Before I built my first house I used to be afraid of the exaggerated figures I read for the cost of buildings on this thread. I learnt to start with what I have and I noticed I usually don't spend up to 65% the projected estimate. Not once,not twice and not thrice. If I should post the current project I am sure I will read figures above 60 million. 5 Likes |

bobkezel:Part of reason why I seldom comment here because cabals here will surely attack me in one way or the other. There are lots of Nairalanders I've worked for,there are lots that they've become House owner today due to my affordable housing costs and well details threads I created on Nairaland and the conveniences of getting materials easily for my Cl. Below is my ongoing Project(Two bedroom Semo detached) in Akure for a member here.We haven't spent UpTo 6m to this stage. Ask them to quote price for you,be expecting 10m plus 3 Likes

Born2conquer:Please don’t be discouraged with those numbers, start with as little as 200k little by little before you know it, will be at roofing stage. Our fingers are not equal. Some people can afford to put 85% of entire materials needed before they start . 2 Likes |

olukaygold:Oga house are different okay, that your amount can’t do other people foundation. Please ask those that are doing piling for their foundation, in some areas it’s cost over 12 million to do piling alone. Please don’t think everyone will build those kind of projects. We should not generalize. 9 Likes |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by olukaygold(m): 9:02pm On Dec 20, 2022 |
kopell:Oga! Whenever you want to Judge. Compare that building with nearly something similar to it before passing your Judgement. I don't even think you'd reason so low like this Modified I'm so sorry for using that derogatory word, it's a split of tongue pls. 2 Likes |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by kopell: 9:17pm On Dec 20, 2022 |
olukaygold:Oga ooo, me so low. Is okay, I notice it’s hard for you to take correction from professional here, even in the process of some of your projects. You most understand the entire blocks you used to build some of your projects, can’t fence other peoples projects. That why I said we should not generalize. You’re comparing cost of building in Akure to other places ko jo rawon na. Savings shouldn’t be a trap of death. I hope you remember Ikoyi gate? To old for person of your age. 6 Likes |

kopell:Each Professional has a way of handling Project differently. The way you handle yours is quite different from the way I'll handle mine. I won't say much. But next time you cabal want to criticize,pls criticize with something similar. Below is 2pairs of fabricated Gates I did for Less than 200k per pair(No inferior/light materials) to a Nairalander in Abeokuta. I'd have spend less if I know where to source for Steel bar Materials directly from the head-office in Abeokuta. Go price it outside and hear the Price. ; 2 Likes

Project cost is very subjective. Materialswise and finishing wise. But I doubt that in Abuja that house would cost anything less than 100m. |

olukaygold:oga I bet you money, the materials used to arrive at 200k are at best 1mm sheet. If you touch anything 1.5mm, the price will hit 300 at least 2 Likes |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by olukaygold(m): 10:14pm On Dec 20, 2022 |
michlins:Oga! I disagree. The materials even with 2mm is less than 200k. Na me buy the materials. I can do this with 160k in Adoekiti/Ilorin with 2mm plates(Only Materials). 2 Likes |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by michlins(m): 10:30pm On Dec 20, 2022 |
olukaygold:ok, what's the current price of 2mm sheet and how many did you use. If you stick to 2mm materials all round, materials alone will be above 300k I can point out the areas that show the guage of pan you used but that's not why we are here. Mine you that to build a very lasting gate, you need to frame with angle bars and not the 3 by 1½ pipe you used there. Those pipes will rust in less than five years. The anchors on the gate should be at least three (four is industry standard) to handle the weight of the gate else the weight will be on the top anchor and it will die off quickly. I don't mean to disparage your work but the way you cut costs affects quality. 10 Likes |

Godisgreatest1:if your home was up to Standard then show us the test cube results from lab analysis and not the house covered in a beautiful paint. You did yours with baba sikiru, non Engineered that's fine but pls don't encourage that kind of thing here. To get a home up to code you are looking at those figures bro. So just codedly do your thing and stay low-key but when those who want to build to Standard and withstand all harsh weather conditions then let them do it how it should be. 7 Likes 1 Share |

michlins:This is where you all always got it wrong with all this big big English just to convince the client in other to collect big money, I did exactly what the what the cl sent me. did you know the thickness of the 3/1½ I used?No, even the plates you mentioned,pls mention the quality here ooo. All your listed critics are just fallacies that doesn't hold water. I used 3/1½ on my first building Gate and it's still standing gallant 4yrs and still counting.Lots of rectangle gates You see here and there are 3/1½ for the frame work. Oga 2mm plate is sold around 30k each, I won't name materials needed cos You sef won't do it,but do the calculation yourself sebi you're a welder. Fact remain "I won't spend up to 160k if I'm to fabricate it either in Adoekiti/Ilorin". 6 Likes |

olukaygold:You have failed to calculate the amount of time, miscellaneous you spent doing the errands etc and how much you pay yourself doing them. I will like to point out one thing. They are Engineers, Architect and Artisans that have grown pass certain amount of Job pay just like in every profession based on experience and work load, it doesn't mean you can't get the job done. Secondly taste and finishing varies. Someone will still build the same two bedrooms with less than a 5m and someone will do same for 15m. We have seen people build without DPC, without reinforcement except the lintels, flat roofing with Cameroon zinc, local stone, local sand(Erosion sand), moulding 45-50 blocks with 1 bag of cement, mixing ration of 1:6:6, low quality casement, paint window protector and electrical fittings etc. I can go on and on. Don't generalize your opinion because you want to advertise yourself but if you claim l'm wrong, list the quality of materials used. 5 Likes |
