ojasweb: It’s a quite and serene environment back then, not too much development. But those lots facing the Atlantic directly. And it’s not water logged. |

HacheNoire: With your description, the area is along Seme border and the most popular beach on the left side is Suntan beach. The bridge you're talking about is the Gbaji bridge to the major customs checkpoint. There are small small villages along the road but they are not popular. |

ojasweb: You should be right. I was attracted to that beach. It’s pure then. Not like the dirty ones you find on the island. Is beach still clean? |

HacheNoire: Yes, absolutely. I should be there by Wednesday, hopefully. |

The building is now 90% ready for roofing , the casting of the lintel and front arc should complete tomorrow., I used your design exactly but due to the side of the land 50by100, i reduced it to 3bedroom and 2 sitting rooms.. but the rooms are big and the entire building is very massive .. e long die.. e Dey give me joy but ehn , the money I don spend no be here .. Now pls my brother , I need your help on something , I will love the break down of the cost of roofing ( the plank ) , and the Gerard and parapet. Pls note , I have ZERO knowledge on building material or even building house itself .. I’m a very very busy person and i have someone on ground for supervision ( I can’t have the time for supervision honestly, I can only go to see the work done ).. pls how much will the plank cost me And how much will the Gerard cost me, How much will the parapet cost Is parapet artwork the best or casting ? Pls again I have zero knowledge of anything concerning building bro.. see I don’t even know the size of the rooms ![]() 3 rooms 2 parlors, 1kitchen , big dinning ![]() I want to have the rough estimate so that when I’m ready I’ll just go get it and carry carpenter for measurement , just give me breakdowns sir. If you don’t mind sir you can send me pictures of the front arc , cos is like the carpenters seems not to get it.. And pls don’t quote this post, just mention my moniker.

@seanwilliam For the roof, I bought; 500 pieces of 2by4 (hardwood) 400 pieces of 2by3 (hardwood) 24 pieces of 2by6 (hardwood) nails The wood, nails and transport cost about 700,000 Naira. The carpenter collected 90,000 Naira. I bought 380sqm gerard shingles at the rate of 3,250 per sqm. Ridges and gutter, 145,000 Naira. Transport of gerard to the site 35,000 Naira. Covering of the house 70,000 Naira. These are the major ones. |
Re: Construction Of 3 Bedroom Bungalow In Badagry - My Expenses And The Progress by seanwilliam(m): 8:06pm On Feb 15, 2022 |
ojasweb:god bless you sir. Which means I should estimate roughly 2.4m for the roofing, Gerard and parapet… People I met in the site ( and the workers) advised that I should cast the parapet .. Do you suggest I cast it or I should go for artwork type .. I’m considering cost effective and sturdiness .. . Swear bro na you motivate me to start o but ehn, my acct don Dey feel am o ![]() ![]() |
Re: Construction Of 3 Bedroom Bungalow In Badagry - My Expenses And The Progress by ojasweb(m): 10:04pm On Feb 15, 2022 |
seanwilliam: The artwork type is better for two reasons: 1. Lighter weight on the wall. 2. Cheaper both in resources and workmanship. Most people that recommend the cast type don't know how the artwork type works. But with my experience when my own was mounted, i will always go with the artwork type. Also, 2.4M will no longer be enough for your roof considering the fact that gerard is now about 4k per sqm as against my own which was 3,250 per sqm. 1 Like |

system000001: I can give you, but the guy can be very annoying o. He likes to delay work especially when it's almost done. He nearly made me run into price increase for gerard due to his delay. |

Oduduwa707: The painter (a close friend) calculated the materials needed for screeding and painting together (on my instruction). The painting plus material was 800k I think he paid the screeder 50k. |

Let me update this thread since i have not finished the project. Though i already moved in. On the first week of December, 2021, i attempted to sink the soakaway but water didn't allow us. For that December attempt, 8 bags of dangote cement, 6 bags of quick dry cement, hole-less blocks, and nylon, all wasted due to the unsuccessful attempt. Those worker also collected 30,000 Naira despite the failed attempt. I was happy because i learnt a major lesson and i didn't feel bad for wasting almost 100k for the attempt. After that December attempt, i have to wait for the water level to go down. So, towards the end of February 2022, i made a second attempt and this time, it was successful. How we did it. I hired 2 pumping machine for 2 days. Both need to work for about 36 hours. I bought 10 bags of dangote cement, and 8 bags of quick dry cement. I also bought nylon. I bought 60 pcs of 6 inches hole-less blocks. I bought 30 litres of fuel (200 Naira per litre) We dried the water, cast the floor and allow the pumping machine to run for 36 hours. After the 36 hours, we observe little leakages, very little that the water can't be more than 5 sachets of pure water in 2 hours. However, we can't leave it to continue. I hired a pumping machine this time and we plaster the leaking area and allow the machine to run for 6 hours, and the leakage stopped completely. Next, the carpenter did his work. I bought 12 lenghts of 12mm iron, and 3 lenghts of 10mm to cover the soakaway. 1500 Naira binding wire. For the cover, i bought 8 bags of dangote cement. Below is the complete expenses for the soakaway: 1. The initial carpenter work = 53,000 Naira. 2. 20 lengths of 12mm iron = 4,500 x 20 = 90,000 3. 5 lengths of 10mm iron = 3500 x5 = 17,500 4. binding wire = 3000 Naira 5. Welder (iron bender) workmanship = 25,000 (approximately) 6. 20 bags of dangote cement = 4000 x 20 = 80,000 7. bricklayer workmanship = 15,000 8. Sinking the soakaway = 30,000 Naira 9. 1st attempt casting the floor = 30,000 Naira (workmanship) 10. 8 bags of dangote cement = 4000 x 8 = 32,000 11. 6 bags of quick dry cement = 600 x 6 = 3600 12. 2nd attempt casting the floor = 30,000 (workmanship) 13. rental for 2 pumping machine = 3500 per day (2 day rental for each) = 14,000 Naira 14. 30 litres of fuel = 200 Naira per litre x 30 = 6000 15. 10 bags of dangote cement = 4000 x 10 = 40,000 16. 8 bags of quick dry cement = 600 x 8 = 4800 covering the soakaway 17. capenter = 30,000 Naira 18. 12pcs of 12mm iron = 4,500 each = 54000 19. 1 length of 10mm = 3,500 20. binding wire = 1,500 Naira 21. welder (iron bender) = 10,000 workmanship 22. 8 bags of dangote cement = 4000 x 8 = 32,000 23. bricklayer = 12,000 Naira (workmanship Total = 616,900 (the actual money spent is slightly more than this) 1 Like

ojasweb: Well done Pls I have 2 questions 1. What's the total sqm of your building. 2. What's the height of your roof. Thanks |
Re: Construction Of 3 Bedroom Bungalow In Badagry - My Expenses And The Progress by ojasweb(m): 5:26pm On Mar 18, 2022 |
rukyboy: Total sqm is 380. The height of the roof I can't say accurately but they joined 2 length of 2by6 planks for each of the "kinpost". Note that i am not a builder. I opened the thread mainly because it's a personal project and maybe some people might find it useful. 4 Likes |
