I will start by giving glory to Almighty God for His faithfulness over my life and also providing for me to start this project.

I got this piece of land in Ekiti state, omisanjana, Ado Ekiti precisely at the rate of 300k. My plan is to abandon it for awhile before starting it, but I was moved by the encouragement I got from here, that we can actually build with little money, not until it reaches million.

I will try and be updating as the project goes on, and I will love the experience builders here to come in with critiques and advice.

Also I will updating the prices of materials used as it goes..

Thank you all..

10loads of sand =15500 ×10

We engage in moulding of blocks to reduce cost. And the man collected #15 per one and I want 2000 block for start.

#15× 2000= 30,000

5bags of cement will mould 200 blocks, so
50bags will amount to 2000

50bags of cement at 2200

The plan of the building. please kindly check if there is any correction or adjustments

Good job. Just got a plot in Ibadan and I am hoping to start doing something as soon as possible. I am encouraged by your efforts and hope to learn from you.

Congrats at @Ayobami52. I will need to monitor this your project as I also have a 3 plots of 60x120ft land fenced near Ben Folarin School a little bit after Omisanjana towards Oke-Aso (used to be Igbo-Aso) village. I will I came across good land around there.. My development on that land will start next year In-sha-Allah. God will surely help you to complete it.

Digging of foundation will commence tomorrow or Monday.. still bargaining between 70k- 80k

@Mufutau55, thanks bro for branching and pledging to monitor the project.

The building unbelievably is around the Ben folarin you said you have yours, there is a road that pass behind that school. This plot is not far, even its adjacent the road behind the school.

Hoping to work with you soonest..

Thank you once again

Mufutau55, is your plot the one that was fenced behind that bridge?

ayobami52:
Mufutau55, is your plot the one that was fenced behind that bridge?

Probably so... Yes, after the bridge. Below is part of the fence... for two plots... another plot was acquired by the side.
I am surprised to be seeing many houses been built around there now... more reason for the fence.

you are very wrong using 15# per one block, with this calculation, you will end up paying more cos u can't control the cement that will be used.
In case of next time,
Renegotiate and tell them you are paying per bag of cement and your bidding shouldn't be more than 700#/ bag of cement and they "must" mould u 40 blocks per one bag or 35 blocks per one bag if u want stronger blocks. Dont let them mould above 40 blocks per bag.

Success in your project

But Bro, he said that the man collected N15 per block and he moulded 40 blocks per bag of cement. That means he actually paid N600 per bag of cement.

Thanks bro, but if you actually check my calculation, you will noticed that its better.
Because at #15 per block and getting 40 from a bag, it amount to #600, which is a good deal..Making 2000blocks amount to #30,000 from 50bags of cement..

The builder who want to do the setting of blocks to roofing level is billing 150k...But it's too much to me..
And how much should the DPC go for....
my brothers what do you think??

Keep and eye in waht you are doing and always ask on here too, there are pros here who will feed you the undiluted truth

yes per bag is the best I agree, but if you can keep to that 40/Bag then its all good

Are you going to have a 'german floor'?
Will the building have pillars?
Is the N150,000 only for block setting?

per block payment isnt a good negotiation has he stated earlier. I said the highest he can pay for moulding is 700#. I paid 650# for mine so anybody can even pay lesser than that.

yes! 40/per bag is very cool.

why not negotiate per block? Or rather still, pay per day labour if you can monitor them.

For 9" blocks I paid my moulder 600/bag of 25 blocks.
Am using sand mixed with stone dust for the moulding

Good one. I will be here and will help in any way possible, let the block setting be by counting, the foundation can also be done by counting. Each partition should be bargained for.
