I just paid N100K for 10 tons of granite in Ibadan. I paid N74K about a month ago.

Good luck to those starting new builds. We’ve entered into new territory.

I paid 208,000 for 30t (plus 5,000 extra for bad road) that was on Tuesday.

On Friday, I heard its now around 250,000.

Hello builders, I am looking for a quote for plastering of my 4 unit of 2 bedroom flats in port harcourt. I will also like a qoute for the doors and casement window with burglary proof. See attached picture of building. If you are in port harcourt reach out to me. Honesty with integrity is very important. If you are not do not even dare else you will be thrown into jail. Just a warning. It is time we deal with honest people in this country.
I can do your railings for stairs and balconies. I can also construct your tank stand. I'm in Nnewi Anambra State

Like I did mention earlier, there are some painters that aren't mine that did perfectly neat application.
I specifically requested for@ Thenext to post a few videos of the internal painting done by his painter.
I'm particularly impressed with the neatness and how they took their time to do the cutting of the top part, lower part and part where different colors meet for first coat.
If not told, you would think it was a finished painting and they are yet to apply the second coat.
The final coat and cutting would be uniform with this approach.
The paints were supplied by me and I can definitely give you same product at a much cheaper cost.

Thank you!

Nb: I am not an architect.

I dont think the living room gets enough air circulation. The walls around it seems much.

Will the light from the dining be enough to illuminate the entire passage? If you open up that wall btw the living room and passage, maybe more light will enter. Will you put a window above the door going to the sit out?

Is the first door going to the master and other bedroom really necessary?

Overall good flow...but always consider light and air flow most in your drawing and then others add up.

Good luck bros

1. Poor air circulation in the lounge.
2. Accessing the guest room and other spaces directly from the main lounge indicates that the essence of the Anteroom is defeated.
3. The dinning area is nothing but a lobby.
4. The laundry and kitchen ought not to have a strong relationship.
5. Pantry requires light to function properly.
Please post your site plan so you can get more critique.

It’s a good start but won’t work for me.

X Master Bedroom bath not big enough
X Guest bedroom access too open to living room, ought to have lobby
X Living not enough windows

But it’s good plan but not for me

Good luck on your project.

An advice for folks looking to start a build.

The first thing to decide is how you live and how you intend to use your new house.

Most people spend the most times in the kitchen and living room, followed by the master bedroom.

This is why in most American home the prime real estate goes to those places.

Also, folks shouldn’t be afraid to do a duplex. You get an easier and luxurious design space plus bigger and better land left over for parking and outside activities.

Thank you for your input.

The land measures a total area of 1247.556sqm (about 135 X 100ft)

I plan to only use half of the land right now with two buildings. The main building, that's the four bedroom apartment and two mini Flats behind it.

Building a duplex is very expensive, at least for me. I am only just a freelance book designer.

That build is very huge and believe me when you said you’re just a freelance book designer I felt I should advise.

To be honest I’m currently on such type of build I think I’m 80% ready . And I can tell you many water don pass under bridge . And at some point I felt trapped and no way out but I’m thankful that I live in a simple that I don’t have to rush about this one .

Well I got ideas and architect interpreted it well and it had every feature of a dream home . In 3D it was so fine I always looked at it and I never knew in reality it will be that complex and require a lot of financial base . I could have got stuck cause prices of materials are not fair and you may think you are prepared but believe me Nigerian market will surprise you .

So I will advise you from experience that why don’t you have a simple modest one first since the lad is huge .I can see two buildings there do the back one first then calmly you can start the bigger dream home without pressure and stress . Shalom .

I just want to encourage you, the race is not to the swift! start small, just be focused, you will see things moving and you will be motivated. You will be surprise also by just cutting little, little things out and putting the money into this, you will see progress. YOU CAN DO THE IMPOSSIBLE!! Your hands that started shall finish in Jesus Name!!

Blocks should be least of worries in a building this size. Even if it is additional 1000 blocks (#250k), that is relatively not much compared to other materials involved.

I know what I’m saying brother a bungalow of my size which is similar or bigger than that over 5000 blocks was used now multiply by 330# that’s a lot already . Then iron of 1.5 tones it’s no joke. The main aspect of this build if he’s going to do it solid

Cement,
Sand
Granite
Iron
Wooding for Form works
Casement windows with burglary
Plumbing and electrical

He can’t negotiate it less they will take a chunk .
