landt:
Hello,

Please I need an input from the Subject matter experts (SME) in Real-Estate as regards a Mini Estate Project I intend to embark on next year 2021.

The land location is in Abeokuta Ogun State

The Land is a flat dry land

The Project is going to consist of 24 units of mixed 2-Bedroom, 3-Bedroom and 1 Bedroom flat apartment on a 4048 square meters land area (6 plots). That is why I called it Mini-Estate.

Now, not that is it really a big deal just that I want it to be semi-smart in design sort of and as such, I need to have a clear-cut understanding or solution to some of the challenges I will encounter before embarking on it so that it will help in the building plan design, layout and construction.


Let me list some things that i want to have there.

1. I want a situation where any occupant can open his or tap at any time and there will be water with enough pressure to go round. Both in the ground and first floor

2. Ability to separate water and power supply from any apartment for any reason without affecting the remaining apartment

3. How to avoid individual generators been used by occupants in their apartment when their is power outage in order to avoid noise pollution and potential Security threat

4. How to avoid installation of high-rise water tank stand but still be able to supply water at moderate pressure to all the apartments.

5. Automated Water source (Bore-hole or Wells) that can give enough volume for daily consumption with Portable water treatment plant for purification

6. Automated 24/7 Security lighting even when there is unavailability of primary source of power supply

7. Programmed Card reader for self operated entrance gate and Visitors booking App for visitors before making a visit. This to be managed by the Security personnel

8. How to manage space for parking slot to accommodate 2 cars per apartment and still achieve standard room measurement of 12ft x 12ft (excluding wardrobe space)

9. Best option for installation of underground utilities (water piping, electrical cables, waste pipes e.t.c) that will make them easily accessible to maintenance.

10. Common Energy meter for all the apartments or individual Energy meter for each apartment. which one is better?

These are the concerns that I have.

Please share your experience incase you have a solution or idea on how to fix them. Thank you.

I like the concept.
Item 1,2,4&5 are use in use in Highbrow areas.
A plumber with experience would do justice. But you would need an M&E engineer to produce drawings as regards that aspect.

Item 6. Solar installation would do justice.

I have worked on something similar.

To create enough parking space. The best solution would be to have 6units per block. You can Decide to make either a storey building or a 2storey building.
For a storey building - 3units per floor (2floors)
For a 2storey building - 2units per floor (3floors).

As regards the card reader issue, there are companies in Lagos that handle such projects.
Some estates in ikoyi, V.I & ikeja use card readers.

Thank you Raymond Firstborn, the house has been decked already.

Ok.
That should bring the cost down to roughly N12M.

I am thinking of remodeling my 5 bedroom family house (bungalow) in Enugu to a 1 one storey building and may be with a pent house if possible to accommodate 4 of my brothers with their families. For privacy, I would like each person to have about 3rooms with baths but I have very limited funds. So specifically, I am adding 12 rooms, 6 toilets, 2 living rooms and 2 balconies. I want to know if #5m can cover this project before I delve into it.

Depending on the size of the current building & expected level of finishing.

5m won't finish it. Budget more
You would need approximately N15 - 17m. With average finishing.

Consider-
- cost of decking
-cost of adding structural elements (columns & beams).
- cost of blockwork.
- cost of finishing

You can contact me on 09056082348(call & WhatsApp) for cost breakdown.

Please do you have an idea of how much this location sells for?

Most of the estates around igbogbo, ebute & ibeshe .
A plot - 12 - 15m
Half plot - 6 - 7.5.
Dryland.

Swamp sell for less 4.5 - 5.5 for half plot.

somehow:
Never.

Did some research and got the info.

Checking Ketu down to owode onirin side now.

ISHERI north and flooding are like 5&6.

If you are building in isheri environ without raft or pile OYO.

sgtponzihater1:
What would be the average cost of this?

For the bungalow with pent N18m - N20m depending on the finishing.

Duplex with Pent.
N26 - N30m depending on the level of finishing& location

Indigbo:
Do you have the plot for sale? Budget 1.5m

Which location?

Indigbo:
Just a quick question guys, can half a plot fit in 4 Bedroom bungalow + Penthouse and still have car parking space like two cars?

Can you show me sample design of such structure?

Yes it would fit.
Below is a 4bedroom duplex + pent
And a 4bedroom bungalow+ pent sitting on half plot.

You can contact me for more details.

Good morning to all Nairalanders please am about to start my project next month and i need a very good builder or engineer who can handle my project perfectly if not 100% maybe 98% please i beg the elders in the house to help me with recommendation. thanks in advance

Wheres the project located?

somehow:
Hello house

please I need assistance

Need to get a property in lagos but the location is an issue to me.

I want a place i plan to move into within 1-3 years.

I dont fancy extreme ends of lagos irrepecstive of the direction.

i am a first timer

who can advice me on what to do?

one mind is saying i should go for an apartment, another wants me to build from scratch

wifey prefers ikorodu if we ever settle for extreme ends but for the fear of bad roads/insecurity while i prefer ibeju lekki but for the fear of flood. (both within an estate)

We both want mainland proper but lands/properties there are scarce and expensive with the issue of omonile and other fees if we eventually see where we can afford.

Can anyone advice me here?

Thanks

You should consider Ikorodu, depends on the part of Ikorodu you are considering. The road isn't that bad. There are areas with good road infrastructure + electricity, especially if you are buying land in an estate environ. Budget should be between 5 - 12m.

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

Good afternoon, I can help you with the full cost breakdown.

Send the drawings to me on Whatsapp.
