How much per plot?

rotecch77:
Chekii.. re read the OP message very well, digging, blinding all INCLUSIVE, no separation.
Only that 2 sides of the land has been done before.

re-read my response.

Adedward:
hello l don't understand u sir, or ma. Pls explain very well, on what they want to collect 150,k for,

The Op ask for block setting, let us not compound issues. blinding is a concrete work, digging we have labour that specialized on it. Haba

rotecch77:
If you check very well 150k is not too much (140-150 is a fair price) If you go by counting N50 *2000=100,000 Nature of the ground determines digging let say 25k Blinding 6 labourx3000=18k Builder suppervion ? Total without builder charges 138k

Block setting is not include blinding or whatever.

shelliz:
Good evening house. Please i need your opinions. Is 150k too small to set about 2050 blocks for fencing (digging of the back side inclusive because the both sides have been dugged and fenced with few coaches of block already). The Land is a 100ftby100. Intially the builder agreed for 2000 block but refused when he learn't that the moulder molded 2050. The painful part is that, he was supposed to commence tomorrow morning but didn't give me his reply until this evening when i called him. Your opinions please.

its N50/block setting.

americanson:
Please o, our American based brothers, I want to ask something.

I do see some American houses using wood for flooring and walling in some section of their house and I know these are durable woods...

My question is, do we have this kind of woods in Nigeria?

No, they are process wood but we do not have equipment to do that in Nigeria.

We are setting up an body that will be working with intelligent report on Phone tracking, if you are a good qualified Phone tracker kindly call or mail me

Thanks

You do not operate in Nigeria...

EllyKing:
Hi.
Please which bank sells at that rate?

Raise your Form M to get the rate from Banks

Newboss:
You mean if I give you 12m today, you will build exactly what is there and deliver the keys in 60 days?

12m will get you only carcass, depending on soil test.

princekool4ya:
Right... So with that, how much more do you think will complete the rest of it? I am looking to tile all floors and pillars (exterior and Interior). Aluminum slide windows etc.

Another N20m for finishing or less

princekool4ya:
I guess I will have to find a reputable one. I am looking to start with N20 Million and see how far it goes shaaa.

I hope you understand what carcass means?
Foundation
All block setting
Deckings
Roofing.
excluding Plastering, window, wears, tiling etc

princekool4ya:

Yes Quantity Surveyor

princekool4ya:
Ok, so how much do you think it'll cost to complete?

You need the services of a QS.

princekool4ya:

You need thecservices of a QS.

N20m can only achieve carcass of this building,, 2deckings, Foundation alone is close to 4m depending on type of soil.

Empiree:

SW(ogun)

What Ogun? That have the cheapest building materials in Nigeria... Givie the guy red card... na barawo bansa.

Dominionng:
For the POP, can't condemn the rate since the designs agreed are not attached. But for standard modern designs like the ones on these thread https://www.nairaland.com/4772973/nairalanders-pop-ceiling-project-anambra, we can do N3,500/sqm for that volume.

The doyen of creativity as spoken.

Empiree:
Experienced homebuilders should say something on this. Are these prices fair for the square meters indicated?

What is going on here, pls explain.

gabbytabby:
I already shared up to carcass and have updated the projection to finish save for the last bits.

What I try to do when I finish a project is do a stock take on what I would do differently. The benefit of hindsight. If I felt an artisan was too expensive or stole too much, was too slow and would cause significant delays or colluded with another to stress the project etc I would tactfully deal with this.

I reduced my use of local artisan to reduce pilferage. I had only school holidays to do the project which meant every task came with time scale. Cos of space and pilferage issues I only bought supplies as needed and they were on and bolted often times within 24 hours. For example, the blockwork for the top floor was completed in 4 days with day 1 being used by my bricklayer to set the first block and agree spacing in relative calm and day 2 to 4 a total of 6 bricklayers and 6 labour arrived to complete block work with an agreed rate per block and me armed with info from previous day's work on number of blocks and I shared this with them on arrival.

Those major conditions that came into play have an associated cost and I will try to estimate what those are. I will try and work on completing my spreadsheet and share.

Timing, supervision and making my artisan happy to come to work probably helped too cos from July to September I got a helper to cook for all workers on site.

Ma, you always a mind blowing individual... Builder with wisdom. Nice budget

This risk associated with transport business is just crazy. nobody should listen to this guy, i have first hand experience in trucking, uber and keke napep. These are businesses that depends on the loyalty and sincerity f your partner. The guy will tell you he us sincere, they all do, trust me, its more regrets than joy. I have been growing my money gradually with money market and tbills for over a year now.

Understandable, when you deal with illiterates & Drivers that have come to beg using you as a prey, we have our legal corner that handle customer fund security, all document handed over to you until contract is fulfilled.

Yeah i see this quite a lot but wonder what's the basis. is supervision in itself not a labour charge? if so, why can't supervision be charged as a % of materials only.

I wouln't even agree to this method anyways. Supervision/professional fees, just like labor, should be charged based on work scope and not material.

You guys might actually be shortchanging yourself. If the client decides to purchase materials himself and gets it cheaper than your quote and you charge your fees as a % of materials, then you make less money than what you anticipated if you had purchased the material.

Yes possible you get your materials more cheaper at least there is figure, even if you get it for free market wholesale price will be used to calculate the %, remember all engineers are employer of labour, their certificate etc. i mostly advice you get your materials yourself because some dubious, greefy, selfish engineer will do permutation wt supplier there by ripping you off your hard earning money. also have a good bargaining power. you can provide your skilled labour no problem. Engineer authentic your structure they are who government know not the property owner.

Alkanelly:
Hello Engineers and contractors,
please can someone tell me how much should an engineer/architect charge for supervising my building project. my engineer is asking for 300k to supervise from ground floor block setting to first floor slab (slab included). he charged me 300k from foundation to german floor which i think was even too much. please what's the best charge for the next phase in your honest opinion.

Its 10% on Materials & Labour cost... any charges less is your power to bargain or sympathy from the Engineer.
