I agree but if we don’t spell it out someone might be looking for this type of finish with a small budget.

Everything na levels.

Anytime people ask me to quote, I send them pictures of what each finishing level will look like.


_______
There are windows that cost as much as 400k per unit (depending on design). You won’t put such in a 6 - 8m build.

So I expect raymondfirstborn to have shown what to expect from the 13m build.
oga mi, this is a building class for everyone, we can build the house right now with full cost for people to learn.

I understand we can go at high class with finishing which I will count as LUXURY finishing and not the AVERAGE he is talking about. Quoting 13m for an average 3 bedroom is too much. I built a 4 bedroom in a swamp and I know how much I spent not to talk of dry land.

Most builders and engineers scare intending house owners with ridiculous price like they are building Dubai houses. The main practical dey happen for site and not that package quotations and overhyped designs that will end up ugly after wasting cash.

raymondFirstborn:
No one is scaring anybody here.
I hope you know average finishing consist of pop ceilings, wall screeding , china tiles, cabinets, Aluminum casement windows, flush doors, electrical and plumbing fittings.

NB:
Average finishing doesn't mean low income o

Average finishing is different from low income finishing with asbestos and pvc ceiling board.
I understand what an AVERAGE finishing is. We can both start the breakdown. 6-8m for an average finishing is fair compared to your 13m

raymondFirstborn:
Nature of soil
Location
Type of finishing are key determinants when it comes to building cost.

On dry land (average finishing) budget N13m.
Waterlogged land N15m.
average finishing shouldn't be 13m on dry land, average finishing should be between 6m-8m for a 3 bedroom flat. Make una no dey scare intending house owners with ridiculous quote. sad

Baba, try to download the app o.

There's things that would interest you, as 60% or more of the items we use in Nigeria are imported from China.

You'll find items there cheaper than what you'll get them in Nigeria.

For instance, the POP Ceiling light (AKA Rope Light) in Nigeria sells for about ₦10,000. But if your order from Aliexpress, it's less than ₦5,000 just that it would arrive between 14-21 days
if you don't follow the right channel to import from china, you will pay ridiculous price to collect that good from customs. Please be informed that we have those that can help you import from china with little charges without delay and extra charges.

A funny thing happened at my site yesterday. A man living Abroad came back to Nigeria last week and decided to come check the house they built for him after 13 years living Abroad. This particular house is the first house in my avenue with 100% finishing 2 flats bungalow.

He was shocked and disappointed cos he thought they built the house in lekki or ajah Axis grin

He said he can't live here (he can't live with the poor and average people i guess) and told them to sell the house.

He left with anger and disappoinment angry

Even though his person in Nigeria built the house to his taste, at least she should be honest with him with the location. But the woman said he wasn't serious and he doesn't want the man to be scared of building house that's why she just told him to send money that there is a good land in the island with cheap price grin

So she tricked the man out of "care" for him to manage the little he has to become a landlord cos he wants to live in ajah or lekki axis but he doesn't have the power.

Don’t forget one of the attributes of kobo kobo project. The owner usually buys 2-5 bags of cement at a time. Beat that!

Meanwhile...moving on. I view things from a different perspective. Someone who blames a whole tribe for his misgivings is only venting his personal life frustration. The story as told may not be true. After all there are no witnesses. But we should oblige him.

na we be that. the genuine Kobo Kobo house owner association smiley

Lol.

One of the things that helped us was the lockdown that lasted between March 31st to 4th May, 2020.

The guys that did the piling camped themselves at the site and continued working.

We had 23 pile points to bore, which was done in 20 days.

The span was 15/04/20 to 10th May, 2020
all these date never reach 10month.....not an excuse why you should fall in the Kobo Kobo house crew. go and SIN no more grin

Ignoring tribalism has never solved tribalism in Nigeria. He should be made to realize what he has done and made to apologize because many people are already hurt by this.

honestly I am not. We shouldn't be bias. We shouldn't carry anything religion or tribe on our head. I believe we have more successful and matured people here than any thread.

I value this thread a lot because before someone can think of building house from the little money he/she is getting then he/she must be a complete homo sapiens. We have many enjoyment in Nigeria where we can lavish our money and forget future.

And it's also very stupid for someone to be cheated out of his greed and he blames it on a whole tribe. Do you know how many yorubas that have dealt treacherously with me. I bet you he will still go to Igbo shop because of his fixation. Abeg away with him and all his tribal supporters
concerning his case, he bite himself. We have honest nlders that can bring anything you need to your site. They have names and they won't want to spoil it. People must eat from us cos we eat from people too.

Tribe is nonsense to me, I love anybody that's good to me and hate anyone that's bad to me and I don't care about your tribe.
