Jubril,
Moderate income earner, for a young guy-N85,000 monthly should be able to save and build this house.
Nigerians are terribly secretive about pictures because they are afraid somebody may shortchange them especially when it is selling of properties.
I’ll post the pictures of progress on this project soon.

The site is somewhere in Ikeja. They are giving me Sharp Sand (5 tonnes) for 18,000; (20 tonnes) for 55,000; Gravel (5 tonnes) for 20,000. Do you think the price is fair?

Sands from Ikorodu and Lekki are always costlier and better than others gotten elsewhere around. Mine was brought from Ogun state, the site itself is not too far from there, you can get sand around ifo-down to Abeokuta area but you can't compare them to the ones from the 2 places mentioned above.<br/>The site has relatively strong soil and is a bungallow, not all buildings requires iron rods, 9"blocks were N150. But if the case is not of the reasons stated above then I'll mail you with the contacts. @owoeye,

Acd. portions, Lagosians have already made up their minds on acquiring these lands, after fully developed, they will now apply for village excision(getting the ownership from govt. by appeal). So you may be right to say I was involved in socially acceptable illegality. Anonymous,

I am presently planning to execute a project. I am at the material pricing stage. I notice a very wide gap between the price of your sand and the price I was given. Can you please give me the contact of your sand conractor? You also did not say anything about, cost of blocks and iron rods. Nevertheless, it is a very insightful piece. Keep it up. We love it and it is really helping some of us. Your diary is very informing, thank you so much. I am presently planning to execute a project. I am at the material pricing stage.
