Same here. Any recommendations are welcome.

sinorte:
Please I need top notch recommendations for artisans that can handle the following jobs:

1. Plastering
2. POP
3. Window design

I understand our brothers from Republic of Benin are skilled at these tasks. So I wouldn't mind someone from that side.

Please let me mention that I prefer to work directly with the artisans. I do not need middlemen or contractors.

Thank you

Abi..give estimate on how you spent 5m for foundation on waterlogged land cos you are discouraging people here. Pls house lets contribute

I used more than 5M for 4 boards on a land very close to waterlogged but again this is a house with 6 flasts up and down. They size of the house matters.

qdlvy:


This is really nice.

This still boils down to Nigerian mentality of nature and greenery. IITA is an international development organization. This kind of scenery is common with offices of international agencies, High Commission and other places where foreigners are working or living. The French center in PH (Alliance Francaise) and the Charge D Affairs residences have beautiful green zones. Same with the newly commissioned British High Commission's residence in Abuja.

Foreigners living here appreciate the greenery scene and plants more. Their houses are usually different. You will see flower pots everywhere and grass plants on the walls, just trying to replicate their home country environment in Nigeria.

My land is waterlogged and i used upto 5m for foundation

Very possible. I have constructed terrace duplexes on a waterlogged area, Ibeju lekki to be precise and it cost about 5million naira too. Foundation cost is dependent on: the type of foundation, the depth of foundation and the size of the building. These will invariably affect the quantity of construction materials. For this particular foundation a raft slab and beam foundation type was done.

Good afternoon in this Forum all my boss

Sorry hajji

Accepted, it happens. Thank you sir.

Does anyone have bad experiences with stone coated roofing sheets ( maybe brands/sources). What is a good brand which is value for money and what are the typical problems you can have?

Oga , Your not an engineer and knows nothing about building. Always responding sarcastically when people says there cost . Always believe the cost spent on building esp foundation as cost is variable and all land conditions are not same .Respectable member here gave me a quote of 12.7m to erect from foundation to decking without his professional fee .When I received it , i doubted it and decided to buy all materials by myself and labour as i was feeling his quotation was much but i must confess i hv spent very very closely to that amount to achieve foundation to decking . So mind ur language at times as meself no get joy now .

I respected you madam and I’m so excited for you to say this out.
“when you got quote from respected member here and you thought the quote is on high side and you spent very very close to the said amount truly”
Good of you ma

Yes i wont deny that from u . Your quote came highest in all but ironically it became the quote that matched my outcome . It was said the land is dry and someone said 7m from foundation to decking, i was happy to start but until i got in then it was seen that the land is waterlogged and that was the game changer , escalated from budget of 7m to 12.2m to decking.
Sorry dear , we hv more to do in future. I highly appreciate

To be fair the guy assumed you meant you did a 5 meter HIGH foundation and was only trying to clarify if you meant to say 5ft (instead of the 5m you wrote). Hence he stated that 5m is about 15ft oh...

Make we dey calm down sometimes.

N5m not 5m.

Problem is that, some Contractor will give you a lower estimates to attract your business but when construction starts there will be many stories but it will be too late to stop your project. Due deligence is the advise.
Thank you.

Hey Bro.
I for one is glad to see you return to continue to share your experiments and acquired skills with the "House". i love Contemporary Designs and Smart homes. I believe its actually cheaper to build in Nigeria than oversea because the labor abroad is nothing but Highway Rubbery!

Anyways, Keep posting and i bet you that there are more silent admirer of yours than those that are skeptical of your inquisitive nature.
see some of my work here... https://www.nairaland.com/2668086/keeping-it-simple-n-clean/1

I will need your advise on some Tech stuff, I am from Ilisan and i should find you in Sagamu once all these CORO Sh*t subsides. Shoot me your contact; trying to email people here for me is not working out for some reason.

Please let us always encourage them to buy. You can always ask them to link you up with the manufacturers for installation support. That’s if you ever need one.

Well done sir.

I heard Ilishan is the place now. The last time I was there was in 2007/8.

Well my number remains 08023429122. It never change and I remain Brabus.

No dear , he has spoken in this manner in his previous talks . He never believed that foundation can cost that much hence his comment . He saw clearly what i wrote and hv followed me on this journey online here , its not the first time .

When I designed the first model of this building in 2012, parapet and curtain wall wasn’t in vogue then so we went with cladded fascia.

This is my no. 8 model of this particular build. However this is coming with new additions.

Configuration:

- 5 Bedroom Duplex (all room en-suite)
- Game Room in the Attic (Yes you heard me attic )
- 2 large living room
- Ante room
- Sky Roof (yet to be installed)
- Gym
- No wraparound terrace but there are balconies on 3 sides.
- 2 entrances
- Smarthome Technologies
- 14ft headroom ground floor
- 13ft headroom upper floor

And then there’s:
- 2 Bed Apartment (all room en-suite)

That is why it's better to get a consultant to manage all the technical side of work.
One can still handle the negotiations but things like the archi, structural, M&E and a detail quantity have to be done by expert to give a clear cost and project time frame.

The way to go is to get a consultant that will do all the technical side of work.
