I have increased the number of workers making blocks in this site and expect to have almost all the blocks needed for the upper floor by weekend. I got word that the iron fitters are done with the job, they have left the site. I am sure the carpenters returned to site yesterday to complete the decking framing before the casting. The plumber has completed his work and left the site. The electrician is busy working since yesterday and should complete the work today. Sand and gravel supply is going smoothly, there is no reason why they cannot get enough for us to work with. Casting this decking has been planned for tomorrow, just making sure we are ready in all respects............ |

spyder880: Very rugged. This old Jetta took my tank to site and the roads were deplorable that time of the year. I bought a Jetta for my Wife when she got here due to its dependability.

Good work Spider...hugely impressed. I do have some questions for u and other experienced guys in the house. From what I see you might spend about 6m after roofing (just a guess) My questions... 1. If I give u 6m will u build the same (minor adjustments) 4 me here in Enugu or Orlu (both lands are flat and dry? 2. I intend building in 3 stages of 2m each over 2years...max. How do u advice the stages should go? Or do I stock materials with the first batch of 2m? To show that I don't only read ur posts (and those of others) I have just purchased a land and nearly completed fencing in d villa. Thank God I know what nairaland property section is. You guys are really encouraging. 6 Likes

ceelog: Lets not jump the gun na we are still on a journey to know what the final costs will be. I pray it will not climb to N6m, although my village people might refuse to give me that cheiftancy title if I don't hang stone coated roofing tiles on this building, my in laws might even get annoyed and withdraw their daughter from my house (joking) The point I am trying to make is that the final cost is not clear to me now, and when it becomes clear, should I build your house with exact cost as my own, who will pay my service charges for supervision? Or should I also do yours for free as I am doing this one? I get four hungry kids who must eat and go to school o 26 Likes |

spyder880:Oga Spyder, You have been a great inspiration to us. I am having similar duplex (4 bedroom) built for me. My question is, If iron stones (Like These ones you posted on the thread) are used for dpc, casting of pillars, Decking etc instead of granite, wont i have a solid house ?. I am not trying to economize selfishly; but wondered if it wont have same effects on a building like granite do, even as it saves cost overall. in addition, how much can i get a tipper of the iron stones in Aba/PH. Any contacts?.

Alwaysareward: If you can afford granite chippings, they are better, and they are more expensive. I do not have their cost details, especially in Aba. |

Oga Spyder I think its very good that you are educating all of us, but only you sabi the knowhow. So what will be good is some kind of summary of ways to reduce building cost, be it reuse of materials, negotiating tactics, actions, decision making etc. I appreciate that some things may not apply to some of us due to location etc, but most of your techniques should be universally applicable. Forever humble. I hail Oga spyder. 2 Likes |
