Good Evening All,

Please I Need Your Help! I Am About Roofing A 5 Bed Rooms And 2 Living Rooms Apartment And I Have Been Asked To Get The Skeletal Wood Work Done Before Knowing The Actual Cost Of The Roofing Sheet.

Now, I'd Love To Make Use Of A Stone Coated Roofing Sheet But I Am Afraid I Might Not Be Able To Afford It With The Way People Around Are Talking About The Cost. My Budget Is 1.8m For The Sheet And Accessories.

Can Anyone Please Give Me A Rough Estimate? I Need To Know The Possibility Before I Venture Into Erecting The Woodwork.

Thank You

Happy weekend everyone. Please where can I go and get good security door at affordable prices in Lagos?
I'll recommend someone in Mushin/Olorunsogo.

I bought all internal wooden doors and kitchen Cabinet customised from Solid door and the security doors were purchased from his brother greatomegason at same Mushin.

Good quality and affordable rate, cheaper than other sources

I bought a total of 24 internal doors and 8 external doors from the two of them

Good evening to everyone.


Pls I need a quick professional response on my matter.

My uncle wants to start his project in Abeokuta on Monday. His site has been cleared and foundation is to commence on Monday. He just funded his daughter's wedding last Saturday so he's not too boxed up, but he still insist on starting with one loose fund of #2.5million.

The problem is the engineer in charge is insisting on 3Million as indicated on the BOQ prepared by him, then an additional 5% of 3Million as the engineer's fee. Labour alone is 550k excluding engineer's fee.

It's a plot of land with very hard/dry soil in Abeokuta. The plan is strip foundation of 3bedroom up and 3bedroom down. That's just a storey building.

Professionals in the house pls help analyze if this high cost is worth it.
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by davodyguy: 8:36pm On Jan 23, 2021
It's not cast in stone

You can always renegotiate existing contract based on available funds

Even the state government didn’t offer registered state contractors N2.5m as upfront for a semi-detached unit.

He won’t exhaust the 2.5m to finish the job in Abeokuta so make him an offer he can’t refuse.

“Take it or leave it.”

If he says no, there are hundred of competent engineers who are ready to kickoff on Monday morning in Abeokuta. If you can’t find, just go to the Ministry. I’ll give you contact of a director in the ministry of housing to work with.

Don’t let us ask you to share the plan and use scissors to cut down the cost grin

I'm not sure it is good advice for the BOQ to have been prepared by the resident engineer of the project. Conflict of interest comes to mind. I'm of the opinion BOQ should be prepared independently of the resident engineer or builder. "3 bedroom up and 3 bedroom down" means the project is two units of three bedrooms right? 3 million is a fantastic fantasy to supervise just the foundation. To be honest, 3 million to supervise the whole building to completion is still a fantasy. Less than a 100k for a dry land foundation in your location is more like it. Get a second and third quote.

Thank you very much sirs. I'm overwhelmed by the show of support and encouragements.
You may use matte emulsion also. Although the sheen is lower than satin, it can also be washed when done well.
Some call premium emulsion matte but if it doesn't have any sheen at all then it's not matte and isn't cleanable.
Matte could be used on a screeded or primed wall. Due to it's lower sheen, it could even be used on a smooth plaster directly.
You would save close to 50% on cost buying from me compared to the popular brands with overhead and administrative costs factored into the price and you will get similar value for your money.


Impressive... Review nice, and your post.. nice.

Kindly follow the link on my siggy, i'd love to recommend you to my relative...
