[@imonwabu7325]

Happy new year Engineer, Please I need some clearification, the figures you gave for the stages, like DPC(ie German Floor), the block work and the Decking, were the blocks., cement and rods included?

[@UmekRealestate]

Yeah… this project was started in 2021 and concluded in 2023 so those figures may not be the case now…

[@suntanglory]

Nice work engineer! I am just wondering what will 12x16meter and 14x18 meter house in similar standard of finish cost then,if you don't mind,maybe in enugu?Thank you.

[@UmekRealestate]

Hi thanks for your comments, we can only do an estimate with a drawing, and this takes a lot of time to calculate all the various materials… so first step is to get a drawing… is it a duplex or bungalow? And other considerations… cheers!!!

@@UmekRealestate hi there, please how do you ensure a safe transaction between you and the client? I am looking for people to replicate this kind of building. how much will cost. do you do the architecture? why do you not have a website? how far am i sure this is not a scam?

[@UmekRealestate]

Hi there, thank you for your comment, So we have a physical office and are ready to meet and enter a contractual agreement for any part of your project you would want us to handle… a website does not guarantee authenticity, however, we would get one when the company deems it fit… And yes we are a building design and construction company …

@@UmekRealestate thank you for your response. please can you do a quality house with a reasonable budget? are you based in port harcout? I am scared of scam but i was wondering if you can also help with land acquisition too. do you accept the property to built in stages? do you take over the monitoring and supervision of materials? maybe we could talk better. i would like a honest and truthful working relationship which is quite rare in nigeria with the high rates of scam :-( please try to put yourself in my shoes. I need someone i can trust

[@UmekRealestate]

@@user-es2fg6hl3z Yes we are in Port Harcourt, if you want us to help purchase material, design your building and build everything to handing over the key… we actually do a turn-key kind of project… if that is what you wish … and the thing about trust is, when it takes convincing to start trusting then it is not real trust… you can start small and convince yourself wether we are genuine/trustworthy or not… all I can say is we are in for business and not anything else… all our projects are verifiable …

[@abilitycompass6559]

Thank you very much. This is very enlightening. Where are you based?

[@UmekRealestate]

Thanks for your comments, in Port Harcourt right now but willing to do jobs outside all around Nigeria

[@mannaija1]

Wow! How much would this cost today in Benin city?

[@UmekRealestate]

Depends on a lot of factors but say from 50M and above…

How much will be required to build a 5 bedroom duplex in Port Harcourt Today.

[@UmekRealestate]

Depends on size and choice of finish.

[@teddybearjay3279]

How many bedrooms is this place? If someone wanted to build 24 bedroom mansion in Abuja? Like 2-3 storey?

[@UmekRealestate]

This is a 4Bedrooms duplex

[@beedazldqueen2579]

if you dont mind measking, why do engineers or construction in nigeria have lintel around the entire house dimension. is it a structural member or its just meant to be a stud for attachment of doors and windows. if its a stud then it doesnt need to run the entire stretch.

[@UmekRealestate]

In most cases, we use it to replace the chain beam above lintel, which is a structural member… instead of having a lintel and then a beam above the lintel, we then just chat in the building at the lintel level to save that bit that would have gone in for only lintel and then a beam…

[@idma8672]

I studied Architecture and have a little experience with building construction though i am currently not active in the field. I would say we use beams here mainly for structural reasons. One reason is to help to spread and transfer dead load or live load to the ground via the columns. Another i would say is to help to prevent in the occurrence, cracks from running from the base to top of a wall(cracks can happen as a result of settlement, building fire etc.). Having the lintel can help to maintain structural integrity while you replace damaged walls. I hope i helped.

[@valerienwigwe3663]

How much should i buget for a 5 bedroom duplex as of now?

[@UmekRealestate]

Depends more on your choices … but realistically, at least 40M and above

[@festusnana9374]

Pls the 3 milion for foundation can same 3 million be ok to do foundation for a buliding of a storey bulid with 4 flat.2 down and 2 up with a self contain

[@UmekRealestate]

No sir, for the records, that foundation was done in 2021, and the cost cannot be same at the moment... the kind of building you are asking about will cost about 5M and above in present day Nigeria

[@julietigbinukhegie9805]

Good morning bros, this amount is it with the materials or only the workman

[@UmekRealestate]

That was for the material and labour, as at when the building was built…

The 30 million naira does it include the land. Pls reply ASAP.
