here is a sample of the Aluminium roof that was supplied

and we didnt do what they call full lintel. my builder suggested since there are no pillars in the building.

is it just me or am being ripped off. is there anyone here that has spent this much considering that fact that am being told that's the cheapest at good quality i can get.

The aluminium roof we intend to use is step tiles design.
heres what i was given as the final quotes
roofing: 392m2@ 1670=654640
(ceilings+facial cladding, flashing, roof gutter)=46.2+24.5+60.2+24=155m2@1400=217000
Accessories=21600
Transportation tosite=13000
Workmanship=65000.
Total=971240naira

we had a quote of 519,000naira for the roof carcaass. that included materials, workmanship and transportation. It sounded absurd to me. like i said, I am not on ground to do physical monitoring, and oh in addition omoonile collected 100k

roof carcass

well so far few modifications were made on the proposed plan as the construction went on. The master bed room was made bigger and hence the corridor didn't extend well to the end and also the third door supposedly at the ante room was removed because of the size of the toilet its expected to lead to.

Good thinking, right decision. Well done Op

Thanks @Larwin

@bplenty....dont mind me. Am just venting here seeing how much you claimed to have spent and the amount and quality of job done. My own project seems to be costing me more than necessary . It's in alakuko o. Imagine.

My builder is killing me silly. Spent 150k as labor for roofing carcass and noggings. Is a 3bedroom with 2bedroom flat attached at th back.

the couch of the foundation was eventually increased to four. Though the area isn't water logged this is just to be sure the building is higher than the road network and the drainage if eventually the govt decides to do that.

Here are some pix

So far the work has to the window level and we are about doing the lintel. I will share some pix from the video I have of the work and pix of stage by stage from foundation.

How do u get to Fashola Estate from Ikorodu?

its not far from agbowa bus stop. From ikorodu take a bus going to abowa once you alight at the Last bustop ask any Okada man that you are going to "fashola estate." It's a new estate built by fashola administration hence they call it fashola estate. Don't know if it has properly been named now

yea like other people have said, it depends on the area. I bought from one of these "estate developer" in 2014 just right behind the fashola estate for 500k per plot. the estate is sold out now. just have a min of 600k for something good and rancor free

how much last? and hope there is no court case on the said property?

hi all, am a newly registered member of nairaland, but been following the forum for as long as i can remember. I have an on going project, but am not on site to supervise. I just need the inputs on some areas that are not so clear to me. attached is a floor plan of the project.
the prject has commenced, now at the lower window level, spent roughly 1.3mil for the foundation that includes filling with 19trips of ten tonnes laterite. can i get an estimate of what will take it to the lintel level from the foundation. am not using spatial beam of parapet as its foundly called and hence no pillars in the building aside the fancy ones at the entrance. thanks.
