In Accounting, there is what we call replacement cost..If the vendor decided to sell for 50 naira as you've advocated, abeg how is he going to get another one to his shop?

Hmmmm are we importing the raw materials too? And there is no much different between the price of diesel in December and February.. So what's causing this increase and the scaricity of the cement this very month..

Price of rice also gone up from 50k+ to 70k. What is the problem with this country?

Good evening all,

I have a 3 bedroom plan to be used in constructing a 3 bedroom bungalow.
Attached is the building plan and the bill of quantity submitted by the contractor I want to use.
The boq is estimated from scratch to levelling
I told him the blocks are too much and that the quantity for the iron rods , sand and granite are too much

Hi bosses,

Please I have a line of 3 units of 2bedroom flats under construction.I am about doing the plastering and flooring and the bricklayer requested for 102 bags of cement..my questions are as follows please;

1..Is the 102 bags not too much?

2.. considering that I am still going to tile the whole floor and the bathroom and kitchen walls,what's the effect on the number of bags of cement stated above?

3..How much should I budget for tiling (tiles and service charge)

4..how much should I budget for plumbing with the service charge.

5.The person monitoring the building advise I use sliding windows,is that not old fashioned.House is for rental purposes.

if the land is waterlogged then the iron is okay but for dense soil its way too much.

Start by milestones.....
You will have a better idea of what you really need later

saydfact:


Block is just 1300 to level without calculating, I don't think it's too much thou.

And the 9 inches for foundation too...
The quotation does not look excessive on block and labour fees, but cld be priced down.

My opinion without calculating to check.

The real problem of the quotation is the IRON....
what's he using 1 tonne for?

When you shd be talking of few lengths.

saydfact:


Ie 2 bedroom flat x3.

102 bags is about 35 bags per flat.... I don't think it's too much, except the 2 bedroom flats are not big ones (maybe if you share the floor plan).

For plumbing - MINUS THE FITTINGS, sink, WC ETC budget about 200k per flat for the pipe works up to Septic tank/soak away or just budget about 100k per flat if its just for the interior to allow plastering (again is a guess without seeing the floor plan and could be wrong).


Tiling can't be calculated without seeing the plan

Casement is always better EXCEPT WHEN COST IS AN ISSUE..... then sliding is acceptable.

Goodluck.

MDDarah84:


Thanks for this response bro.

Can you avail me your email so I can reach you please?

michlins:
this cement issue is all the evidence we need to know that local manufacturing is not the solution. Granted there are economic gains down the line like jobs, local dependency but the product becoming cheaper is definitely not one of them

folmus:


They should allow cement to be imported now. Abi
