Alot of times most people just want to cut cost without looking at the long time effect
Simply because someone can do it cheaper doesn't mean he is better and more affordable than the next professional
Cheap is expensive
Look at this building below, if the client had went for what he knows he could Afford to build, this won't have happened
He was trying to save cost so that he would have money to finish the building
My advice is if what you want to build is 5 bedroom duplex but what you have at hand can only build 3 bedroom bungalow, I will advise you go for the 3 bedroom bungalow
Trying to build 5 bedroom duplex would make you start cutting corners, you will start looking for who can do it cheaper and end up engaging Quacks
Secondly, Foundation is not a place to save cost
If any of my clients is trying to save cost on the foundation, I always walk away because tomorrow if the building fall and kill all his family member
I won't find it funny, he will tell the whole world how I am a quack and how I ended up killing all his love ones
If you're trying to build something like this building below, be Ready to spend
Always go for soil test, engage a professional
Seek for advice on the right foundation that will be able to hold the building
And before embarking on any building project, please always know the cost implications first
You will be shocked to find out that the difference between the Professional that was laid off and the quack that handled this building is 50,000 Naira
Always Engage a Professional Builder
