Your electrician should follow this step sir.
-Have 3 socket in each room apart from master Bedroom
-Master bedroom should have 4 socket
- TV point in each room
- Water heater in the bathrooms
-AC power outlet in all rooms
- 4nos reces light in each room
-He should also make provision for strip/rope light depending on your ceiling design.
- Let all your light be on solar inverter if you plan to have one. It will reduce the cost of electricity bills.
-Separate your raw power DB from Inverter DB. You can install single phase DB for inverter
- if all the appliances in the kitchen are going to be recess in the cabinet, let him provide a control switch for the socket

PLUMBING
Use correct pipe for your cold water supply and hot water supply line
- Let him use measuring tape and not couch/block during measurement to avoid wrong installation.
- Let him make provision for washing machine water supply pipe and also the drainage pipe.

Full conduit is better as TwinsKenny said earlier. Leaving your cables inside the ceiling void without protecting is not the best
practice. Safely and Protection is very key to avoid bridging of cable(live and neutra).

Those are okay if he's buying correct materials. Let him him give you analysis of what he plan to install I. e

Can I really achieve this? I want to embark on a 3 bedroom bungalow project in a community in Delta state. Aside having 100 bags of cement and 4 trips of sand. I have nothing else. Although I have a steady income which I can save 900k monthly after all expenses. I had intended too proceed on this project base on this. But seen online that such project can take up too 50m to finish scared of embarking on the project.

SamIsreal:
Thank you for your efforts,sir. I'd appreciate your review of the provided quote to ensure it aligns with your initial recommendations. Could you also provide a customized quote for a standard 4-bedroom bungalow, including solar power integration and other stuff neeesed for a stand 4bedroom flat? This will greatly assist me in moving forward with the project.

bixton:
There's absolutely nothing to be scared of.
If you have an existing building design plan, you can get the services of a QS to assist you in coming up with a working plan based on stage by stage construction works.


Or you get the services of an actual engineer or builder you intend to use to give you a breakdown quotation based on stages to enable you plan and have an idea of what it will cost you.

The simplest way to calculate the numbers of blocks you need for your fence project, assuming you are fencing a land measuring 120 feet by 60 ft, a standard plot

This calculation is based on 9 inches block fence .
The measurement we are using is 120 ft (length) and since we have two lengths that is multiply by 2 which is 240 ft. (120 x 2) = 240

The breadth is 60 ft and also since we have 2 breadths that equal 120 ft (60 x 2) = 120
Then (240 + 120) that is 360 feet perimeter line fencing.

The calculation

(we are to convert this 360 feet to inches ) since a foot is 12 inches , now let us multiply 12 inches by 360 ft which is 4320 inches.

Now to get the line numbers of blocks that will go around the fence perimeters of 4320 inches or 360 feet, we would need to divide 4320 by 18 inches, since the length of any block be it 6 inches or 9 inches is 18inches.

Now 4320 inches divide by 18 inches is approximately 240 line of blocks , then we must multiply that by the numbers of coaches of blocks you want for your height, assuming 7 ft which is 9 coaches that means 240 multiply by 9 which is 2160 blocks and that is all you need anything aside from this is fake and fraud, this calculation is derive by me professionally and i have been using it without any mistake, but always remember to add 10 % of blocks to it because of broken blocks, and for this work, you only need 30 bags of cements, one bag of cement to 70 blocks, is standard.

for your pillars between the fence, let assume 6 blocks far from the next pillar, that means 6 divide by 240 which is 40 pillars, 1 bag of cement to 2 pillars standard, that is 17 bags plus 40 bags that is 47 bags is need by me to do this fence, if i'm in position and you should also to add 15 bags for floor blinding of the fence making 62 bags of cement.

Then, we need to minus the gate and the pillars that are also taking space in the fence.

The gate is 12 ft, let us assume the gate columns or pillars is 14 inches each, we have 2 pillars holding the gate, that is 28 inches or 2. 4 feet plus 12 feet that is 14.4 feet or approximately 15 feet.

Remember we already calculate the pillars that 40 pillars is need for the measurement.

Each pillar or column for 9 inches concrete is 9 inches square, 9 x 40 = 360 inches that is (30 feet + 15 feet = 45 feet ) / 18 inches = 30 blocks multiply by the number of coaches, 30 x 9 = 270 block minus 2160 blocks = 1890 blocks in total.

40 lengths of 12mm iron rod, since one pillar is equivalent to 1 length.

3 lengths of 16mm iron rod for the 2 big pillars holding the gate.

90 planks of soft wood for the framing.

1 truck of granite (granite would be use for the wall foundation and columns)

About 5 trips of Sharp Sand.

Regards.
