Good write - up. I am however of the opinion that price is not always a function of the quality of the work. Price is sometime determined by the negotiating powers of the parties involved.

Most time when you approached a lawyer to prepare a deed of assignment for you, you are always tempted to conclude that the lawyer who charges more is more competent, but that is not truly the case.


The price is a function of the bargaining powers of the parties. The location no doubt plays an important role.

bixton:


So what's the output of work per day at this rate?
You are a paying client and you're supposed to be more explicit with numerous jobs done.

diordaves:


To add to your take, labour cost is a function of:

Negotiation

Availability of competition (Labour)

Location

The quality demanded and

The location of the homeowner. If the homeowner is a diaspora, labour cost will be higher.

The truth is labour cost is subjective. It is possible to plaster a duplex for 200k and 700k as this is based on individual circumstances.

To me, labour cost is not fraud. Labour cost is not stealing from client. It is an agreed sum by both parties to do a job. So if one thinks the labour cost is too much, negotiate and if not satisfied, look somewhere else. This is never fraud.

I want to understand how the client being in diaspora will make the labour cost higher? Why would the labours know that the client is in diaspora? Who will tell them?

If bread is N10, a person from the diaspora cannot buy it at that price but higher say N15?

No be we dey do ourselves? This is the same reason we are expecting inflation to increase as soon as the new minimum wage is paid.

There has to be a standard for labour pricing, so we dont under-price workers and over-price clients. Funny enough there are more supply of labour in lagos than anywhere else, yet our prices are still roof-high.
@goodfaith,

i sent you a pm.

i have a project in ibeju lekki that am about to plaster, a 4bedroom duplex and a twin 2bedroom flat. i try to avoid labour from that lekki/ ibeju lekki axis, from experience , so i decided to cross water and get one from ikorodu. when the guy give me bill, i was in shock!.

1.65m internal external and fence!!. (i am pretty sure he saw the size of the building and ofcos the building was in lekki/ibeju lekki axis)

i told him if i see any client give him that kind of money for plastering, i myself will go and learn how to plaster. after a month he is begging for 700k! i still feel i can get it cheaper.

we grind hard for this money.

Bro, have you seen the guys pre ious work? If he is good please you can send me his no as well. That is if he eventually does your work and you are satisfied then I will use him too

To all member here, let me drop this here before i stop arguing about the quote the op brought here.

ALHAJI MUFUTA and all others concerned member needs to sanitized this tread before it will go south.

I dont claimed to be mr know it all, i dont know anything, all God knows things all.

But some peoples that do comes here to mislead people here which cleint(s) which few client will now beleived that some engr reap them off ( although some builder, engr, qs are bad) but we still have so many good profectionals here and outside here but due to some NON profectionals QUOTE, TALK, here make some of these profectionals always come to ready and move away without giving any VALUABLE COMMENTS again.

How can someone says that 250K WILL plaster 4BEDROOMS DUPLEX NOW A DAYS.

Just recently a member here gave me 4 bedroom duplex to palstered he is an Engr too.
The cost is more than 900k.( labour only)
Profectional knows that size of building determine the cost.
Single room in the said building was plastered by 4 Masons, (very big space/height). I have done 4 bedroom duplex for 1m plus, some 700k plus so all depends on size and location.

Aventures:
Bros, you don big pass this argument. You just have to say your opinion and ignore nonsensical comments. it is left for the requester of advice to sieve and pick best of advice.

and i am been charged 900 per sqm for a simple gypsum/pop mix.......i just laughed.

gbadexy:

good morning sir, I received email notification that you sent me an email but I don't use the email any longer.
you could contact me via whatsapp.

Iruosonobrugwhe:
Done. thanks for your prompt response

Dominionng:


It is charged per sqm. Volume, location and most importantly type of design are major factors in deciding rates per sqm. Don't let anyone deceive you that there is a fixed rate per sqm for POP ceiling.
There is what I call
Budget designs(image 1),
Average design(image 2) and
Luxury design(image 3)
In budget designs, one is expected to use a bag of POP cement for 2.8 - 3sqm, 2 - 2.5sqm for average designs and 1 - 1.5sqm for luxury designs. So, since materials involve and time to achieve these designs ain't same, it is expected for rates to vary. Talk of quality ceiling or POP Precast vs Plasterboard is a discussion for another day.
At the moment based on the present hike in POP materials, you can get a good ceiling from 4,000/sqm. Maybe a little lesser if your project is in the eastern part of the country(POP materials is cheaper in the east at the moment).
