davodyguy:


I will definitely contact you.

Seems someone wants to scam me.

I have been asking around if there are some special woods, which would justly the ridiculous price quotation I got from my supervisor

I am not trying to criticize site supervisors, engineers or artisans, but sometimes, developers (property owners) need to always check price quotation given.

I just saved N161,000 over billing by Engineer, thanks to verification I did on Nairaland about the actual cost of timber for roofing.

Once you get any quote, please check from 3-4 others and if same in terms of pricing and quality, go for anyone you like

I'll like to hear form you and others that think a VT is an overkill for mini-flat ... where then do you suggest to place the only bathroom in the house?

a) en-suite and inside the bedroom such that a visitor have to come into the bedroom to use or
b) outside such that it is directly accessible from the living room

thanks

Not an overkill per say but saves space makes it functional at the same time. Would share a plan I did that solved that purpose soon.

Reason for that is this.
One bedroom flat is not meant to have so much people in it by virtue of design and space management. So it is assumed that under normal circumstances, the Occupant can as well us one convinence area by way of design and positioning.

I quite understand why you feel there is need for it because of our culture of housing so much people in building basically.

Just the way we Design and make car parking provisions for a specified number of cars for example. I don't know if you still understand what I mean. However if you don't, I will still find time to share one I did.

See the building below. It has owbee occupied 4 Bedroom Duplex, one executive mini flat and a rentable 2 bedroom Duplex. All full options.

The mini flat there has the description I have suggested herein. The yellow wall you see in the middle below is the mini flat.

Not a bad concept. But I personally think you should eliminate the Guest Toilet in a one bedroom apartment, it is overkill.
One toilet should be enough for the Occupant and the Visitor. Thank you.

Good sir,
I did same in my his project (the project is 4unit of 2bedroom and 4units of Mini flat.

But if client says he is she need it, what can say than to abide with his/ she choice.

Here is attached pic ( I cut the mini flat plan out from the full drawing)

Much appreciated sir.

Actually the plan is to have 12nos of this in total in a two (2) storey building.

This is purely commercial. Most builders here add that to increase the rental value as it is rented 450 - 500k here in Surulere.

ArcToyin:

Why adding another floor? I can help you have the four units on said plot without a storey.

I actually did the sketch myself. Hence it is incomplete. I want it to be criticised before approaching/concluding with an architect.

I truly appreciate your valuable contribution

Greetings, can a kind soul please share the cost of the following wires:

1.5mm
2.5mm
1mm
4mm

Additionally, is Coleman wire acceptable?

Thanks.

EgunMogaji2:


You’re right Sir. A one bedroom flat doesn’t need to be en-suite. The location of this visitors toilet is also horrid.

you mean it? SR, I can only question the toilet entrance. I prefer the v/toilet door locate at the corridor

EgunMogaji2:

Good evening to you nairalanders.

Assuming I'm to give this building plan as a contract to a mason, how much should be my budget, EXCLUDING MATERIALS?

The mason will be in charge of everything from the foundation to the parapet. He's the one to bring iron bender, carpenter and he's the one to pay for every labour involved. How much should I budget?

Note; The project is in the Masaka/Uke axis of Abuja.

Since you know that Masaka/Uke axis is in Nasarawa state..
You can budget ±2million

Why can’t you give your project to a professional instead of bricklayer , you mean this bricklayer will also supervise iron bender, plumber, electrician, etc,
My advise to you is to engage a professional to supervise the project for you in your area there.

Walted0n:
Good evening house... Please I need the cost of screeding per metre square (labour) and cost of screeding paint. Thank you

Good evening house

I need your help on this, how many bag of cement can be mould from 30 tons of stone dust, block size will be 6" and 40 piece each from each bag of cement.

Thanks

Whatever you will get here is an estimate.
Since you are considering giving the job to a mason, it means u are the project manager. So do some work for yourself by going through this thread from the beginning and you will be glad you did! I have done same and I am so happy with the effort while being grateful to all the building gurus in the property section who have taken their time and data to teach us.

As a tenant, I will like my kitchen to be where the visitors toilet is and my vt where the toilet is. (placing the two toilets side by side is also good for evacuation piping).
I will also want a wall to screen the kitchen entrance.
Consider placing the main entrance where the window is.

Salliet:
Good morning folks,

I plan to build four nos miniflat on a half plot. Please critic this partial design. I will appreciate candid feedback.

Hint:

Each unit is comprised of: 1 sitting room, 1 bedroom ensuite, 1 guest toilet, 1 kitchen, 1 balcony with a shared stair case.

Thank you

Thank you so much sir/ma
I was budgeting 300k

Or did you include cost of materials?
Like iron rod, cement etc.

I'm only interested in the cost of labour.

Again, thanks

No i didn't consider materials, only Labour. Mason, service, carpenter, iron bender.
Foundation labour
Labour for filling
Labour for block setting
Labour for lintel
Block setting above lintel
