Beframia:
Even though I am not an architect but I feel this design could be better. See my suggestions:
1. Try and fit the toilets in between any two nearest bedrooms especially at the east end.
2. You may also consider reducing the ante room size.
Best of luck in your building journey.

@ saydfact, please help say something about this plan.

Ok boss.. Wld

HRtechnique:

I came across this 9-year-old post and I'm curious about the current cost of building the same 4-bedroom bungalow. Does anyone have a rough estimate?

Omo! Thanks for the feedback, it means a lot to me 💯

It's a new channel I'm starting off, no financial strength to pay professional voice artist yet. The voice is actually AI, that's why it's lacking Actions in areas that requires action expressions and some of the characters name are pronounced with foreign accents.

I'm looking forward to paying voice artist in the nearest future for voice over.


Your feedback is well appreciated and means a lot because it's the first feedback I'm getting. Thanks a million

I just finished listening to the audio stories - very inspiring and I love the background music....

Goodluck - keep going

Offpoint1:
Nice one

Rany4all:
Does the broken lines represent the boundaries of the plot of land?

The answer is NO..

Broken lines refer to the element above lintel level not seen in plan.. eg a canopy etc

I got this quotation for 20 tonnes granite 3/4 down from quarry.
9,000/ton
Haulage 150k (mowe)
2k revenue
Total 332,000.
I want to know if it will be cheaper to buy it here in mowe to reduce the haulage charges..

Mowe does not have a quarry, so it can't be cheaper.. And if it's cheaper, it can't be 20 tonnes

Goodluck

Procarpenter:
I work worldwide with good and quality materials with warranty…

A lot of home users in the process of trying to save 100k would end up wasting millions and cursing the contractor afterward...

In few years time, this house wld be flooded because the road level is EVEN already higher than the floor level..

Because of how much wey he or she wan save Better to do it right or do it small small but right.
Also. Instead of using zinc I wld have advised asbestos.... Asbestos last the lifetime of the building,, zinc won't.

Homextras:
What budget could complete 2 nos of 3 bedroom duplex on 400sqm in Sangotedo, Lagos.

150m only

aghaibiam:
Please I have 200sqm floor I need to cover in my compound, which alternative is cheaper?
Using cement to floor, interlock or stamped concrete?
Funds are extremely limited but I will like to work on the floor,how much will it cost to cover using any of the above?

Obviously concrete is cheaper but usually almost same rate with interlocks...

Budget about 2.5m to 3m to get it done.....

Una Good Evening ooh.

Skydivine:
If you know how the internet works, you would not use certain words in your responses here. I mean the inappropriate word by the client. You have a large presence online and I believe must of your potential clients do some background research online before contacting you. You don’t want a situation where those negative words would appear when those searches are made.
Even though the word used by client is inappropriate, try not to elaborate on it. Try not to make it stick with your name. Most internet readers don’t have time to read. They just scan through keys words, do some mental paraphrasing and draw conclusions.
Guess what they will see? Your name and the inappropriate word. Without giving much time to the context, they draw conclusions and move on. That is how an average internet user reads and unfortunately, that is how the internet works. I am not even talking about customers reviews here, but more like a digital DNA, the blueprint of all you do online.
Just my 2 cent.

True...
My biggest job this year was sm1 doing a Google search for a keyword (Estimate) he came across my articles and some good reviews.

Then he started looking for how to contact me, that led him to NL and he had to join NL to get my contact..

Thanks for the advice - I'm sure we all learn everyday and Imran has also.... Cos he has taken actions.

Good bless all peace makers.... Amen

money121:

And thanks so much for your contribution
Appreciate

Thanks bro.... May Allah make it easy for us all..

More success stories.. Insha Allahu.

I tagged it best because there's a BIG life lesson there.

NO1 IS TOO BIG TO FALL, WE ALL WOULD HAVE SM1 TREAT US BAD ONE DAY.... BUT THERE'S NEVER ENOUGH REASON TO REPAY IN LIKE MANNERS.

My brother Imran money121.... Pls, if any1 told Jonathan or Barrack Obama they'll become president one day, they'll laugh at the joke.

