Nice work boss, please chief I saw one of the doors the frame didn't reach the lintel, how did you cover it up.

Thanks sir, the space doesn’t designed to have door at initial stage, it was later the client demands for door there, so we now design door with FAN LIGHT for the space

Happy wkd to you all

Adaba0803:
Thank you so much I’ll try this.

That is correct but make sure you buy original ABRO made silicon more so you can use this so called 4min gum ( go to where they are selling motor part you will get it, buy original one Abro product USA made)
Then follow the same process someone explained earlier.

Biztech05:
SUMO ZINC is that of 8ft size
Advantage : cheap
Disadvantage : low quality because it read and rust within short periods i.e some few years!

ALUMINUM LONGSPAN is okay
Advantage: durable and asecthic
But a bit more costly than zinc

Aluminum stepties : nice , durable and asecthic cool using gauge 4.5 / 5.5thick

Disadvantage: quick leakage when use low gauge
Recommended gauge 5.5thick.

STONE COATED
This is excellent but costly that others
Durable, asecthic okay and realiable.

Good write up.

If you understand me I said location, materials and the design will determine the cost.

Now been a bungalow with just 6 (room and a kitchen and a toilet)

Location:: It’s only in sand filled area, a water logged land or area with low bearing capacity. That he can not try such budget due to the fact that it will require a raft foundation that will dry his budget even before laying a block. Places like Sango Ota, Ifo, Abeokuta Etc will suit his cost as the land is dry land that requires less stress.

Materials:: As we all know that construction work is purely materials and labour insentive as materials take 65% while labour is 35%.

Using Ifo as case study!

85% of houses there were built of corrugated roofing sheet, asbestos ceiling, floor with no tiles, that they will only have tiles in the toilet to half way, no paint, just normal electrical work, plumbing just normal materials, sands and granite readily available with low cost compared to Lagos, and even the LABOURERS.

People are rushing down to the place due to high standard of living in Lagos in which they can not afford. With this, they are looking for somewhere relatively cheap and within the circle. The house owners there knows they have no choice so the houses were built just for them to sleep at night and wake up in house not (HOME) If you understand my point.

So the person that asked if 5m could finish such might have gotten information from this side as the cost of construction there is low. That was the reason why I said YES!

But a good professional will sit his client down and let him know what his budget could give him, it’s now depends on what the client want. Because House is quite different from HOME!

Don’t criticise me, am a Builder and did research on Building sustainability!

For any of my comments I have my point.

Thank you.

I get you right my brother, thank God you agree with me that there is diff btw HOUSE and HOME
The issue is that if there is money people will build HOME.
Those house you mentioned at SANGO OTA as you said is out of it concerning standard house we are talking here.

“How can someone build house JUST to sleep inside at night and leave EARLY morning”
As you stated in your statement.......means if such person find a place UNDER BRIDGES he we call the place a house.

More so the 6units of room self contain the OP mentioned is almost equivalent to 4-5 bedrooms bungalow YES.
So how can the said amount (5m) give the type of structure someone will sleep with 2 eyes closed.

Lastly I like as you stated on your post that “A professional will seat a client down to know his budget ..........”. So pls let’s go with this always so that we will have a structure we can call home .

It’s better to build just simple standard 2bedrooms where you can call HOME than to build 6bedrooms which will collapsed and kill people due to I want to build cheap. RICKETY house

Oga Rotecch77, I beg make you no kill persin with this your epistle write-up o.

Hajji M.

Nna so Hajji baba

raymondFirstborn:
Bro even 6units of a Room, kitchen and toilet(self contain)
can not be built with N5m.

Thanks my brother, you are very correct on this.

Its better to let some people know here that this particular thread is an international thread where both diaspora and others citizens from diff country do come to check things and some notable people here in Nigeria too.

If we are talking about home it’s not just ordinary 4 corners of walls or one hurt in a remote village.
We means standard structure from drawing to turn key where ALL things in such building are working in a normal way.

It might be a low cost housing , that doesn’t means that all key and necessary measure should not be put in place for the occupant.

Such as functioning
*water system
*electricity.
*spacious and well arrange compound
Etc.

NOT A HOME WHERE.
*You will enter bush to or dig ground at backyard to SHIT.

*You will be searching for water up and down the street to get water to bath.

*You will be searching for co landlord if they have light to charge your phone or to wash BALL.

* Where you will be coming to nairaland to look for whom to solve your BATHROOM TILING ERROR today, next day WIRE GOT BURNT another day ROOF LEAKAGE . 1 month later WATER INGRESS on the walls. Etc
. ( naaa by force to build house)

Some people While giving figure here they will be given figures based on others factors like

* Baba Charles will give me free granite left over at his site.

* Village people will help to excavate foundation free or by giving them OGOGORO, or CHINAPSS.

*He will cut tree free from the bush nearby for any wood work.

*Some will based there calculations on BABA LATTI will handle the job perfectly ok from foundation to turn key
*ONLY BABA latti
Bricklayer, Carpenter, tiler, painter, BABA latti even know QS work, BUILDER work, Architects work. Hahahah wetin,
Shee this one nna house abii CAGE.

Although you can get most of your materials free but you CANNOT use this as Yard stick to give likely cost for others.

Some professional also are not left out of this both
Architects,
Builders
Engr
QS
Etc
They will tell you don’t worry we will get it done
When money enter hand ..... you know the rest as usual for such bad characters fellow.

That is why we have many abandoned structures,collapsed building and SICK building also plus ready to collapse building every where today

saydfact:
your best bet is - INSTALL TILES then come back to railing later..

reason is simple - TILING is going to alter a lot of levels, when all levels are in place, you know how your railing wld look like... offcourse the rail installer might need to drill or remove 1, 2 or 3 tiles - but that quantity is so minute, you wont even feel it - just have your stock pile (extra tiles) handy.

Goodluck

Good point from you ,but at 1st you don’t need to tiles the point where the stair railing legs will be erected or you can leave a whole roll in that section without tiling it, then after the railing you will now tiled the portion.
But at time I do tiled the whole area bcs I do give my workers Diamond cutter to drill the railing leg point when railings comes in.
