Thanks. 2500 blocks is that not too much for foundation or it’s normal. I be novice , this is my first project and I want to kick start it this month
Depends on the topography of the land and the height of the foundation

Good points about borehole. But won't a tank be needed to store the water after every pumping, otherwise he may need a source of light to pump everything he needs water.
a generator and 750 gallons tank will fix the problem

Anyone please

Everything you need to know is in your building plan.
Nevertheless it's just two.
But if you are a lover of high head room then you can do three before you run the decking slab.

Your head room will determine that. Normally two courses us the minimum. But if you're looking for high head room like 3m you can go for more than two courses

Go to the market, choose any size and quality of tiles you like and can afford, buy the needed quantity.
Then call the tiler ( the one that you have seen and liked their previous work) and negotiate amount for labor only.
I am sure buying cement and soft sand in Owerri won’t be much of a problem.
You can start with one trip of sand and 20bags of cement.

Let me help you with some figures

1 trip of sand = 60k
20 bags of cement @10k = 200k
Labor 1500 per sqm x 79 = 118500
Subtotal = #378500.

Now you see that the #632000 they quoted for you can only give you #253500 for tiles.

The question now is, what type of tiles can this amount get to 79 sqm?

What you are looking at is 253500 divided by 79 = #3208 ( per sqm of tiles)
To be honest with you, no 60x60 tile sales for this amount even 30 x 60 Nigeria tiles is around 5-6k .
In all of these, transportation of materials could gulp another 40-50 k.

I love your breakdown for him.

I recently bought super polished Nigerian tiles (54 cartons) for #10,800 in Iwo Road, Ibadan.

I think what he needs to get right is the correct measurement (to avoid over buying the tiles), sand, cement, and transportation. Transportation and offloading can take more than you expected.

As for the tiles, go window shopping to know what's up😁. Ensure you buy a day or two of pricing oo cuz price no dey stay one place these days 😄

You are correct. I just paid for Goodwill super polished floor tiles 60 x 60 from Onitsha for #11500 per carton (1.44sqm)
