Bogije, Lagos: 120k for drilling with pump, installation and profit grin

It’s also called Borehole.

_____

I did a couple of borehole around Ibeju Lekki - Eleko axis between 120 - 140k this year while I drilled a borehole in 2013 with 500k and we got no water

I did shallow borehole in Lekki for less that amount sef. So different terrain for different reasons for the varying cost.

Always refer to geological survey, if you doubt the competency of your borehole driller.

In the case of Enugu. The geological survey has it at 200 - 210meters that we will see water.

And guess what, we saw water at exactly 200m.

The whole details is on the thread.

Lolall:
Builders in the house please weigh in.

At the start of my project my builder billed me for 215 bags of cement. I assumed this would cover the entire project (putting up a 3 bed flat that the foundation had already been laid and adding a room to the bq already at the back of the property).

However we've gotten to the tiling and now he's saying I need to pay 250k extra for cement, sand, etc to tile the new apartment. (According to him the tiling for the bq was included in the 215 bags).

Please is this accurate or is he trying to pull a fast one here?

Thanks.
Is your fault sir...
The mistake you did was that you didn't have a eye on sight to monitor the use of cement....
or better still you should have buy the cement yourself, store it.. and give the man in batches has the work continues....
These are common mistake builders make when they underquote to get jobs...

Solution.. is to buy the 250k next batch cement yourself and monitor strictly before he comes back again that you need to buy more again....

My 2cent..

Borehole service prices differs from location to location...
With my personal experience on borehole wahala on this trend... I would advice any client that want to drill borehole to make use of the Indian rig drillers....
The go to any length you want them to go to.. and their charges is base on the depth you willing to go.. or the depth given during priliminary investigation by a geotechnical engineer..

It will interest you to know that they drill at a flare rate of 8k to 10k per meter... ( price including Casing Pipe)
Another advantage is that they finish all the drilling in less than 2 to 3 hours...
Another advantage is that they don't care the kind of material under the ground( Stone, coal, hard rock).. They break through all at the same rate above...

The only problem I see with then is that they don't do less than 30meter drilling base on logistics reasoning.... But any thing above 30meters ( 100feets)....they are very readily to come to your site...

I did 40meters for site and paid 350k... they finished it on 1 hour...

the same bore site I was charged same 350k.. and took forever for them to drill here on thread... God purnish devil...

Your second to the last paragraph looks somehow( let me just put it that simple way)
You don’t need to generalize like that “ BUILDERS”
Do we even know if the OP truly gave the work to builder.
Where is the evidence.

I believed the client says “ HE ASSUMED” how can a client assumed such in a construction
Are you saying you don’t have written agreement/ well understandable quotation for the project?
This story has knock leg
Don’t just let conclude on a matter quickly like that always and try to bring down a professional that way.
It’s unprofessional to me oo
Sorry for this but I just need to say it
I come in peace

I made the same initial observation.

It would be a great shame if he indeed was passing those internet pictures off as his own executed works. There was a lot of interest and goodwill, at least on my part.

I hate it when this happens.

Anyway, I'll join my apology to yours if that's not the case.

There is no where he claimed those were his works and I don't think that was his intention. He was only showing random pictures of designs he is fascinated about. Why all the insinuation?

Very true, he didnt claim those was done by him but he said it was done for a Nairalander. The arguement was about the origin of the picture he posted. It has too many red flags, except if it was done in the �� for a �� resident nairalander.

He didn’t say the pictures were taken in Nigeria
He didn’t say he has done any of the designs in Nigeria
I do not even believe he intended that anyone would assume so.

I did this myself though. If you’re handy, I can give you all the resource needed to replicate this (human resource and sources).

I only engage an installer to assemble the ready-made designs.

Cost: 450k

Isnt 450k on the high side?

____________

I have another one on ground I’m using for my personal project. Replicating pic 2 below

I felt same way too until I did it myself.

Size: W5100mm x H2400mm x D380mm

Here are the inevitable constants on this small project:

- 10 sheets of plywood (sawing and machine edge banding cost inclusive)
- 350 yards of tape (I didn’t do manual taping)
- 1 gallon of evostic gum
- 12m rope light and choke
- 2 pcs of hydraulic hinges (soft close)
- 2 pcs silent drawer runner (metal ball bearing)
- 3m metallic aluminum profile door pull cabinet handle
- polyurethane foam gum
- super glue (we did quite a number)
- screws and accessories
- french cleat materials (for the floating shelf)


- transportation and logistics
- installation and assembly

** Cost excludes wall reinforcement
