Bodlade:
@Bebe2: 1.) You can ask your contractor what brand of steel he quoted for. Either imported or local, but by price I don't know of any of the imported is this high. Tell him to use the local as they are good as well and economical.

MY BROTHER, am going home to purchase my stuff myself.

tired of wasting money

beansandgarri:
The 3500 blocks will not be enough for the project. I intend to do this project in phases because of funds and time. This project is situated in calabar and I where I am based is 4 hours away from site.

If you are really in need you could call, come and check it out. You will speak to the owner yourself. I am not a professional agent like most people out there. A friend of mine just wants to sell his land, you will meet him yourself nothing is hidden. If you suspect foul play don't buy it. Nothing is hidden.

imagine if i havr to physically visit every land, e no possible na.

dats why i need the advertiser to atleast have an idea of the basic info.

wa ooo,

beautiful home,

i want to ask wat ur total cost was for the project, but i understand if u want to disclose.

olumide4christ:
[b]Well, firstly, I have to ask - have you negotiated and agreed the contract with him way back in time or you just finalized the contract with him now?
If you have agreed the contract with him at that price like last year or beyond and your contract is a fixed price contract, I'm afraid you can't change it even if the selling price of reinforcement has reduced. Also, bear in mind that selling price of reinforcement is different from unit rate of reinforcement (which I believe your contractor quoted); Unit rate = Selling price + labour + profit

However, if you have just negotiated the contract recently or are still negotiating, then your contractor needs to review his rate downwards.

In conclusion, this is one of the reasons why we try to educate people not to just deal directly with contractors/builders when carrying out their projects; from day 1, involve Quantity Surveyors who are experts in construction costs in your projects, in order to avoid being ripped off by some contractors and/or suppliers and/or relatives (in the case of Nigerians in diaspora who are building in Nigeria).

Only few people really understand this. Find out more about Quantity Surveyors and how they can help you save your hard-earned money in the thread below:
https://www.nairaland.com/2836058/talk-quantity-surveyors-construction-costs#41551670[/b]

the contract is only being negotiated now,

its cost that am running from with the qty surveyor. will he stay on sight?

he just gives u an estimate, it the builder thats the real problem.


surveyor can say 150 bags of cement , halfway thru the job builder says cement is finished, wat can u do? quarrel aor change builder but u will still need to pay for new cement.

Dieumerci:
I am not an agent but lands are available somewhere along Lagos-Badagry Exp Way about 15 minutes drive from LASU.

tnk u, i have a place in opic, agbara.

i want something on the island.

olumide4christ:
If I may ask, what kind of foundation are you doing for this block of flats?? Is it combined strip and pad or is it raft foundation?? If its raft foundation, be sure it will be at least twice or thrice that amount quoted.

I seriously doubt the authenticity and the viability of the quote mentioned above, N1 million for foundation for a block of flats?? Even the foundation for my bungalow and BQ in Abuja where labour costs and costs of aggregates (granite and sharp sand) are far cheaper than here in Lagos, cost more than N1 million.

The problem with some of these contractors is that they will give you an unrealistic quote which would look cheap to the unsuspecting client and when they start and get to a point when the funds can no more take them further, they come back to the client asking for more money and when the client declines, they abandon the project and leave the client to face the reality of how much the project REALLY costs.

BE WISE!

its not raft foundation, becos the land is really dry.

well, i think the price is quiet steep, when individuals build by themselves they use far less for foundation.

but wen u give it to a contractor, dats wen the price starts to go up.

looking at the quotation , what do u think is missing. its only to dpc and no filling.

muhamm3d:
not too far from chevron....

shebi u are the agent, describe it na, not too far doesnt mean anything here in this context,

pictures will also help,

am not just asking becos of boredom, i cud buy it am in need.

mufutau55:
None o, my sister. I am sorry I don't get involved in Land matter... too many kata-kata for me on that o.

Hajji M.

herdjerd:
3 Flats available......Call for inspection now!!!!!

one minute its 2 left, then its 3 left again.

mufutau55:
Yes, there are also imported rods, e.g. Pulkit from Ukraine. Some imported rods are from Turkey.

But please note that Local rods are equally good o.

Read this thread for prices: https://www.nairaland.com/601073/building-iron-rod-sale-25mm/11

Hajji M.

ok, tnk u

pls can u recommend an agent on this forum, that can help me secure a plot in lagos.

mufutau55:
1 ton of 16mm (Local) should not be around 90k
1 ton of 12mm (Local) should not be around 110/120k
30 tons of Granite should not be more than 120/130k

Also scan and ask people that sell same items here on Nairaland to compare.

Hajji M.

why did u say ''local'' are there imported rod?

mufutau55:
When you get quotations, always try to dissect it.. check above comments...

Hajji M.

so sorry for the errors, the autocorrect/complete on my fone can be crazy.

i meant sand, not sunday

not even sure of the tons of the granite.

he said 1 ton of 16mm rod 150k

am just being forced to do this project, wat i really want is to buy a land in a gud area and build it.

but am finding it difficult to get a place, agents here are all about propaganda no substance.
.
might have to go home next month which am dreading

With all the plenty agents advertising lands so no one is ready to do their homework.

Na wa oo,

The minute u try to ask plenty question dem go just abandon ur post

Is this a developed area?

How far is frm chevron ?

Which main rd did u say it's close to?

mufutau55:
You should always come here to verify the cost of materials you are quoted. You cannot trust any contractor.

Hajji M.

Definitely, d first 2 flats he built burning in my heart.

We are planing to make foundation for 6 flats of 2bed each, a storey building.

So upto dpc, he quoted

2000 9" block at #170 each=340k
3 trips of granite @ 30k each =90K
1 ton 16mm= 15k
150 bags of cement@1400
1 trip of sunday = 60k

Total= #885k

So plus workers he said 1million shud do it.

Not sure ifs reasonable or not, I just want to do somethin while exchange rate is still high.

Am tired of reportimg pornograpic pics on this forum.

Mod pls do ur jobs.

Credit card - Na them dey owe you... Debit card- Na you dey owe them... #shikina

befto:
Na contractor. He needs to chop as well too.

Chekitaut:
Yes as at that date but the price is 97,000 now.

So why is my contractor quoting #185k for a ton of 16mm??

Abi na me no dey hear well

amanikondo:
Mama bebe2 still dey build. Exchange rate don dey build macho like garri wey enter water.
I am sure you will milk this land dry oo . I can see rental shops at the front. Maximize the land so that you get good ROI.

yez ooo,

Only say I don't like that my area, really wanted something on the island but no better source to acquire the thing at the moment.

Chekitaut:
Iron rod at its best price ever

10mm=N90,000
12/16mm=N80,000

Delivery to site.
