiful house. I am also constructing a two flats of one three & one two bedrooms at Abeokuta and I have just got to the roofing stage which I am yet to embark upon. However, I plan to use Asbestos Roofing Sheets due to some constraints and go for the Amoula PVC Ceiling Strips.
Could you please confirm if you sourced the PVC Ceiling Installer yourself or was he recommended by Amoula. And secondly, could you please let me know how much you paid for the 4ft Entrance Door and how much a complete Aluminium window is costing for one standard room window, also what type of doors are you intending to use internally and what is the cost per one complete door with frame.
Thanking you for your anticipated response, and please pardon me if I have asked so many questions at one time as I dont reside in Naija and I am thinking of comming home in June to choose and decide what internal fixtures that would be used and do whatever I can before returning to my base in the UK. Futhermore, could please link me with the PVC installer if he is willing to go and work in Abeokuta.
Kind Regards

Pvc guy was recommended by amoula and yes, he travels to even as far as the north to install so Abeokuta is a stone throw. The front entrance door cost 45k, a complete wondow aluminium with net(4ft x 4ft)will be 5k then u multiply by the numbers of windows you have. Internally, I have 10 doors nd the frame already installed for them is mahogany wood so that's what I will be using to complete them, each door at the rate of 12k, but there are cheaper ones depending on your taste and quality. When ever you are ready, the PVC guy will be on standby. Thanks

Schynam: Congrats. But what are some of the things you listed in your receipts?


Schnapps?
Ojagba?
Family?

In doing the proper estimate of a building, certain things aree always overlooked but when you sum them together, they tend to matter a lot financially.
Schnapps: I actually bought some for the land owners for prayers while working.

Ojagba: aka wood binder, that's what is used to bind the roofing wood to the building itself for tightness and firmness. Every house carries it.

Family: some unaccounted for money spent or given to the land owners, u really cannot escape things like this once in a while. Its all for the greater good.

I hope this answers your questions?

mufutau55: Thanks Muyesky. I know they will use planks all that too.. I just wasn't sure if they also use iron. My duplex has already past the foundation level,
they have laid few coaches of blocks past the foudation.. but they never did the German floor, I was told it could be done later. The german floor for
the Boy's Quarter was done and since I was not in Nigeria everything was done in my absence, so I never really get to see how some things are
done, that is why I am learning from here. One of the disadvantage of being in diaspora. I will see if I can get the photo of the level of
the duplex and post it here.. I am taking my time in doing this building as fund is not that available, too many projects.. Thank you.

Mufutau

The photos is posted below.. the Duplex is the inmcoplete one and the BQ iis the completed one at the back and will be roofed in two weeks.
I will be coming home to complete the Duplex to Lintel level soon, then comes the big money of Decking... (this is the only best picture I have)

Well done bro, the important thing is that u got it started and that will definitely put your mind towards its completion. Its a journey of many miles but just like you, I have taken the first step. Once again, congrats and hope to see the completion soon.............very soon.

payoski: Pls my brother I have been tying to post my floor plant for every one to see, so how did u post yours by scanning or how?

You have to scan it first and the size of ur scan will definitely be very large so, you have to reduce the size and make sure it does not exceed 200kb, then u can paste.

mufutau55: @Muyesky
What materials are needed for German Floor? Is iron needed at all.. or it's just sand and cement? Please explain in details.
Thanks.

Hajji Mufutau

Yes, iron is definitely needed. It serves to hold the foundation together. Infact, a lot is needed. You also need planks too but then I can't really tell u how much cos I don't even know what your plan looks like.

mufutau55: Thank you Muyesky, you have been of great help. For some of us buidling houses from abroad, the estimates
are very valuable to guard from scam or ripoffs. Thanks a lot.

Mufutau

I am really so happy and proud to have followers like you guys. All I really need right now is prayers.......there is still more work to be done: tiling, fencing, electrical fittings, painting etc. With God by my side, I hope to achieve these in no time, so u cld all come eat rice with me during the house warming.

euromilion: Thnx bro,
I tried googling Allahu for d roofing,but they seemed not to have website,.I wanted to call them first b/4 sending someone there because am not in 9ja to do it myself.,

Thnx again.

mufutau55: How many strips of the PVC was required for the whole house or per room of how many feet?
Thanks.

Mufutau

The house is 40ft x 40ft and I used a total of 110 strips of the PVC. Thanks

mufutau55: Thanks. How much did you pay for this 2x2ft window guards?
