How much do you think will finish this kitchen

Na my kitchen pic you they save without my consent? 🤣

Skydivine:
Yes. Or a little more.

😁😁😁😁
Make I just rest and use the money take do another thing
Thanks bro 🙏

Skydivine:
With steady you will finish it. As long as you have enough to get the carcass done on the first phase .

But it will cost atleast 100m to achieve it?

tymicjay77:
It all depends on your taste for finishing and decorations.if you want a standard and quality materials that 50m will not be enough...the following factors actually determine how the money will be dispense
1. The individual handling your project ( forget all those saying you should handle and supervise the project yourself, the truth is it will cost you more if you do that . because if you eventually make an error , whosoever you will call to make amendment for the corrections will over bid you cause you will have no choice.the best is to pick different option of contractor and let the submit their bid trust me you will feel relax.)
2. Go for material that are not too expensive but has durability confidence, example for doors instead of going for high yield steel or aluminum door go for well finished wooden doors, also instead of going for marble tiles go for ceramic tile will nice design,instead of going for conduit electrification laying, transverse you cabling internally in the ceiling and walls.,for the roofing minimize the taper angle and height of the kings pole,you can even settle for flat roofing ,so many ways to reduce cost.
3.avoid giving your project to bricklayer handle ,you will end of spending unforseen expenses trust me...I have handle so many projects that was initially handled by those bricklayer,some out of pity to the client I prefer solution without complete alterations to the already done project... imagine a client call for urgent help on his already built house due to excessive water sipage from the foundation,,the foundation was so bad that differential settlement of the build load( weight ) casing crack on the walls.definite such project need total reconstruction but client are are always sober because of the double expenses. Just saying this because of those saying you should handle the project your self or maybe employed the service of ordinary artisans....

I bought 9k from Onitsha last 2 weeks

Benin own they always different 🤣🤣 even if they want to consider you based on customer, it's Bua they will give you for 9.5k

I'm planning on starting a service apartment soon... 2 bedroom duplex each, 4 in a compound.
I just they pray make God help me see it through with the rate of things in the market right now

lekanation:
Dem don put knife for your neck self Na pre-cast concrete facial board you even use (parapet) The wood and carpentry work is not even up to 1m here. And stone coated roofing sheet shouldn't be up to 6m.

Sand
Cement
Granite
Rod
Binding wire
Nails
Workmanship
All these aren't upto 1m?
How much does just workmanship cost in your area for such a job?

If I could remember vividly, I bought 12 tonnes granite(not dust granite oh). Though they didn't used all.
2 rolls of biding wire (small remain)
Can't remember the quantity of iron rod that I bought but amongst were 12mm, 10mm and 8mm.
4-1 sharp sand was sold at 95k with I did it last year
How many bags of cement will you use for such a job?
I bought a bag of nails or so (can't remember the nails measurements).
And workmanship was 300k.
Do your calculations oga.
And mind you, I was the one that bought every materials needed for the job and I supervised it from morning till evening, everyday
Infact almost everything done in that building till I finished it, I was the one that bought it myself... I was only paying for workmanship

Prestige16:
This is subject to location and availability of land, plus the taste you have for finishing. I can tell you boldly that foundation, wiring, windows, POP, screeding and painting are the parts where the biggest chunk of the money will dissappear.
So depending on the type of finishing you want, 50m can complete it or take it close to completion if the structure is to be built mostly within some of the northern states

Include roofing, borehole and doors

Skydivine:
Hmmm. This is magic.

If cement is 8500 each, 10 bags = 85k
10 tons sharp sand is 70k
Labour each bag is 2k x 10bags = 20k
Water 5k
Total #180k
Divide that amount by 350 ( 10x 35 pieces each bag)

180k / 350 = #514 each block.
Therefore the price of 300 is fishy.

Are they even still selling cement 8.5k anywhere in Nigeria?
Presently a bag of cement in Benin city is 10k

mightyhaze:
1 bag go gv u 45 6 inch blocks ??


No wonder houses dey fall left n right

🤣🤣🤣🤣

Ashawoman82:
Oga shutup , wetin u wan use this kind cabinet do fir bungalow house.. Cut ur coat according to ur size.. I'm talking of the average standard prize...normally there will always be a more expensive material especially when it comes to furniture.... Standard kitchen cabinets popular in most homes can be done with barely 400k, take that to the bank.. I have a highly skilled furniture friend so I know sup..

And small ant 🐜 like you is telling me to shut up?

