The location is in Lagos. I have a truckload of granite and sand. I also have lots of iron rods about 30 plus.
Can 2m finish this foundation of a half plot of land?
What's your take?
Thanks

Possibly.......If you:

No idea, l completed all my building projects in Nigeria years ago when cement and other building materials were very cheap, but with the current hyperinflation in Nigeria, l have my reservations but l will suggest you post your questions at property section of Nairaland and competent Engineers will help you

cc@ Spyder880, one of the most trusted Engineers on nairaland

depends if it’s flat,sloppy,wet or dry land,all these info are missing
If it’s flat and dry,it’s not 2 floors then you don’t have problem, 2 million will do it

Yes 💯

₦2million with this Inflation I doubt. But let Engineer in the house come and tell us

O

Building engineers we are earnestly waiting for your answers

Yes, with small building collapse

cjudy:

Simple comprehension, you cannot comprehend

It depends on the land size and the Building plan. Things are cost now

Not in Tinubu era...but let engineer decide
...it's just a foundation with all you listed above without ripping.it should

Don't manage material in the course of building to avoid collapse

Yes, provided it's not a swampy area.

Yes, it will finish it...to foundation ooo, not all the building.

30 pieces of rod is not ‘lots of iron rod’ lol.

Consider these 3 things:
1. Sqm of the foundation
2. Soil type
3. Foundation height above ground

Given the materials you have on ground, you can control (1) & (3) and use 2M to complete the foundation.

No go make money, na find who go give you answer concerning 2m

Depends on how serious you are, because you ought to ask engineers or quantity surveyor and not bunch of nairalanders that has never bought a single block in their life.

Hmmm. Cost of building materials have skyrocketed seriously.

For lack of details, I hereby declare your question inconclusive.

Yes na. Plenty change go remain. That's if the area is not swamp ooo

Sure, why not. You won’t even spend up to 1.5m self..

What matter most is getting a trustworthy engineer..

I recently completed a 2 bedroom that I’m willing to give out for rent. I didn’t even spend to 2m for the foundation..

But my own location nah Ogun state sha..

Yes, dont let any one scam you

It will not.

We did a 2-bedroom in 2022 and the foundation cost N3.4m.
But this relative as your structural engineer will need to do some evaluations for you (type of soil, its topography, number of people that will traverse the building per time, etc).

Sure. It can.

Nope

Yes it can

Just make sure you supervise purchases and labour payments

If it involves Rafting, then it might not be enough.

If it only involves German floor, maybe since you have gravels already and bags of cement

Buy atleast 1000 blocks and check the remaining money

I have 20sure odds for you so yo can make it a duplex
