I have been able to get it to linted and gathering some change to proceed to roofing level. But the quotation i was given is somewhat high to me. Over 1million naira to roof a 2 bed...?

My brother, 1 million plus is not on the high side to roof considering the current economic situation in the country.

From Roof carcass to Roof covering, workmanship etc.

In my opinion, the amount is Okay

Weldone topsy23 for your selflessness. I'm impressed at how you make effort towards answering every question raised here that relates to your area of expertise (and those that do not but you have an idea). I'm sure am not the only one on here observing this.
Never mind, the hand that washed others should also expect to be washed.

Seems you are averse to criticism. But that's the point of nairaland. We are always asking questions here.

Is it the same thread you used 1 bag of cement to set 112 blocks? It wasn't detailed enough. Alot of people were asking you how.

Good morning..

Can anyone give me an estimate of the cost to do burglary proof/window protector. I don't mind the prices for ordinary ones or the ones with design per window.

Secondly is it made and fixed by a welder?

glass has nothing on wrought. The ability to choose and customize your designs and choose what you want is unparalleled.

Glass is like school uniform. If you like spend 100k per meter, it will look like that 20k next door.

NOW WE ARE TALKING!
We found out that most Nigerians can start a building project but are only scared to buy lands especially in FCT where God gave us at least 100 ha, since we came to this world empty and will exit it empty, how we affected other lives with what God gave us is what counts not what we amassed, so in the light of this, we have decided a pilot project of giving out land free ONLY to those ready to build to lintel level right about now.

THE TERMS

1---- The land is free, but u will be mandated to start immediate project with us, we are building a 4 bedroom pent house to lintel level for u at the cheap rate of 6.5M only. This payment is towards the house building nothing is paid for the land.
2----- An additional infrastructure fee of 500k from each prospective subscriber ( plots) to do the estate infrastructure

3----- That we Ekklasia properties limited will be the sole developer of those properties, you can not collect the free land n bring an external builder, it is not acceptable.

4---- That since the above mentioned payments is towards the house project which commences immediately after payment is made, the payments is an authority for us to start your house with ur money and the house can only be sold after lintel level or finished stage, u can't come and say: sir I have an emergency can u give it back, since we have immediately used them to start ur house and no land buying involved u can only sell the property at the agreed first stage..

5---- That an initial deposit of 4M is payable at commencement for those who can't afford all 6.5M immediately, we will comence the work still but won't go far till the agreed balance is paid, price may increase if balance is not paid on time as the value of money is degraded daily.

THE HOUSE
The house to be built is a beautiful 4 bedroom pent house with attached BQ making 5 bedroom, three rooms down one room up. Pictures below

THE LOCATION
The location is Abuja airport road, lugbe on your way to airport from town by the left, behind Acco estate, lugbe south west...very flat land not far from express road

THE LAND SIZE
The land is 400sqm or more depending on First come first serve, some corner piece land sit on bigger plots.

This is a project born from a giving heart of the director, take advantage of it, we have at least 8 estates in Abuja alone, the rush is much already. Don't dull, make hay while the sun shines, do not wait till u are 65 to start building when all children are grown. This is the time.

For enquiries, call us +2349028289269

Research must be peers reviewed. One must be open to rigorous, critical and objective feedbacks.
The mantra “na so we dey do am” has no place in research.
The path to an effective and acceptable work is to follow an established standard of practice.
Do you think 112 blocks for one bag of cement is the industrial standard? Why then would some demand for adjustment in that aspect?

I understand You ma.Note: concerning the 112 per bag,The block is 6". whatsoever None ever demand for adjustment,I only say this if otherwise. In Building industry, artisans deliver the final products,The blocks we buy,do we know the Mix ratios?The bricklayers,do we know their mix ratio? Do you think they followed all your instructions?The Plumbers, Electricians,Tillers etc,do you think they all follow the rules? Most don't even know the industrial standard. If we all follow standard,less than 10% of Nigerians can afford building a house.Im talking from experiences I had while working for Europeans at SMC(Constructing their Director and Management apartments)in Ogun state 7yrs ago. Sometimes, Saying "that's how them dey do am" really save costs,telling you this due to experiences I'd on my first flat roofing systems project,I nearly give up during that time,I really blamed myself that I'd have follow them "roof it like them dey roof it(hip roofing)".I thank God today, I've mastered it. A 20yrs old house and still standing has already justified my Director's industrial standard.
