Good morning house.
What is next after roofing?
I got different opinions from different people. I will like to hear the opinions of the professionals in here.

michlins:
according to your budget, you will be needing something basic like this. Should cost 8,000 for 4ft by 4ft. There are cheaper and more expensive ones too. The attached door is something I made for a Nairalander some years back

Let me have ur

Landlord: How will you use light
Leezah: Baba! E ma worry, mi Oni owo NEPA bill more and I don't want it to be am the reason for NEPA disconnecting our light
Landlord: O Fe ino (you don't want light) how will you cope

You'll need to spend about 400k to fix all doors, windows and bulgary (on low budget)... security is keyy.

You have 600k to plaster the living, dining, kitchen and 1 bedroom

there would be a little left to tile the living room at least.

Goodluck

Money don finish be dat.
Well my priority doors are main entrance door (iron), exit door (iron) and the masters bedroom door(wood).other doors can wait.
So any review?

michlins:
I haven't been to uyo so I can't tell you. But there's a transport company that plies the route daily. They charge like 2k per seat. I know this because I have waybill a phone to someone there

From Anambra to uyo is now 4k. But if you are warebilling it is cheaper. But, warebilling iron doors will cost even more.

n3xt:



Yes you can.

50 bags of cement = 130
Sand = 50
Ceiling = 100
Plumbing = 150
Electrical = 150
Borehole = X
*Windows =150
Doors x 5 = 140
Water tank/tower = X
Tiles = 150

Thanks sir, I will use this as a template.

saydfact:


YES

How many doors and windows are there in total ? thats the major cost

10 windows
8 doors

saydfact:


1st question is; are there people living around there already - maybe the way you took the pics made it look so

2ndly - 1m wont do much, I wld have advice you pay 1 year rent and do everything to raise about 2m to get it habitable in 365 days.

Goodluck

People are living there already and some structures are being raised there too.
Will the 1m be enough to fix just the masters bdrm, living room, dining and the veranda, excluding the other 2 rooms?

EgunMogaji2:


Please stick to this. Don’t use local steel doors on the inside.

Yes boss

michlins:
we await for your response and patronageok cool bro. Let's help you make them.

What is your location

michlins:
how many entrance doors do you have at the building. I will advise that you use iron doors for all the house. They are cheaper and more durable. Each door below costs #18,000 for the single and #28,000 for the double door

Two entrance doors. But I'm not cool with having iron doors inside. Iron doors at the entrance is just fine.

saydfact:


share a picture of the house in question...
Goodluck

n3xt:


Wow!

Where’s the project?
Uyo

How much time do you have?
Do you already have water on site?
What’s the current state of the building?

If possible, pls share your building plan.

The project is in uyo.
I do have time once in a while.
There's no water on site but I do get water from the next compound.
The building was just roofed.

EgunMogaji2:


Yes you can. I hope you did German floor.

You’ll be moving into a one bedroom flat not a 3 bedroom house. Living room, kitchen, master bedroom suite.

No sir, I didn't do German floor.

Good morning everyone.
I've been following this thread for a while now and it has been helpful.
I need advice on what to do in this situation.
My landlord has increased my house rent and I have a 3bdrm bungalow at hand which I have roofed.
Now I have 1 million naira at hand. I want to ask the experienced ones here, is there a way to manage this money do I can move into the house. Thanks