Ashawoman82:
Oga rest, there's different between luxury furniture and the normal ones used in most kitchens today...

Not everyone does normal like you.
How much will it cost to have this kind of kitchen cabinet, Mr Normal?

kkonsults:
EDO to the world 🌎
Nice work.
Welldone my brother.

Jorussia:
Okay i now understand you.but u said ur own na 4 bedroom?some 4 bedrooms bungalow is equivalent to 2flats(3 bedrooms).If it's anything the size of 2flats with parafet and metro roofing it's going to cost #40m and above.I did estimate for 2flats(3 bedroom),it was around #35m.The estimate is just a basic standard house with no metro roofing or parafet.

Check one of my post, I have posted mine during roofing.
And yes, mine is 4 standard bedroom at the front and a room and parlour self contained at the back (it's equivalent to 2 flats as you rightly said. All the rooms are masters, with a laundry room also

Ashawoman82:
Oga stop exaggerating things, what do u mean a standard kitchen cabinet, as in furniture in the kitchen is 2.5m haba..

K

Jorussia:
Oga i be site supervisor and have projects that are still ongoing.May be u join the people when want make #10m profit from 3 bedrooms bungalow project.there is what is known as actual cost of building and variations as a result of taste from individual clients.some persons can decide to buy #5m tiles for just one room,it's their choice and it doesn't mean that's the cost for standard one room.I will deliver with #35m and he pays me #1m as my fee and i don't engage in inflating prices of materials.Provided his money is available and I will deliver within 3months.

Speaking not as an engineer but as a owner

Factcheck0001:
hmmm

30 million on bungalow n it seems it's just starting

I pity people who bring all these topics online cos we go just Dey hear lamba from different quaters

This was when the roofing was going on.
So, stop coming online and be thinking everyone is like you that comes online to drop lamba.
This same building, the parafet is 1.8m, wood work is 2m and 6m was spent on roofing. That's a total of 9.8m.
And before you come up with the engineer cheating me, I supervised and even bought the materials myself. All these were done last year.

Kavod:
DONT LET ONLINE PEOPLE WHO NEVER BUILD I BED ROOM APARTMENT ADVISE YOU SHA...
TO BUILD HOUSE NOR DE COST FROM FOUNDATION TO LINTEL... THE COST THEY COME FROM THE FINISHING, INSHORT THE FINISHING TAKES 80% COST...

50 MILLION NOR FIT BUILD THREE STANDARD BEDROOM APARTMENT NOR BUNGALOW.
TRY 80M,

REMEMBER I SAID STANDARD.

Thanks for this
Make people make nor even get land they assume here

Jorussia:
Don't mind him,he is adding embellishments which are usually determined by individual taste.If the man is in Benin city and land is available I will deliver with #35m.The most expensive there now is the roofing.the metro roofing #6m go bring am out from factory.the roofing wood #3m,the parraflex #6m.Tiles nor pass #6m even for foreign tiles.if it's Nigeria tiles,#2.5m go do the tiles.borehole, plumbing even with tanks nor pass #2m.

Don't worry, deliver yours in Benin for 35m.
And yes, I'm in Benin

aremuforlife:
What are you really building? If na play stop it. Why are you guys like this, what do you mean 50m will not build 3 bedroom flat?
It will finish 2 building of 3bedroom

Henix:
10 million for this roof? My 5 bedroom bungalow in Awka didn't cost me up to 5 million naira to roof around March last year, with a quality stone coated

Mine, a standard 4 bedroom bungalow at the front and a room & parlour self contained at the back.
I did artwork parafet at 1.8m, wood work at about 2m (including carpenter) and roofing at about 6m (including carpenter also).
This was last year.

Ganjafama:
Ok. But with a limited budget you can just paint without screeding, though screeding gives it an exceptional finish.

That's true
But it's advisable to do screeding so that you won't need to be doing repainting every year.
A standard kitchen cabinet right now sef is between 2-2.5m

Lekan239:
exactly. When cement was 4k 2022. I build mine. Very standards 3bedroom. With fence. Was about 30-35m... now that cement is not 8,500. Sand price go up, granite prixe double.. my sane ous I built with about 35m 2 years ago will cost over 65m now to build the same ous

Currently in Benin city, a bag of cement is 10k
4-1 sharp sand is currently 120k minimum in Benin city also.

Ganjafama:
You added screeding/painting and furniture. You can choose to paint without screeding. Also, I think you should omit furniture for the meantime.

