I get you right my brother, thank God you agree with me that there is diff btw HOUSE and HOME
The issue is that if there is money people will build HOME.
Those house you mentioned at SANGO OTA as you said is out of it concerning standard house we are talking here.

“How can someone build house JUST to sleep inside at night and leave EARLY morning”
As you stated in your statement.......means if such person find a place UNDER BRIDGES he we call the place a house.

More so the 6units of room self contain the OP mentioned is almost equivalent to 4-5 bedrooms bungalow YES.
So how can the said amount (5m) give the type of structure someone will sleep with 2 eyes closed.

Lastly I like as you stated on your post that “A professional will seat a client down to know his budget ..........”. So pls let’s go with this always so that we will have a structure we can call home .

It’s better to build just simple standard 2bedrooms where you can call HOME than to build 6bedrooms which will collapsed and kill people due to I want to build cheap. RICKETY house

One love bro!

The grade is the difference.

Dangote is Grade 42.5N for concrete, Block setting and Block production, their 32.5N basically for plastering is not available in market.

Lafarge Cement Classic 32.5N & Supaset 32.5R both good for all construction work. Lafarge SuperMax 42.5R is not popular in circulation

Note R=Rapid(Fast Dryness) N=Normal these represent curing system

In building construction Rapid curing are use for large volume job.
R is not good for plastering it at the end result cracking or type of sand used.

please what's the current price of 16mm, 12 and 10mm rods in Lagos per length.

I guess you need to consult a professional for better work done,

For instance the building is on how many plot or metersqr?
E.g A plot of 60 × 120 = 654.5sqmtrs
The building occupies space - total land size
And cost per sqmtr either with materials or labour only.

Good write up.

If you understand me I said location, materials and the design will determine the cost.

Now been a bungalow with just 6 (room and a kitchen and a toilet)

Location:: It’s only in sand filled area, a water logged land or area with low bearing capacity. That he can not try such budget due to the fact that it will require a raft foundation that will dry his budget even before laying a block. Places like Sango Ota, Ifo, Abeokuta Etc will suit his cost as the land is dry land that requires less stress.

Materials:: As we all know that construction work is purely materials and labour insentive as materials take 65% while labour is 35%.

Using Ifo as case study!

85% of houses there were built of corrugated roofing sheet, asbestos ceiling, floor with no tiles, that they will only have tiles in the toilet to half way, no paint, just normal electrical work, plumbing just normal materials, sands and granite readily available with low cost compared to Lagos, and even the LABOURERS.

People are rushing down to the place due to high standard of living in Lagos in which they can not afford. With this, they are looking for somewhere relatively cheap and within the circle. The house owners there knows they have no choice so the houses were built just for them to sleep at night and wake up in house not (HOME) If you understand my point.

So the person that asked if 5m could finish such might have gotten information from this side as the cost of construction there is low. That was the reason why I said YES!

But a good professional will sit his client down and let him know what his budget could give him, it’s now depends on what the client want. Because House is quite different from HOME!

Don’t criticise me, am a Builder and did research on Building sustainability!

For any of my comments I have my point.

Thank you.
please can you quote how you will build 6 rooms, one bathroom and kitchen with N5m at ifo or Abeokuta as you said.
From Land to finishing.

Due to the current happenings about people being electrocuted in their bathroom ,I deemed it fit to analyse the causes and probably how we can avoid future occurrences.
Electricity can only flow to the water tank in the water heater system if there is conductivity between the heating element and the tank,the water in the tank becomes a carrier of electricity.If there is such a fault and there is a proper equipment grounding (earthing),the equipment grounding conductor (ground wire) is the current path that enables protective devices, such as circuit breakers and fuses, to operate when a fault occurs.
So proper earthing can help, it is also safe to switch off water heater before use .There should be caution sign on the doors of bathrooms "switch off water heater before use".
The news about people being electrocuted in their bathroom now raises a lot of dust about building regulations.
A lot of people engage Electrician to do their home Electrical installations,which they feel is cheaper. Engaging an electrician is fine but It's always advisable u ask an electrical engineer to sign off b4 use, because most Electrician do earthing but are never sure if the earthing proper.
A test can always be carried out for proper earthing.

Quick one house, we are tiling our project. For the bathroom, we would like to do bathroom cubicle inside them. Is this the appropriate time to bring in the person that will do the bathroom cubicle?The bathrooms are not so big because hubs being an igbo man refused to make the upstairs only family dwelling. They carved out a mini flat from it cry cry. He is not too keen on these things but he goes along with me if I say I want it. Who is around Iba/Igando, does good formless bathroom cubicle and would be available by saturday?

Well I think it better to tile the place first before constructing the cubicle
