Ok I see reason now. Most folks charge dado rails on ceiling separately, but N4,000/sqm is fair for the volume since its being charged together.
ok. But this is POP. I don't necessarily have problems with POP quotetation. I'm worried about bricklayer part, where I have to buy 350 bags of cement. shocked

1. In the area they only sell fadala which is not sawmill full wood hence the pricing

2. I actually plan add on work at a time when the carpenter is due on site for a major stage hence when they come for roofing they finish off with frame for the cupboard and wardrobe amongst others such that this are then ready for the bricklayer during plastering saves on cost and saves on traveling as they are not from the area.

3. It's there the material ie bambo(oparun) is under roofing and the carpenter fees is inclusive. Under 7th stage lintel you have concrete for65k that is the caster for top linted I only use the machine concrete crew for my lintel work as they do it in a day and have a smoother finish. It's for all round chain lintel

4. 125 approx cos by the time they were plastering outside the tilers were also onsite using cement.

6. I had some windows from the bungalow that was pulled down which were reused and a tough bargain with my fabricator cos he gave a competitive price to get me to come away from my usual but then tried to pull a fast one but we were able to meet in the middle it's sliding windows with net.

I usually start off with a projection drawn up from initial negotiations knowledge of work to be done and sometimes wishful thinking. I started off with plastering labour of 250k then 350k but at 400 when I spotted they were trying to drag it on I told my bricklayer the finishing can be completed by him and 1 labour from 4 bricklayer and 2 labour.

It's hardwork when it was intense over the summer holidays and at times I really had to be brutal and get another person on site when they start their game of starting your job then after they think they have secured then they go off somewhere else and start giving you story that is dead on arrival.

I carefully went through your expense log and must confess you did a excellent job managing cost.

I have some observations though I would want you to clarify.

1. The prices of the woods seem very very cheap. Is it peculiar to where you live? 2 by 4 was 420naira!!!

2.what was the need for 2 by 3 furniture wood under roofing to ceiling?

3. I didn't see cost for scaffold and casting labour for upper lintel.

4. Under your plastering, how many cement did you use 50 or 100? It's not clear

5. Super impressed you built and roofed this house with only 8 million

6. How did you achieve that amount for the windows? One will guess that that house carries over 25 windows.

But overall, you killed it at this amount!

It depends on the taste of client. The materials listed in the quote is too small for the FULL conduit and using 12-ways DB single phase MEM for the total number of equipment to be installed, i doubt it.

Price of cable is low

You are indeed streetwise.

You are a true definition of "what a man can do..."

Your tips are invaluable. I like the idea of using the carpenters during roofing to also do some furniture work.

What "streetwise" tip will you give for one in the roofing woodwork to roofing to plastering stage?

Excellent for me.
Good air movement
Good use of the irregularly shaped land.
Just tell him to add a window btw dinning and the kitchen.
Good positions of rooms.

If I were you...I will dash this architect money for 2 crates of beer

I know the architect can still do more except probably you're trying to minimise block usage.
I'll say you can alternate the guest room with kitchen. Trying creating the guest room toilet/bathroom to serve as visitor's toilet as well.
Your rooms on the upper floor are completely exposed.

The lower floor could have a better air flow by having the sitting room in kitchen location and the kitchen in the dinning area. All others look okay.

Also I think you might need to re site your VT by the sitting room where it can be visible from the entrance/guest room as it’s not everyone you want wandering round to locate it.

I would always coordinate my roofing wood, aluminium and ceiling to be done at same time it’s more cost effective and time efficient I think instead of them coming and going and you can bargain together. I also think doing ceiling before plaster creates a better finish but then you need to watch that the bricklayers cleanany stain as they go.

All frames to include cupboard, wardrobes, door and window and metal doors are done as part of plastering and I no do engineer rate oh as me I no be engineer.

Also I have worked with several of them over some years (8/9 years with bricklayer, welder 9 years etc) and we do have a level of understanding and I know what their strengths and weaknesses are so it’s become easier.

A lot is about the planning and supervision
