Hello friends, I am embarking on a roofing project for a clients house located in Enugu. This house is a 4 bedroom well built bungalow with living room, kitchen, toilets and dining room. My client also wants the gate house roofed as well. The objective of this thread is to find out how much time and money it will cost to roof the house with woodwork, labour costs, step tiles aluminum sheets. This is how the house looks like at the moment.

The above quotes are for roofing framework for step tiles aluminum, (1 foot spacing). I called my carpenter and he said he will do the job with 170k for all the works. still comparing.

The first aluminum company I gave this measurements returned a quote of N1,252,400.00 including installation charges. I will collect another quote tomorrow from another aluminum company.

I know you are working very hard to roof this house from rain. It looks like rain is affecting the lower part of the

wall.   No experience in building just enjoying the picture  grin grin


Spydöö! Keep it up!

Good job spider.keep it up.
I expected you to have your estimate via the roof plan to enable you compare prices better and have a cost boundary.

Re: Roofing A 4 Bedroom Bungalow With Gatehouse (pictures) by spyder880(m): 1:54pm On Jun 14, 2011
Went out to the site with another carpenter and got the following quotes, Roofing alone, no ceiling estimates are contained here, except the woodwork for the ceiling outside the house.

3x4x12 35x650 =N22,750
2x4x18 100x750=N75,000
2x4x18  90x700 =N63,000
purling  250x300=N75,000
3'' NAILS  N5000
4'' NAILS N5000
5'' NAILS N5500

WORKMANSHIP N160,000.00

GRAND TOTAL N411,000.00

NOTE, I think that by the time I turn on the heat on this carpenter, the price will fall to N400,000 flat. I went to the timber market and priced the wood with him, and am sure he don't know this area to influence the timber merchants.

Thats what I did initially, but on getting to the site with the carpenter, there were many twists and curves in the building that it will be impossible to get a quote with a roof plan. The building itself should reveal the woodwork patterns more than a roof plan.
Most roof plans cannot show you what is beneath the roof, the wood requirements etc.
Another wrong move is to get a quote from an aluminum company before the roof is completed. Such quotes are for guidance purposes only as the actual measurement of the aluminum requirements could only be obtained after the carpenter is through. The actual height of the roof, roofing patterns will be clearly defined only after the carpenter is finished with his works, and that is when the actual quote could be calculated.

Lessons about roof estimates,

1. Never make assumptions based on a roof plan alone.
2. Check the prices from timber sellers yourself, don't trust the carpenter to give you a correct price
3. Negotiate prices with at least 4 carpenters before concluding.

I don't know what this man was thinking when he gave me the bolded price and qty?
The price for that material cannot just be 280? (I shopped around myself today)and to think he only needed 38 pcs?

Another problem is that he gave me the impression that he is calculating for the ceiling, today he told me he didn't include the ceiling woods or labour!

I am sure if you know the quantity of materials you need it will go a long way in cutting down the overall cost.
This is so because with the quantity of material known, all you have to do then will be getting the unit price and with some discount you have something to benefit then you can negotiate the labour rate if you cannot estimate that also.

Just ride on bro.
Re: Roofing A 4 Bedroom Bungalow With Gatehouse (pictures) by spyder880(m): 4:19pm On Jun 14, 2011
@ fidelo726, knowing quantities for all sizes of bungalows with 4 bedrooms will be a tough one o. I know the range of quantities to expect but it will never be exact. This thread is for educational purposes as well, so I allowed myself to flow witht their trend.
Re: Roofing A 4 Bedroom Bungalow With Gatehouse (pictures) by spyder880(m): 4:53pm On Jun 14, 2011
aluminum pressing machine, I paid a visit to an aluminum company and took a guided tour of their production hall, noting how rolls of aluminum sheets are pressed into roofing sheets, so simple.

This man called me yesterday night and agreed to do this work, main building, gatehouse for N150,000, I pretended the work is not important so I told him to call me back tomorrow. Negotiating tactics grin
Re: Roofing A 4 Bedroom Bungalow With Gatehouse (pictures) by spyder880(m): 12:25pm On Jun 15, 2011
I have got another two quotations for the roofing sheets need of this roof from other places and the quotes are lower than the first.

The first one is for only the main building N939.620.00
gate house N150,250.00
a total of N1,089,870.00

The second company calculated the whole things together and it came to a total of N965,904.00 for both the main house and gate house, step tiles, 0.45 gauge thickness, first aluminum sheets.
