Let me help u, what is the size of decking? i will give you new marine board full sheet @ half price then take away after use. No cutting, 4nails on each board. you get wood 4 beam from 1x12 you buy.

Wood is difficult in market now. i doubt if u will see only if you hv a construction site near you, Carpenter will delay service if he is to bring wood & you will hv to buy damper proof to get good result.

You will need 62 flat sheet of marine board.

Size is 6.5metres wife and length is 29metres. That's 190sqm approximately

mufutau55:
You need to compare the price option... if thevrented wood is much cheaper then go for it. I have used rented wood for my decking before and I saved plenty money... after decking the only time you may need some woods is during lintel, and that should not much. So on purchasing, you will have much unused planks laying everywhere. So do the price comparison.

Hajji M.

Thank you so much.

That's my line of thought. They gave me an outrageous bill of N550,000 for planks only for decking 29m* 6.5m floor slab. This exclude Carpenter's labour, iron bender, engineer's supervision cost, plumbing, and electricals in the decking. Hence, the bill for only decking, excluding Cement, reinforcement, sand and granite came to N1.5m.

I told them, I will never spend N550,000 on planks that cant be used for kitchen cabinet or doors. Never.

I will rather rent all for between 50,000 to 100,000 than waste almost 600k.

Please how much is a ton of 12mm steel

I bought 2 tons on Monday and it cost N210,000 each, including delivery to site

Site is close to Owode Onirin

Good morning all.

I'm asking if one can get planks to rent/hire for decking and upper floor columns, in view of the fact that buying planks that would not be useful later would only add to expenses?

Will appreciate assistance and response

remedick:
Thanks for the reply. Any date in sight for the call off?

Till ending of June, hopefully, since air interstate would likely return in June

Lagos without God will soon crumble

I see.

Who told you there's no God in Lagos?

remedick:
what about interstate travels, has that been called off?

No

Mariangeles:
This is not right at all.
If they could, they would never allow religious gathering again!

The economic significance of this is what?

RockOfAgesAlumi:
Casement window with burglary, tower and thick the two are there

Ok great.

Will get in touch for full quotation

RockOfAgesAlumi:
4ftx4ft=42k now, casement window with buglery, Tower materials, before it was 39k-40k

4ftx4ft=33k now, Thick materials, before it was 30k
Is because of covid 19 that inflate the price of things now
Thanks

Thanks.

Look at this.

What type can you see?

Some are smaller and I presume they would be cheaper. Also, have you quoted for casement windows or sliding window?

This is what

RockOfAgesAlumi:
The two is ok it's depends on your choice but as for me i prefer with buglary is very strong and is not easy for armed robber to buged in, it's beautifies the window than the separate welders own

Whats the cost in the average?

I have about 22 windows I need to get done

Donoppy:
Hello everyone , I am embarking on a project which is a stormy building, a 2unit of 2 bedroom flat up and 2unit of 2 bedroom flat down
And below is the picture of the quotation I got from the builder for just labour charges to the German floor level.
Please I need your advice on how I can negotiate this.

It's too much.

Renegotiate.

I'm paying ₦120k for Ground Slab(German floor casting) and my building is 29mx6.5m on the ground floor.

I can see he is charging you ₦380k for Ground Slab casting

gordonbarrett:
Flat roof (low pitch roof) is much more affordable. You would save a lot of cash from wood and the roofing sheet. It is also very durable, just like any roof type the is properly done. You can enhance the beauty by using fibercement fascia and soffit. My project is at roof level, and that's the option am going for.

Here's what was designed for me and I really love the mono pitch

gordonbarrett:
Looks like asbestos, but it is made of cement reinforced with fiber. It has different thickness but 6mm can conveniently serve. A Nigerite 1.2m x 2.4m board sells for around #7500. Attached picture was what convinced me.

You mean those white facials are Nigerite and that cheap?

So guys how did you feel after getting your first child? Share your experience, it can be a feeling of nostalgia, fear, joy. . .

Some can be of indifference so share your experience.

excited of course

diordaves:
What is the difference between one bedroom flat and self contain apartment?

