Wow thanks so much for the effort taken. Really appreciated.

By the way, I told them to make arrangement for a near future plan for solar system. I plan to go offgrid later this year or early next year with a planned total bank storage of 55 - 60 Kwh and 12kwp PANELS. Also some automation and CCTV.

Do you think this has been adequately captured in what was prepared and quoted?

Ps: no ante room by the way.
The ante room details will cater for BQ. Also let him buy 8pkt of 3x6 box

For the home automation, It means the whole house to be automated. There is a special distribution board for the home automation so the electrician have to separate his own from automation .. their own cable is cat 6 cable and not the regular copper cable used in house wiring. You need to involve the home automation contractors from the inception of the electrical installation.

You can go off grid whenever you are ready

Oga Topsy.. you know 3million won't go far..

It won't even roof the house..

Infact, for a standard build with an average footprint, and a "German floor", it won't really go far.
Oga mi I know it roof might get to roof level if the land is not water-logged

Let me play devil's advocate..

1. If he's using a plate compactor for the compaction, he will rent at about 15,000 per day. Add cost of transport to n fro site.

2. If he's buying DPM, add provisional sum of 35,000 - 40,000.

3. If he's going to pay carpentar for the woodwork, add 10,000 - 15,000 for labour.

4. If he's using a machine for the concrete work, he will spend 80 - 100k for Machine + workers.
Good analysis

It is better you first look for a NEPA station close to the place first and discuss with them about supply . They may be able to be of help. With the current price of diesel, NEPA supply may be cheaper. U can also look into solar for light loads so as to reduce your fuel consumption.
To me it is better you sight your business where you are guanteed at least 12hrs constant supply.


Thank you topsy
I have been waiting for your reply.
It's in epe.
Those IPP
Are they in specific places or they can generate power for you wherever you want
Pls not this is not a big factory
Just a small setup
Where my plan is 200kva generator max
Getting 22hrs power supply in epe will be wonderful
The highest so far is 18hrs
In some places .
Connecting some load on solar will reduce the capacity/Rating of the generator.
All Light,
-Socket that is not carrying Ang heavy equipment can be on solar.
All office workstations can be on solar

Let me research shortlet. Or if you have time to educate us. Thanks.
A short-let is a property which can be let from a few weeks to a few months.
Just like an advance hotel. The apartment must be fully furnished for them to feel at home. Majority of the people using shortlet are the people coming from abroad, expatriate, people coming to a spend weeks in a particular location.

We completed a 3nos 3bedroom flats in gbagada recently and all are for shorlet. The apartments are equiped with:
Refrigerator
Washing machine
Cooker
Ac
Kitchen utensils.q

The occupant/s can cook for the short period he or she will stay.

Also, you must be ready to give 24hrs power supply.. although there is 5kva solar inverter installed in each apartments. The last time I went there the 3- apartments is fully occupied. You can have a room self contain as shortlet.

I have a question on something that I've been pondered.

Now that I've shifted into my main house, my 2 bedroom bungalow is just sitting there. I have three options, I think.

1) Rent it out to a hand selected tenant on a yearly basis.

2) Turn it into a AirBnB. This sounds most logical to me since occupancy will be limited. Though it sound fanciful but I haven't done enough research to see the viability due to my location being Elebu.

3) Just leave it alone if it'll be too much hassle. I don't necessarily need the income.

I know that I won't be the first to have this quagmire so I want to tap into experiences and opinions.

Thanks.
What of shortlet. That is what is reigning in Lagos and people are really making cool money from it
