There is no particular reason. The work is still on-going. I took these pictures when i went home for xmas. I was told that the most difficult is the plastering of the decking so they decided to plaster that first. That was what led to the plastering of the entire downstairs.
Ok! Just wondering because I know most people/builders start from the top-down. You have done so very well! Can't wait to roof mine. Good job!

Am not in the best position to tell you the number of blocks, cement, and sand load you need but I know that the labour cost (N800,000) is way too much!

For a 3 bedroom of the dimension you gave, you will need between 1800 and 2000 pieces of blocks. Labor for setting blocks is as follows:

N4000 to set 90 blocks on the average. If you do the maths, you will need about N90,000 to set about 2000 blocks.

Cost of 9'' blocks is as follows:
2000 blocks @ N160 per block is N320,000

Cement requirement is as follows:
You need 1 bag to set about 70 blocks. For 2000 blocks, you need apprx. 30 bags.
30 bags @N2000 per bag is N60,000

Sand:
You will need less than 20 tonnes of sharp sand to set 2000 blocks.
1 trip of 20 tonnes is about N45,000.

Note: This excludes foundation. Prices are assumed to be in Lagos specifically Ikorodu area.

Hope this helps.

@Elsafema, N800k seems too much for bricklaying job.

Find out if the price includes plastering and fencing of the house.

As for materials, its a hard thing to do without adequate knowledge of the site.

There are 3 bedroom you can build with N1m and there are 3 bedroom you can build with N5m - it depends on the quality of the construction.

Two 13 x 16ft room side by side would us 600+ blocks. Doors and windows already taken into consideration.

So, be sure of what you are going into before you start the project.

@Spyder880

I asked this question before, can you please respond to it

[I hail you guys in this house, I have been following the thread and I can say it has been really educative.

I am planning of building for commercial purpose somewhere called Ugbomro in Warri environs in Delta State
I asked my architect to come up with a plan and he propose a plan of three 2 bedroom flats and four self contain
It is going to be a story building with two 2 bedroom flats and a self contain upstairs while downstairs will have one 2 bedroom flats and three self contain units.
the land is a 100ft by 50ft and on a dry flat ground.

It appears it will be lucrative for business as regards yearly returns, but what do you guys advised.
I will post the plan soonest, when I am able to scan.]
Re: The Real Cost Of Building A 6 Bedroom Duplex (reloaded) by spyder880(m): 11:04am On Jan 21, 2012
^^ In Nigeria, with our rising population commercial properties will always be lucrative. But we are waiting for you to post the plans so we can analyse better.

Back to classroom to ask @Spyder et al a question on plumbing.

When doing plumbing, how is the toilet waste (from toilet) and used water (from bathroom, kitchen etc) distributed?. What i mean is that do they go into the same soakaway or to diffferent soakaway or is it that the toilet waste goes into the soakaway while the used water from bathroom, kitchen etc is allowed to follow into an adjoining gutter.
Re: The Real Cost Of Building A 6 Bedroom Duplex (reloaded) by princeonx: 3:11pm On Jan 21, 2012

If every water used in your house from bath to kitchen and laundry all go into your soakaway then you should be ready to empty it every other month especially if your house is a commercial property. I believe every waste water is channel through a different drainage/gutter to run into the public waste water line (gutter) mostly/mainly outside your compound. If you don't have such waste line or if none passed through your area since your project is in the villa then I guess all waste water or gutter will be Chanel to just flow somewhere behind or beside your fence outside the compound. Another way I've seen people do it is dig another soakaway without plastering the floor so that the ground will consume the waste water but I sometimes wonder for how long/years will that happen. Am sure the pro's will shine more light on your question.

Madam just boxed me out of the light brown option, she wanted the bush green or another color I showed her, a darker shade of blue, almost navy blue. Let me see if I can still find the color chart.

OK, found it. The color I was referring to is the 'No6' color on the attached chart and I can still remember they called it the royal blue color.
