Is not easy to build nowadays besides your building engineer won't tell you everything so you don't run away until you start the building

Urgent1Million:
Very true!
Last year, I was given an "estimate" by an experienced builder.
In his words, "I assure you that this money will not finish before we finish building the house".
So far, I have spent an additional 6 million and they haven't finished.
I would have suspected them of cheating me except that my first son is personally supervising the project and buying materials himself.

your first son need money 2

And u don't want that same God to see Arsenal through

Very good write up, nice one from the writer.

Nice

Its inflation not their fault

How can you start a foundation when cement was 3k n now doing finishing when it is 13k

HacheNoire:
It is solely because they did not have a working cash flow before starting.

Many Nigerians have been brainwashed to believe building a house is a top priority in the early stages of your life which is outrightly false.

No one tells them a house you inhabit is a liability, not an asset.

He makes the first 50m in his life and runs to buy land and start building, not considering when he will make such amount again, and mostly without a cash flow that can generate such in the shortest term.

I agree with you. It's a liability, but just for ten years. It becomes an asset afterthat@

Yes, he does.
But so far, I haven't had any doubt about his purchase.

Except one is building a hut. Which house would one build and recoup cost and maintenance in 10 years?

Hotel is such a big project
At a point u will keep questioning yourself why u started in the first place. Building a house can be very draining.

I did such mistake by building a 4bedroom duplex in front and at the back a 2bedroom upstairs and a big sitting room and a room downstairs(For rent). Business became slow because of increase in fuel so I moved into the 4bedroom duplex(80 percent completion: painting and water tank stand plus soakaway are what's left ). I should have diverted the money I used for the 2 and 1 bedroom at the back into another business by now I won't be struggling with funds.

I hate number 3 with passion

Chai it was a big mistake
It is always advisable not to spread hand on more than one project at a go, it is better to complete one, observe your finance before starting another one. Building a house in this country is capable of reducing one to nothing. You will deplete all your savings & the house will still be far from completion. At a point u will start envying people living in rent, because house project will almost take away your peace of mind.

What has Arsenal got to do with your uncompleted house?

Insecurities left and right

That stuff about stealing wires and cement is so true. A friend of mine started his wiring and left. He was so excited while telling us. Before the next morning, boys had gone into the property and stripped all the wires out. Plus a huge bundle of wires that were yet to be utilised. He left the receipt along with them. You can imagine how much wire thieves will get selling brand new wires with receipt of ownership.

Or is it the one that dug borehole, installed the pump, tested it and left the brand new generator on the site? Thieves pulled up the borehole and and also made away with the generator.

E go be like story to you until you encounter am.

Who dey leave machine inside borehole when they are not ready to pack in?

Na learner be that.

It is a pity though.

I have seen also where those aboki went into someone abandoned property and broke the linted to remove the iron inside. Isnt that evil?!

It is not easy, I am thinking of how to clear the weed in our parlor because I don't want snakes to hide there, we are already living in one of the rooms.
To get light is not easy, we have been living there for the past two years without light, the community are demanding N280,000 before we can take light. People are not giving water,I think it's because of the high charges on light before somebody can give you bucket of water, you have to beg and borehole drilling is N300,000 and you will use light to pump water it now looks as if life is hard.

So sorry to hear this. But you have to try and get things done cos the price are shooting up everytime. Dig well if borehole is expensive then. If the amout said for borehole is correct then water isn't far from you.

The only issue I see is leaving the sincere professionals who wants to earn decently and patronizing the family , brother construction supervision team.. all of hem are wack. They will fleet you down to your pant and we will continue to look away.

Thank you very much, we tried to do well, they told us that there is rock underneath that is why we didn't see well in our area.
For the price of the borehole, some charge N700,000 but the cheapest is N300,000. People are not ready to give water, no government water and nobody is selling water we beg to get buckets of water.
There was a day we bought 3 litres of fuel and gave our neighbor to put in their generator so that we can fetch one drum of water, they returned the fuel and gave us 3 buckets of water and lock their tap.
Haa, water is very important, if my neighbors are pumping their water and is wasting away, I always feel bad honestly.

I didn't see helinues and the newly recruited agbero burob

Mention the names again, make the people know who dey frighten u, Mr emoji laughing man, mention their names again?

Seems like poor planning. Also, it seems like some people want to build a palace instead of a home. Some estimates are that you can build a decent bungalow for ₦12-20M.
