Oga you are good o. shocked
abdulwastecx:


assuming the following:
depth of foundation 600mm ( 3 courses of 6" block)
assuming a toilet of 6' x 4' ( 1.8m x 1.2m) and two toilwt per flat
assuming a living room of 14'x14' (4.2 x 4.2m)
assuming a kitchen of 8' x 8' (2.4 x 2.4m)
assuming a dinning of 8' x 8' (2.4 x 2.4m)

setting out should cost like N30,000

perimeter each of the room 3 x 3.6m ( 10 x 12) = ( (2x3)+(2x3.6)) = 13.2m x 2 x 3 = 79.2m
perimeter of living room/ dining for the three flats = (4.2 x 4)+(2.4 x 4) = 26.4m x 3 =79.2m
perimeter of kitchen/toilets = (2.4 x 4 ) +((1.2x2) + (1.8x2)) x 2) = 13.92m = 41.76m
total perimeter of the house = 200.16m

allowing 15% for circulation and veranda = 1.15 x 200.16 = 230.184m

depth of foundation = 600mm (2')
rate of excavation N300/m = N69,000(can be lower depending on location of building)

foundation strip footing depth and width of footing = 100mm (4''), 450mm(18'')
volume of concrete = 0.1 x 0.45 x 230 = 10.35m3
cement required using mix ratio of 1:3:6 = 1/10x10.35x1506/50 = 47bags of cement @ N200 per bag = N94,000
sand required = 3/10 x 10.35 x 1.6 = 5 tonnes of sand @ N1,600/tonnes = N8,000
gravel required = 6/10 x 10.35 x2.4 = 15 tonnes @ N8,000/tonnes = N120,000
workmanship = N40,000

foundation block = 230 x 0.6 x 10 =1380blocks @ N120/block = N165,600
cement for molter = 25bags @ N2000/bags = N50,000
sand = 5 tonnes = N8,000
workmanship = N70,000

filling and compaction to DPC level: depending on site conditions

DPM = N8,000
DPC of 75mm thick = 185 x 0.075 = 13.875m3
cement = 40bags = N80,000
sand = 15 tonnes = N24,000
gravel = 5 tonnes = N40,000
workmanship = N40,000

formwork for the DPC = N20,000

SUM = N850,000 ( MINUS CONTINGENCY)

Please sorry am asking this question on this thread but i really need an answer.
How much will it take to do a 6 metre high fence around a plot of land. i think dimension is 648 square feet or something like that.
thanks

What do you need a 20 feet high fence for ,?

Its too high o.

Up to 6000 blocks. A 4 metre fence is very okay. Who gave you that height ?

2 bedroom flat and it will be 3 flats on that foundation, not too spacious room. 10x12 room size, don't want to spend too much money on it cos I am renting it out, what I need now is how much it will cost me to lay the foundation

Because you are renting it out you intend to do shabby, sub.standard, danerous work. Thought I could help but you need an anti.corruption orientation mister.

Re: Cost Of laying a bungalow Foundation by Jarus(m): 3:55pm On Feb 24, 2015
It depends on how dry the area is and how high you want it to be.


I spent roughly 1.5m on this foundation plus filling. It's a 3-bedroom bungalow. This is somewhere around Ajah Lagos

@ abdulwastec, could you please tell me how much it will cost to put a fence round 2 plots of land (100*100). Thanks for the anticipated response.

assumptions:
height of fence = 3m (10')
depth of fence foundation = 600mm ( 2')

total height of wall = 3.2m

perimeter of a 100ft x 100ft (30m x 30m) = (2 x 30) + (2 x 30) = 120m

excavation of foundation @ N300/m = 120 x 30 = N36,000

blinding/footing to fence = 120 x 0.1 x 0.625 = 7.5m3
using mix ratio of 1:3:6;
part of cement = 7.5 x 1506 x 1/10 x 1/50 = 25bags @ N2000/bags = N50,000
part of sand = 3/10 x 7.5 x 1.6 = 4 tonnes @ N1600/tonne = N6,400
part of gravel = 6/10 x 7.5 x 2.4 = 12tonnes @ N8000/tonnes = N96,000
workmanship for concreting = N20,000


block work:
blocks required = perimeter x total height x percentage increase of 30% = 120 x 3.2 x 1.3 = 499.2m2
Quantity of block = 499.2 x 10 = 4992 blocks @ N150/9"block = N750,000
cement for the block work = 70bags @ N2000 = N140,000
sand for the block work = 11/2 trip @ N30,000/trip = N45,000
workmanship for block work @ N50/block = 5000 x 60 = N250,000

Total = 1.4million

re u an architect sire??

I am a builder and the quote I gave is something I know if it must go any less it will not be more than a 100 to 150k when you want to get it balance because sometime the typography of the land you can decide to increase the course all these must be put to consideration in preparing a quote to make the clients know what he is up for and when you inventually get to site then both of you will settle for better cost even the q.s too don't give exactly the cost,what I understand on quote is making the client expect much and if he now decides to handle the project with his high expectations and him able to consult before concluding he might spend less or exactly the quote he got but if he is given a lower quote and starts getting it high it will show to him that he is probably being cheated.

Any quote we give here does not really mean that the client should call you for the job but to assist and prepare them for their project.

Yes, if the correct man handles it for you.

I can place 1 bedroom flat × 6 on ( 50 × 100 ).

So 2 bedroom flat × 4 should be easier.
