Building in Gambia Update #2

[@lotusflower2517]

WE NEED ALL OF THE *BLACK DIASPORA* TO GO HOME AND BUILD UP AFRICA -- GREAT VIDEO!!! #AfricaForAfricans

[@beverlygeorge1104]

I really plan on it but will rent first so I can get a good feel for the area. I checked in with Blue Ocean Properties this morning and was appalled by the $5000 US rent on a home. Who pays that there. I live a very very comfortable life in the US and I wouldn’t blink at that amount. For those of you who can direct the repats in an honest direction it would be a blessing.

[@ReleaseUrInnerFreak]

Beverly George did they say annually? In many African countries they do mostly do yearly.

[@alcopoco8025]

I'm currently working on that, pray for me 🙏🏾

[@lovedolphins5288]

[@madammecocoa4950]

Are you happy with the workers as in honest, reliable, knowledgeable, and competent? If so, would you please share their information so that they can be of service agin to others. Thank you.

Hi, I love what you have done!!!! My plan is to visit next year (hopefully) and would like to meet with you!

[@saikoumanneh5830]

looking good and solid.

[@annasenghore]

Hi there, i know you said its hard to give pricing since everyone might be doing something different but can you give us a ball park figure of how much you spent totally on the house please? An estimate would work. I just bought a land and im currently fencing the land and im getting ready to start the building process. Your home looks amazing by the way.

[@vbtouray4000]

This is an awesome video. My family owns land in Gambia and will build soon. Are you willing to refer some of the contractors you've used?

[@tinkera2818]

Yes, absolutely

Wow your house is wonderful.

[@chiefsinghateh3092]

like the way you plan the building work. could you help me link up with your builder and the rest of the team for your rails, electric work and plumbing and bathroom works and celings.

[@TheNewcharter]

With the walls being brick, it got to feel like an oven inside. Is using insulation with framing alongside the brick be an option to keep the temperature down? Is insulation expensive in the Gambia? Thank you.

[@tinkera2818]

Interesting! 99% of Gambian buildings are built this way and it does not feel like an oven inside. The house is pretty close to the ocean so it gets chilly most nights!

[@kentate5868]

coming to gambia in November would love to see the finish product and meet the builder, if that is possible thanks

[@u000na0]

Thanks for a great and inspirational video.

[@Star-wd5en]

This is beautiful. How does an African of the Diaspora get in contact with a construction builder in the Gambia to build a home for them?

[@abdouliesenghore5602]

There are now contractors there.. just search online and u will see a few but make sure they are trustworthy. am just starting to go thru the process myself.i found buying the land is more stressful as u have to extra careful.making sure the person selling is the owner.

[@PRETTYPIMPIN195]

So what was the final total cost to build this home?

[@tinkera2818]

It's still ongoing. We are at the finishing Stage. So I don't have a final cost.

[@PRETTYPIMPIN195]

@@tinkera2818 So what is the total cost so far? Doesn’t have to be exact just an estimate is good. I’m looking to build 6 bedroom 5 bath in Gambia.

Sheetrock ceiling is a bad idea here in Caribbean

[@tinkera2818]

Interesting, why are you not using it in the Caribbean? It is mostly used for ceilings in west Africa.

[@lai7034]

What is the square footage of your home? May I ask the time line it took to complete? And did you use the same contractor from beginning to end?

[@hajarmahdi7003]

Looks great where did you get architectural design for the home?

[@Lizzabitty]

What were you saying about the mosquito nets on the windows? I couldnt understand what you were conveying..

[@alasanbah2660]

He meant those nets are there to prevent the mosquitoes from entering inside the rooms

I love this. What is your contact info I am interested in building. Also is solar power an option for energy?

I love your job 👍

[@baboucarrjitehbojang881]

Can you please tell us the whole cost of your 4 Bed Room House in The Gambia from start to finish. So 1.3 Million GMD which is about 27 K US DOLLARS is not the final total cost? Thanks.

[@tinkera2818]

No, that's not the final cost. D1.3M is the cost of the super structure. The rest depends on what kind of finishes you want to install.

[@baboucarrjitehbojang881]

[@rainingzion7601]

If necessary can you build in section or does it have to be built in section?

[@alandthomas2952]

This is m amazing work. How much does it usually cost to build a wall around your plot. Example a 20/20 plot or 40/40. Blessings

[@tinkera2818]

It's about D1250 ~ $25 per meter of wall, 11 blocks high. This is inclusive of labor and materials.

@@tinkera2818 That's odd. I've just fenced my 21x23 compound in Jabang using trusted local Gambian friends and it cost me about £900 each 20m wall including materials: 4 x Sand £400 2 x Red Stone £400 100 x cement (D285 a bag) Labour paying a fair D500 a day for skilled blockers and D300 day for unskilled labourers. I also paid their return taxis and lunch. Prices for materials Cement D285 Sand D7,000 Red Stone D12,000 Iron rods D8,000 Adding that up it already comes to much much more than your quoted cost. I'd say it costs about £3,000 minimum to fence a 20x20 compound 12 courses high (2m from foundation). Make sure you dig foundations at least 60Cm and put in a supporting pier every 4M with iron rod support, also an expansion joint every 12m NO WAY YOU CAN BUILD A 2M QUALITY WALL FOR $25 @ METRE MY FRIEND. Unless you doing it yourself. I reward my builders by paying them well and getting lunch and return taxis. I suppose you could save money by treating your builders as like cheap slaves but even that wouldn't concur with only $25 per metre

[@antoniovaldez8717]

Hey nice layout. I am a drafter starting the planing to move their, set up my business and build a house. Was you the general contractor. If not do you have the contractor number. I like this style Home. I am caught between conventional brick or I.FC. cement wall home. They are faster to build. What was ur sq footage.
