^^^ we are many hear, by the time you start, just paste some pictures here and very experienced guys will give you reasonable insight into your project.

you are very correct my brother, before laying any stone let us know the quote you have been given so as to give our opinion.

beolar:
Hi, Mr spyder,actually i have 4m and wish to build a 3bedroom flat 1 master bedroom and two other rooms shares toilet and bath in ikorodu and pack in ,in 6 to 8 months time .
Sir can this money be enough .
Can you also act as a consultant for me on the project.

I believe 4m should give you something on a moderate side, i do advice you to start as soon as you can,as price of materials goes up often.

Fhemmmy:
Chief . . .  Next year, many things will be done different . . . . We could use the attached instead of what you have there.
If i have to ship this from here and have it in one of the vehicles i am shipping, could be delivered to Lagos for only 150K Naira . . . .But we surely gonna talk more about it . . . .have this on the list of "To get equipment"

@Fhemmmy
That's a nice effective piece of machine, but that means building cost will go up after you buy petrol and pay the guy that will use it.

buy couple of them ramming business don start be that.

Spyder

U don dey chop elephant? that thing looks like elephant trunk.

@ Am Alone

Great solid house man, you have really done very well.
You sure say you no want become contractor?

Nice compact swimming pool you have up there!

@ Sypder

How u dey? In response to your question above you be surprise that they do sell ready made lintel (not in 9ja o) at least i have not seen one , so what you need to do is build your lintel on ground in your propose metal plate and get some guy to get it up, how they will lift it na anoda thing.

Fhemmmy:
That is another idea . . . .But please if you have pix of sample work done like that, please post.

femmo this was done in London no pic was taken o. saw about it about 3 years ago.

Fhemmmy:
I am not sure if they have the way of doing it in Nigeria, [b]but there are surely some material that you could lay underneath the bricks that will prevent the weed from growing through . . .Also, once you have it, you could buy some chemical to control the weed and in a nation like Nigeria where house-helps are like 10 people for 10K you will be able to easily get someone dedicated to take care of the weed.

i think the interlock will make that house look cute.[/b]

very correct.

@ chaircover you can have concrete that looks interlocked , I have seen this done,where they pour the concrete then a metal plate with polygon design pressed on to make the shapes.

Fhemmmy:
Thigh is yours, but we will remove all the meat sha, before we hand it over to you oh . . . . .

Na so life be, i look like bingo to u?

Femmmy & co

@olubuffete et al, what is m&e, ?[/quote]M& E is Mechanical and Electrical, the drawings will include where wiring and plumbing will be located, fittings and connecting points.

It will go far but won't complete the project. I will start the main building and see how far it goes.

^^^ 40k! pay him, shake his hands and say thanks a lot. Then ask for the structural and m&e

spyder880:
Building a 4 bedroom house and a 5 bedroom house cannot be same cost, so which one are you planning for?

I don't think he can pull this one regardless of 4 or 5 bedrooms with 2 rooms bq and fence. haba bag of cement on be 1k.

^^^Amen.

Sypder, Great to see its almost done, more cash to your pocket. The God that start this will also finish it on time.

A timely article for those who need to know. I wonder where this guy is.

spyder880:
Where is Oga Fhemmmy, baba show face na

He dey busy with madam! you no say na weekend or where him dey na mid night.

Sypder
In response to your question, do builders make money on contract? yes they do, but you dey different, you dey always consider your clients resources.
look brabus having to pay more from his pocket to buy cement, how many builders will do that.

@ Ahonohai, I can only ask you to give him more time, most projects come across constraints and delivery date changes beyond ones control.

Barbus please hurry up deliver the project.

^^^ Well done!

[quote author=Ogbefi_007 link=topic=698906.msg9132077#msg9132077 date=1315847695]@olubuffete, I really don't get u my question is centered on weather I could pull tru with the limited fund or am I asking too from so little a budget?[/quote]Ans,

spyder880:
You can, especially if you know a bit about building and if you can haggle like a village woman buying pepper

[quote author=Ogbefi_007 link=topic=698906.msg9131976#msg9131976 date=1315846888]@spyder actually my last 2 comment was a question, I wanted to know from your experience if I could use 4million naira to build the down part of the story building (2flats downstairs) viz a viz decking the down part completely. After decking I will then concentrate on the first flat so I could move in to complete the next flat which will be rented eventually, then after recovering from this in furture, I will then start the upper part.

So my question is with a budget of 4million how far can I go ? Can I deck ? ( I already have the land )
Your usual advice will be treasured,[/quote]If you do it spyder's way you go buy wood for roof self.

^^^This is lovely, nice job.

lawyer:
@Agents

Thanks for all your responses. Keep it coming. This competition ends on Friday 14th of September 2011 and Nairalanders will now be given the opportunity to vote for their preferred choice for me to investigate and give you my reports and endorse if need be.

Cheers

De Law,

As the first few days was filled with distraction i beg give the agents one week extension; personally i don't think we have enough options to choose from.

@ Lawyer nice proposal.

ceah:
I am disappointed at Lawyer, Are you a Dream Stealer ?

Your supporters derailed this thread and she started another one where she cleared her name,

You cant even wait for 6 month, in a few weeks you already jumped into same project, i am absolutely disappointed in you. i dont comment much on nairaland but i read. i respect you so much but now i think you lost that respect i have for you , God Bless

I see two different project entirely, which can both survive on their own; it's like saying only on agent should advertise on NLand. The sky is too big for two birds to colide. Don't instigate

benimeogu:
My experience with local fabricated doors.
i installed one in 2006, by 2011, the painting have started to fade.
And i have noticed some rust coming up. i think the china doors are much better even though they are the same price or a little bit more in cost.
The local fabricated doors maybe durable , but the finishing is poor.

Is it that the local makers does not use rust free paint or could it be the paints are inferior.

the first one of 220k look sweet.
