Cost Of Fence On 1 Plot Of Land by Nobody: 10:05am On Feb 17, 2010
Hi all,

My husband and I would like to fence our property in Ajao Estate, off Int. Airport Rd. We got someone who quoted N900k to fence up to raft level, ie for now, we would not be raising the block. We would be glad if our in-house experts can give us a better quotation, with the cost breakdown. This project is taking off ASAP, so ur quick response will be appreciated
Re: Cost Of Fence On 1 Plot Of Land by Nobody: 11:28am On Feb 17, 2010
[b]Fencing takes x2 of of blocks you would use for building. Since you wont be leaving any window, door space, etc.
I dont know why you cant get it done at once, but if you will be doing that, heres a breakdown:

1500 pieces of 9x9 blocks @ 150 per 1 = #225,000 (The 9 inches block would be use for base up to 4 coaches because its thicker, and much more stronger)
3000 pieces of 6x6 blocks @ 130 per 1 = #390,000 (would be use for the remaining setting and would give you 10 or 11 coach fence).
1 truck of granite @ #120,000 (granite would be use for the wall foundation)
70 bags of cement (because of the high water state of the soil in papa ajao I hope its the same papa ajao close to the airport)
70 roles of 12mm steel @ 1500 per 1 = 105,000 (for the pillars or reinforcement between every 4ft of the fence, )
you need woods you shouldnt be spending more than #60,000 on getting enough 12x12 and 1x2 for the entire fencing.
Digging the fence foundation shouldnt cost more than #20,000
7 trucks of sharp sand @ 25,000 per 1 = #175,000 (Im sure sharp sand would be alot more expensive down there, but the last one I bought around there was 25k)
2 trucks of dagbolu @ #30,000 per 1 = #60,000

Then that leaves you with negotiating a price with your workers. If you use a charlatan, he would probably erect you a fence that would fall and start crumbling within 2-3 years. And please, after the fence have been fully erected, make sure the contractor use piece of broken blocks to fill and block the open space between the blocks above. Usually, rain enter these holes, and weaken the fence with time. I am sure youve seen some fence turning green because of moss and sponges growing all over them and inside them. Best of luck with securing your plot.

@ aasog. Thanks a lot. The place I'm talking about is Ajao Estate, along Airport Rd , not Papa Ajao (which is at Mushin). Yes the area is swampy, tho our site is raised. Our reason for wanting to do only up to the base (about 3 coaches over the pillar), is because we're short of funds right now. So we were advised to do the fence. So, we want to do the digging, erect the pillars for fence, and possibly take it up to the raft, but definitely not the full fence for now. If you were to do this, what would be total cost breakdown. I just want to be sure before we start committing funds. Thanks again.
Re: Cost Of Fence On 1 Plot Of Land by Nobody: 7:03pm On Feb 17, 2010
1 truck of gravel @ 30,000 (you can use gravel for the base after digging, but that will necessitate the reinforcement/pillars after you are done)
1500 pieces of 9x9 blocks @ 150 per 1 = #225,000
2 trucks of sharp sand @ 25,000 per = #50,000
20 bags of cement @ 1800 per 1 = #36,000
Digging wont cost you more than #30,000

will get you three coaches with some little blocks remaining. You can leave the space for the pillars since it cant be filled until the entire 10 coaches has been done.
And finding a good bricklayer shouldnt be so tasking. He could get the job in a day or 3 or more, depending on how time conscious he is.

Re: Cost Of Fence On 1 Plot Of Land by xstudios(m): 5:03pm On Feb 25, 2010
byte2tera,

cost control is great on your project,only am wondering what quality control there is like. several things i have noticed going around town.

1. foundation without footings just the work base [blinding] which leads to eventual collapse and cracking of the wall.
2. quality of work done
3. quality f materials used.

so pls just check these and if you still have your cost reading what you say it is lets talk but i seriously doubt that it will come evn close to being sensible. but do call me if it check i can send plenty down your side

you just might have someone conjuring cement and material up for you but its not my place to question those things as long as they measure up

Re: Cost Of Fence On 1 Plot Of Land by lawyer(m): 9:35pm On Feb 25, 2010
Fantastic Topic that should benefit every land owner and future land owner. Please pay attention to all these gurus and people that have fenced recently because no matter how expensive you bought the land, it is always advisable to start fencing immediately or within a reasonable time frame to prevent thieves from grabbing your land.

Cheers

Thank you very much, lawyer.
Re: Cost Of Fence On 1 Plot Of Land by beninman1(m): 7:00pm On Feb 26, 2010
Can any of the gurus that have commented here quote me for a septic tank. Site is near Sango Tedo.
Job needs to be done like yesterday.
Septic tank would be concrete all through.
I have the structural design which i can email to you so you can quote.
Better to see structural design before quoting in order to ensure accuracy and uniform quote.
Cos it has to be done exactly as stated on design i.e. dimensions and thickness
email me at : robpetmalta@yahoo.co.uk
Re: Cost Of Fence On 1 Plot Of Land by Nobody: 9:43pm On Feb 27, 2010
Will it be a simple brick built soakaway or a proprietary glass fibre/ will there be a plastic tank inside. And will it simply be for waste, or will it include water?
Usually it includes water where you have no gutter and theres no way of getting used water/dirty water out.
Also lets know what the Max will be. Typically, Max is 10x10 and minimum is 6x6.
Minimum septic C = 2000 litres / 180 litres/person.
Email me here: adetund19@yahoo.com with structural design, I will help you draw out an estimate you can give out to your contractor.
Re: Cost Of Fence On 1 Plot Of Land by beninman1(m): 9:57pm On Feb 27, 2010
Many thanks. I shall email you tonight. It is not glass but concrete wall all the way with re-inforced slabs on the top cos cars might drive over

concrete mixing +masonry                 NAN75,000
carpentry                                          NAN50,000
bricklaying 700 blocks                       NAN50,000
supervision                                         NAN50,000

I don't know who you think you're kidding but this price is way to high. Let's keep the 419 to a minimum here.
Fencing a plot of land to 4 coaches level will not cost close to 700K

Carpentry and Wielder will cost no more that 40K
The brick layer will be doing the mixing so you don't need to waste 75k on "concrete mixing +masonry"
You can supervise the small project your self. You don't need to pay 50K to any nobody. This shouldn't take more that 3 days to complete. If you need help, Thirdeye have some good articles on supervising your own project on his website. Check it out.

My little contribution.

For you to know the likely quantity of blocks required, just do this arithmetic.

1 metre of land will require 3 units of blocks, either 6 inches/9 inches, this is the normal standard. If you are fencing a plot of land of 60 by 120,
that is:
60 + 60+ 120 + 120 = 360 metres.

In essence, you are fencing 360 metres! 60 metres back and front and 120 meters each for the two sides.

At 3 units of blocks per metre, you need 360/3 blocks : 120 blocks for each coach for the 4 sides of the land (this is the max as you will still need to create space for gate, etc which will reduce the quantity of blocks. Whatever excess you get here will take care of normal loss.

120 blocks at N110 per unit (depending on your supplier) = N13,200 per coach
if you are going to 7 coaches, that is (120 blocks x 7 coaches) 840 blocks or N92,400 for blocks

On the average, bricklayers use 1 bag of cement to lay 60 blocks, so you will need 840/60 = 14 bags of cement

At N1,800 per bag, the cement will cost N25,200 aside from carriage cost.

I leave you to pick the earlier advise on costs estimates for iron rods, concrete foundation, 1 by 12 wood, carpentry labour, etc.

I hope I have contributed a little to reducing your burden.

Building house is not as difficult as people (especially masons, etc) make it to sound.

cheers
