QS in the building.
Specifications are not complete and calculations incorrect
e.g
5) 5 inches nail 3 bags @ N8,500
Is it N8,500 per bag or per specific number or per half bag? etc.
if per bag then the calculation is wrong

for a 4-bedroom flat. Total cost of roof structure for N689,100 is still fair but can be reduced by 50k-100k depending your location

Yes, N8,500 per bag. Total = N25,500 not N255,000 that was a typo, can't edit it.

Location = A lagos sub-urb.

Thanks everyone for your contribution.

Please ask the carpenters the name(s) of woods he intends to use. Many house owners are yet to realize the implication of the species of wood for roofing until 2 or more year when they start seeing their roofs crumbling or having defects.
The quote is questionable but until the location, roof design, wood species etc are ascertained i will have to reserve my comment since it is my main sector

I paid 300,000 NAIRA for the wood and 100,000 for workmanship.3 bedroom bungalow,just last month.130,000 WAS FIRST QUOTED for workmanship but another carpenter was invited he agreed to get 100,000 so as not to lose the job to a competitor.
I now need experts on
Doors and Windows mainly.Lagos based only.

pls what kind of roof did you use and how much was the total?

@twinskenny.
Woodwork 307,000 -WOOD,NAILS ETC
Workmanship 100,000 CEILING INCLUSIVE
Longspan aluminium 0.55 and installation 650,000

@jarus, 680k is not reasonable for only the woodwork. If that involves the roof cover (aluminum or nigerite) then the cost can be reasonable. But the OP said only the woodwork. 680k is too high. But I can see there were items not needed in the list and there are wrong calculations also.
5 inch nail is not needed. What is needed is 4inch and 3 inch nail. 4inch of two bags and 3inch of one bag. You won't need up to 22 fascia board. Maximum of 20 is OK. Two bundles of oja agba is OK too. The capenters labour of 160k is too high. Maximum of 100k or much less.
As a matter of fact, most of the quotation above is in excess. You don't need as much wood as listed there.
I'm well experienced in this (son of a carpenter, semi- capenter myself) and I recently finished my roofing of 3 bedroom apartment too. I spent around N300k for my woodwork.
@op you can email me for further advice [formailsalone (a) gmail dot com] or send your WhatsApp contact.

@ pragmatism, can you give a quote based on the roof drawing?

great work,my project is now on roofing stage and I dey pray for God blessing

Error
Long-span aluminium and installation should be 600,000 not 650,000.50,000 for installation and 550,000 for 0.55.I confirmed this with the person in charge.

Please how much will it cost to roof a 4 bedroom house.

ambrosedmax:
oga this is way too much, well your location matters, I stay in abuja, lugbe to be precised, and I sell woods for roofing, in this line of business carpenters are always out there to kill clients, I mean the merge with suppliers to sell goods below the official figure you were given, if you give ur carpenter that money to go get it, he may end up buying 15 facial-board, so on with the other sliced woods, even in your presence they will always have their tricks, then again, the kind/design of roofing matters again, the best advice is you look for a timber market around u, go without your carpenter, do a survey, everybody in the market will want to sell to you, making them crash prices against that of eachothers. By the time you get home with different list, I believe you'll have your choice to make. Then again, I wish to tell you that woods are of different qualities and types, there is a particular yellowish and black colour type of wood, the igbos call it "APKONTU" yorubas call it "AYIN" and hausa's call it "MEREKE" .. Oga this is the best wood is westafrica for roofing, long life span unlike some red woods.. Another ones which most carpenters buy because of it being cheaper and always easy for them to nail is red-wood and ordinary and common ones. Then for facial boards, obeche plank seems the best, then ora" before iroko... So whatever qualities you want must be your choice,
obeche for f.board = 1400
Ora for f.board =1300
Iroko for f.board = 1200
Then for the woods,
AYIN 2x4 = 400
Red wood 2X4= 350
Ayin 2x3 = 300
Red wood 2x3 = 250
Ayin 2x6 = 600
Red wood 2x6 =550
Then nails 5 inc 8,000
4 inc 8,700 .. Then your transportation is always negotiatable, I must all that your carpenter will always grumble if you decide to go and buy on your own, and may use words like, "this woods are bad" I should have gotten them myself bla bla". I also notice you didn't add 2x2 its always used for nogging for ceiling and pvcs, for those quantities quoted above, your carpenter will always reduce them when he goes to buy them. Trust me. Its too much. I stay in abuja and I've supplied as far as lagos, and environs. You also need to be careful with your site engineers " those guys too though. You call always call for any assistance- 08039351165
