Does the security house have toilet/bathroom and kitchen?

What is the cost for building the security house?

spyder880:


About N700 to N800k, all materials and labor.

WOW, THANKS!!!
That is about one fifth of what I was quoted. And the size is about the same as this building going off your plan drawing.

Removal of the decking wood starts.........

Men, I love the way you used beams to support that decking without pillars in the centre despite the big sizes of the space. I hate seeing columns in the middle of the living room.

There are some pillars that add beauty to the space. It gives the the interior some medieval (this house is a contemporary design and does not need it)look and complements the exterior ones.. if my living room space is that big, I would deliberately ask for pillars to be mounted strategically.

Completing this lintel cast........

Around the house today.........

About N700 to N800k, all materials and labor.

From excavation to laying of the concrete bed?

One very painful thing that has become almost a culture here.... building a "security house"
I wonder when it became a nearly compulsory feature.

For people who dont spend all their days in their houses, the security man post is ideal for the protection of the main building. This is because it will help keep the presence of a security man who will be patrolling the grounds and keeping intruders away from the property.

More pictures of our work from the top...........

More

The front, and the back of the house.........

There has been some small delays about the procurement of the right materials I need for this beam. But I finally bought it yesterday and will start working with it today.

Still working on the security post lintels and block levelling........

Good work Spider! Any idea what Y16 Rods cost now?

You are very right

We are doing an H beam for the front of this building, we are planning build it to look like this

Some other beams in the other side of the front.

We brought in some bamboo for the scaffolding works in this house, work is in progress........

Scaffolding and other works will continue here today, more pictures later.

We will move straight ahead to the parapet and roofing of this house immediately we are done with the beams. We have even bought the roofing tiles and stored them to escape the inflation currently happening in the country. We will use black roofing tiles, pyramid shaped roof.

Scaffolding works in this house today........

On the upper terrace........

Fence caps, other works........

coming up very nice....
