Someone has done one here before. I'll see if I can find the thread.

No need for a consensus, if it's what you want then do it. Folks tend to stick to their comfort zone.

Good luck on your project.


Thanks Sir, I appreciate. looking forward to seeing that thread

I have a supplier who is almost a middle man, but I dont like recommending anyone because I dont want wahala.
I would say why not visit Orile yourself, be prepared though. There are a lot of barandas.


Good idea!
Setting out tomorrow.

Hello Egun

Where have you been, I guess Calabar @ the bikers festival. grin grin
How is your build progressing ?


I'll never listen to anyone that says there's no money in Nigeria. Those are top shelf bikes, I wish I was in town for that.

Project is progressing way ahead of schedule, BQ is ready for tiling now, main house is ready for roofing. I give kudos to you folks doing multi-flats, it's hard work getting artisans to buy into quality. I blame Spyder880 and Skimanski for making their livelihood look easy, at least in the Nigerian landscape.

Thanks for asking.

The below was condensed some time ago. It was posted by @aasog though he has since deactivated the moniker (not my business!) but you can use it as a guide.
The prices would definitely have changed but the process/procedure is still the same, if you can substitute CURRENT PRICES.
Cheers.

thanks so much, thats exactly what i need, but am a lil confused with the paragraph below, could you or any1 else who understands shed more light?

2. For a simple fence work, 100 blocks = 1 bag of cement x 32.13 plus, extra bags used for foundational work and concrete works that serves as reinforcement = 52 bags of cement x #1800 (depending on cement quality and location) = #93,600

The koko of the matter starts on page 17 but I suggest that you read the whole thread especially if you're just starting out. It's one of the better threads on here in terms of documentation as well as pictorial support.

I tell you, it was hard work but with determination it will work by fire by force. Also I hire and fire, if anyone is not performing they are on the way out.

I find that with some artisans, once you have your materials and its strictly labour, they know the score. The worst one is when they have your balls in terms of one giving them X amount, go and deliver Y. One really needs a strong hand to manage them and one can only pray for good workers O

Please who has a contact specialized in Tiles and is based in Lagos?
I just need some specific colours and sizes for a small project.
I'll prefer one i can visit at the market and pick up my items by myself.
Don't mention nairaland Tile traders, disappointment is their watchword.

Visit odunade market in orile, u ll get all d varieties u need. Be prepared to have a long day till u get what u want.

Electrical design for a five bedroom flat is not compulsory but the advantage that it gives superseed whatever financial strain it may cause you.

I will advice you to heed to his advice and have an electrical design prepare for the house because it will make his job easier and will help avert any problem in future
