ChybuzzDD: Thanks for this information. Definately, 4M should comfortably deck a 3-bedroom flat. What do you mean by chippings? Can I share you the qty of materials I got as quote? |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by ChybuzzDD(m): 12:32pm On May 24 |
Deeegbee: Chippings are granites No, 4m won't likely be enough because of the current costs of rods, woods, cements and granites. 1 Like |

ChybuzzDD: Possibly 4.5M then? |

Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by ChybuzzDD(m): 1:33pm On May 24 |
Deeegbee: Let's say 5 to 6m. Rods are very expensive now and about half of your total budget will go into just buying them. 2 Likes |

alphabbey1: It’s a pity; you didn’t mention your location. Experts here could have been able to advise you well. Be careful, my brother. Dem go skwana your money. Are the rods locally made or imported or TMT? A local TMT (usual one) is not more than N1,050,000 per tonne for 16mm. Local ones are between N700k and N800k. Buy your binding wire at the place where the rods are bought too and it would be cheaper. If the binding wire looks too stronger for bending, your iron benders will help you burn it a little with tyres and it would become softer. The wood planks you need to buy the ones that are cut with band (bahn) saw, for them to be straight and be useful for lintel and decking so as not to be leaking your concrete. Don’t let them supply you anyhow woods because the prices quoted for the woods up there are not for the band saw type. There would be too many short and bad ones among them. For wood planks of 1x9 and 1x6, kukuma buy 1x12 and pay them a token to rip the planks to your desired sizes. The off cuts can be useful for so many things onsite. So, calculate all the 1 x 12 you would need together and negotiate it once. For plumbing, ask him if he is using semi-thick or thick imported. I will advise you use thick imported. Go and buy it yourself. Let the seller show you samples and you would notice the differences. Be there when they are laying or fixing the pipes or let someone who is articulate be there. Let them wash off the dust and dirt on the pipes and clean the pipes with dry cloth before applying gums. Let them apply the gums generously for you not to have a leaking pipe. Those nails are expensive e.g. the 3” is between N30k to N36k per bag. Iron bending could be negotiated to N45k per tonne of iron bent by an iron bender. Just calculate cost per size of the rod bent, using the N45k (total number of rods in a particular mm, divided by N45k) then multiply it by actual number of the class of rods used by the bender. There’s nothing listed there that you can’t buy by yourself. 5 Likes |

Evening all. Planning to resume my project I need a rough estimate to get the following done. 1. Electrical Wiring (Considering going off grid in the next 5 years) 2. Plumbering system Note: 1. It’s a 4 bedroom with 4 baths 2. Location is Mowe, Ogun State. 3. This estimate is to help me know how much I need to have at hand before I call on electrician and plumber. 2 Likes |

alphabbey1: What baffles me most on here is people look at a quotation and they conclude it's too much.... WITHOUT HAVING A VIEW OF THE AREA OR DETAILS associated with the estimate. For note. A 2 bedroom can cost 1m to build while a 1 bedroom wld cost 2m. Its not by number of rooms and it's not by area alone... My advice is simple. Get sm1 to do the estimate for you for comparism sake... The elevations you attached don't have enough details to know if the estimate is excessive or not. Goodluck. 2 Likes |

BrickDevo: Prices of building materials are generally the same across the country these days(except few stuffs like granites that are costlier in the SE & SS regions), and workers charge approximately the same amount, irrespective of state/locality. I'm not sure location favours anyone currently. 2 Likes |

I was looking for a small bachelor pad design to build on my farm when I came across this building. I calculated the money spent with the Nigeria exchange rate and it was 6 million naira for a single room and a toilet. I think this is way too much for such building, not even a mini room and parlor with kitchen. Who has a mini one bedroom bungalow design with a big store attached to it to keep livestock feeds?
