Corrinthians: Your desire for space within your rooms plays a significant role. Bungalow----3 bedroom Duplex--- 4 bedroom Duplex+Penthouse-------5 Bedroom You have your portable green area. You have space for 3-4 cars to park. If your location adheres strictly to standard setbacks for residential buildings then you'll have less space for cars on this plot. 2 Likes 1 Share |

I have had 3 POP professionals go measure my site for POP ceiling installation, All came back with different measurements, One saying he measured 118.5 sqm, another 99.8sqm, the other 127sqm, each higher than the other, The 4th guy is on his way now, It's really frustrating ![]() 1 Like |

Kaybthaniels: But that is how it ought to be they will always give you different prices,just choose the one that best fits your pocket as long as they give you what you want |

Corrinthians:the total area of your land which is 50ft/75ft = 15.1m x 22.7m = 342m2, this is a little bit more than standard half plot of land which is 324m2, in this case I think you should follow @bixton advice for your personal residential building. But if you are building tenement house on your land. You can have 2 unit of 2 bedroom bungalow or 4 units of 2bedrooms (a storey building with packing space) 2 Likes 2 Shares |

Boss it's not about the price for labor & materials that am even complaining about, its the measurements each of them came up with after viewing the floor plan and going to measure in person. Teebawse: 2 Likes |

Kaybthaniels:You can measure it yourself to confirm actual sqm. |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by bixton(m): 5:05pm On Oct 11, 2018 |
Kaybthaniels: It's very easy Take your floor plan and extract the measurements in each space. Ensure its in sqm. Or You get a tiler to give you the measurement on areas for floor tiles. Then you compare which quotes is close in measurement from which you can choose from. 2 Likes |

Kaybthaniels: I faced that too when I was doing mine,but I sent only pop guys there and I went with the one that came with a lesser measurement |

Boss I can't extract the measurements from the floor plan because the measurement for each spaces wasn't written in sqmeters, I could try your other suggestion but that's kinda the same thing as sending a POP guy to go do the measurements, I can't tell who is giving me the accurate or correct measurement, I wanna move forward with my project but i am trying to avoid being fleeced or paying more than am supposed to. bixton: |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by Kaybthaniels(m): 6:29pm On Oct 11, 2018 |

Hello fellow Nairalanders, please am concerned about my building project in port harcourt, the building has swallowed almost 4M and we haven't even started the oversite concrete, the building is 21.71m X 11.58m. so far we are filling the backfilling the rooms and getting ready to start oversite concrete slab. Note: this is a 4 unit of 2 bedroom all ensuite. should the cost be upto what it has taken? i am not in the country, could it be that something is not right? please i need advice. |

Kaybthaniels: Just pick the quote you prefer and ensure the artisan does a good job. If you can read a measuring tape and you intend buying materials by yourself. Depending on your payment strategy, you can re-measure each worked section and do your deductions. |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by bixton(m): 8:29pm On Oct 11, 2018 |
Alkanelly: Were you not given a bill of material/labour schedule per stage/milestone? Is there any variation if the above was given ? Do you need a neutral person to pay a visit to the site if need be? |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by Kaybthaniels(m): 8:37pm On Oct 11, 2018 |
That's the dilemma, I am not around to do all these things you are mentioning but thanks for your suggestions, I will figure it out. bixton: |

A distinguished member of the property section family @teebawse did post a quotation for wall screeding for verification and I indicated interest to supply at a competitive price and @ rotech77 graciously attested to my ability to supply it. To God be the glory, the screeding has been concluded and here is a link to the thread for it for information purpose. https://www.nairaland.com/4783553/wall-screeding-ready-mix-putty#72001687 |

You can look for an Engineer to the measurement for you in order to confirm which of them is right. |
