Shocking, isn't it?

A house built with N35m in 2021/2022 will cost over N70m now

13 courses from dpc to ro9f level. Although, you can still use 12 courses

Total of about 4,650 blocks. You can watch the full video here: th-cam.com/video/KORIW8mMgAE/w-d-xo.html

Thank you so much

@@civilworks826 let me have a look

@majormzumara-gm1ny You're welcome

Thanks!

It doesn't matter which one, as long as you're consistent with the units, the result will be the same

Thank you

Thanks

Thanks!

There's actually rebar, i.e., reinforcement baskets. The video just didn't show it. You can see the column starter bars though

Hard to put an actual figure since there's no drawing to quantify from. My estimate will be N35m - N40m

Thanks

Yes, it's been a hectic period as I try to combine work with posting content. Anyway, thanks for reaching out. I will be resuming regular posting soon. 👍

@@civilworks826 sending love ❤️ and light 💡

Ok. It will take some doing but I'll try. Glad you found the video interesting

Glad you found the video helpful

Thanks!

Glad you found the video useful. Don't forget to share!

Thanks

Thanks

Thanks. Glad you liked the video

You're welcome

Yes, at the time of construction, especially labour costs

Glad you liked the video.

Glad you liked the video. I've actually thought of doing a video on rigid pavements. Soon

Where is the site located? Have you prepared the drawings/building plans?

I'm glad you liked the video. Omitting the exact specs for rebars:Y16, Y12, etc, was deliberate. Truth is, these material quantities and specifications will vary from project to project, and I didn't want to narrow it down. I just wanted to establish the final cost (including the cost per m2) of the building. However, if you have a building that the architectural and structural drawings have been prepared, i can give you an approximate material breakdown for it. Thanks for watching!

I can arrange a team to build in Ibadan. I worked in Ibadan years back on the BAT factory near the toll gate, and some of my colleagues are still there. I'm based in Abuja, though

It will also depend on the size of the project

Thanks!

Thanks for the compliment. And for the suggestion, I'll look into it.

The price of concrete will depend on the price of the constituent materials (sand, chippings, water, cement) as well as the desired grade (C15, C20, C25 etc), cost of equipments (mixer, poker vibrator) and the cost of labour. You will agree that the rate will not be uniform across the country

However, using the slab in the video, a rate breakdown per cubic meter of concrete can be thus; 1. Cement: 6.3 bags x 8,000 = 50,400 2. Sand : 0.7 tons x 6,500 = 4,550 3. Gravel : 1.3 tons x 8,500 =10,400 4. Water: = 500 5. Equipment (mixer, etc) = 5,000 6. Labour = 10,000 7. Overhead and profit:@20%= 16,170 8. Total cost per m3: = 97,020.

Yes

Actually 1.98 m3

@@civilworks826 thank you for the video it’s immensely helpful

Yes

Yes, I assume so, too. The idea behind the videos is to use actual projects and real values. Presently, I don't have a bungalow construction at hand. There's a duplex ongoing now. Hopefully, when the project has advanced, I'll make a video from it. Thanks for watching!

Yes, the reinforcements are quite a lot, but it's not more than the permissible area. To enable proper flow of concrete around the bars, the maximum aggregate size was 12mm

Nature vs man!

Wow! I really appreciate the breakdown of your projects. I'm sure a lot of viewers in the comment section will benefit from this. But the building is not actually in PH, it's in Abuja. The construction was done between 2021 and 2023

You have a point, but you are totally off point, too! 😃. This building is not in Bonny Island. It's not a raft foundation. It's also not a 6 bedroom duplex. Like I said in the video, the cost of a building depends on many factors, and I can't doubt the 6 bedroom duplex in Bonny at N19.6m. In fact, I designed and supervised the library building in FPOG, Bonny, and the foundation was over N32m. The breakdown in this video was the actual costs during construction. Of course, at today's rates, it will close to double what was spent. Thanks for watching!

Waste of time?? Sorry you think so. A lot of viewers think otherwise, though. The house was not built with stories but with money. You want to see the BOQ? Or what financials exactly?

😂 Tinubu regime don take this one brain 🧠 away. You want to say you're broke and watching. Estimate wey dey give us Joy. Better delete your comment before people start thinking you ran away from psychiatric hospital 🏥😂.

Hmmm...you have a point there. I'll include that in one of my next videos. 👍

Thanks. I'm just trying to put useful information out there. I'll be willing to assist any of my audience in any way I can. I really appreciate the encouragement

Thanks. Glad you liked it

Thanks. Really appreciate the encouragement. We move!
