proper planning help to reduce wastage.

So 2 bedroom flat × 4 should be easier.

LLVelly:
guy na step by step tinz, u don't need to estimate coz all u'll see is discouragement, no matter ur estimate u must still over spend ur estimate, clearing of bush + cutting of trees are also inclusive,so just one step at a time u'll excel. May God help+protect you.SUCCESS.

jerflakes:
Yea you are right.

But do you really expect me to say:

[size=15pt]QUANTITY SURVEYORS IN THE BUILDING!!!...lemme hear you say HELL YEAH!!![/size]

Come on...that doesn't sound funky AT ALL.

eghosajohnny:
To complete the project will cost you 7m on a standard measure using materials like

Aluminium long span
Sliding window
Glaze tile for parlour
Other vertrified
China doors
Pvc ceiling
Painting
Wiring

While the foundation work will take 1.8m
Breakdown

2500 blocks. @ 140. 350,000

Please I need your help,
How much will it cost to build a foundation for 2 bedroom flat times 3 bungalow
Not to spacious rooms.
All I need is estimate quotation of how much it will cost, not to expensive, just building for tenants
Thanks in advance

Young man! Every profession has its ethics. Pay a professional Q.S to get a precise quotation..... and not all this silly assumptions am seeing here.

A Q.S is in your neighborhood.. ask him!!

in layman's term abeg. Na im b hw many blocks high?

Mushood:
u tried in ur estimate but u made some mistakes in which hype d amount higher. Wen u are estimating for d concrete in foundation strip, u use 0.1mx0.45mx230mm which is wrong and again, u got d thickness rite, d width rite and d length wrongly. Recheck

abdulwastecx:
ten feet high...like ten block from ground level and 3 block inside the foundation

quack engineers.... you don't even ask for the length and width of the building..... your extimation is totally wrong.

Building is by doing.

A lot of people see building as a business. Architects, civil engineers, building technologists as well as building enthusiasts all build. A technogist with experience is better than an Architect or Civil engineer without. My civil engineering friend will say, " if I take you to site, you will learn ". After school, one doesn't start building no matter what he studied. Hands on experience is what counts.

You won't know what a man studied until he decides to tell you. You don't need a quantity surveyor before costing a building..

I spent 550k to do a foundation of a 4 bedroom flat.
This was in Minna.No German floor,but I raised very high like 3course filled with a compacted laterite.....The engineer is my childhood friend sha

micday81:
What do you mean by compacted Laterite and how many courses of blocks went into the ground/foundation before the 3 course that is above the ground level?

Or what u mean by filling it up with compacted Laterite is that you sand filled the building with Laterite to level up with the foundation.

Please kindly shed light on how the compacted Laterite was done , the number of blocks that was used to this level , the loads of laterite used,the load of granite/gravel used and the number of blocks used. Am waiting for your kind response

I mean there was three course inside the ground during setting...Also there was three course above the ground.This three course above was filled with laterite.This is simply a substitute for those who can't afford German floor
