FastShipping: My Oga how I wish most clients can be as realistic as you are. ANytime i tell someone finishing your house will cost 40m - 45m They respond as if I do not know what i am saying. I dont know if they want me to tell them 25m and yet comfortably pay not wandering how it will get done. They come up with the story of building been sold at 45m Plus land in places. |

Very true observation. Hot pots, soaked with water, butchering blocks, knife marks, deep scratches. Name it all. This is what can happen with a tenanted property when the tenants dont send you. Anyone actually thought of tiles ? marylandcakes: |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by mavverick: 9:52am On Oct 24, 2016 |
Must admit, I was always told that finishing will cost almost as much as the carcass. This is the time when you wished your build was smaller ![]() ![]() skimanski: 1 Like |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by FastShipping: 9:58am On Oct 24, 2016 |
skimanski: Don't mind them. Did you know that I have spent more than $13,000 buying material for the finishing of my house and yet still need to spend more on materials. Convert that into naira and see. Yet I'm still trying to manage another 11 Million naira to complete the finishing. $13,000 + 11 Million naira no be beans. Finishing of that duplex won't be less than 18M on average and more for high end finishing. I don't know what the person was thinking to think 15M is enough to finish that house. |

FastShipping: there was a client at chevy estate he spend 14.5m on carcas duplex, but end up spending 21.5m on finishing....now he is the one handling most of the purchases oooo. he said if they tell him from the onset that he will spend more than 15m on finishing he will be angry.. now he understand better |

Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by olumide4christ: 11:06am On Oct 24, 2016 |
FastShipping: Very true.....some prospective clients think that building construction is cheap simply because they see buildings springing up everywhere. Some people also believe that making use of builders/consultants through Nairaland will automatically make a building far cheaper (speaking from experience). This I believe is as a result of the numerous threads that have featured on Nairaland where people claim that they built a duplex for N8-9m, N15m or a 3-bedroom bungalow for N3m, which in the final analysis is so so misleading considering the fact that no 2 buildings in different locations are the same & so many factors can make construction costs vary so widely. I pray they learn and understand the true facts about construction costs. |

@ skimanski so adding finishing touches to your house can cost a lot more ? Depends on your taste and what you want sha. Where someone will struggle to get a sofa set for 200k, others are getting luxurious ones for 3M. |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by twinskenny(m): 11:37am On Oct 24, 2016 |
UrennaNkoli: well said... some people will purchase TV what 1.6m.. not to talk of Gen set and other stuff |

Chekitaut: How much was the carcass? How much was the finishing? N15m ![]() Wardrobes ![]() Kitchen cabinet? Tiles ![]() Doors? Windows? Burglary? Sanitary wares? Stone works? Painting? Railings? Interlocking/Landscaping? Electrical fittings? Lesson is when designing the house, have the finishing in mind. If you are on budget, ask yourself must I have POP? Must wall tiles reach the roof? Must I have that many sockets in the rooms? Must the windows be that big? The quality and cost of the fittings also matter! Hansgrohe shower mixer will set you back by almost 70k for one for example. 1 Like |

I am considering adding some storeys to my large bungalow in village. Concerns are that : It is about 60 years old There are on the stairs to the entrance on one or more sides of the property, whichmya be caused by large roots of very big trees near the house Property has been derelict and old rusted bam bam has been leaking water for years , would this effect the srength of supporting walls? Advice please |

Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by Nobody: 2:40pm On Oct 24, 2016 |
what advise do you have about how I can go about adding a level or two. The bungalow has 7 rooms no plumbing. abdulwastecx: |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by bixton(m): 2:51pm On Oct 24, 2016 |
Arnoldfish:. (1)Is the #15M just putting into place the carcass structure or it includes complete finishing? (2) Which state are you going to put up that structure? (3) What is the nature of the land? |

Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by abdulwastecx(m): 3:53pm On Oct 24, 2016 |
GenBuhari: Floor addition is a serious structural work, I will advice you do the following. 1. Test the soil the building is sitting on to know the engineering properties of the soil like bearing capacity and settlement rate. 2. Get a service of a builder /structural engineer/architect to check the structural integrity of the existing building. 3. From the information you provided above, you will need the building to be structurally redesign to cater for additional floors. This design will include the additions of new columns, beam and slabs. The design will also include the new floor architectural design. |