Never brand any1 a small client again.. Thanks for understanding.. NO DISRESPECT PLS

dapotemi:
I actually think he's rather a SMALL MAN!!!
You don't fight your customer in a public..What I would have expected is simple sorry to the customer, we would do better next time..Just one line and case is close..The rest of us here will take the battle if the clients continue to malign him...Luckily, he has not been accused of scam; just poor customer care and that is EVIDENT even from his response here...To climb ladder hard o, to fall yakata na ABC...
In his line of biz, you will meet all sort of customer ; the impatience, the not so good, the knuckle head, even outright werey client but you have a responsibility to MANAGE them all, and sometimes when you fail because of your own imperfection, you maintain your CALM and DECORUM and not acting like a tout..
A client bought an item worth 200k only from us last week and returned it after 72 hours that she doesn't like it and ask for a refund! The report got to my desk for approval, and I spoke to the client and she was saying rubbish so I rejected it! Later my boss called me and advice that I should approve, not because the client was right but because we have a NAME to protect and we can afford to refund! We made over 5 billion worth of sales last month and it was our highest figure ever, and we are still celebrating . Why allow this '200k' to spoil our joy? I learnt a valuable lesson that moment..The Yorubas here will remember that popular saying " ONIYANGI MA BA TEMI JE, ASO ALA NI MO WO!!! Do better oga.

BEST COMMENT SO FAR......

gentlesoul83:
This is subframe, if you are to get one it will be between the range of 7k to 10k.

I will advice you to buy planks and you saw them to 2" or 2.5" and let you carpenter nail it for you, it will be cheaper that way.

I sell woods if you want to make more enquiries about it you can WhatsApp or call 08032339807

any house owner buying sub-frame planks himself or herself has no business building..... because you want to safe how much? maybe 20k overall - comon, let the carpenters do there work..... and avoid un-necessary wahala.

dollarnaira:

Starberg:
I need your advice, which job should I go for between these two jobs

One is a government job of 100k
The second one is a private job of 180k

Your advice will be useful

Both are in proximity to my residence.

Government job because it gives you the time to have a second stream of income and better insured/assured

Can a piping overhaul be done on an already completed, painted building?

Yes.. but you wld cut, fill and do plenty wet works (concrete/mortal work)

so, either stick to the initial design or get ready to start building again

If you know about Water and Wells, please advise.

A Well Water that is usually very clean during the dry season turns whitish, milky and cloudy whenever it rains. Pictures attached.

The Well depth is 13 rings.

Please,
1. What could be the cause?
2. What can be done to remedy the situation?

Thanks.

Location ?
There's a natural resource near that water... me think

ajabani4allah:
Thanks for this advice. This thickness is 3.5mm according to what is on their site or may be I am the one that don't get it
https://www.nigeritelimited.com/en/products-systems/litespan/

by thickness, i was referring to the longspan

off course the thickness of Nigerite sheet is not an issue - its the aluminium that one shd be wary about.

oracle009:
Pros in the house,
Thank you for guidance so far. I'm doing a hidden roof and my Engineer suggested that to to save materials, it is not necessary to plaster the inner wall of the hidden roof since flat sheet is going to cover all the walls. I have added screenshot pictures below as references.

Please, is there any major benefits to plastering the inner roof wall?

OK.. I get you now. (See attached pics)

Please plaster it - its important to:

* Hold the nail tight - because a plastered surface wld hold the flashing nail better than a non plastered wall
* make the surface smooth as a rough blockwall can puncture the sheet over time

the cost you're trying to save is so minimal to the advantage.

GOODLUCK

WHERE do u refer to as inner walls? can u circle it, the attached pics not helping.

dongc:
Is this a fact ?my contact at Best Aluminium says atleast for them even their other competitors First Aluminum and Firtst Express don't have any problem with thickness. Metcoppo had design flaw coupled with poor currugators + handling that cause it break even before installing...

Other than that 0,45 very suitable guage for any roof not flat... I guess one who is buying roofing sheets should ensure they buy from reputable companies same way we rods...