The furnitures are the kitchen cabinets and wardrobes.
You can't build such a house without those 2.
And for the screeding and painting, the pics that the op posted comes with screeding and painting

westlius:
You need 4,000 to 5000 blocks.
6 inches block
1 bag of cement gives you 45 blocks,
You need 112 bags to get 5,000 blocks
Finishing (interior) can be expensive or cheaper depending on your taste.
50 million will build 2 of these house minus land and get change is your finishing standard isn't too high

45 blocks for a bag of cement is not advisable.
It should be 35 or highest 40 blocks

DarlingtonC:
A lot of expenses here can be reduced by 50 percent

My brother, if you haven't, please try and start a building project. You will come back here and change this stance of yours.
Even 60m excluding land won't build it

highchief1:
50m won’t do it well with tasteful finishing.standard bungalow now is about .65m.duplex standard 180-200m.Note that 50m was building a duplex before the drug lord became a president

I have currently spent more than 30m in my new 4 bedroom bungalow, and it seems I'm just starting 😭

Without the land, let me do a proper breakdown for you and allow you to decide yourself... This is from person experience.

To DPC level, you are spending a minimum of 2m.
To lintel level from DPC, you are spending another 2m minimum.
Let's say 5m from scratch to Lintel level, excluding filling sand and workmanship.
That parafet, I did mine that's an artwork parafet for 1.8m
Woodwork and roofing currently for this sample you posted, you are spending atleast 10m.
Window 🪟
Doors 🚪
Plastering
Artwork
POP
Tiles
Borehole (tank, tank stand)
Piping
Plumbing
Furniture
Soakaways
Screeding
Painting
Burglary
Gate
Flooring
Wiring
Plumbing items,
etc

My brother, 50m won't build it.
You should be looking at 65-70m.

Chukwueze is injured.

He get use before?
Someone that was just running round the whole field like a headless chicken.

zicky:
We have seen PhD holders in this country make stupid decisions. As a head coach or a captain of a national team you are representing the whole country, it shouldn't be about sentiment but merit. If you like stay in your house and vote a Messi on wheelchair as your world best it's your choice but doesn't reflect your intelligence nor level of education.

AE made a very big mistake, he should have contacted you first or asked Nigerians to vote for who Nigerians wanted him to vote for before he came out to vote Messi since he was representing you guys as Nigerians.
It's the same you and your likes that are also praising the Ivorian coach for voting Lookman when his country man was among the top 5 list. Since you clapped for him, does that means he voted for Lookman base on what his country wished for since he was also representing the whole of ivoire coast?

It was clear that Banda would win the Women Player of the year, would you have clapped for AE if he had voted for Banda instead of the Nigerian representative?

I insist that most of you are always fond of complaining, you guys have been wired to complain over everything, else I see no reason for the complaint of who AE voted for when no Nigerian was on the FIFA list.

And since according to you AE was representing the country with his vote, what makes you think most Nigerians would have voted for Vinicius or Bellingham over Messi if Nigerians were asked to vote on behalf of Nigeria? 🤔

femianski:
Pls I'm confused here. Ademola Looman wasn't nominated for the FIFA the best men's best player award. Why are people here now angry that Eguaveuon voted Messi and not Lookman as if Lookman was nominated in the first instance.

Some Nigerians will always complain.
They are already wired to complain over everything.
As a Nigerian, if I have the opportunity to vote, I would have voted Messi because to me, till he hangs his boots, he will remain the best.
So, I don't know why they are complaining about AE choice. Imagine some of them whose highest qualification in life is an ssce saying AE is backward in his thinking because he voted Messi.

MadPolitician:
If Dele starts to misbehave, I will put him same place I will put Bwalya and co. If he keeps standing on business, we will be here to surround him with honest support. I am not a product of a monarchical environment like you that is expected to follow like an obidient serf. You do good and I support you. You do bad, I don't support you. You are the one desperately reading tribal and clanish intents into it. Adams Oshiomohle used to be the man, but today he has turned tail, modernised his khaki and is neck deep into lootocracy and election riggings. That means he is nobodys hero. The yardstick to judge are honesty and straightforwardness..
You gerrit now?

Speak for yourself Mr man and don't sit in your home and start thinking for everyone.
Till today, the same Comrade Adams Aliu Oshiomhole is still revered in Edo State and seen a god like in his Edo North.
A governor just finished his 8 years terms and most of the development Edo State still witnessed today was done by him.
He is my hero till today, my leader and political mentor, that's how most young edolites still sees him.
You can hate someone, that's your problem, it doesn't means the person is bad
