Muyi002: Muyi, Muyi, Muyi. How many times I call you? Do that water stand now!!! make that one commot for ground and buy the pumping machine keep. It will not get cheaper. By June, July and even August prices of building materials no go funny. I have done 40ft water tower just few years back for 470k. Today it is over one million. So for me, anything that can be completely achieve with available funds, I achieve it straight away and get that off the spreadsheet. 3 Likes |

somehow: Smiles. Let me keep kwayet. A lot of us here do know there are housing schemes that are far cheaper than our current builds yet we won’t explore that option because it’s either not built to our taste or we want more. I can see we are truly trying to solve housing deficit in Nigeria dramatically. Even someone with 500k want to build his own house instead of exploring alternative options. |

diordaves:you can't get 40ft tank for 1ml today. E must add few hundreds of thousands. The effects of the devaluation of naira will start hitting soon and also when petrol is fully deregulated,e no go funny again. That's why I tell people,if you have the funds do that job and forget about it immediately. The hyperinflation we are going to experience soon will shock and confuse economists |

n3xt: Then what they built is not in tandem with the standard of living of their people. Main reason why majority of Nigerians can't buy brand new cars. Standard of living. So build what your people can afford. A true low cost housing estates. You can't be selling a 2 bedroom for 5 million (total cost) in Ogun state or even Osun, then claim they are "low cost". How much is an average earning power of your target market? 4 Likes |

n3xt: If you have the money they want to sell their available "low cost houses" for in cash, will you buy to live or build yours instead? Anyways, I rest my case. |

somehow:you need to understand that people who invest heavily in real estate in Nigeria are running from something and trying to wash illicit funds. That's why they can afford to build a house without renting it out cause they have absolutely nothing to lose. 80% of Nigerians don't have 5ml cash but someone will be building a house and wanting to collect 5ml as rent annually. While some of the houses will be occupied probably because of their prime locations and stuff, majority will remain empty 2 Likes |

michlins: Your comment is collaborating mine. This is what @nxt is missing. That there are vacant houses in various estates is not a sign that we don't have housing deficit. Those houses were not truly built to solve the problem. 3 Likes |

Hello professionals in the house. I'm here to seek the advice of the professionals here concerning my family's new house project. It's a four bedroom pent house. Here are my questions; 1) what are the step by step stages of building the house from scratch to finishing? 2) is it adviceable to keep materials such as tiles, wc etc after fixing window and exit doors. 3) concrete or iron water tank, which is the best for a small family? 4) do we need to plaster the inside of the building before fixing pop and windows? 5) we are thinking of using roofing sheets to do the parapet instead of concrete. I hope that is a good idea. Thanks in advance |

africaflozy: 1 After securing your land (Get the Necessary Plans & drawing ready) to beginning of foundation . To lintel level to roofing stage. Once it gets to roofing stage. Most activities begin. a) Plumbing works b)Wiring c) Windows & Doors d) Plastering c)Then Interior : POP then tiling , etc Painting should come last. 2 yeah. If area is secured 3 Oga @Michilins can do justice to that. Although i might go with concrete (if it was my build) 4 Yes. You must Plaster before fixing POP 5 it's not a bad idea (Am not so Sure) . I'd advise you go for concrete Parapet. I hope this helps a bit. I'll leave the rest to my ogas in the house to do a proper Break down & Hopefully Better explanation. Cheers. |

spyder880: Nice one Spyder Got carried away reading all through to the last page but Non depict what we have here, cables were not stoled by breaking in or by other artisans on the job but by the artisan(electrician) while at work. Nevertheless, peeps should get familiar with their build environment n know what will possibly work best for them. Interact with neighbors n the likes to know what happens around n another thing that can be done is to raise your block all through your perimeter wall to make it impossible to break in through the ceiling(eaves)- it comes at a price though |

Badgers14: The good thing about NL is the difference in opinions. For me, I believe that paint buckets are for the client's except the painter stated from the beginning that it is "CONTENT ONLY" he is supplying. I have bought paints from Dulux this year. I've bought some American paints too. None of them requested for buckets. I've also little bought from Oga GBADEXY. You can't sell an egg without its shell. 2 Likes |

somehow: Except its subsidized, you can't even make gains by selling housing units for 5 million. Ajimobi Estate in Alafara, Ibadan is selling for just 5 - 6million (three years back it was just 3.5million) but people aren't buying. There's also a mental block somewhere concerning housing schemes. Yoruba will say "why buy a house that they can't bury you inside". Besides most estates (like Ajorosun in Moniya) only have a 74 year lease on the land. The fear of what happens next, after 74 years, is also a fear factor. 1 Like |
