How much in Nigeria of today will it cost to deck a three bedroom house given a floor space of 55 by 40 feet?

Or better stïĺĺ what quanties of materials: sand, granite iron, decking planks and labour cost can one plan for?

Why adding another floor? I can help you have the four units on said plot without a storey.

Not a bad concept. But I personally think you should eliminate the Guest Toilet in a one bedroom apartment, it is overkill.
One toilet should be enough for the Occupant and the Visitor. Thank you.

The Quote may be Ok or may not be, depending on your location. Cost of Labour in Lagos or Abuja for example, is more than double the price for the same Labour in say Zamfara, so it depends so much on Location.
As to what to pay the guy for Installation of Frames for now, give him 1/3 of what he charged for all the work and let him know that it is an advance payment and balance will be paid when work is completed. It is stil his money to collect afterwards.
If you give him more than that,, there will be no incentive to come back and finish the work, he has other jobs to do, mind you.

If you buy and deposit the Sand yourself, no problem, just make the material available for the Mason.

As to "movable" materials like Cement, you should buy it in tranches of 15bags and then replenish as he gets to Ten Bags of usage.
But you can only do these if you wil be available to monitor the Usage.
Artisans are full of tricks and they will certainly try to steal your Bags of Cement and resell it nearby. They can connive with a seller nearby or they can even use empty Bags to replace unused bags of Cement, for you. grin grin

Monitoring is Key, if you cant monitor properly, then God is your strength.
Goodluck

I agree with you, it is unnecessary for a Mini Flat.

Also, the location of that Guest Toilet has diminished the value of the Sitting Room.
Sitting Rooms look good when you see them in Full, as you enter, that Guest toilet obscured a major view.

I'll like to hear form you and others that think a VT is an overkill for mini-flat ... where then do you suggest to place the only bathroom in the house?

a) en-suite and inside the bedroom such that a visitor have to come into the bedroom to use or
b) outside such that it is directly accessible from the living room

thanks

You’re right Sir. A one bedroom flat doesn’t need to be en-suite. The location of this visitors toilet is also horrid.
