bayo2018:

I’m thinking of letting my Mum supervise the project though they’ve their own building but not to the standard taste I want mine and I’m thinking she might not supervise it very well because I’ll be heading to school next year (that’s if school resume sha oo lols )

Or should I just terminate the project till I finish with my studies

Find a way to start and supervise the project. Dont postpone please

#12m is enough depending on your taste though

12million is enough if land ain't included in the budget...

@ emboldened

Why didn't you dig soakawy and use the soil to sand fill to reduce that cost?

emae009:


My candid opinion: 1) To reduce cost for you in general, since there are so many good architects here, auction out the design. i.e tell us the plot size (length and breath of the land). Then interested parties can submit their preliminary designs in like a week. This way you can choose a good and cost friendly design.
2) I read you want your mom to supervise the project. This is only a good idea if she's in the construction industry. If not, handing out a construction project to someone not knowledgeable enough in the industry might be a problem. Because they will most times good for materials with cheap price without taking into consideration the quality of the said material. Trade secret: it doesn't matter whether you're supervising the project with a Hawkeye, if the contractor wants to cheat you, he will. It's advisable to give the project to someone that knows his trade.
3) Prices of materials always hike during this period and beginning of each new year, don't know why. So you might want to wait for the price to come down before embarking on the project

On point ��
Seconded
"supervise your thing" looks like a good way to cut cost, but nope... It's a slippery slop.

Here to learn but I would advise OP to avoid postponing the project. There are still good people out there who can help with supervision, if you are afraid your mother could take 10% of the project fund to Pastor Tunde Bakare

Also, there are likely to be flaws in project supervised by oneself especially when you do not have knowledge in survey/building

How experienced is your mother in building supervision. I asked because I wouldnt want these builders to cheat her. If she is experienced, then its a done deal for you. Else, you should consider doing the supervision yourself.

Why your mum? I hope you're not married yet, because this is the way people introduce tension into their marriage.

If u have 12m plus land, start a duplex.
I'm not saying 12m will complete it, but u will go a very long way. If u have monthly income, then u shud be done in a year plus ur 12m.
Better to finish a duplex in 12 months than complete a bungalow in 3months. U will get bored of the bungalow

The simple truth in building, if u supervise your building by yourself. U will gain alot...

Imagine, when my carpenter gave me roofing quotation.
Nearly 1.5m

I went to market with him....
At the end, I spent 800,000.00 naira.....

your mean "soapy"

Iamgrey5:

Yeah...

I want my building to be high....

From your connotation your an architect or engineer.
This is type of open contract bidding method.

Am an architect.

Teaser4:

I meant slope

Not straight

guru90:


Yeah...

I want my building to be high....

ok.

No problem, but many people will use that soak away sand to sand fill to reduce cost.

UniqueAndSharp8:
