Not impossible with FRP custom fabrication. There are couple of fabricators who can deliver this out there. Just get your engineering drawings right.

Let me play devil's advocate..

1. If he's using a plate compactor for the compaction, he will rent at about 15,000 per day. Add cost of transport to n fro site.

2. If he's buying DPM, add provisional sum of 35,000 - 40,000.

3. If he's going to pay carpentar for the woodwork, add 10,000 - 15,000 for labour.

4. If he's using a machine for the concrete work, he will spend 80 - 100k for Machine + workers.

I guess you already assume the DPC is the tiwa n tiwa type that doesn’t require reinforcement (even it is BRC or hardcore) which I believe its installation will come at an additional cost.

I’m also assuming the rough-in plumbing pipe work will be done at a later time in the future. The owner can break wall and floor to achieve this.

Finally I guess there must be a separate amount budgeted for the engineer as his own professional fee because he cannot achieve all the above (compaction, surface treatment, pouring of the floor) in 2 days.
So if he’s earning 10k per day, that means all that’ll be left to hire mixer, compactor, pay workers and do all other logistics will be N120k.

To be fair to both parties, I’d tell the client to pay for all the things needed and negotiate the supervision fee separately with the engineer.

Yesterday, we just concluded a 150m2 flooring job for someone here, I think we’ve gone well over that figure on labour cost.

I’ve been trying to get the details of the guy I know who can replicate this. He use thin frame uPVC to make something like this.

As for the frosted plexiglass, you can always get that in Lagos.

If you get his contact please share..
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by debeey87(m): 12:15pm On Apr 16, 2022
QSFemi:
Lagos - Mason collects 4k to 5k per day while the unskilled labour (the person serving him) gets 3k per day.

Working at a higher level, that's storey building, the labour rate for both mason and unskilled labour still applies but their output will be reduced.


Thanks for this

They were painted after installation. It's a renovation we did here though. The old color was dark brown

The hard stuff in my opinion is the major determinant. You can't color over a too bold/huge edifice or furniture. The shape and design I believe is 75%.

I agree.

But don't you think the choice of cool neutral colour matters too?

Simplicity is the ultimate form of style. The concept of minimalism is all about showcasing space rather than things.

That's one factor too.

From this beautiful picture, you can see the SPACE but it still doesn't look minimalistic.

Which stills boils down to choice of colour and colour tones.

It’s not minimalistic because there are too many things competing for attention.

It’s meant to be comfortable and welcoming without being busy, cluttered and loud.
Having 3 or more doors in a lobby is not a minimalistic design.

I’ve been in an open plan building that has a lounge, standard 6 x 6m bedroom, walk-in closet, bath tub, standard bath, visitors toilet and a dresser. Guess what it has only 2 doors! Entrance door and the Visitors Toilet.

The design was deliberately crafted to declutter space (eliminate walls) and replace them with something better without compromising privacy.

Minimalism doesn’t mean colour is your enemy. Neither is it love for monochrome. Colour is your friend but you’re frugal with it.
There’s always a need to have something to look at other than empty white walls. I’m glad a lot of great guys are stepping in that direction with nice canvas, walls arts, sconce and prints to enliven our space (pic 1 & 2).

I cannot find a better picture - to explain the difference between a minimalistic and conventional build - than this one below (pic 3).

>> No Busy Wall Tiles
>> No Funny Pillars
>> Simple Ceiling
>> No Expensive Chandelliers
>> I’ve never imagined what a concrete fascia in would look like in black. It was supercool!
>> Lots of Doors replaced with Large Glass Opening

I think he asked for “average man‘s standard.” He might likely get a carcass of a standard 3 bedroom flat if he’s rugged and smart.

I did +/- I realize he’d only require a little more than his budget to get a carcass of his proposed development in Ìbàdàn.

If we (through Govt Affordable Housing Project) can deliver carcass of 2 unit of 2 bed (expandable to 3 bed) with 5.5m in 2020, now 7m (Contractor’s profit and other things included), I’m confident he can have something good at N3.5m but he has to handle it like an average man left with no option.

Here’s a project that can guide you on cost. It wasn’t written or composed or guesswork. It was a complete documentation of a project done by a first time home owner with the support of professionals from different field.

https://www.kobocity.com/d/80-first-time-owner-builder/341

It has full details of cost to the last kobo (from foundation to move-in). The owner was so detailed that he documented the cost of satchet water grin

It can serve as a guide.
