I wonder how abromovich feels watching from the director's box

mars123:
Copy and Paste or plagiarism in this context is not a crime, is it? People do copy part of each other's work. artistes, writers, film directors, students, are all guilty of this, it's not a new thing...next!

SnowJay92:
See how you reason?

Firstly, the guy that called out slot on here is a very different case. The was sold a fake, he had already gone back to complain and the staff in that branch of slot connived to treat him like a nobody. Do you realize how different that is?

The man did not even mention innoson's handle since that was his best way, he just made a careless statement to discourage future buyers, how do we grow the naira if we keep dispiriting our own brands.

Look, I know I can't compare Thai rice with anambra rice, would that make me to come on twitter to rant "is this the rice they're making noise about"? The Aba made shoe I bought last week, the sole is already parting because I went to a swampy area with it just once o, so I should go to twitter and tell people that locally made shoes are rubbish?

Have you ever seen anybody that announces to the public that his mother is a lousy cook? Even if she is??

LesbianBoy:
Something tells me if an igbo man is the president of nigeria, nigeria will be great! Can you imagine, small complain wey customer make, na him make innoson motors (owned by an igbo man) send one of their staffs to sharpaly attend to the customer. That shows igbos have a "listening ear"......

AreaFada2:
Buhari thinks this is a new move. Lol.

If there is any presidential prerogative he can trigger to constitutionally sideline Houses of Assembly having to vote on it, then he should. If not, it is dead on arrival. It will be another exercise in futility.

What we need is a wholesale civilian constitution, not one left by military. States/regions and LGAs all need their autonomy.

Taking power from State & giving to LGAs is just a coded way of FG controlling LGAs more directly. Because FG can now directly play the funny game SGs are playing with LGA monies now.

Thomthom:
Buhari abeg free us from this governors ooo...local government Allocation dey come from you but since na state acount he dey enter governors no dey let us see am 10 month no salary na ear we take they hear how much come but we no dy see money pls do something... But the problem u might get is the governors they will not wnt that

bayooooooo:
It's actually a bad move.

LaExpert:
Sure, United has been poor hitherto...but Feyenoord isn't a weak team, infact, they are the most in-form Dutch team so far this season.

Eyaaaaaaaa osusumustflow and rokiatu have losted their jobs

aolumaxi:
OP... get a quantity surveyor. when ur architect n engineers help you with the plans and designs for the building, have ur qs prepare a priced BOQ to know if you can undertake the project financially, if you cant, den you can retirn to your architect to readjust the plan to suit ur finances.. architects are creative people...


NB: the QS u r taking is a consultant to you, so get sumone trustworthy who wont jst inflate tender prices to cheat you

When u are satisfied with a plan nd the estimate... u can then start looking up for suitable contractors

koning:
Quantity What?!!. Delusions of grandeur. We are talking of a 5 bedroom private residence here. Not the Hilton or Adenuga Towers. A seasoned bricklayer can give you a breakdown of all the quantity of material you need. The guys I used were well spoken University graduates like many of you jobless ones here. You guys blow expensive technical jargon to convince innocent people who may not have the time to be on the ground. Do not let me expose some of your tricks here. Just let this slide for now.

I will continue to advice Nigerians in the Diaspora to beware and examine things thoroughly. Most of these guys are very slippery and hungry. I have met a few in person. I will not mention names.

Fadelex:
I've actually taken my time to read all the responses on here and I believe everybody contributed based on their knowledge, I told the OP to budget upward of 25million depending on his taste. Let me state here that construction work is not a guessing work, it is a Precision work, that's why we have various professionals in the industry. No one can determine the cost of a project without a design. same design on different plots will even have varying cost not to talk of different design on different location. Most people talking do not even know the load-bearing capacity of the soil, what types of finishes, external works, administrative bottlenecks and other natural factors. It is better to learn instead of pretending to know it all. God bless y'all.

An experienced professional can 'guesstimate' to a certain degree of accuracy, depending on his 'experience' and sometimes this is sufficient for a prospector to take certain decisions, just as the poster appears to be. I understand in construction there is what is called preliminary estimate and at the very earliest it borders on 'speculation'. With more information coming from the client, the professionals are able to move to the next stage. If he has 9 million he can be told his limits. These matters are discussed in the opening exchanges of any project development. By the time he has a 'solid design' he will have spent money and may not be able to turn back.

