From Enugu with bricks, this is the house of one big man, the bricks are looking neat and fresh where it has a cover, but turning dark and ugly where its exposed to rain.
I remember that I nearly invested in this brick making machine two years ago. We have very good brick making soil in some parts of Enugu.

If l were him or the builder, l will put a Transparent Vanish on the Bricks, which would protect it from the elements so that it will retain its original look.
It is that simple.
I love bricks too, especially non-hollow Bricks

In my case I did detailed research beforehand in California and came prepared.

The beauty of POE is the one cable that carries audio, video and power. Additionally the camera the. Just becomes a network device that can be used to trigger alarms or receive alarm signals to start recording.

I intend to get a 8 port kit for my main house and a POE router.

Each flat in my micro estate is getting a 4 port kit.

With wireless one still needs to run power so I don’t see the gain but I’ve seen some solar powered cameras.

grin
A lot of bias against wireless cameras/technology are borne out of 'lack of knowledge', especially by non-experts who just branch into the field without actually knowing the rudiments of the technology.
Wireless Security is a whole Career, involving University Degrees and Professional Ceritifcations by the likes of Cisco, SharePoint, etc.

These experts from cisco and Microsoft(not SharePoint) will still tell you that wired network is more secure than wireless network. I am not an expert in wireless technology but I hold a master degree in information systems with concentration in Network management and security

Nice Building. Silver or Gold, I have none but you can steal some ideas from this model design

This is a budget build. You can achieve the designs without breaking bank. You just need a smart and creative team.
Thanks

It’s a very good business and I know there’s better soil around you.

Bricks go well on contemporary structures when combined with other elements (like large glazed area) or when painted.

I saw one in an estate in Lagos, painted all white. The wall looked like natural stone finished wall.

Maybe one day, the price of cement will force us to up our game on the use of these alternative materials that we have in large abundance.


How strong is it?

Before you buy any property, get professionals involved.

1. A seasoned Estate Surveyor and Valuer(not road side agent or Baba Iyabo Caretaker)

2. A legal practitioner

3. A registered land surveyor (not someone who can use the theodolite that claims to be a Surveyor, but someone registered with NIS)

It saves time and money

That's Andron Homes, or Revolution Plus or Happy Homes property company advertised land to you, doesn't mean the land would have perfect title without encumbrance. Some may have clean titles, but some may not


What is your take on Revolution Plus, any good?

Hopefully I’ll share some information later today about this technology. I’m very close to a company that produces brick in large mass.

It depends.

In my situation the property tax on my 1,200 square foot $350,000 home in California was around $3,500/y.

In Texas the property tax on my 2,700 square feet $250,000 home was around $18,000/y.

I don't think is as high as NY, sometimes when we discuss issues like these we should limited it to our location. Here If one finished paying he or her mortgage the tax is as high as another mortgage, you don't want to know our income tax combine when one owned or should I say bank owned and make you holder, that is what many people don't understand.

Cement is very important, even prefab homes need cement to form the foundation. Unless if you are building with wood, of which, am not sure cement can be entirely forgone.

However there is flyash, which is a renewable material added to cement, thereby reducing the amount of cement without necessarily reducing its strength.

You’re right.

We were comparing specifically Texas and California.

That tax is high for Texas.. weird. I'm shocked by the Cali taxes though. Property price per quarter footage, not so much grin

Your question needs some more specifics, to get good and reliable response.

For example:
What is the Tonnage of Granite quoted for 95K? Same thing with Sharp Sand?
- Ask a User her called @Chekitaut or read his previous post on this thread, for Cost of Granite and Sand
- What is the tonnage or Tipper size of Granite he is quoting for #95K?
What is the type of Soil you are building on, (Swampy, Loamy/Soft, Valley, Hard Ground) to justify 35 Trips of Filling?

- Are you using Laterite to Fill or Sharp Sand? (Sharp Sand is better in a Wet area/ground) and what tonnage is he quoting for that Price?
- If you are buying as much as 150Bags of Cement, why cant you Order it directly from the Manufacturers like Dangote, you will get it at around #2,800 plus or minus. That Price of #3,300 is December Price.

- For Planks, talk to @MountMoriah guy on this thread, he will supply you and you can pay on delivery.
- What is the size of your Foundation (How many Boards, what is the dimension, can you share your Floor Plan or measure it yourself and state it here?), to get a better idea
- Packing of Filling can be negotiated down to #4,000 per Trip since they are packing many Trips
- Which is Hoes again? Are you Cultivating Cassava or Building a Foundation? I cant figure that one out, just cancel it

- What is the “machine” for and what Machine is he referring to?
If it is a Ramming machine, then you need to cut down on the Price of Rammer, moreover, it does not cost #50K to rent one Rammer in a day.
Budget 25K for manual Ramming and same for using a Ramming machine but allow time for the Soil to settle properly before doing the German Floor, Wet it very well.
- Labour Cost of Casting will depend largely on the Size of your Foundation though an average Price of 120K -+ max should do (looking at Ten Carriers, One Ewe, One Engine Operator, etc)
- Carpenter should be negotiated down to #30K Max, it cant be more than 2days work naah?

My advice, talk to QSFemi, he is a reliable and he will save you a lot of Money, when it comes to budgeting for your Build

Overall, you need to state your specific location because Labour and Material prices are also affected by Location.


Dont be discouraged.
