I’ve proven to myself, that I can build a 4 bedroom bungalow in 30 days flat.

Here are the disclaimers :

1) Reasonable soil

2) Totals funds in escrow

3) Weather

Ceramic tiles vs porcelain tiles
Porcelain is hardened at higher temperature and is made of a finer clay mixture,making it denser,More durable and water resistant than ceramic

Chekitaut:
4bed room Bungalow, can be done in 3weeks, am talking of duplex & Terrace structure.

Im taking a case from Ikoyi, Victoria Island, Lekki, Ajah. Lots of properties without no occupants in it.

Only build & sell makes crazy profit(not 30% in a month as the op said) but it takes long to get buyer, many developer is killing the industries. You see substandard structure built here & there,

Multi million structure of lekki garden structure put down because it lacks integrity test. Likewise so many others,

I think a simple duplex/terrace structure can be done within 30 days but I'll just keep it at 45 days. Rates for labour may not necessarily be the standard used.

I visited one during the lockdown and we were asked to do cosmetic repairs on the ground floor flat of a storey building.

I always smile when I read people talking about buying a house is better than building. Well, the gains of building your own house far outweigh the losses.

Not all that glitters are gold.

I think bold 2 is the only parameter that can make it a reality .1&2 are not actual disclaimers.

Hmm with finishings ?

I really can’t talk baba.

There’s a house I always deliver at 12m (carcass only), a developer approached me and offered 7.5m for the same house. He asked me to deliver 15 units at 7.5m. He wanted to build 40 units.

I refused.

Within 5 weeks, the project has been delivered and sold offplan. I no fit share pictures

Where are the areas of compromise?

Ohhhhh..... my mic battery is low

Mic off!!

Wow

Yes, 45 days it can be done.

To keep your mind at rest.
Finishing and inclusive of landscaping let's keep it at 60 days.

I think 45 days is more like it. I tried 30 but the speed was tooo much.
We’ve finished plastering before roofing the house
Even the POP guys have started screeding before we roof. I had to use aluminum parapet.

It was a crazy approach.

The client was under pressure to vacate his former house and we had to deliver the new build within 30 days.

I actually did 2 building within 30 days but focused on 1 when we got to first floor slab level.

It’s more like a prefab construction as almost every component needed were already on ground.

Most developers don’t spend more than 6 weeks on their builds but it’s not the BEST.

Built environment does not have boundaries or restrictions as long as the engineer-contractor is versatile in thoughts and approach to job.

A terrace building with 4 to 5units of 4bedroom with BQ undergoing combine sale now in Lekki axis.

Occupants after 2yrs of purchase are selling, imagine the huge lost.

The property is put ₦110m when it was sold to them @ ₦40m each. Buyer must demolish before building.

What limitations do the industry have against the bolded......

Yeah, because you know more about the quality of materials used and standard of work.

bixton:

Curing process. Oga no toy with am ooo. When you are not doing a precast structure.

Yea better, you are now talking

Hmmm! This is valid but...

bixton:

In as much as the industry do not care so much about enforcing best practices and investors/homeowners do not have x-ray vision to know the difference between a versatile and a cowboy engineer-contractor. I think it’s safe to say construction work shouldn’t be rushed

Why?

The following are loads acting on the beams/slabs:

1. Self weight
2. Construction load
3. Weight of upper floor (from props)

For most developers, they play with spans of the slab to achieve fast projects (that’s why you see them build compact houses). When the span get larger, the self weight portion will start governing and this will require higher number of days of propping for the concrete to achieve maximum strength.

Propping might fix slabs and other horizontal structural members but what happens to the most victimized vertical member (the column) if it did not attain maximum strength before imposing loads.
Improper curing is one of the major reasons for concrete failures in columns, beams, slabs and a major cause of visible cracks in most house.

So instead of making people to assume it’s safe to build a house within 30 days, I think professional builders should caution homeowners and investors who want to tow that path to allow more time for their project.

______
LASBCA/LSMTL cares so much about cube tests which is fine but doesn’t guarantee safe construction if the builder failed to consider the significance of concrete curing for the durability of the structure.

______
Unfortunately all the association and bodies that are supposed to enforce best practices only care about generating revenue from stamping and affixing seals on drawings. They don’t care about what happen on project site. ARCON, COREN, NIOB, NIA, etc.

Hello guys.

Just completed window installation and going to plastering.

Like what cost would be reasonable for plastering this as regard Labour?

Someone said 300 bags of cement, but I've 100 bags in the store already, 2 now of 30 tons plastering sand already purchased. Just Labour cost and Labourers yet to be settled

Length of building is 30m
Breadth is 7m

Height is 7m

Make una come buy my Nigeria made steel doors. It's beautiful, strong and yet e no dey tear pocket. Na shikini money

There are addictives that will aid the curing process and you'll still achieve a better result.

Good evening house. I asked about how possible will 1million fly for raft foundation for a 2bedroom apartment with a penthouse. but got a very few response. I've increased my budget to 1.5m. Please can it still fly?

Pls we have not advance to that... Pls observe due process... I dey talk from experience, if them push u, no push urself. Na advice.

I’m sorry for asking too many questions. Do you have picture of the land?

No i dont.
