A good thing for those building from outside, a nightmare to those building from inside except if your income stream is from outside.

Not entirely correct , it’s possible your local income stream is ahead of inflation and devaluation

People on fixed salary will struggle

For people abroad they are also coping with unprecedented inflation , and local cost of building materials goes up in correlation with dollar/Fc increase also

But always better to have some assets , investment or savings in FC

2 more days of grace..he is yet to show up..

Why don't you do as some suggested here? Maybe he will hasten up

Please I intend to use Original Stucco for parlour, dining, stairs, lounge and public areas and my painter said he will be importing them from his country (cote d'ivoire) at 80k per bucket (Original Italian Stucco). Seems very expensive to me, what do you guys think? He said it's the best type of stucco as most of the ones sold here are substandard.

Definitely, there would always be exceptions here and there and this was captured in my comment. If you are based in Nigeria but have funds/investments in some instruments that are outside the influence of the current naira debacle, then you're safe.

Not just salary earners, some businesses within Nigeria don't have the luxury of FC.

Not quite. If you were able to save $1k a month before, the current inflation would take at least half of it.

I don't get you. How can inflation happening in Nigeria take half of the value of your $1k saved outside Nigeria or how do you mean?

I think it's better for pricing and quotation be based on dollars so that we won't have to be updating quotation with the ever changing prices.

MOORE -DESIGNBUILD
...our primary intention is to Keep on doing structures right


We do appreciate your interest in our work

Reeefe:


Here It is... it's a 2bedroom flat and a bedsitter.
the aim of the owner is
.. to sell each unit as affordable luxury.
.. efficient management of the land.
.. the design should be fine too so buyer can be interested.


I don't know if I have help them achieve their objectives with this design of mine.

Using the first picture, the structure in the parlour without door or window is likely the kitchen right? The dinning must be to the kitchen which l don't see when you will fit that.


Anyways, below is my little idea. Edit to your taste. The bedsitter is not bad.

bmarketing:
Hello house, I have a quarter plot I will like to develop.
Low budget one/two bedroom bungalow
Raft foundation
Flat roofing with longspan aluminum
Room and parlour (10 by 12 feet)
Kitchen and bathroom smaller maybe 5by5 feet
PVC ceiling no POP
Standard Tiles
Sliding windows
2 toilets (visitor and room)
Standard finishing hence the low budget

Given the current costs, like how much should I budget? Will a budget of 5m work out for one bedroom? Thanks

if u need a free 3d view of ur plan u can let me know

Rany4all:
The biodigester soakaway is a much smaller entity than the regular soakaway, so the artisans claim it is cheaper and requires less space. They put certain products containing microorganisms and enzymes inside the biodigester soakaway, which are meant to breakdown faeces into gas that is then released into the atmosphere through vents.

Now the catch, which the artisans will not readily tell you upfront until after you're fully committed, is that the biodigester soakaway is only meant for your toilets. It is too small to take on waste water from baths, kitchen, washing machine or wash hand basins, and also the soap used in these places will deactivate the microorganisms and/or enzymes, so you still have to do a separate soakaway for your waste water, which may actually nullify the claim that it is "cheaper" or requires "less space".

And again, just as soap can deactivate the microorganisms, your regular toilet cleaning agents can also do the same, so you have to buy special cleaning agents meant for use with biodigester soakaways and these cleaning agents are not just readily available on your supermarket shelves.

hmm this sounds like alot tho. but isn't the ring n the bio digester together cheaper than the full soakaway.

and does the added component for breakdown expires or finishes? if yes, can it be replaced.

We no go see am sir. I think a more realistic approach is stocking up on stocks that aren't perishable ahead.

The visitors toilet in inside. How do you take waste from kitchen out, through dinning? I think the kitchen should have the exit door to the backyard and if possible a door to the lobby.

hardwood (2x2, 2x3, 2x4, 2x6, 3x4, 1x12) buy iron rod (8mm, 10mm, 12mm, 16mm, 20mm local and TMT) payment on delivery,thanks for your patronage, God bless you all 09132123240.

what I have there is a kitchen and a dining together somehow. and the dining having a door to the backyard. this gives us a bigger kitchen as there won't be need to remove a 3ft door space. so u get a bigger kitchen usable space. as for the v.toilet a chamber can channel the waste to the backyard

There is inflation here too, just that people are paid weekly/biweekly so they don’t really have to wait long before their is replenished.
Energy prices especially have really gone up. Petrol use to be $1. 90 but now it’s above $3 per gallon.
Electricity bill has almost doubled., if you live in a single family house here and pay less than $350 a month, that is cheap. Raise in home value has impacted tax amount. Even groceries have gone up, in most instances 20- 30%.
All these take big chunks off savings.

Still can't take 50% of the value of $1k in Nigeria.

What is US inflation figure compared to that of Nigeria?

The last time I checked, it was 8.2% while that of Nigeria is about 20%+

I am not comparing Nigeria and US inflation rate. Rather I am trying to show the current reality why someone who could afford to save $1k monthly in US as at 2021 might not be able to do so today. Cost of everything now is really high.
Human instinct is first about survival. The priority is to take care of one’s immediate need. Those struggling to meet their basic needs because of the current inflation here cannot have enough savings to spare.

Well I'm actually talking about the value of whatever you manage to send to Nigeria. It will get more done for you here compared to this time last year.

It's actually not easy in most countries of the world.

In practical , someone who was able to send $1k monthly before might only be able to send $400 now, if their income didn’t change.
Even with high exchange rate now, the high cost of building materials would negatively affect what ever gain made.

While this is true, some also increased what they send home...

This debate is unnecessary, who even sending $1k monthly before he be lucky if he can still send $400. How about nothing? if he or she struggling to pay his bills. Is hard for people to understand this not until you move here permanently, then they know the difference between kaki and leather. That $100 someone send, do they know how many hours that person worked to get that money. No one I repeat give anyone money here you must go and put in those hours to make money for yourself.

@michlins: Good morning. Abeg what's the average cost of constructing a 30ft water tank stand in the East now?

good morning sir. It will cost you 1ml-1.2 depending on the materials.
This is my own cost of doing it. Some may charge higher and others lower
