Op how cab one spend the sun of #1,000,000naria on carpenter work and you also stated 105/ton of granite at the cost 6000per ton this is too much for 5bedroom duplex ok

Do you think chekitaut” doest know what he is saying, He is a guru about granite and he has visited and supplied many site, so the experience is there, more so he said in a “LAY MAN POINT OF VIEW”
And he almost get it right, mind you 105 tones is 3.5 lorry of 30 tones “so what are you saying” too much’
Consider this granite is for all concrete work with good ration of 1;2;4 or likely.

Foundation footing,
Columns
Ground beam,raft (option)
Beams
Fence copping
Slab
Compound flooring
Drainage
Concrete facia/ parapet
Lintel
Suck away/septic tank concrete work
Etc

Lastly consider where you will have all these concrete work CARPENTER will need to work there for the form work so something not too far from 1m will go for this.

I cannot but agree with you.


We leave matters for Mathias if you know what I mean.

Good day All
It’s a pity that this section of Nairaland (property section) is not as its before why?
We are missing some guru here range from
Architects
Builders
Engr’s
QSs
Clients
Suppliers
Etc
Which there wealth of experience in build industry make this section one of the best on Nairaland

Actually I know what make some of them keep quiet this day is just because some are label names which is not that so aspected by them and many more like that.

What we do we see this days mostly is non professional advise which in turn do give some home base bad names bcs for example some who has not visited site ones in his life or know anything about building will be give building quote to non home base person and later a professional give advise or quote the next thing we will see is that the quote is TOO HIGH,
so many thing like that pls is too annoying why because some of you guru has ran away from here.

If all ran away who will make the this section great again pls that is why I will mention some names here to pls come back again and let’s rebuild this Nairaland as a whole

Pls I will like you people to ponder deeply and come back here and make this section great again

chukzyfcbb:

you guys always scare potential builders with your quote.

so 20m can't build a house with moderate quality finish, at least something adorable. Cost of land is not inclusive o...and yet 20m can't do anything quality even if it's moderate level?

These houses I see at Ajah that goes for 35m, yet the finish is moderately fine tuned not too high class like having Victorian chairs or some Gold plated shiny interiors.

I think you are exaggerating tho!
One reason I don't like coming to this thread to read stories, it can be discouraging.

If one listen to all this gurus on nairaland ehn, one cant achieve anything in life. Just start building ur house with someone you can trust and go step by step. Dont entrust your money to anyone on nairaland
Building a 3bedroom duplex and 2units of 2bedroom flat on a half plot of land and have not been spent much

Going through this thread, one will just be hearing budget 35m, 20m, 15m. I kept wondering if it was this eas, then men like us wont be able to achieve anything with this huge sum of money.
I decided to start my project(3bedroom duplex and 2units of 2bedroom flat) this year with the little experience I got reading from page 1 to page 1000 and the help of a good bricklayer. And I can categorically say am at the decking stage and have spent less than 7m.

Umarzy:


Well, cost of buildings vary. Location, design and taste are crucial factor that determines it. i don't give cost estimate until i see the design of the structure, taste and the location. Except for instances when the client just require rough estimate.


On your project, you spent less than 7m up to decking stage. Wow, you really applied some super cost management techniques. Would you like to share some pictures here?

I am particularly thinking where you have your sock away and car park.

From the drawing what you spent about 7million on now is only foundation to slab (decking) stage of 1bedroom, kitchen, sittingroom for the duplex and 1single 2bedroom down only, which I will say it’s still within rage of what must guru do says here.
Now to complete the upper floor you need to spend on

Decking,
Columns
Beams
Electrical
Plumbing
Roofing
Concrete facia
Compound flooring
Tiling
Bathroom appliances
Kitchen set up
Room wardrobe
Screeding
Lightings
Doors
Windows
Burglar proof
Water tank stand
Compound leveling/filling
Drainage
Fencing
Suck away/septic tank
Bore hole (option)
Painting
Gate
Etc

Already 7m has going, so how much do you think you will spend on these

paparazzi82:

Am done with decking, fence, borehole, gate
Decking alone cost like 3m

Umarzy:


Roofing doesn't always have to be concrete fascia...Architecture is now diverting from brutalism to pure modernism.... i have a client who likes flat roof (more of monopitch,shed or skillion) designs as opposed to pitched ones.

rotecch77:


Concrete facia there is an option some may like it while some may not like it, so we need to add it to the list, same as windows hood design
