Ebi like say prices don dey come down. Last week got quoted N2350 per square metre for 0.45 guage Aluminium (Metcopo) but yesterday got a revised quote of N1950/sqm same Metcopo at Onitsha.

Similarly woods coming down as well
2x4x18 hardwood down from N900 to N780
3x4x22 hardwood down from N800 to N600

Saving me around N285K total cost on roofing wood alone buying this week as against last week. Onitsha price.

Is this experience similar else where and on other materials?

House rent collection is obviously a problem in Nigeria. A good number of tenants don't pay their rent as at when due. It's a well known fact that this has created friction between a number of tenants and landlords and landladies.

So guys apart from the normal referencing process, what can be done to find some harmony between tenants and landlords/ladies?

I recommend we abandon yearly subsequent rent payment and resort to monthly or three monthly or six monthly and give the tenant the option to decide which of the options resonates with their cash-flow. So after the initial payment of one year rent, subsequent payments should be from the above option.

The main reason for delayed or non payment of rent has to do with cash-flow miss-match. So a tenant receives income monthly and we expect them to pay rent yearly.

What do you guys think? I'm looking to experimenting this for three years. What is wrong with this option?

Cost For 1 Story Building 3bedrooms By 4flats 2 Down 2 Up In Badagry, Lagos

Greetings to all pros in property and niaralanders,

I am about to commence a project of building a 4 units, 3 bedrooms flat with 2 flats down and 2 flats upstairs. I am newbie in this type of work however I am seeking the knowledge of the pros to please help me out in breaking down the price according to the segments listed below:

1.Fencing: Like to know the list of materials and cost plus labour charges to complete the fencing to 12 coaches.

2. Cost for the foundation: I will like to know the list of materials and costs that will be needed to complete the foundation.

3. Soak -away: I will like to know what are the materials needed for the soak-away and labour charges to complete the soak-away.

4. Cost from foundation level to decking level: Like to know likely materials and costs that will take the building from foundation level to decking level. Please note this is not include cost for decking.

5. Cost for Decking: I Will like to know the materials & costs plus labour charges for decking only.

6. Cost for construction from decking level to roofing level: I will like to know what are the materials and costs require to get the building to roofing level.

7. Roofing: In this stage I will appreciate if pros can recommend good and reliable roofing types that are value for money and cost effective since I understand the materials and costing will depend on the type of roofing I want to use. I will appreciate if the materials can be listed together with the costing just like the 4 previous stages.

The land is located in Badagry, it is a dry land but since Badagry is consider to be a beach area it is said that the foundation will require raft foundation. Pls do take note of this when you are sending me the quota.

Please note I expect all costing to include labour charges and hiding costs that are likely to show up as the project progresses. I will appreciate if all materials and cost can be properly details for better understand.

I will so much appreciate everyone contribution on this thread as I really want to prepare myself before going into this project. i wouldn't want to jump start a project I will not be able to complete however I seek your knowledge and guidance before commence this project.

I may even accept quotation from a very good person that offer reasonable prices and high intelligence in building 4 flats around Badagry area and involve the person in the project. You have a great chances to involve in the project so please send good and reasonable quotations that shows you really have full knowledge on construction of this type of building. .

I have share some of the building plans with this thread i did hope that can be helpful when calculating the cost of all materials that will be needed for the project. I will not tolerate any kind of unruly and ungodly person, if you know you are not genuine pls do not send any quotation but if you are trust worthy and straight forward person you can send your quotation since you have chance of wining the project.

I want all discussion to be public so no email as i want all nairalanders to participate in this thread. All quotations should be sent here for general public to see so that we can all have an healthy debate about it and I promise the right person will be given the project to lead.

All your contributions and guidance will surely be highly appreciated. I will await everyone contributions and I am pretty sure I will not be disappointed based on all valuable information I have acquired in Nairaland at the past. I want response as soon as possible as I plan to start the project before raining started.

Thanks and God bless, may God continue to replenish your knowledges in millions folds.

Thanks to everyone that offer to contributes to this thread in advance.
It's difficult to give u specific quantities cos you have not provided adequate information but all in all from experience the project should range from 33million to 40million.

Stainless steel and glass Wood is a no go area cos of termites and rot.

engrnoble:



your suggestion is very good but it has been practiced in the time past and it didn't work. An average Nigerian find it difficult to pay their house rent. some people will always stress the hell out of the landlord before he pays, the people who do this most are business men. when you visit Onitsha you will understand what I mean. so that was the reason yearly payment was introduced to reduce the stress that is involved with house rent collection and also for the money to come in huge for the benefit of the landlord.

snakebeat:

I pressume the figures are in feet. If so, i am afraid it will be too small, rooms sizes will be too small...as a matter of fact, the land is too small. it can't. it is not always advisable to buy land less than 50 by 100, so u can bulid something on it.
