all I can see here is lack of supervision

Can't you keep quiet for once and let the issue be resolve. Haba . Solution you no get , to me you just making noise awon fire 2 geng

bobkezel:

I was actually thinking keeping all the rooms same level, ie if I'm stepping down I will step down the whole rooms in the house to be same level . But if I'm not stepping down then no room (including the sitting room) will be stepped down.
So I don't know how it will look like make the whole rooms step down. Any body has similar structures?

bixton:


The best response to your question is to do a "ramp" as part of it to accommodate such for the aged/elderly.

That wheelchair you are looking at is more expensive than average Nigeria houses. They are out of reach, except you want to sell the house to buy a wheelchair.

Trust me for a pro-people government, things can be done better. If government work the way it should work, some of the cost in building processes can be reduced. You shouldn'thave to sink your own borehole and have separate septic tanks if there is public water supply and sewage system. Government have resources to build mass housing for the populace. They can create a honest mortgage for people to pay up over like 20-30 years. How do you expect people who earn below 100k monthly to save up to afford 5m to build a house. We also need to review mass building design take care of the reality of our people. Most Nigerians actually don't need more than 1 bedroom (room and palour) or at most 2bedroom apartment. The present mortgage through the national housing fund is a joke. Most contributors can't access the fund because in most instances they don't have proper title over their land.

I've lay low on this though.

Even the FG with all concessions and everything cannot build a low cost 2 bedroom house in Nigeria with N5m. A lot of things are easier said than done.

Ogun gov is paying over N2.5m for the foundation of 2 units of 2 flats (direct labour). When you factor in the cost of the land, the shell, the finishing (no matter how cheap you decide to go), the external works (septic tank, tank tower, borehole, fencing. gate etc). You'd understand N5m is nothing when you're considering habitable house in Nigeria.

The elites always underestimate the earning power of the half-educated folks.. so we often assume they're not making anything. Even my bricklayers have more than N5m house.


___________

Let me just give you ideas of what it costs to build an average house in Nigeria

Do you think anyone can spend anything less than the amount below to achieve a livable house in this age? If yes, kindly remove items you think are unnecessarily expensive from the list.

Land - 500k
Foundation - 700k
Shell - 750k
Roof - 550k
Ceiling - 200k
Windows - 350k
Doors - 200k
Plastering - 400k
Bathroom/Plumbing - 250k
Kitchen - 100k
Flooring - 200k
Electrical - 200k
Septic tank - 200k
Water - 100k
Fence - 200k

Please stop this your old ideology for building mass housing. Your cost analysis may not be possible, if government is determined to build homes for its citizens at low cost the, can do it with today technology. Most houses are prefabricated in factories, if Chinese can build 1,500 rooms of emergency hospitals in one week what stop us doing the same. I wish I can upload a video of a community of 500 houses including all its utilities, part ways, recreative center, etc that was built here in 6 months. Please house can be pre-fabricated in factory assembly in 48 hours with the present technology. It is possible to build over 1000 houses in three months. Sorry jare, the reply is for Brabus ooo

bixton:



How many Nigerians do you think would want to really actually literally live in a prefabricated home even if you make it free?

kopell:
My brother when I say prefabricate home I mean houses, are you telling the won’t live in a home of $200k and above. I’m not talking of the junk houses they are building over there.

sgtponzihater1:


How many people can afford this 200k above house also?

bixton:



So you're envisaging that while the lobby(s) will be stepped up every other section of the house will be stepped down. It will look good. It's all about your choice. But I'll advice if you're doing such, ensure the stepped down is 100mm(4" instead of 150mm(6".

In the future, when people grow old and are wheel chair bound or use some sort of mobility aid, how do they navigate this step down design?

There's a common believe amongst some persons that if you are not building on the island, that "aseju ni pile foundation, raft tiwa okay" .. that's the end result.

I was coming down from 3rd mainland bridge inward oworonishoki and can't but marvel at how much sinking building I saw on that axis.

Naijapal:


Reason why I dont fancy it.
When I relocated from from one place to another, that's how I was still climbing non existent step for some days.

Ibk2020:


This is so funny.
So what about duplex with many steps?

Yaba and Oworo aren't island na..

Exactly bro, @n3xt @saydfact and other professionals pls what do you think about this.
