bebe2: Hehehe. Very funny. U would have discussed with the moulder yourself. How many blocks to mould from a bag and how much to pay for moulding a bag. Most times, its even better to ask people he has moulded for to review him before u give him the job. If they know u know what they know, it won't be so easy to cheat you. Buy the materials yourself. Let me give u a trick my mum use on my brothers. She gives them money to buy the material and before the work starts, they snap the material and send to her via wassap. At the end of the day, they also snap the used bags and send to her via wassap too. Work done is also shaped and sent to her via wassap on daily basis. 1 Like |

mercylicious: Ahhhhh my dear, I know where my money went. No be builder. My sister used it on her self. Let me amuse u wit one " send me picture" maya I dealt with. After asking my sister to send me pictures on several occasions and she refusing I put a hold on a project dat not until I see the blocks the past money is used for I won't send any more money. My darling sister took her son and the went round the neighbourhood looking for moulded blocks to snap and sent it to me. The thing was so Zoomed in I cudnt S3e the surrounding . So I started to threaten d son and he opened up dat it was not our house but some where in the neighbourhood. Now u know wat am dealing wit 9 Likes |

I am very glad that I jam this thread. Greetings to Oga spider and all contributors to this thread. I am also building a 5 bedroom duplex that is very similar to the one in progress. I am also using 9 inches block on the ground floor with a few 6 inches that was used to partition a toilet and the kitchen. I have already added 3 couches of block on top of the lintel thereby finishing block work on the ground floor. My next undertaking will be the decking, which I am planning for seriously. I faced lots of challenges mostly through various and desperate attempts by my "supervisor" relations to inflate prices as I am far away from home. Also the consultant I have made a mistake/omission in the DPP casting- the first work he did in my absence. He didn't do any plumbing work for the toilets. I noticed the 4" pvc pipes that you stand inside block holes in your initial pictures which I guess are for toilet. I am very glad that I jam this thread.

They said we can still fix it later. Please what are my options and how best to go about it?

A second issue I have is the plan itself. It was made for me by a friend, a Julius Berger architect who didn't do a modern plan for me. Being a novice I didn't realize that the reigning separate roofing of modern buildings is established and determined from the foundation itself. He just drew a rectangle kind of a thing and the builders are saying that my roof has to be one big rectangular shape. Is there any amendment I can do to alter this? Pls I need help as I will commerce decking work. Thanks in anticipation. 2 Likes

Everfrank: Welcome Everfrank. Lovely house there , they can add the plastic pipes to your house even before the decking, only problem will be passing it through the lintels now. wait till after the upper floor to look at other options to your roofing plan. 1 Like |

spyder880:Thanks my Oga. Ill be interested to know the cost of your decking- how many tons of rod and bags of cement used in the casting, wood etc. Also is it wise to use counter lever to increase space on the upper floor? Thanks. |

spyder880:Chairman no be so oh! Honestly, my mom is on my neck to build another house in the village which am so not ready for even though I just completed 100 bags/block! And following and watching the magic you do here daily makes building so easy and cheap even though its not lol! So, am just trying not to get tempted until am ready. 2 Likes |

spyder880:Talking about block, is there a reason why most blocks used in Eastern part of Nigeria is solid without holes? I think it's a waste of money/material bcox you get more blocks if it's blocks with hole. Am also not sure I've seen any of your project in the east both Enugu and owerri with solid blocks. I asked my brother who supervised the job and all I got was "that's how blocks are made here in east" I seriously plan to mold blocks with holes when next I mold more! What do you think? |
Re: The Making Of A Low Budget 5 Bedroom Duplex (with Costs) by spyder880(m): 6:51am On Nov 25, 2015 |
princeonx: I build with hollow blocks all the time in the east, except for situations where I use 5" blocks. |

bebe2: Wow... e get as e be. She overdid the chopping.. My experience in moulding at 3 different projects - It can cost an average of N124 (range from N118 - N125) to get 33 - 35 very good 9" block per bag of cement. Some people have told me it cost them N110 but i have never achieved that personally. Best for me so far is N118. 1 Like |

Hello Spyder.... I need help o... I have a plot at Ogombo Lagos in the relatively dry part and because omonile have been giving me issues lately, I want to secure it more with building the cheapest 2 units of 1bedroom miniflats..... The quote I received was ridiculous... it even cost more than the cost you have what you have spent for your duplex.... Please can anyone who have built one in the past give me a range of what it could cost? I am building the cheapest possible just to secure the land... not trying to spend too much again... 1 Like |
