Footstradamus:50*100 is equivalent of 15m*30m, if you subtract 12.9m from 15m, you are left with 2.1m, that is 1.05m setback on the sides, which is too small, you might want to consider reducing the master bedroom width so the setback can increase. secondly there should be a door linking the ante room to the lobby so one doesn't have to enter the lounge and dining before accessing the rest of the building. the kitchen has a lot of doors, I'm imagining how cabinets are going to be arranged. you have to close one of the the exit doors so you can atleast achieve an L shaped cabinet. You are going to make use of glass blocks or anyother transparent/translucent material on the store and laundry wall so light can pass through to the lobby, you don't want to be using torchlight to access your bedroom in daytime unless you have 24/7 power or you install solatube on the roof. picture attached below is what 1m setback looks like 2 Likes |

Abolarin91:Actually I priced iron door in Abuja from a welder that makes doors and his last price was 17k(for single pan) then for double pan it was 30k. I asked the price in July 2020. So the price of 18k is possible 5 Likes |

michilin, I think you should be able to do this and send down to us in the west. If you talk to most delivery trucks, they should be able to help deliver this at good figure. I’ll talk to any of my guys doing that area tho.

vickzie: Thanks bro I conclude a plot bigger than a 50x100 is more practical if it will be built as drawn. Wonderful suggestion on the door linking the ante room to the lobby. The kitchen can do without the door leading to the dinning room balcony. 1 Like |

megan1:I tell people to pay me #18,000 so I can make it for them then they can sell at 35,000 at their location. It's the business part I'm talking about. This doors are extremely expensive in some areas and cheaper elsewhere 1 Like |

HI ALL.. Is anyone starting a foundation soon on a sandfill, waterlogged soil (that requires RAFT foundation). |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by vickzie(m): 3:01pm On Sep 09, 2020 |
Footstradamus:yeah a bigger plot is required but modifications are always allowed when necessary, if the land has already been acquired, all you need to do is to find out the minimum setback in that area, then you scale down. 1 Like |

Abolarin91: I actually paid 235k for a 30ton of granite last year September... location was Asaba.. they said quarry is at Edo state. The have to pay local government emblem for 20k, transportation etc. People that I know that purchased 30 ton around that area paid similar price.. was it cheap? Were they trying to drive Benz that quick ? Idk but that's what I paid. How much is 30 tons in your area (as of last year)? That is if you could remember. I have not purchased granite of recent so I don't know of the current price. As for the doors, yes I purchased them after 9ja full lock down few months ago and the price was about that range.. I can't find the receipt now but I did the math back then. The price was almost the same as wooden doors. 1 Like |

Badgers14: I bought 30tons for 240k in June 2020..... location is Delta.....mine came from Edo.....Auchi region I think......prices depends on Location. |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by Badgers14: 4:34pm On Sep 09, 2020 |
omanzo02: Exactly, but we have seen here that in some areas 30tons are significantly less than these prices we both paid for it. That's just the way the cookie crumbles. Certain things are cheaper on specific part of the country. In 2013-2014, a guy I know built 4 bedroom bungalow in Ekiti state for 5m turn key. Excluding land. Whether people supplied materials to him on credit ,I don't know but that was the total cash he spent. That figure is unthinkable in the East at that time frame. Before the lock down, egbon me and am they follow work was sweating profusely after purchasing a land somewhere in Ibadan ( i am not familiar with area) for 2.5m. For you to start pointing your hand left and right for a location like that in the east, you should have upwards of 8.5m before agent fee etc. 1 Like 1 Share |

michlins:Sounds like a plan . Problem is time frame to get more if a customer wants more urgently. If I can get a good location to display, we can do business together. Maybe a bit higher than the cost you gave though So it won't seem like you are being taken advantage of. By the time you gain trust of people and you are consistent and honest, you will make very good business and connections here and offline. 5 Likes |

Hmmn! I agree then, but I hate it when someone is telling me the gain he is making when dealing with me because I don't need to know it. If you are OK with it fine, but don't start telling me your profit is five naira or two naira. Badgers14: 2 Likes |

I think I can now understand your point after going through people's comment here. Don't worry, I know someone will patronize you here very soon and we will hear from the person testimony. Keep trying bro, people in need of your service will locate you by God grace. michlins: |

gbadexy:well about the honesty part, I will tell you to check out the thread with which I sold phones with. There was no single report that I ripped off anyone either by selling faulty device or running away with their money. For months I have been here displaying my works and asking for a job. I have been dragged and called out severally too. I won't be consistent if my end game is just to rip people off and run. Look around for a good location and contact me. Like I said, I can make fifty doors in two weeks. I won't do it alone though. I will have to hire extra manpower which won't be a problem at all. Kindly let me know when you are ready.

Badgers14: In the same period I bought I saw prices between 180-200k on Jiji, but preferred the supplier I used because he was closer and easier to physically reached and confronted in any case of eventuality. But sand is cheaper in Delta because there are a lot of rivers and sea to source from and are closer. I did my decking during the lockdown, when I felt the price could go up I stocked up materials.......and up the prices went. |

temi4fash: Stone Dust posses some properties of granite and functions similarly. Stone dust is much more stronger than sharp sand because of the properties it's posses. In fact, when rain and sun comes in contact with stone dust mixture, it becomes even stronger as the day goes by. It is equally more expensive to use than sharp sand. You must note that too... |

Chekitaut: you know deeply you not saying the truth. What you know in sand supply business, you only use it to deceive customers. I expect you to honorably keep quite and hide a little bit, because you have been bursted. Is only a shameless person that will continue ranting, when shown evidence of truth. 7 Likes |

oil dey your head....i was about to say same..... they are confusing people with truck volumes and quantity . A 30 ton truck is capable of carrying 30 tons not necessary same or equal volumes of sand and granite .payload quantity should be irrelevant since a customers is simply after volume or quantity .. coldcandy: |

jesusson2020:bros you have succeeded in insulting the guy but no solutions. Kindly assist those people who asked you for supply. In as much as you don't agree with him and you took time to explain to the house what you think is the right thing, allow people to decide if to hire him or not. Attacking and insulting him all the time turns to cyberbully. 3 Likes |
