Abeg, make una help me answer this question which i have also posted in 'https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-689147.448.html'

@spyder880 et al. Sorry for bringing this thread back to life. Was inspired to use bush green step tiles aluminum roofing sheets for my villa duplex. I got a quote of N1,098,148 broken down as follows:

(1) step tiles: 398m @N1,646 = N655,108
(2) cladding sheets: 40 @N1,646 = N64,840
(3) ceiling sheets: 50 @N1,470 = N74,000
(4) Falshings (various items) 90m @N1,480 = N133,200
(5) accessories = N30,000
(6) transport= N40,000
(7) installation = N100,000
Total = N1,098,148

I got another quote of about N872,000. This quote has labour as N75,000. The curious thing is this person gave step tiles as 326m. One more quote of N1,122,000 has step tiles 400m.

Iam trying to get 2 more quotes because of the disparity in the step tiles.

What do you guys think. Abeg, make una help me out as time is not on my side.

@NL1960, all you require is understanding of simple geometry. Most of the so-called roofers give estimates based on assumption.

I really don't have time to go into details now but what I used to roof my house will be shocking to many people on Nairaland.

One thing I want you to know is that professional roofers in the aluminium company charges N5,000 per day. Except your house is triple the size of mine, your accessories shouldn't cost more than N15k.

The cost of roofing the section of the building shown in the picture plus wall cladding is less than N250k plus installation, accessories, transport, flashing, ridges, eave angles etc.
Note: the cost is for the back section alone


The initial quote I got is almost N2m for the woodwork and roofing of the whole house. But what I eventually spent is a little less than N1.1m

@NL1960, where are you buying from? Lagos or where?

The cost of your roofing sheet per sqm is almost 1.5 more than the price I got it in Lagos. And my ridges, flashing are special made - not like the ones you see around.

1050 per sqm. Make una no tell anybody o!

Quoted Price from the company supplied my roofing sheets.

0.35 (N770 - N800)
0.45 (N950)
0.55 (N1,050)

My installer charges N5k per day and he's from ____City (the company that roof Shoprite). The company that supplies the materials is opposite Mangoro Bus Stop, Lagos.

@Eros, what are you using tons of iron rod for when you are not building a duplex. I really don't know. Iron rods should be cheaper in Iwo road but I can't say how much they'll sell but definitely not N150k. It should be lesser than N135k. I've never bought 16mm more than 2,400 in the last 2 years.

steo:

@Eros,

I am currently buying a length of 16mm for N2,400, 12mm N1,400 and 10mm N1,100 around. The last time I bought in tons for my decking (July 11), 16 & 12mm was N126,000 and 10mm N110,000.

Hope that helps

spyder,
i saw your pot looking pillar and i am concerned about the alignment. To me the initial thing the sculpture tech could have done is to build the base first, then rest the pot on top of the base before going up to ensure stability and proper alignment. however, i wish you well.

I was thinking exactly the same! Some kind of base like those used for the first pillars/pictures could be of use Instead of just sitting the round pot pillar on the ground.

As a matter of fact I think I saw a picture like that! Keep up the good work body.