It is like a doctor's call. An experienced physician or first responder can tell what could be possibly be wrong and this determines his next line of action which will be a thorough investigation.

Give the man an idea so he knows what to do next. And in my little experience and opinion 9 milion will not get him far.

Oballer:
52Million for a bungalow

1) did you do piling?
2) Did you cast all the walls in concrete?
3) Are the windows and Doors bullet proof?
4) Is it built on water
5) plus external works and it is not yet done?
6) is it Julius Berger handling it?

52Million for this building that im looking at? 52M is no joke o brova.. it will build 4 shells of terrace flats in lekki phase 2 bruv...

gabe:
we r talking wires, plastic pipes and wc. Fear God o

You Nairaland builders are a bunch of thieves. "N9M will only get you to window level downstairs". Are you serious?!!. I will never hire a builder from NL. They are all thieves targeting Nigerians in the Diaspora. Op, don't listen to this greedy bastard. With N5m you can conveniently get to Lintel level downstairs. I did it with that and was hugely ripped off as well by the builders and the suppliers. An honest bricklayer later confessed to me that when I order for 500 blocks, 300 will be supplied and laid before I show up. Making it impossible for me to accurately count the number.
With rigourous supervision it could have cost me N4m. NEVER TRUST ALL THESE SO CALLED BUILDERS, ENGINEERS AND CONTRACTORS HERE.

zamirikpo:
@POSTER dont be discouraged, with 9m u can finish a 5 room duplex,what would be left wont be much, it all depends on the design and the person handling it. most times people take advantage of our ignorance.

i was opportuned to witness the building of a 4room duplex,(since january) the site engr is a christian brother, who was very honest to the point that he had serious battles with the carpenters and iron benders who came to do roofing and finishing. these guys where over billing the owner in excess of over 50% of the original cost,they do this mainly by over estimating the materials quoted for the job.outside the decking and foundation, a duplex is just a normal structure. the extra cost of decking and foundation wont be more than 3-4m. dont be deceived.

so far we have spent about 8m. we have roofed and paid for iron fittings, plumbing and electricals have also been done. the only major thing remaining is plastering and p.o.p. just like someone earlier posted 2.2m for block work from foundation to decking, thats over estimating excessively. the issue is, if u know nothing about buildings, then am sorry u would get ripped off.

if possible ,do extensive background checks by URSELF before embarking on any project....nairaland has so many threads that would teach u many things about building. and if u can ,always visit ur site, or have a trustworthy person supervise for u if u aint around.

finishing also matters.......if u are not tiling ur walls front and back with expensive tiles or skreding evry wall or installing jacuzzi's in evry toilet ,baba.....9m will almost do it.

eghosajohnny:
Now since I've stated a breakdown to a point let's take it to finishing so there will be an idea of the amount to complete the project.


Pop:800k
Tiles 1.3m
Doors,800k making the entrance door 350k and others 450k
Electrical and fitting 600k
Plumbing and fitting 900k
Cabinet and wardrobe 700k
Rail and burglary 700k
Painting 600k
soakaway 300k

Total of this is 6.7m+14.5m=21.2m

Which I know is on the high side to me I believe with 19m the project can be delivered

eghosajohnny:
Sir for the 5bdrm duplex in abeokuta below is the breakdown of how I will handle it or guide you on expense to roofing and with this design below if you like it

Foundation: 1.8m
Block work to decking: 2.2m
Decking:2.3m
Block work to roof:2m
Roof wood work:700k
Parapet 700k
stonecoated roofing sheet:2.7m classic sheet
Plastering:850k
Casement window:750k
Artwork:250k

Total so far on this is 14.550m

Below is the 3d of the 5bdrm duplex any other question you can call or whatsapp me on 07031886484

amagunnerfan:
Hmmmm? I will wait for more estimates but not looking good. My capacity is 16m. And have a high taste.

amagunnerfan:
I recently bought a piece of land in a very good location in Abeokuta. In the process of getting the building plan approval. I intend to build a 5 bedroom duplex on the land but want to get ideas of how much it will likely cost me.

I am a bit inexperienced but have my father in law and my uncle running the errands for me.

My inital budget was 9 million but my father in law said it won't be enough. How much do Nairalanders think it will cost? I intend to finish this project within 6 months GOD willing.
