valencia2012:Like I said before, I am building in ABA but stationed in Enugu. I can give you the number of a seller of rods in the building materials market in ogbor hill. He can assist you greatly. If you have a trust worthy friend or family member, negotiate everything with the builder with exception of materials.Let your contact buy the materials. Note that this can work if that person is always around to monitor usage. It's hard out there. Wish you strength |

Topmost11: 1. Columns are a must especially in a sloping land. Also tie them round with a foundation beam. To avoid cracks tomorrow. If you don't want to step it down, then don't do it else you wont lov d house tomorrow. Consider the substructure high wall as a retaining wall 2. Dont place your vt door outside for security reasons! 1 Like |

JWTheocracy1: For certain reasons and style, am settling for the stone coated. I understand it is fire resistant and durable. On the other hand it is heavier. However, am convinced that for taste, stone coated is my choice, the weight isn't a problem because I have 32 columns of 16mm to handle it. Let some experienced builders in the house help us out too. Good luck to you. Meanwhile, 16mm was sold for 3,600 naira, 12mm sold for 2,100 naira in Owerri today according my source. And don't be in a hurry!!! |

cjfbn: A million thanks bro. Unfortunately, am building in my village in Imo state and therefore, transport and logistics might cripple my purchases from Aba. To this effect, I have been buying from Owerri, Mbano Anara and Amaraku. My cousin in Enugu has been handling the woodworks though. I also provide enough data to monitor activities through live video, when am free. |

Good evening people, I feel like sharing this information on this forum. It is cheap and safe to know the status of a land before making any financial commitment because in Lagos state for example, 60% (if not more) of land in Lagos are in government acquisition. Most people just buy land without knowing the status and they even build on the land. When you check the status a land, then you will know if it is a good land to buy. The cost of checking the status of a land is almost free but the consequences of buying government acquisition land can be torturing. This information is not limited to Lagos alone but this is prevalent in Lagos. For more information you can chat with me on WhatsApp. https:///2348069018449 or call 08069018449 2 Likes |

1. The first step to take after the purchase of your land is to call a licensed Surveyor to help you produce the survey plan. A survey is a document which shows the total area of the land you have purchased (in square metre), location of the land, name of the land owner etc. For example, a 450 square metre land is equivalent to 1 plot, a 600 square metre is 1.33 plots etc 2. There is the need to consult an Architect for your Building design/drawing. It is important because a proposed building should have a plan. That is what should precede whatever structure one intends putting on the land. Also, for approval of the building from the town planning unit of the local council area, the architectural design must be provided. You start by entering into a dialogue with him/her and giving your brief. Note: The drawing must be sealed by a registered Architect 3. There may be need to provide a structural drawing especially if the structure to be built is a multi-storey structure/duplex/framed building/sky scrapper etc. That can only be provided by a Structural Engineer 4. To be able to manage effectively the cost implication of the proposed structure, a client should consult a registered Quantity Surveyor (cost estimator) to give a detailed costing of the entire elements of the building from the foundation level to roof level. This will ensure you to have a clear view of how the project is going to span when the budget have been adequately put in place. 5. If it is a big project (not a residential building), the services of service Engineers (Mechanical and Electrical) is needed since the piping and electrical system will be run systematically for those kind of projects. 6. lastly, the Professional that will help to bring the client's dream of owning a befitting home to reality is a[b] Builder[/b]. By virtue of the training he/she may have passed through both academically and professionally, he interpretes all the drawings and documents produced by the above stated professionals to manage the building production process. He monitors and supervises the Artisans and Craft men on site to ensure compliance with those drawings and specifications. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to summarize and effectively point out how each of these professionals fare in the construction industry. I hope you find this thread helpful. Together we can help to reduce quackery in the building industry.

Good morning lads. So I saw a comment somewhere on here (sadly cannot find the comment anymore). ... The poster said he built 3bedroom all masters, 2bedroom all masters and a-1room self-contained all finished for 10m (Including tiling, plumbing, electricals...) Is this possible? (He even fenced the property with gate all for 10m). |
