I tell you. I made sure they didn't see my money not to talk of stealing it coz I have other things to do with my hard earned money

[/quote][quote author=joycluv post=95535313] Bros, shine your eyes for these aluminium guys in this country. "Flashing 54m, Cladding 62 units totalling 194,880. Hummn! This is where they kill and bury people alive. Am speaking from experience. They will collect such huge amount from you, then buy few Square meters and bend the required units and then pocket your hard earned money before your very eyes without you knowing what has happened. And as for the main roof, I can bet you it may not even be up to 280sqm. Am speaking from experience.

Hello all,
I am at the roofing level of my block of 6 flats of 3 bedrooms in the eastern part of Nigeria and would love to get a second opinion from the pros in the house about cost for planking/roof covering. My project manager said the area of the roof is 600 meters and flashers 124 meters. The king post is going to be 12 feet and I am considering using the Aluminium 0.55mm long span covering. Plot is 510m sg and developed area is 204m sg. Can the pros please advise me of how many rafters, 2*2*12 (hard and soft), facia board and covering that is needed for this project. I was quoted Rafter x18-440 pcs, Rafter x 12 200 pcs, 2*2*12 (hard) 350 pcs, 2*2*12 (soft) 450 pcs, facia board 30. Construction is not my forte, so please help a brother.

joycluv:
Let me tell you one secret, if you contract the roofing job to the "engineers/or whatever name they are called", they will be buying the wood batch by batch until the work is completed. They don't buy them once because they would not want it to remain. But when its you buying, they would force you to go and pack the whole timber market and drop for them. Then they will be wasting it any how.

Akinbaba:
Hello Bros well done. Please can you give a rough estimate of how much you have spent till day on this project.

Joshcoli:
May God help the economy of this country. Price of materials has trippled. How can tg average Nigeria build at this time

Joshcoli:
