yes i did ask b4 but, no one help me out. Both pls.
Btw 300 - 400k should be able to cover it since it is only external. But location plays important role when it comes to project costing. So i will advise u get someone to physically inspect it & give u an estimate.

Thanks for pointing that fact out,
Lands are available in three forms.
1. Residential.
2. Commercial.
3. Investment option.
(With this option, you get to resell the land after it appreciates)
Once interest is indicated, we explain the 3 forms of land ownership to the prospective client.
These buying on the investment package won't need to pay the other charges, while these buying on both the commercial and residential option would be need to.

For more clarifications,
Contact: 07033209078

Yes, the details are not from Ibeju-Lekki, they are from one of your Ibadan properties. Yes, your fees are listed on your website which is where I got the information from.

The question is that when you post on Nairaland, why do you not easily list the whole fees for the land?

At <1000mm difference from plot to existing road level.......
Your structure type will depend on type of foundation to use and other considerations to adopt in the process.

Given normal conditions for good soil/land type
A foundation depth of 450mm/600mm (bungalows/single storey) can be used.
Run your blinding with appropriate concrete thickness, run a plinth beam (chain beam) after 5 course block work all round existing wall.
Assuming it will take 8 course of block work to attain a desired level above the existing road, you'll run your plinth beam on the 4th course and repeat the process on the 8th.
I so much appreciate this sir.
Which should come first between ceiling(POP/PVC) & plastering?

thanks, why we tried not to include a television is to reduce the electricity consumption but we have just discovered led flat screen televisions that runs only on 33watts. the biggest headache is electricity supply, a typical Nigerian hotel runs on 300kva generator that consumes a drum of diesel, every 4hours. that means a thousand litres of diesel per day. we're trying to cut it down by at least 70%. thanks for your contributions, we really appreciate it.

invest in solar panels. The cost of acquiring a 33 kva Gen should instal sufficient power to run your hotel without ACs. you can then buy a smaller Gen to carry only ACs (LG inverter type)

hmm, that's a wonderful suggestion but the wiring would be a bit difficult. we'll seek professional opinion on it.

Interior : if your walls are not prone to water or dampness , you can go for the normal White screeding pop plaster and pop paint and ensure it's mixed with BOND. If your walls are prone to dampness ensure it's treated against dampness before screeding and NOT after

Exterior: I would not recommend pure cement screeding, you can go for premixed ready made putty and should be water proof just to be on a safer side .

Plastering precedes POP/PVC.

I think for EXTERNAL pvc ceiling, that's if it's for the roof overhang... Pvc should preceed plastering.

This is to ensure all the holes in the ceiling are covered against lizards and crawling insects.

Hello.
Is wall screeding really necessary for a painting with Vinyl Silk(Dulux, precisely)?

Very very necessary.
Those kind of paints reveal the uneveness of a wall after plastering.
The need for screeding is to hide such.

Hello Sirs, I want to embark on this project, precisely next week. We're planning to move here from our 4 year old bungalow. Same city( Abeokuta) but different environment. The land is quite small, we have another structure beside the proposed building so we are left with this piece of land to build this. The project is going to be supervised by a builder. 3 designs were sent and I chose this. I just want to have an idea of what to expect in terms of cost. I told him that I want us to do it in phases.
The first phase will be from foundation to completion of the decking, second will take it to level and parapet, 3rd
will be roofing and all that and we continue like that, non stop (In Sha Allah).
Please what's the reasonable amount to expect in the first 2 phases? Any suggestion as regards the design?
Nb: the land was sloppy but it's been sand filled to level 1 year ago

Don't forget to contact us for your landscaping and gardening installation and services ..

We simply add value to your properties using flowers.
