I am a big fan of so many experts here especially egunmogaji etc. However, I will need an expert advice of how much it will cost to build from the scratch the following; 5 Bedroom + BQ Detached Duplex on an expansive land of 2 and a half plot with a big garden for exotic plants and crops cited in a gated space, space for 4 automobiles, plastered fence of 11 coches in Akure and Lagos.

I will appreciate a reasonable and fair estimation from honest experts. Thanks my fellas

The dimension of the building is 23,190mm by 9,300mm (175.4 Sqm) this house is relatively small hence my doubt.
His total rebar quantities are:

2.5 tonnes of 16mm @ 160k par tonne = 400k
4 tonnes of 12mm @ same price = 640k
2 tonnes of 10 mm @ same price = 320k
3/4 tonnes of 8mm @ same price = 120k
Labour 150k
Total ==== N1,630,000 for Rebars alone oooo

well, I just collected the quotation yesterday and too vex to even call him for any negotiation.

That's alot.

well this is what I saw on the road today, pre cut and bent starter rods.beams etc.Im hoping one day our builders in the house would adopt this methods, bend your irons b4 site.

I don't think this is new or spectacular. Especially if you have limited working space on your site but...

-Sometimes foundation levels aren't the same so each starter bar with its own varying height.

-Some client might accuse you of buying "off-cuts" for their site.

-Still the same effort to cut before site and on site too..

These are what you'll need before getting a fair estimate on your proposed project;
(1) survey plan
(2) complete design house plan.

Goodluck.

You certainly can't be getting different sizes of reinforcement at the same price per ton. That is mistakenly not possible.

Mushin, for Tiles, is way too expensive.

Orile is your best bet in terms of pricing and volume.

Caveat: **** I dont sell Tiles or anything, for that matter**** undecided
Your location determines how favourable the price is plus the price variations are not that much especially for naija tiles. The ones you get at expensive price in Mushin are the imported ones.

Contrary to ur view yes you buy them at almost same price or even same price other factors determines the variations in price but basically a ton of stell has same price.

It's all about weight and nothing more. Having the same price has nothing to do with it. We may only argue if the price difference is insignificant at all depending on the quantity involved.

These are the various prices in my location a couple of days back when I purchased.
16mm-------3500
12mm-------1900
10mm-------1250
8mm---------1050

Do the calculations as against the quantity per ton and see which favours which and who it favours.

Is inhuman to form a cartel to punish the masses, is also in front of news papers that cement industries made the highest profit within the last one year of the increment of price from 2000 naira to 2700 naira among other sector of the economy. Well Dangote is government and government is Dangote , the company will always like to monopolize any sector they came in to. Building materials producers are there making much profit, while the minister for works is there talking about reduction in house rent. We all know that the power sector is not performing but do also know that breweries in Nigeria don't run on PHCN but at least the prices of products has not jumped like that of building materials. Just take your time and check the price of cement in any African country where Dangote is exporting cement to, then compere it with what they sales in Nigeria where they produce the so called cement.

In response to this post above, manufacturers spent 129.95billion Naira on power generation last year, it is on the front page, you can go peruse over it if you can, this are part of the cost in the production process & chain that they all go through daily and they pass it to consumers via their products, and as long as the kangaroo government both past and present didn't do enough to address nor ameliorate this issue, the masses are in for tougher times ahead, you don't expect me to spend so much to produce a bag of cement and put it in the market at a loss smiley

Nigeria is the only country where every and any investor who knows the right persons within the social circle will rip excessive profits. With all the hullabaloo about power generation and distribution we are all aware of the magnificent profits MTN declared in Nigeria and when you compared that to the parent country South Africa you will know that we're here in this country for exploitation.
Sure we in for tougher times and God willing it will not be so so tough.
The oil sector is about to enter a revolution and you can guess what Nigerians should be expecting when the actors involved are the ones who want nothing but monopoly.

The only reason they sold and bought discos was only to make wholesome profits. Even to allocate prepaid meters is a huge problem even when users have actually requested and paid for such.

@bixton. That's the idea. Only to reap profits. I still have not received my prepaid meter that I've paid for over 3 years now. I guess every homeowner is a government-you depend on yourself for electricity(generator or inverter), water(thru borehole).
