Where is your location? I know you can work anywhere but where are you based?

How much do you charge per block for block setting?

My location is ikorodu Lagos.
It depends on the site location, logistics to site but majorly both masonry and labour we do #60 per block

The quote is fair enough but tell him to change all the 3x3 and 3x6 boxes to original dignity plastic box instead of galvanized. the price quoted is for plastic and not galvanise.

Also, what do you mean by half conduit??
Does it mean that some cables would be expose in the ceiling?

Just tell him to use plastic box as against the galvanise type

Do you plan to expose the single core cable in the ceiling?

the prices are ok, but the list doesn't appear complete, when you say internal plumbing, you know it deals with laying of inside the wall.
if you will later do surface piping outside the walls of the house i.e. everything isn't conduit piping, it means you might need to add little material to the proposed items because I can't see or there are little of the following

2 inches piping ( for flood drain, kitchen sink, washing hand basin etc also bathtub if you are going to fix)
4 inches pipe for the toilet

another question is it hot and cold water system piping?

if there isn't going to be any surface piping, it means you need to buy more stuff.

If you are in a dilemma on the cost of constructing Roof Parapet for your building, or your building is located on a loose soil, I will advise you to go for Polystyrene roof parapet due to the following reasons.

It is Light in weight
It is faster and easy to install.
It is Neater than most parapet as it has been formed using a machine.

Both 6" and 9"?

Both 6" and 9" at ground level, but higher up, 9" hollow is N70. 6" hollow can be negotiated at N60 still. But they will be telling you that after the work you should 'bless' them.

He is doing conduit piping after which we plaster then the plumber continue s with laying of external pipe to soak away. The sink n other assessories will be the finishing stage.

the quotation doesn't cover all of that.
at least there is supposed to be 2inches pipe and 4inches pipe
for modern house I will advise you do conduits piping it gives beauty to the house

external piping is different.
