It's no problem at all sir, that's the purpose of this thread.
The wall may not be screeded if the plaster is smooth but for the best effect, it's best to screed it because the varnish has high sheen and would reflect contours.
Stage 1: screed with base coat. cost estimate per sqm is N640 (at N7000 per drum and N250 per sqm for application).
Stage 2: apply first coat of white marble effect paint as background and apply the chosen colors as the second coat to give the effect. cost estimate per sqm is N700 ( at N7500 per drum and N270 per sqm application)
Stage 3: apply varnish. cost estimate per sqm is N400. (a drum is N15000 and would cover 60 yo 75 sqm for full coat and application may be negotiated with the painter for the rate of normal painter or even lesser).
The multi colored last layer could even be applied like a stucco design by the applier by placing different colors to overlap in wet from on the white background and leveling everything with a trowel. The application is similar to stucco hence the name marble effect but it seems painters refer to it as magic paint.

For my kobo Kobo 3 bedroom standard flat project as Hajj M would say, I have spent 3.48million Naira and this covers

Carcass
Roofing with Ceiling( Nigerite ceilings)
Casement windows
Burglaries and doors
Plastering inside
WC and other toilet accessories
Tiling (floor tiling and wall tiling of bath and kitchen)
Septic tank and soak away.
and others except wiring, fencing borehole and outside plastering.

I do not pay for any professional charges other than the usual artisans work. After all, it's a small boy project

I hope this will help in the current cost argument. Thanks.

Samaras:
Good evening professionals in the house. I need an overhead tank for a duplex in Lagos done as soon as possible. Who has information as to cost estimates and/or professionals who are available to do such?
I am expecting something like done on this thread: https://www.nairaland.com/4967576/making-overhead-tank-stand-back-filled

Hum2020:
Op I am very happy for the picture of your bungalow which you posted here ofwhich you stated that you have not spend up to a million Naria I don't understand the reason why some contractors here in his forum want everyone to believe that you need to spend millions inorder to build a house (carpenter work will cost 1million narialand 105ton of granite at 6000naria per ton ) the ways and manners some go about mentioning million i dont understand if the are wish an average salary to own a place for himself or they just want to make buildings a home only for the rich.20million cannot finished 4bedroom duplex God have mercy

gordonbarrett:
You are very correct. For the fact that some people have the means and spend much on there projects doesn't mean there are no affordable means of construction, especially for we the low income earners. However, many estimates are exaggerated. The attached project just got to lintel and we are approaching 2m, even with the full reinforced concrete ground beam

Dubemcapital1:



No, i don't.

opebiboy:
now u are drunk. What you posted is well over 1.3 million if the house is three bedroom

PropertiesPro:
What location sir?

Dubemcapital1:



Marketing real hard, a lot of masons (glorified engineers) promise a whole lot of things to win a contract though. hope you are not one of them?

BOOOMNAIJA:

BOOOMNAIJA:


On d contrary, I'm not drunk....actual sum spent on that property u are seeing, including land, is just over 850k.

opebiboy:
thats too much. I spent 32,000 naira to get to same stage for my duplex. They are cheating you

BOOOMNAIJA:


My friend, I am very serious here and I'm not forcing u to believe...wat do I stand to gain by lying about all these.... I'm only making this information available here to ridicule the claim made by a lot of people here that u must be a billionaire before u build a decent home.

opebiboy:
you are a clown. You already bought 300bags of cement from the picture you uploaded. Thats 750,000. How much did you pay for labor, trips of red sand for filling, rods, woods, granite. I just started my house less than two months ago, i was a novice till now. Your 419 wont work here, take it elsewhere. Nobody is interested in giving you a job, people are not foolish like you think. 500k to buy roofing wood, aluminium and labor. U are indeed a clown

timesup234:
Sir how many blocks did you mould? I want to believe you have a complete breakdown so let's start from the amount of blocks to get to roofing stage..waiting for your reply.

shelliz:
I don't know how people manage to build for a cheaper price. My project is a block of 2 flats (4 bedrooms ensuite, visitors toilet and 2 bedrooms plus visitors toilet at the back and a gateman house. I have spent over 10 million naira excluding the land and the project isn't finished yet. I am even scared that it might get to 15 million - 17 million at the end of it. When i see people that built or are building for less , i Begin to wonder HOW?
