kuntash: For the second day in a row, I dont have water to work. There was no activity on the site today, my workers are still standing by, waiting for the tap to run. If this situation persists, I will buy tankers of water on Monday. The expenses are still N519,850.00 as it was since day before yesterday. |

"Blessed are the Peace-Makers", "KUNTASH", l expect you to be more "diplomatic" when you try to make peace between two people! It does no good to slight one for the other  So, lets keep it real and focused. @Brabus: Thanks very much for that enlightenment! My Builder also mentioned we use that "tie-ing together of the upper part of the house" to give it strenght but he never mentioned the prevention of vermins which you just highlighted! I will also like to ask about the "Plastic Septic Tank" arrangement. Can l have pictures of that and some more detailed info? I have an inherited property in a swampy area that l will like to develop in future and such would come-in handy! Cheers. |

Great thread so far. Please people keep posting and comparing notes and pictures. Cost analysis is very useful for many nairalanders following the discussion. |

@lastpage: The best time to do your septic tank is now. As for the "Plastic Tank", it is still being researched. Most of the tanks we have here in Nigeria are upright designs and are not suitable for the job. I have 2 sites where these have been implement but the results are not ok. The best time to do your septic tank is now.

| Re: The Real Cost Of Building A Six Bedroom Duplex by lastpage: 2:19pm On Mar 05, 2011 |
^^^Are you saying we need the Tanks to be down-facing (as in the openings for "pipe-in and pipe-out" ?What if such Tank is turned "upside-down", is it not possible to achieve he same result? I really think it will be novel, to use big plastic Tanks instead of digging marshy pits which are expensive and do sip-in water eventually, in swampy areas. Abeegi, do "more research" or point me in the right direction to do it, l need to find a solution to this one ASAP! When is the best time ti dig a soak-away pit when building? At what stage is the best? Most l've seen do it when house (block and cement work) is completed Una well-done. BTW: Why is those two holes (to hold the pillars of the overflow, over the front entrance, right?) being dug now? I did mine as part of the German floor, right from scratch! Holds everything together!! Or was it an after-thought? What about "tie-ing" it with two horizontal beams (one linking each pillar) to the building foundation at floor level? I guess it will achieve same purpose that way. |

@Am_Alone: Keep the good work. Thi$ is beautiful |
| Re: The Real Cost Of Building A Six Bedroom Duplex by lastpage: 9:37pm On Mar 05, 2011 |
Nice job, "Am-alone". Could you please upload pictures of those "electrical purchases" for us to see so l can relate with "what-is-what"! Am complete lost right now  Thanks for sharing all these with others. @brabus. How is it going? Hope u'r eating enough "Akpu" to compensate for the energy being put into this job? Cheers bro! @Syder. How's ur weekend going? Has the water people repented? Damn!  In my case, the first thing l did was to dig a "well" using concrete rings and l bought a 'pumping machine and very long hoses". It is from here we got all the water we needed, even for wetting the foundation after filling and for the German floor too! Will that be an option for you? Buying water, in the long run might be costly and unreliable too |
| Re: The Real Cost Of Building A Six Bedroom Duplex by brabus(m): 9:56pm On Mar 05, 2011 |
^^^ Thanks, lastpage. Lol, eating enuf "Akpu". For some weeks now, I've been off the site to supervise another project (which is my Akpu) in Sangotedo, Lagos. Building a house no be small thing o. But we thank God. @Spyder, Just like lastpage, I sunk a well, bought 1,500l tank, did some pipe work, bought a pumping machine and good length of hose first thing before the foundation laying. Its the best option. |

Buying water, in the long run might be costly and unreliable too Actually, I also dig wells before any project is started but in this area, the ground water level is around 80 feet below the surface, only a borehole works around here and we have many in the neighborhood. Water tankers may be the next option next week. |

To Am Alone, Spyder088, baramus, Please post your plumbing quotations and cost of materials, from piping to fitting- if possible. The wiring quotation i received in here in nairaland was informative, i am grateful to you guys for your honest contribution. thanks Ben Imeogu. NJ. |
| Re: The Real Cost Of Building A Six Bedroom Duplex by 2dmax(m): 12:36am On Mar 07, 2011 |
Am Alone:This is much better, but one more thing. Ask the electrician to give the length of the wires. It is usually stated in metres or yards, so you will get an accurate pricing. Thanks. |
| Re: The Real Cost Of Building A Six Bedroom Duplex by AmAlone: 3:40am On Mar 07, 2011 |
He told me, each coil represent 80 yards!!! |
| Re: The Real Cost Of Building A Six Bedroom Duplex by AmAlone: 3:42am On Mar 07, 2011 |
benimeogu: Bros Benimeogu, I have not get to the plumbling stage yet o Immediately after I finish roofing the house, I will call the plumber for the quotation. and the A/C Man to come and do the condict works!!!!! |
| Re: The Real Cost Of Building A Six Bedroom Duplex by kuntash: 7:19am On Mar 07, 2011 |
cinzo: dont be surprised my guy, the intent of the thread is changing, I hope we be able to keep track of the thread owner and his Duplex project in Enugu. I could recall when water corporation started failing in Naija, few people dashed into the pure water biz, as the biz was moving on for them, Many just out of "them say , them say high profit margin" dashed into pure water biz, some fell by the way side, others muscled their way into the biz often knowing NO jack about wats up there, thats naija for u, u rarely see people coming up with their own stuff, instead always wanna latch onto the popular string, 1 Like |

@amalone, how did you do your flooring? Was it before raising the walls or after? And did you use iron rods for the flooring? |
| Re: The Real Cost Of Building A Six Bedroom Duplex by kaymoney2(m): 11:00am On Mar 07, 2011 |
Am Alone: Nice thread I am at this level of Electrical, conduiting, pipping and plumbering I think Am Alone quotation would go along way giving me an insight of what to expect for my 4 bedroom all ensuite bungalow flat, Though since his house is much bigger than mine my expenses on the above should be lesser, Moreso I have put the project unhold till when am around in August to finally complete it, God bless all Landlords and intending landlords, Building a house is not a pure water no water what you are building,

| Re: The Real Cost Of Building A Six Bedroom Duplex by AmAlone: 12:41pm On Mar 07, 2011 |
cinzo: Bros, what I did is german floor. And it was done before raising the block And it is 3 Inches high. Since it was not a water-log area There is no need for putting any iron at all. Some people I know did the floor after raising the blocks. And that is way cheaper and some even do it to 1 or 2 inches high. While some other people do it 4,5 or 6 inches high. My advice. At most let it be 4 inches high. @ Anyone. Please be very carefull with this land of a thing!!! Before buying a land, please make sure the land is a level land(table flat or almost) Do not waste your money buying sloppy lands no matter hw cheap because the cost of building is usually very HIGH!! For example. My foundation is 2 and half coaches above the ground, but the dinning kitchen and store are 3 and 1/2 coaches above the grond and I spend around 150,000 to fill it(please not my house is very high from the ground, compared to most other houses. Some are even same level with the ground while others are just one coach above. that's while) Then I have somebody who spend 1.1million in filling alone. Because the house was built on a very sloppy ground Also, slopply ground require more concrete and iron and pillars and german floor is a must. So be advice Peace |

Am Alone: You are Spot on?? This advantage I enjoyed during the process of filling my site with latterite and setting of blocks My land is flat, regular just like a plain football pith very important observation there Am Alone. |
