25m for this bungalow? The walls are made of gold

guy wake up from Ur slumber, the location and type of finishes u desire are the 2 major factors that determine the cost of ur building .if u are to build the same bungalow in lekki /ajah,the 5. million wont be enough for the raft foundation

talk2riel:
it should be 6 course of block not 6 coaches

bro DAT is d lame man language.generally acceptable on site

Kadiri07:
Foundation Level Completed.
Back Side= 6 coaches
Front= 3coaches
This is as a result of the sloppiness of the land.

hope ur front 3 coaches is higher than the proposed road construction in the future to avoid story that touch .congrats all the way

n3xt:

EgunMogaji:
The challenge is finding a contractor to do it.

the contractor to do what sir? .

agarawu23:
This decking was done with bricks/blocks.

What I know

.... It saves cost of iron
..... Its more durable than normal decking. If the iron rust, the bricks are still holding your b
Decking firmly
.....it reduce weight of your building especially if you are building stories.
.... It reduce concrete.

bro in slab both concrete and iron have their different functions,the concrete cater for compressive stress while the iron for tensile stress,i bet u bricks and block might not be able to do that for long.

@erico2 give us contract make we too chop part of ur money and stop this ur diy.

how much,call me or what sap 08060506857

My brother it's going to be penny wise at the end of the day, when the water will start messing up your house.

what we do about that ,is to properly lay tiles on the entire exposed area and u will be rest assure ur thank is safe. the problem we have in this part of the world is a proper planned periodic maintenance for our properties. For instance there should be a periodic timetable for watching our surface tanks.

mufutau55:
Because at a later point it can mess-up the building... that is why many people are building it away from the buildings.

Hajji M.

if properly planed and constructed it will be just fine

agarawu23:
I see no reason why I cant cast a tank space on my building Instead of spending hundreds of thousands to do that.

bro u need to plan that before laying blocks in order to input columns that will hold the intending slab

Barryton:
thanks...

all u need is wood for form work,reinforcements rod,binding wire,cement,granite, sharp sand, nail, carpenter, iron bender, labour for casting

Barryton:
i really appreciate this... God bless u. but that means i won't be needing blocks? is it just going to be only columns? as regard cost, which is more expensive btw this method and iron rods. thanks.

just columns no block

Barryton:
thanks alot sir...

but it is a storey building, wouldn't height be a barrier?

no sir check this

Barryton:
thanks alot sir...

but it is a storey building, wouldn't height be a barrier?

no sir,see example below

Barryton:
greetings to the house...
i want to erect a stand for my tank, which is better between using blocks and iron rods?
will be glad if anyone can provide a link on stand for GP tanks.
thanks.

bro use reinforced concrete, the iron rod will corrode with time ,but reinforced concrete will last longer

EgunMogaji:
My floor to ceiling patio windows are facing the internal open courtyard.

if i may ask sir ,why do u need that type of window sir .

Fasting a game killer for construction workers o.. Even for supervisor like us na so so sleep we dey do.

This is a bad time to do digging, casting or any high intensive labor work

best time to engage the non Muslims and the egun guys for more productivity, though my idea, but that is what i think

abdulwastecx:
Very good analysis and taught provoking one at that... The column option is not practicable because in most residential houses columns are spaced at minimum of 3m center to center accros the exterior walls where this roof rest and having it in mind that roof truss are generally spaced at 1.2m center to center, this will leave so many roof truss out of line (unless we are using iron truss).

We can also provide a very thick wall plate to span between these column but this wall plate will be under considerable bending and shear at point where the roof loads act on them, thereby necessitate for need of a very thick wall plate which may be expensive and contribute lots of weight to the building.

Ways to reduce cost is to reduce the section of the concrete of the head course to 4'' instead of the normal 9'' and to use nominal reinforcement like 4 y8 instead of 4y12, the mix ratio can also be reduce

nice input Sir, i envy ur intelligence sir,pls i have a brother who is a student of civil engineering, he needs a place for his industrial training,i will like him to do that under u Sir.

kowope is a Yoruba word and I will split it before giving u full meaning.

Full spelling of kowope is ----> ki -owo- pe which means " make money complete" (in pidgin will be better)

**** have you ever looked at something someone called 40k and u hissed mere seeing it....meaning it doesnt want it. Apply #kowope theory you will buy the one more better and even cheaper.


**** you went to the market to buy doors for your building and some were tagged 100k while some are 40k. The 40k own share same durability with the one of 100k but they are sweet mouthing for u to enjoy your money because u worked for it. Apply #kowope theory. 100-40= 60. 60k will solve another problem in your life.

**** you needed a house, you searched around the net for houses for sale and you found a choice of yours.......a 3bedroom bungalow selling for 60m becos them tell u say na ajah them build am. Apply #kowope theory , you will buy a land close to that ajah and build a duplex and still have enough change to push other things forward.

**** you want to live the king lifestyle and you bought a 45m bed when 20-100k own full market, like seriously to impress who? Bedroom wey visitors no go even see the bed apply #kowope theory , buy the cheap ones invest with the rest. Even if you are a millionaire, have u asked yourself why dangote keep expanding his investment despite being the richest man in africa? Bill gate can never count his 45m to buy a bed, dangote won't buy such only broke ppl who thinks they are rich buy such. Check them in 15-30 years time, their life won't be the same especially if they have prodigal children.


Its good to enjoy your money but its foolish to spend on thing's that don't worth.

Make i sstop for here.

nicely analysed, u are a very Gud teacher, thumb up man .
