Can a 4 bedroom duplex, attached BQ with two or more parking spaces sit comfortably on a 300sqm piece of land? Also, what would be rough estimate in terms of cost (estimated cost can be that of carcass or finished) when building such in an area like Sangotedo, Lekki? Thanks in advance. |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by raymondFirstborn(m): 7:34pm On Oct 19, 2020 |
Jumyg: Remedy would depend on the type of building, nature of the soil and level of dampness (mild or severe). |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by raymondFirstborn(m): 7:36pm On Oct 19, 2020 |
Wingnut007: Yes it would . Sangotedo area would need either raft or pile. Raft foundation to roofing - (15m). |

raymondFirstborn: Thanks for the response. Just to be clear Is the estimate above for carcass or finished? I am assuming the living room, kitchen, masters and other rooms will be spacious. Can you also help break the estimate down in this form (Foundation, Decking, Roofing, Ground Floor Walls, First Floor Walls, etc). I have also noticed a recent roofing trend. Been seeing a lot of flat roofs springing up as opposed to the regular cone like roofs. Is there a particular reason for that? Or is it that the flat roof design is cheaper? 2 Likes |

coldcandy: My aluminum guy sent me samples of this. You might consider. Whether burglary and mosquito nets will be added will determine cost. You can ring him (Zero h8 zero h8 three six three six h8 seven five)

mufutau55: One of my uncles in Ibadan took his builder to the USA. He spent three months in California visiting building sites of associates. They then loaded I think three containers from Lowe’s and Home Depot. The house is pretty much American. Stucco walls, central AC, 110V throughout, etc Money is good. I’ve heard of a house too in Ijebu area that they bought and dismantled a small castle in Ireland and shipped it here and put it back together. Maybe Brabus has heard the story or know of the house. We move, no time. #EndSARS 2 Likes |

EgunMogaji2: I’ll need more clue to figure it out. But I do know there are lots of builds done that way. I’ve seen an underground house in Ibadan. This is over 2 decades ago. On the surface, all you see is a plain field. Beneath is a massive house. 1 Like |

EgunMogaji2:Well, a lot of things have to be standardised. 6" and 9" blocks sizes are just precise, there sizes are moderate and befitting for construction, though we have 4" too which is made without any hole inside of it. |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by raymondFirstborn(m): 6:43am On Oct 20, 2020 |
Wingnut007: The cost is for carcass Alone. Foundation (raft)- 5,000,000 Blockwork ground floor- 2,000,000 Decking - 3,500,000 Blockwork upperfloor - 2500,000 Roofing with flat roof- 2,000,000 Yes flat roof is cheaper. |

EgunMogaji2:And Pyramid roofs? 5" block is now a taboo, flat roof is now a curse. Low roof is now an indication of wretchedness and so on. But funny enough, majority of those who make it their profession to condemm these things are tenants in mud houses yet they discourage low income earners from building a low cost apartments for themselves and families. Very soon they will tell us that bungalows are no longer in vogue 4 Likes |
