Off-Topic Thread - To Discuss Anything and Everything that doesn't fit into an individual thread.
Let's discuss everything pertaining to Building Constructions, Real estate and some more.

Note: Please no products or services ments... there are plenty of other threads for that already. No buying and selling on this thread.

Hajji M.

Ok hajji.
It's going to be an interesting thread.

Yes, a good thread, somewhere we can have the freedom to discuss where the next Nairaland property section party is holding I vote for Ibadan first. (with EgunMogaji and Hajji hosting), there will be plenty of non alcoholic Hennessy in circulation

can one build a four bedroom all en suite bungalow with two and half million or less? I'm doing a cost analysis and it's looking possible from my analysis. what's your views on that? i would give my analysis later after hearing some of your views. my labourers would be sourced exclusively from the north where labour is extremely cheap and the house would not include any fancy works. details later but lets hear your views first.

how big is 50/40 piece of land and what kind of structure can be developed on it and at what estimate cost please.. anyone with idea should help me out please.. thanks and God bless in advance

My offer still stand to act as the advance team to sample as many Chapmans as necessary, courtesy of KolaShangOne.

i would advice a small duplex since you can get more rooms from a small plot of land. i think i can design a six bedroom duplex for it but atleast two of the bedrooms won't be en suite. do you have a survey plan of the plot?

We can build for you. And we are not expensive at all.

1) If you have a plan already, you can post it or send it to my mail.
2) what is your taste? Do you want P.O.P or P.V.C.? Do u want 'German floor or not? Do you want to use parapet? Do u want stone coated tiles or Longspan? Fence? Talk to your

With my own plan of a not too elaborate building and finishing, it will cost you about 6 million.

Your four bedroom flat cost depend on the size of the rooms, finishing and structural .

you can have a sizeable three bedroom flat with good space to pack 3 vehicle in front of the building.

something like this can enter the plot comfortably:
three bedroom each : 12ft x 12ft
three toilet each : 4 x 8ft
kitchen : 8ft x 8ft
dining : 8ft x 8ft
living room : 16 x 14ft
store : 4 x 4ft

total floor area = 1024square feet
plot size = 2000square feet

Not properly done? But how?
Raft foundation is most simple form of foundation as far as I am concerned.

following @ Hajji, always making sense.

Me I nor gree PHC has it.

You have to remove the cost of an engineer that would supervise the job by personally supervising it yourself from start to finish, get a very simple architectural plan ...Remove DPC(German floor), do a very simple and low gable roof, locate the building in a very good location to cut the cost of foundation, cheap labour. When you done with your analysis, it let's analyse and disect

Yes O. All My Ogas. This is in relations to Building constructions and other related real estates... that will not fit in other people's individual threads, so we don't derail their threads.

No... We don't have to know what you did with your wife last night o.
We don't want to know who took your name to village Witchcraft woman o...

Only building construction related but not limited to any specific area and then some more.... o.

Well not so fast.

Some of us toy with the idea of having multiple wife's.

I might need the groups advice on deg a house that will fit my future 3 wives. Something that we're all under the same roof but still provides individual privacy besides in most families the wife's are the Chief ants

Yes Oh!. On that note, then the discussions will be tolerated... We can never finished learning about women o.....

True talk

OK, here's a question.

Why don't we build with treated/insulated hardwood in Nigeria? You know, a house where the exterior walls can be blocks/concrete, but the interior/room dividers would be wood? Think of the freedom and cost-reduction in running electrical wires/pipes, plumbing, and even future reconstruction/expansion.

My high school in Abia built in 1929 has residential buildings built entirely of wood, and some still look good!

An astute thought.

So I'm still debating doing my build with 6" blocks on the exterior and using steel studs on that part facing inside and the entire interior partition. We have steel studs here in Nigeria and a Nairalander uses it a lot to do fancy wall work.

The thing is the cost factor. I am working out a spreadsheet to calculate all of this. I just haven't been able to get the cost of steel studs as well as the installation though I can supervise that.
