Price of dollar is coming down but price of materials keep on increasing . Coleman increase their price this Monday. Now nigerchin is cheaper than Coleman and because Coleman increased their price Nigerchin is planning to increase again. Things are not going normal in this country. Imported duty is increasing as well.

It is well with Nigeria

Experts in the house.

Kindly give the various steps in building construction:
- Site Preparation
- Foundation digging,
etc.

I thought it was discussed sometime in the past but I cannot locate it again.
Thank you.

How much do these cost?

Depending on source and your location, you’d get:

MDF - 19,000 - 21,500
HDF - 29,000 - 32,000

**Lagos price only

I think you will benefit a lot with a strategic investment on tools and work related acquisitions, hiring is a large, untapped segment of our construction industry needing investors. And with your work localized in mostly Lagos, Ogun, Oyo and the whole south west, you will make it big in a short time. Not like me running 5 states, the transportation and logistics cost will kill the business for me. Not to talk of all these security agents standing at every kilometre or so in the east, they will just be seizing the tools or materials as they like, for obvious reasons of course.

You are doing well, well done Sir.
Trust and secureness is a big issue in the tool rental industry

Plant and machinery hiring business is huge bro. Instead of chasing small businesses, why not focus on large corporations that’ll not give you stress.

One of my big bro was doing Lafarge before he finally retired into hotel business. Now he’s doing stuffs with Nestle.

My brother, change is not easy here at all, prices soaring away everyday. The only people I pity are those that are owing me for all the materials I paid for over 3 months ago. I have many rods, and about 350 bags of cement with two different dealers waiting for collection. 100 bags at N3,000 each and 250 bags at N3,150. I hope they won't fight me when I come to pick the cement later this month.
Oga that is the smart way to do things in this volatile markets, preload all the needed material before starting the project, the question is how many of us can afford to do that. I hope your up front payment for those cement will not course argument with suppliers at the time of pick up after 3 months

No I don't think so, these guys has known me for too long and we always have this agreement. This was how I started building houses in 1998. As a boy then, I will be paying for 15, 20, or even 10 bags of cement at a dealers shop with my salary till I will have about 150 bags. I also did same with rods and all other materials. By the time i move and do a decking to completion, my friends were surprised.

It's a great way to save money for those who cant keep money, as well as a way to defeat inflation. Just do a foundation excavation and then start buying materials and waiting, you will find new reasons to save more and avoid waste. That's how we started investing in properties those early years.

Please remember to do this with only established names, not dealers that can pack up and run away with money tomorrow.

Please how much would you say is the ballpark figure for the carcass of 4 units of two bedroom apartments if there are two units on the ground floor and two units on top. It's a dry land

Cc rotecch77, n3xt, spyder880 EgunMogaji2

On dry land as you said, prepare something in region of 18-20m this depends others additional members like parapet or concrete facia, this is south west ballpark figure to the roofing stage with long span Aluminum of 0.55guage

On side note cost estimating is QS professional job it’s just a side work for a Builder based on past and current project experience.

QS guys over to you

Lets everyone stay on there lane.

Most of them are leaking/broken.
Some were installed wrongly too.

The most affected of the conduit pipes are those for electrical wires.


Sorry sir. This is so painful. Knowing your desire for excellence, I'm surprised you didn't do due diligence on the plumber/electrician.
Anything embedded in the concrete must be properly supervised.

A decade ago, on this same platform people built a standard 3 bedroom block of flat with 20 - 25m.

Then we were buying a bag of cement #1200

I always recommend that is better to start with what you have then gradually build, 1.5m can never do it, unless you wan use clay complete am halfway with no parapet.

My 1st personal house built 14 years ago was roofed with asbestos and one other building for a Client ( relative) was the only two building I used such All others are 0.55guage Aluminum or Gerald step tiles
