Thanks my OGA

Wood work in progress, more pics

MrOkenwa:
Please how can somebody recognize "Oridudu " and Melina in the market? Any clue?
Our contractor don vex after madam go price the roofing planks in the market on her own, and we about to cut down a quotation of 1.4million naira to about 950k
He's not sending any of his team to assist us in recognizing the Oridudu that he said he's going to use.

Orindudu(aka gberigbede) common around Ogun state and part of Lagos state.
It’s in same class with itara and parapuru

Wood prices in ogun state and Lagos are in 2 classes
1- Alamole
2-bandsaw
Alamole are usually cheaper but the size are not accurate and it’s always bend.

Bandsaw are more costly than “Alamole” but it do come straight and and accurate in measurement.

Do your findings very well when you get to the sawmill

More pics will surface soon

Work is in progress, pics coming soon

What's my own if you choose to buy substandard plasterboards. Even with your 6k non gypsum packaged board, still not feasible at 4k/sqm for a designed/suspended POP ceiling. Whoever chooses to believe these joke figures does so at his/her own risk. Enough said

You will not die young my brother.

@n3xt. Check the size of the board very well the price is far more than 6000 per 1.2*3.6.12mm

Check jiji and jibowu mkt fir the price.

1.2*2.4*12mm is around 5500-6000
1.2*3*12mm is around 6700-7000

1.2*3.6*12mm is around 8000-9000

There are many brands.

The precast is still In used in few part of this world, it’s cheaper a bit to the already made board,
But to make work faster, neat, longer size cut/ shape, very neat work place , already made board is the best.

Update

mexxy1:
I'm very impressed by how you simplified everything here.

I see no reason why the so called 'contractors' are arguing about this not being possible.

The post is very practical. This was done for a little over =N=3m (yeah it's an existing old building but, it was virtually a rebuild)

https://www.nairaland.com/5563402/photo-diary-remodeling-reconstruction-old

Dubemcapital built a foundation for =N=8.75m
here

https://www.nairaland.com/5959465/diary-how-built-foundation-valley

He is an experienced builder so knows what he's talking about (as his analysis of =N=3m is for a budget build and, he clearly stated things that were not covered and other areas he used options like local stones instead to cut cost)


Here, this poster built from foundation to roofing for =N=1.6m and, it's even a hip roof (not the cheaper flat roof proposed by dubemcapital)
https://www.nairaland.com/5238791/construction-simple-3-bedroom-bungalow

No need for too much arguments. =N=3m can do it for one person but, may not do the foundation for another.

I get you right and it’s not a matter of argument we are trying to see things that possible with practical experience/ cost of materials and standard of materials.

The project link you posted was done with 1.7m without contingency cost as stated by the owner then.
So haven spent 1.7 from foundation to roof only then how much do you think it will cost to do the finishings to become nice looking structure like the one we are discussing about now.
Such as

Plastering
Window
Electrical work
Mechanical work
Ceiling work
Tiling
Doors
Shower
Water closet
Kitchen sink
Bore hole
Water tank
Suck away
Etc
Cost of materials,Labour and logistic should be factor into it.

1. Where I work now ----- 6" hole block is =#110

I will not finish the blocks I listed in the question there will be some left over.

If you read carefully the first subtitle is : Sub & superstructure which includes earth work, blinding, foundation block, filling and concrete over site = substructure

And the physical upper part of the house which is superstructure.

2. As at today cement (unicem) is sold for 2,350 inside Enugu town.

3. 10mm (3bars) means triangle fitted iron beam for lintels with close Intermediate rings, it is rigid. They will be no columns but block Chaining.

4. #2,500 binding wire is 5kg here, its only needed on the lintel iron work.

5. Yes part of the excavated sand and complete with the 2trips of laterite.

6. I was not assumed it was calculated. So but my calculation on m² differs from tillers. its a tight floor calculation the tiller can also argument from wall tiles (they can be a balance up which will not affect the budget)

7. No. Extra security? Our budget considered the neighborhood secured

8. Yes but I got below that, anyone that has bargaining strength can get it lower. besides the actual m² is below 68m². I was going to do PVC ceiling but after the whole cal. I noticed there are some change so I believed the ceiling will be the best to add the money. I also noticed the PVC installation charge 20k was not removed.

9. Fair enough the door will serve (remember our budget )

10. Borehole and pumping machine ? No o
( remember our budget)

11. That's the normal price here #250 (Melina or melila wood. Good one o)

12. Tilling is by calculation 350 per m² will do a good tilling.

13. There should be no contingencies o i believe caution, some careful measure and making the workers know there is zero tolerance for error and disappointments will help but for the unavoidable ones 10k will be there. Its a small project na.

14. I said earlier to achieve this :

He will or I will make a free Hand sketch, not a normal building drawing because the money cannot take care of it.

I will assist the person by proxy (from a distance ) I have helped many through that method before so its going to be free.

Thanks


Dubemcapital

If 6” block is N110 in your area that is a good deal but you need to check the strength.

The no7 (about burglary bars) lols not bad.

But about water and suck away it very very essential without these what is the essence of plumbing ( mechanical) work.

rajput4real93:
Is the 120-140k the labour fee for tiling 160-170sqm of tiles?

This is for the whole building.. wall and floor total about 160 floor and 170 wall this based on the size of the building and design

Watch out for more

Dubemcapital1:
Thanks for the question, it will help us go deep a little. However, it may encourage someone that wants to build a little project here or there that is willing to handle the project directly and based on this and also want to buttress my point so I worked out this estimate for details sake.

Like I said its possible to build a 3bedroom bungalow ensuit with flat roof parttern, pop, tiles etc with #3M and it will come out clean and lovely.

Here:

You have done very well to bring all these out, actually this will give some people hope to have there own building.

But the truth is that 3M can not give you 3bedrooms flat with all the facilities you mentioned.

The area you forget to Add to the list and some mistake in current cost of materials are as follow.

*Substructure*
1-Cost of 6”block is around N160 against N110 you quoted

2-Cost of cement is btw 2550-2650 against N2350 you mentioned.

3. It’s advisable to use 12mm for the columns in 4bars against 10mm/3bars you suggested.

4-N2500 binding wire can’t not be enough for the whole work 5-8k is good .

5-laterite of 10k/2 Trips can never fill the whole area of the foundation 4-5 trips will do.

Finishings
Floor tiles will be about 160-170meters agains 70meters you suggested.

You didn’t Add burglar proof for the windows

Pop per meter now will be around N3500 for simple plain design

Door with frame 15k it possible but expect to change it in the next 2-3yrs.

Electrical still OK

Mechanical;the pipe quoted is not enough
No provision for bore hole or WELL
No provision for water tanks and stand

No provision for suck away-

2*2*12 for purlins @N250 hmm you will likely get substandard size like 11/2*11/2*10 (popularly called SOLO in south west ) or white wood for that price N400-600 will work for this depends of your region


Labour
TILING cost will be around 120-160k
Plumber will cost you around 40k

Contingent 10k is NO NO prepare btw 30-50k depends on your region

IF YOU PUT ALL THESE MONEY TOGETHER IT WILL GULP UP N1million or above.

All these is without
Supervion,
No drawing
Not real standard structure.

Watch out for more
