The Making Of The "Port Harcourt Mansion" by spyder880(m): 10:08pm On Jun 24, 2013
I love building houses, and the attendant challenges that will inevitably come with it. I love making things happen, and working with skilled men to use materials in creating beautiful designs that will make a superb home. I have just been contracted by a Nairalander to build his house in Port Harcourt. The details are as follows;

Project: A 5 bedroom executive duplex
Client : A Nairalander
Duration: 60 days
Project cost: N8.8m (Foundation-roofing, materials and labour)
Contractor: Ckenneths Homes Nig.

This project will start this week as we arrange to travel down to the city and start work. This house comes with all the latest designs in modern building, granite, decent room arrangement with bigger bedrooms, internal plumbing and electricals, special parapet cornice, stone coated roofing tiles, everything.......

I am already falling into step with PH, even after spending only 5 hours in the city, the blue cabs and traffic......

Re: The Making Of The "Port Harcourt Mansion" by spyder880(m): 10:23pm On Jun 24, 2013
Of course I will have to master the flow of traffic, and learn all the names of important locations, how to move from the site to markets and every spot that will make our stay here a huge success.

You have a good point, PH is expensive in most things, from granite to sand and even the labour costs here na die! But I will be pushing the boundaries of focused spending with a deep knowledge about the safest ways to pay lower and get more for less. I will also be coming in with my team of workers from Enugu, and they must agree to work with me in PH with Enugu labour rates. I will build a 'batcher' for them to live on this site.

No, this does not require a raft foundation, area is Eliozu. I took time to monitor the environment and saw all the buildings going on around the area. Its dry ground here.

Hello Spyder, I have decided not to be just a spectator on this wonderful thread. I want to also contribute to your success. I will be suggesting a few ways I think you can help your client save cash. With your experience, you can let me know if it makes sense. I strongly believe we spend too much on building construction in Nigeria.

My first suggestion has to do with blocks. Do you intend to use 9 inch blocks? If yes, do you think that you can save by adopting framed construction method (beams and columns) with 5inch blocks as cladding or at least for all internal walls? U can still use 9 inch on the external walls.
