somehow:
Let me say this, they take a long time before the allocate
Also takes time with series of rules before you are allowed to build.
They also try to frustrate you building independently.

Let me stop there. The reputation on paper is kind of different from when you become committed financially.

Nosa111:
Good morning everyone


Will 500k be enough to set a lintel for a 3bedroom flat and 2room self contain apartment? Both the cost of rod and wood inclusive.

Hi Bros, thanks for the comments on my house design. Please how can I contribute my quota to this great forum? - GG2002

Folorunsho15:
Thanks my Oga, this man gave me the confidence and the tools to negotiate with and the price range that's reasonable for both parties, I presented it and the guy didn't haggle much and we agreed. Respect sir

diordaves:
What if at the end of the day you are not happy with the cost structure of the approved contractor, what next? You forfeit the land? Do you have a choice or a voice in this matter?

somehow:
Why are your lands expensive with so many hidden charges apart from the dev, and survey fees?

InvertedHammer:

Why not do a market survey and source for the materials yourself. Then renegotiate his cost of supervision? You don't have to buy all the materials at once.

You may be advised to get a QS, a civil Engineer or one professional or the other and at the end of the day, you will spend a lot of money on professional fees without even a peg on the ground.

RavagedHeart:
Please, gentlemen in the house. I want to set up a small twin building. I made the design myself.
Now I want some breakdown on how much it would cost to finish this building.
I'd appreciate the quote to be in stages. (like: foundation, decking, block work, etc.)
...and again if there's any fault in my design (as I'm not an architect )

First image is the ground floor and the second is the first floor.

Anyone with those link can reply with the link thanks

sonnie10:
How many columns do you think a modest 4 bedroom duplex foundation would have? For those won’t you need the 16mm rod? I would assume it would have up to 20 - 25 columns.

Folorunsho15:
Guys egbami o. My contractor just gave me a bill of 4.8m for the foundation stage of a 4 bedroom duplex here in Ibadan. Just foundation stage alone. Does this make sense guys? Is this how expensive things have really become ni? Omo I shock no be small

sonnie10:
Depending on the soil type but a a dry stable land let just throw some figure around till German floor

2500 of 9” blocks at 230 = 575000 (Too much)
160 bag of cement at 3400 =544000
80 pieces of 16mm at 7200 =576000 (For what exactly on a dry and stable land. He does not need up to 30 lengths for foundation work).
100 piece of 12mm at 4400 = 440000 (Fair enough, maybe for DPC but I'd do hardcore and BRC instead)
50 pieces of 8mm at 2200 = 110000 (Again, this is too much. Budget half for the 7 x 7 rings)
60 tons of stone clippings 260k x 2 = 520k
Sharp sand 200k (Too much)
Filling sand 200k
Planks and other wood 200k (For what exactly? 100k will do here.
Binding wire 50k (Now this is too ridiculous! Budget 10k max.)
Bag of nails 30k (Too much! Budget half bag of 3 inches nail and maybe few measures of 4 inches)
Water 30k
Dig foundations 100k
Mason to Set 2400 block = 120000
Iron bender 50k
Carpenter 30k
Other labours 50k
Supervision 300k
Transportation of materials 50k
Total 4,175,000

kopell:
Nah so ooo, it’s may take even more then 2 decades. Lekki epe is a good example. But don’t let us lose hope, do you see what is happening in shagamu interchange recently. That country is unpredictable

kopell:
Hooo the one am referring to is costal Road abi? Where that road will links to then, if at all is still in Lagos state master plan. Any new info in that regard.

Larwin:
Most people would ve completed building, neglecting the bearing capacity of the soil before carrying out geo-technics. They do this for cover ups, maybe for approval purposes or its on demand.

Some engineers don't even open up fully to the geologist/ geotechnical engineers on the scope of the building, a bid to reduce cost for the investigation and this will definitely reduce the scope of work to be carried out.

These are major issues in Lagos which every builders need to look into in other to reduce settlement or collapse.
