Please delete the thread. It's too fractured to be of use.

Sir I think an architect, builder or engineer should be on ground during pegging and setting out..

.

EgunMogaji:


Yes builder will be on the ground but I need to know the costs.

I am also interested in the costs, am about to do similar project..

Builders In the house we need your inputs...
Cc
adebaxton
Spyder
Segzy14
Opalu
Abdulwastecx
Podosci
And others...

The outline below will make them work happily.


Pegging and setting out- NGN 4,000
Digging foundation- NGN 8,000
Setting of foundation blocks (I calculated approx. 60 blocks per course and 4 courses)
60blocks x4= 240 blocks( Mason NGN 35 per block,labor NGN 15 per block) 35+15= 50 X 240 blocks= NGN 12,000
Casting of pillar- NGN 7,000

What should I pay an iron bender for:
Setting up nine short pillars- 900X 9 pillars and mat = NGN 8,100

What should I pay a carpenter for:
Framing the 9 pillars- NGN 6,000

Thanks.

EgunMogaji:
This is going to go into a section of my existing lot that has the foundation already constructed for my future courtyard bungalow.

The ground floor is 24 feet by 24 feet (a somewhat oversized two car garage). The second floor is slightly less than 25 feet by 25 feet, supported by nine pillars with a sloping flat roof and a balcony.

I need help in calculating what I should pay artisans for work on the foundation, bricklayer, carpenter and welder. I source the materials and get it delivered onsite so that cost doesn't matter as it's what it is. I'm hoping artisans cannot remove materials like rebar from sites

What should I pay a bricklayer for:

Pegging and setting out
Digging foundation
Setting of foundation blocks (I calculated approx. 60 blocks per course and 4 courses)
Casting of pillar

What should I pay an iron bender for:
Setting up nine short pillars

What should I pay a carpenter for:
Framing the 9 pillars

Thanks.

Nice analysis sir...
But is the 4000 naira pegging money for materials or Labour?

And is the 50naira Manson Labour for 6" or 9" blocks?
Will the 900 naira work for short pillar height of 7 feet?
Thanks.....

EgunMogaji:


I recognize you Sir and I thank you for your time.

I absolutely want people that work on my site to be happy and contented with our negotiated rate but it's this Americana pricing that they give me that causes me concern despite the fact that I plead with them that I don't want to bargain.

The builder wants N50,000 and Iron bender wants N35,000

50,000 naira is much...
But maybe your builder included supervision...

.

EgunMogaji:


He knows that I don't need a supervisor on my site. I'm hiring him as a bricklayer.

It's a 24x24 feet open foundation with no partitioning.

Okay...
50k is too much then....

Just like the one am doing in ibadan now. i made the blocks last week about 2000 and dug foundation yesterday. Seemed you copied my plan the second one. As regards cost! hmmmm my bungalow is on a 50X100 plot and de building is like 40x40 including one internal garage. A friend of de family is doing it and i was told from the beginning to have 1.5m to finish it. He just finished his own so .......

I thought it was a joke but they weren't lying cause by this coming friday the house will be ready for roofing and haven't spent up to 550k.

i am planning to start a thread too cause i have picture taken of the construction process. it is in ibadan too sha.

Just a bit scared to put price and cost here until i finish the build patapata i no want trouffle.

But Egunmogaji it seemed u dey uk if you pass me ur detail will tok privately and u wont regret it.

some correction on ur plan. maybe u should put a door to access the garrage from the house itself instead to dey waka outside.

That 1.5m & 500k, is that for the main building (40x40) or just for the Garage/2Bedrooms building?
Your thread will be most useful. Thanks.

Hajji M.

1.5m and at 375 to a pounder...... happy dayz

all o. i go put am up at the appropriate time but it looked exactly like egunmogaji's own.

.

.

EgunMogaji:

It's more of a workshop (Ile Odu Ta Ti Ma Mu Ogbon Jade) than a garage. It's meant to be a separate entity and can be easily converted in the future to a full fledge flat if I so desire.
Thanks though.

Anytime mate. I understand about the garage stuff sha, even me sef I have a room i told dem was a drawing room on my plan and the guy asked wetin be dat? because he was thinking of doing two bed . but all in all I will make sure they are all compensated for their work because the number of crew on site is something else.

Blocks were molded on site and in one day which is good for quality control and you get cement rich blocks. Oga Mufutau I am seriously considering it.

In the end it depends on who someone approach and how many millions someone is willing to waist. Me got nothing to waist o

EgunMogaji:
Oga AbdulWastecx, I saw this plan of yours on another thread and it looks like you drew for 6" blocks on the perimeter.

Is this advisable?

Thanks.

yes sir

.

EgunMogaji:


Thanks Guvnor. Should I at least consider pillars at the corners or as long as the walls are interlocked it will be okay?

Gotta to pay for tips sometimes. Nothing is free these days, boss.

.

EgunMogaji:


Who do I owe payment for tips to?

Certainly not you.

If abdulwastec gives the tips or let's say me.

@EgunMogaji, i love this concept and i am about to plagiarize it. I already have a decked garage and was about to slope it while tiling but this concept just trumps that idea. Dimensions are approximately 26ft x 20ft.