1. One bedroom flat is what local agents and many Nigerians call 'Room & Parlour' self contain or mini flat. But ideally it means an apartment that has within in a living room, a bedroom, a kitchen and toilet

2. Self contain: is what they call 'Room self'. It means a Single room with just kitchen and toilet therein, no living room.

struguru:
120" is about 37m
60" is about 18m

Perimeter of building = 2 x (37+18) = 110m
Subtract the portion occupied by the gate (Assume a single 3m wide gate)
New perimeter = 107m

Assuming you need 3 layers of block below ground (0.25x3=0.75m) and 2 meters above ground, that will be a total height of 2.75m height of block wall. Therefore, area of fencing = 107m x 2.75m = 294.25 sq.m.

A single block is approx 0.45m x 0.25m = 0.1125sq.m

Thus, number of blocks needed = 294.25/0.1125 = 2616 blocks.
You can add 10% to that for blocks that may break during the purchase and any other contingencies. So 2800 blocks is a fair estimate.

The foundation of the blocks is also important. You will need at least (300 x 0.15 x 0. 675 =) 31cu.m of mass concrete for that.

Hope this helps.

Nice one

Grand master.

If this guy has the support of Bola Tinubu, He goes nowhere.

Not the NPF, EFCC, SFU, CIID or ICPC can touch him.

This is the same man leading the probe against Ambode.

They knew both Fashola And Ambode refused to be puppets, hence, they sacked Ambode a d brought in a puppet they can control.

I dare Speaker Mudasiru Obasa to sue Sahara Reporters for defamation, if he would not go to jail

Block at Substructure level? DEAL

Goodluck Bro.. Pls remind me late tomorrow.
BTW. Is it 2 diff building or one?

It's same building.

Ground floor and first floor.

Just sent both for clearer dimensions

This is good.

Some weeks ago, the Health Minister said it cost ₦10,000 to carryout a test for COVID-19 in Nigeria.

Yesterday 21/5/2020 the commissioner for Health in Lagos State, Prof Akin Abayomi said test cost the Lagos State government between ₦40,000 to ₦50,000 meaning for the 16,000 test they claimed has been carried out cost them ₦800,000,000. This leaves many wondering how much the state would claim it cost to treat and feed those at the isolation centres.

If Care's not taken, COVID-19 may even cost close to 10% of annual budget in Lagos, if almost ₦1 billion has been expended on testing alone this far.

It is well with Nigeria and Lagos State under those in charge

saydfact:
Hi,

YOU'RE DEALING WITH THE WRONG GUY..... the prices of most items except the nail has been inflated, some are doubled - no doubt the quantity of materials too...

NO Goodluck here - get another quote then we can discuss

Chief.

Like how many blocks should I buy for the sub structure (above foundation) based on this drawing attached?

I hope you'll wish me good luck with this

Chief saydfact reminder

saydfact:
you can even get the lower than that grade sold at about 24k..... you don't need the expensive one actually.

Goodluck

Thanks for this.

Would do as you've suggested.

₦240,000 vs ₦450,000 will save one over ₦200,000

BEYOND IMAGINATION.

To Ogudu, How much is 20 tons of filling sand?

I need between 10 and 12 trips of 20 tons

saydfact:
Perfectly right.. regards

Thanks for your response.

The sand dealer said there are about 3 different sand they use as filling.

The one we used for casting is sold at over ₦40,000 for 20 tons.

She said we don't need that expensive grade for filling, but we can get one around ₦30,000 to fill ahead of ground slab (German floor)

What's your take and what would you recommend?

1st diaspora client from nairaland to patronize us on BIODIGESTER, actually I don’t know the client username here, but we really appreciate your patronage.
We did this for a farm house somewhere in Epe local govt Lagos.

Thanks for your patronage.

Can you give here in this platform a guide to your charges?

I have a construction comprising a semi detached 5 bedroom house at the frontal part and a rear 1 bedroom apartment on ground and first floor.

What would you recommend and the cost idea?

Dennis3D:
12 - 17% of the total cost.

When doing valuation, we make provision for 12.5% as professional fee.

This fee is not only for the architect/builder, but for all professionals involved in the project

saydfact:
N159,375:00k as calculated.... no ask me how I calculate am oohhh.....

Goodluck

Hello.

An Engineer suggested that Sharp sand as filling before Slab(German floor) is better than using laterite sand in water logged area like Ogudu.

What do you think?
