So many people want to know the stages of building a house in Nigeria. As a client, you also need to know the stages of building your dream home. This informs some decisions you get to take as regards your project. Especially in the aspect of finance. However, a program of works is usually prepared by the contractor showing you the details of each of the item of works to be done in the correct order of relevance.

Plan
One needs to plan before embarking on anything in life. Planning to construct a [/b]building basically involves having in mind how you want your building to look like. At this stage, what is needed are
[b]ARCHITECTURAL DRAWINGS
STRUCTURAL DRAWINGS
BILL OF QUANTITIES (BOQ)

Setting out- The land to be used for the proposed building needs to be set out. This is done to define accurately, the outline and width of excavation. It is necessary to mark the area of land that needs to be used as designed by the Architect. The information in the drawing needs to be transferred to the ground where the building will be situated.

Excavation of Trench
This involves digging trenches to receive the foundation of the structure. Regarding the drawing’s defined lengths and widths, excavation should be carried out. Depending on the depth and composition of the subsurface, suitable machines are used to excavate the earth. For regularly smaller structures, we use manual digging tools

Ok i will update it today. Thanks for showing interest in the thread

Nice and informative thread....Following.

Foundation: The excavated area needs to be well compacted by a Hand Compactor before blinding takes place. Blinding is the pouring of concrete of a particular mix ratio( usually 1:3:6 or 1:4:8 depending on the type of project) on the excavated trench to receive foundation.
Then hollow sandcrete blocks usually between 2-3 courses are laid before German floor is done

Superstructure
Super-structure is to provide support in the construction of the building as per designed plan and various members of super-structure such as columns and beams are designed to provide strength for carrying the dead load and live load expected to come on the various parts of the structure in a safe and well-distributed manner. Also, Blockwork is constructed up to the roof level( for a bungalow) or first floor slab (for a storey-structure) as the case may be.
