Request For Building Estimate by amakaDD(op):
Good morning Engineers and QS in the house.

Kindly help a sister with the estimate for this commercial build. Location is Lagos.

I need bulk pack figure for each stage of the contract.

Suggested breakdown could be:

1. Foundation/Substructure
2. Superstructure
3. Slab
4. Roofing
5. Mechanical/Electricals/Plumbing
6. *Finishing (Intetnal)
7. **External Finishing
8. Building Approval/community settlement

*Finishing includes _Windows, Doors, Burglar Bar, Borehole, Overhead tank, Ceiling, Balustrades etc._

**External Finishing includes _Septic tank, Interlocking tiles, Fence, Gate, Gatehouse..._

1. The build is sitting on a half plot.

2. This is expected to be a commercial project and ROI is key. So responsible cost cutting advice is welcome.

3. This is a crowdfunded project hence the need to clarify cost to non-technical members
