Properties / Re: Is This Quotation For Roofing Ok? by ambrosedmax(m): 5:43pm On Sep 04, 2018
cry
ambrosedmax:
oga this is way too much, well your location matters, I stay in abuja, lugbe to be precised, and I sell woods for roofing, in this line of business carpenters are always out there to kill clients, I mean the merge with suppliers to sell goods below the official figure you were given, if you give ur carpenter that money to go get it, he may end up buying 15 facial-board, so on with the other sliced woods, even in your presence they will always have their tricks, then again, the kind/design of roofing matters again, the best advice is you look for a timber market around u, go without your carpenter, do a survey, everybody in the market will want to sell to you, making them crash prices against that of eachothers. By the time you get home with different list, I believe you'll have your choice to make. Then again, I wish to tell you that woods are of different qualities and types, there is a particular yellowish and black colour type of wood, the igbos call it "APKONTU" yorubas call it "AYIN" and hausa's call it "MEREKE" .. Oga this is the best wood is westafrica for roofing, long life span unlike some red woods.. Another ones which most carpenters buy because of it being cheaper and always easy for them to nail is red-wood and ordinary and common ones. Then for facial boards, obeche plank seems the best, then ora" before iroko... So whatever qualities you want must be your choice,
obeche for f.board = 1400
Ora for f.board =1300
Iroko for f.board = 1200
Then for the woods,
AYIN 2x4 = 400
Red wood 2X4= 350
Ayin 2x3 = 300
Red wood 2x3 = 250
Ayin 2x6 = 600
Red wood 2x6 =550
Then nails 5 inc 8,000
4 inc 8,700 .. Then your transportation is always negotiatable, I must all that your carpenter will always grumble if you decide to go and buy on your own, and may use words like, "this woods are bad" I should have gotten them myself bla bla". I also notice you didn't add 2x2 its always used for nogging for ceiling and pvcs, for those quantities quoted above, your carpenter will always reduce them when he goes to buy them. Trust me. Its too much. I stay in abuja and I've supplied as far as lagos, and environs. You also need to be careful with your site engineers " those guys too though. You call always call for any assistance- 08039351165
I gave my honest view here and I will like us to continue our discussions here https://www.nairaland.com/4714369/building-abuja-lets-discuss-woods

Under soft woods
We have
2 by 4
2 by 3
2 by 2
2by4 (soft wood) majority use them for running planks for decking.
2by3 (soft wood) are being used for running polline for your roofing work, but note that it won't be the just soft wood, but a quality soft wood(eg Malians) to be able to stand the test of time.
2by2 (soft wood) mostly used for noggin (same quality soft woods)
Please note that the uses of the above mentioned (2by2, 2by3) can still be hard woods. It depends on individual choices and the roofers.

Those are planks which are also sawn differently before sliced into sizes..
Planks are either sawn by a sawmill or by table (handsaw)
Sawmill planks are more durable and accurate when it's being used for concrete works(its major purpose), an advantage of sawmill is that they can be use over 3times when you have heavy constructions in your sites, unlike handsaw which will not be able to serve beyond its first use. It's basically use and throw away kind of material.

Wood and planks has been an important construction material since humans began building shelters, houses and boats. Nearly all boats and Houses were made out of wood until the late 19th century, and wood remains in common use today in building construction, In buildings made of other materials, wood will still be found as a supporting material, especially in roof construction, in interior doors and their frames, Wood(planks) is also commonly used as shuttering material to form the mold into which concrete is poured during reinforced concrete construction, examples are decking of a house, stairs, parapet and floors.

It is common to classify wood as either softwood or hardwood. The wood from Araba, arcwella (etc) called softwood, and the wood from redwoods (usually broad-leaved trees, (e.g. mereke) is called hardwood. These names are a bit misleading, as hardwoods are not necessarily hard, and softwoods are not necessarily soft.

I will stick with types of wood used for construction works and explain their uses.

Sometimes people mistake the way I talk for what I am thinking. I never had any formal education -- not even nursery school certificate. But, sometimes I know more than Ph.D.'s because as a military man I know how to act, I am a man of action."

beloase:
Hi guys I need help from experts in the house. I received the below estimates from a carpenter to roof my house, and I was thinking you guys could help me understand if these materials are not too and the workmanship too. The house 25700 by 9675.

Wood estimate 3/4=50pies =50*2200=110,000
2/4=170pies =1100*170=187,000
2/3=180pies=1000*180=180,000
2/2=260pies= 500*260=130,000
1/12= 50pies =1500*50=75,000
Nail= 3inch two bags, 4inch two bags 9000*4=36,000
Workmanship =120,000
Total =838,000.
I have a picture of the house below
50 1x12 might be too much for facial board, if you are within Abuja and around, our team would be willing to give you a free estimate.

You are correct though, and now you remind me of this https://www.nairaland.com/3212220/quotation-roofing-ok where some dudes will call themselves carpenters will want to take every little chance to kill clients..i did an honest check on the capenter's roofing quotation and believe me guys... It's just too much, Most importantly, I think if you can't be always present on your site, then you should at least always make someone be there for you. I've been really busy with roofing lately. grin grin Abuja and environs for now though.

We are in tears now, serious fire is taking over half of the building materials section of the market now... We can't for now say what brought about this. People are crying , millions lost. Fire service came late actually, I was opportuned to call them around 3:37pm when it started with a shop and they arrived here at exactly 4:06pm when most damages have occurred.. it's painful..
