Yes it depends on his taste. The initial message reads premium finishes.

Besides, after building that kind of duplex, nobody will use 50,000 naira for all switches and sockets for a duplex. It is highly impossible.


5 room doors for 200,000?? [/b]Frame alone is 10,000 per one. So 30,000 per door? Even Pako door is more expensive than that..

[b]100,000 for light fittings
? Ordinary POP light for duplex is over 150,000 not to talk of chandeliers etc..

Scaffolding of 200,000 for a duplex. That's not even possible. Ask Michlins.

The post is not to discourage home owners but that's the reality of the market at this time.
My thought too... Switches and socket of 50k .. That's total china products ..

Please, how best can an excavation on a hard sedimentary rock be done? Diggers are not making any significant differences.
Better to use jackhammer machine. Chisel won't do the job for you.

Hello everyone, dear friends. Most recently, I bought an apartment in a new residential complex and began to repair it. I couldn't find cool modern renovation ideas, I was advised by the platform https://www.theprojectgirl.com/, where there are many different concepts for the design of your apartment. I have used it and have been very happy with it.
Good to hear this .
Congrats sir

thank you sir.

I’ve just completed the roofing ,
Everything cost me around 3.3m plus or minus .

I spent 840k for woods ( ayin ), nails, chemical for spraying , knapsack , transportation and workmanship ..
I spent 1.9m naira for 390 sqm of stone coated black Milano plus accessories, transportation and workmanship
I spent 460k for the parapet and workmanship ( these guys did a great job ) .

While the roofing was going on , I felt like I wasted money ( spent around 3.3m to roof 3bedroom ( two sitting room) flat). I Thought I shoulda added small change and buy correct lexus grin..
But when it completed omo I’m really really satisfied .. as in I love it so so much . So beautiful .


Another downside is that the area is not yet developed to what I’m used to and it looks odd, bush bush everywhere ., but I don do am I don do am. Tbh na force dem force me o grin grin



Once again , thank you and God bless everyone of us . Amen..
Weldone, but you are investing for the future. The money is not a waste.

Also remember that where you are staying presently was once a bush. Give the area 3-5yrs you will see massive development. I will also advise if you have money you can get plot and keep for the future.

Hi everyone!
Thanks to everyone contributing to the page!

So, I have an issue. Lagos State Building Control Agency have recently painted my site's fence to stop work and call a number written on the paper left behind.

I wanted to know how to get this guy off my back.

Any advice, please?
Try to call them but if you have all your approvals I don't think you will have much issue with them..

Lagos state is looking for money by all means now. Election campaign is coming ..

If you want to pay any money make sure it's a right channel don't give PR or egunje to people that will not solve the problem ..

Will leave electricals till moving time...just as twinskenny suggested. Sorry to ask, how do they have access to a building that has well secured doors and windows?
They can enter through the noggings since the ceiling is yet to be covered

Main entrance doors and windows/burglary have been fixed...no security yet
There is serious theft in most of the site these days. We need to be very careful not to spend double especially on cables .. Cables are expensive now

Good evening my beautiful people... I want to appreciate you all for all your assistance, you guys are amazing. May God continue to bless us and protect us. Amen

I am done with plastering, which should be next... POP or wiring?
Wiring should be the next if the site is safe or there is security. But you need to get main entrance doors and also window/burglary

I got to my site yesterday inside heavy rain. It's a block of terraces with all external work being done by the developer. I noticed several leaking points in the roof at the master bedroom in the 2nd Floor. They told us they used 0.55 aluminum but I highly doubt it. They were probably sold fake or something, cos I noticed the sheets looked light. I don't know what's the solution to a problem like this. My POP people are already molding downstairs ready to start fixing sometime towards the end of the week but with leakage in the roof, it's a major problem. I plan to put about 27 solar panels on this same roof later on. Is it advisable to change the whole roof (this has to come out of my pocket) or just try to fix the leaking points (I'm sure this is what the developer will suggest when I bring it up).
If you have the money you can go ahead to change the entire roofing sheet. Also the POP vendor need to wait until you rectify the issue on ground to avoid rework

justicechichex, just a friendly reminder from that transformer vandal, you can see the difference in price here also, stelaing something worth almost 1m and selling for just 25k..
God will help and deliver us from tye hand of wicked people ...

This reminds me the day I was robbed on Otedola bridge while coming from a site in Office pic estate around 7:30pm my car engine just switched off on a motion, just managed to park on one side in order not to cause traffic. Within 2mins before I got down from the car two guys just came from no where and pretend as if they wanted to help me. Within 3mins another set of guys joined them, 6 of them and I was the only one in the car ...

Do you know what they told me? They said they will break all the glasses and wound me if I did not get down from the car. Trying to call some people but was helpless. There is police checkpoint under the bridge but could not get in touch with them. I opened the door and get down trying to beg them with little 5k I have on me. They said their money is 50k... They collected all my phone's and also the 5k....

After the robbery a minute later towing vehicles came and said he will help me and while negotiating with him another good Samaritan just stopped and helped me tow the car to my area without collecting anything. I was begging the towing vehicle driver to collect 10k when he said 20k last.

Lagos is not safe and those bad guys are outside there looking for whom to rob or steal from.

Those guys said We are passing on that road everyday and we don't border whether they are hungry or not.


God will help us
