nwanna, ekenedilichukwu na isi gi,please can you remember how many layers of blocks you made in the foundation before German floor, i think that's part of what saved you so much money.

The wiring quotation is about 200k

Don't think it was less than it be..i couldn't supervise alot due to my engagement, infact I would have saved more money if I did more supervision. Will find out from the builder but as I said.. If you want to save cost, do more of "direct labour"

ibkgab001:

offcourse, it's not less than necessary, it's appropriate, I'm trying to say that many builders build very high foundation walls which results in high amount of laterite sands been needed for filling, you also cut cost by going for a reasonable roofing height which enables you to cut down on quantity of wood. the size of the house is also very reasonable with reasonably sized rooms. i hope you can finish this house with 3m or less. you can cut cost further more by using PVC (plastic) ceiling in the living and dining rooms while fibre cement (previously called asbestos) can be used for the other rooms. tiles only in the living and dining rooms etc. what's the size of your soakaway pit?

hi Chukazu.. well done as it takes wisdom to build a house. please how much have you spent so far from foundation to plastering

Chukazu:


The wiring quotation is about 200k

You can get it done with N180k or less , but you need to supervise . Is it surface wiring or conduit wiring?. I will advise you to go for conduit wiring,this has aesthetic appeal. The electricians give you quotations in excess of materials that you need and later return the excess materials in exchange for cash if they are not well monitored.
God bless you and give you the financial ability to complete it. cheers!!!!

Please check previous replies. Have said it in details
Thanks

Sorry i meant how much in total to date, i know you said you've spent N2.5M to roofing level. What about other costs like fencing, plumbing, burglary proof, wiring, windows, doors, sanitary wares, kitchen furniture e.tc.

By Gods grace i will be commencing building my bungalow next month. So i want an honest opinion from someone who has built a home not some few haters/clowns on here that quote ridiculous amounts. By the way what left for you to do on the house. God bless

If you have nothing good to say, biko dont say anything... What do you have?

Good observation.
The plastic PVC-Is it different from the normal ones,because I was thinking of going for the fibre type?

Then this is the septic tank plan.
Thank you.

Most of those are fittings that come after
I mean I can do without fencing,burglary proof, sanitary and kitchen furniture for now Never marry now

Then wiring and Windows.. I have a quotation of about
180k...wiring

So do the maths
Thank you so much

Infact that of excess materials return for cash, the roofing guy did that to me.. Only God saved me, it could have been worse. If you don't supervise well enough, it's wasteful spending calling

you do not have a kitchen in your design

Chukazu:

The complete pillar between 10-12k
Check on the ground, you see were it just molded, those two black stuff on the ground make one pillar and that is the guy that did it.
