No4: Super Structure (Block-works)

By super-structure we refer to all civil works above the German floor; this comprise majorly of block setting, lintel and columns.

From the design total numbers of blocks needed is calculated as:

9" Blocks = This particular design has 6" blocks used all round, however if what is preferred is 9", just multiple the factors by the price of 9" blocks as stated above.

6" Blocks (less openings) = 2000 blocks (including 10% waste)

* We'll work with the assumption that a bag of cement should set about 100 blocks.
hence: Cement needed should be approximately 20 bags

Its common practice to have your lintel tied round the external wall, while this is not equivalent to a beam (storey buildings) in bungalow it is not a bad ideal, If you're building a storey or more, I would not advice you do a lintel round the external walls because its total waste and it would never serve same purpose as a beam. Please take note.

For the purpose of this design, we would do a lintel on all external walls and the usual door, arc were required.

Volume of concrete = 1.98m3 = Approx 8 bags of cement. (If there is any place where columns should be used, it is at the terraces (entrances) and this should require an additional one bag).

Sand and Stone? Yes to sand (20 tonnes) but we should have enough granite on site to finish the project.

For the lintel its standard practice to have 4Y12 and 8mm rings at 200c/c; there are modern methods however that can save us some cash (we would not discuss those here, but you can ask to know later)

Reinforcement work: There is nothing special considering the building we're working on; see cost implication for summary thou.

Carpentry works: We need a carpenter to do the form-works to columns and lintel, that means we need woods too. (there are also methods we could use to reduce or almost eliminate this process, but conventionally we need to, we'll calculate for this work thou)

In recent years, house owners negotiate with the carpenter to provide the wood for the form works and they are charged appropriately, this is considered to be cheaper than buying your own wood, however the quality of work is by far better when new planks are used or brought by the house owner.

Whatever method you decide to use, ensure good wood is used, although you'll probably lose that power when you don't buy.

If you're buying, you could also buy half of the amount of planks needed - so you cast the first half, and use the same materials to cast the other half - labour charge might increase slightly if you don't have that bargaining power.

We'll work with a provisional sum of N50k for new woods needed in this section. (minus labour charge)


COST IMPLICATION:
Materials Needed:
* Blocks (6" = 2000pcs x N160 = N320,000
* Cement = 30 x N2350 = N70,500
* Reinforcement bars (12mm) = 25 x N1500 = N37,500 + Rings = N45,000 approx (we're spending this much because we decided to have our lintel round the structure; could be less if we choose to have it over openings only - with a slight increase in block-works thou)
* Sand: 20 Tonnes = N55,000
* Wood: N50,000 (provisional)


>> Labour: N120,000 (Bricklayer) personally, I'll pay less; its 6" block remember.
N10,000 (Iron Bender)
N20,000 (Carpenter)


GENERAL SUMMARY: (Using the highest options i.e If cost above says 30k-50k; we'll be using 50k for this section)

TOTAL MATERIAL COST: N540,500
TOTAL LABOUR COST: N150,000



No5: Roofing (Aluminum)

We'll continue from this week next week. Thanks.

nice work, please add the total to the post. the roofing and finishing part would be iinteresting.

but i thought gej have already started this payments? let me for the old thread.

[quote author=onatisi post=52155544][/quote]nice analysis but you ignored the effects of kwakwanso and atiku besides buhari has seriously sidelined many prominent northern politicians who're now bitterly outspoken against him.funny enough, you might not believe this but the north is more or less split 50/50 among Muslims and Christians, even borno state.

ddippset:
o so she's using all these? tomorrow u will not agree that Buhari was joking when he said she belonged to the kitchen. hypocrisy is worse than armed robbery.

even buhari is building a mansion right now.

onatisi:
Ibori na atiku man to the last breath.
The 2 Dons of naija politics ,if they team up with tinubu before 2019,then I must confess anything can happen

ask yourself why buhari,obasanjo,ngige and the rest of the apc are all over southeast? atiku has pocketed Peter obi,soludo and possibly tinubu,adding ibori to the setup would have serious effects, nnamdi kanu is the new bride, the geopolitics of Nigeria is been delimited.

any modest sized4~5 bedroom duplex would cost you approximately 15 million naira.

Earth2Metahuman:
the rebranding has started.

I'm not from Delta or care a bit about the man, he's an ex convict for goodness sake but on this particular case, he was setup and threads following the review of his case have made nairaland front-page.

lalasticlacla please move this to the front-page, injustice to one is injustice to all.

dubemnaija:
ike obosi is PDP and not APC

as an idemmilli man myself, i would be watching him closely, i expect him to have started his campaign vigorously by now, Willie have started with his phony and cosmetics projects while ngige have started by continuously threatening ndi anambra with apc federal might.

Dc4life:


I wonder the kind of reception the criminal will get once he arrives in his hometown. Paid youths rejoicing the chief robber has arrived?? With a welcome party organised by the state and federal government, or is he gonna be stoned and burnt to death on the streets of delta state. Fingers crossed.

he was released by a court order because he's conviction was a set up.it's illegal to call him a criminal now.

dubemnaija:
The time is now
Time for change
Time for new opportunities
Time to harness our potentials
It is Time to make the right decision
It is time for OSITA CHIDOKA 2017.

change in anambra?is he an apc candidate? sorry bro both Willie Willie and apc are bound to fail,we're waiting for a pro biafran activist like soludo.

the same God that broke the Biblical Israel into two kingdoms won't hesitate to do same to Nigeria.

that was before his wife started using 16million naira wristwatches,8million naira handbags and 1.2million naira top dress. did somebody say something about bleaching trousers wearing old women and their bleaching daughters.

God bless biafra.

stale news, what's the vp plan for the recession since he's the head of the economic team.

mjbaba:
For where

in enugu.unlike Lagos, you don't need a raft foundation and gravel is the norm in most parts of the se/ss.so how much do you think would be enough?

giles14:
see mumu,Ipob my foot .desam way massob use Igbos to make money.


develop south east first b4 u mention Biafra.

who want to live in a landlocked country

fake igbo spotted.

TrumpDonald2:
call now

does this vehicle have any fault i should know about? i expect full disclosure in good faith.

giles14:
I am.
but you don't just throw that away.

there is 99% chance we might turn out as south Sudan is given the right to secede.


if I may even ask you who and who will be in this Biafra.
instead of breaking away why not first develop d south east .we need roads electricity rail .

kill nepotism ,kidnapping ,cult in tertiary institutions, improve security etc.

we can attain Biafra without even leaving Nigeria.

what is still stoping the south east businessmen from using the onistha inland port.

you're making no sense, all these crimes you listed seems to occur more in other parts of the country nudging by the number of topics that makes nairaland front-page, America is the greatest country on earth yet it has the largest prison population on earth, and please onithsha inland river port is an abandoned project. you also vied off from the topic of the thread about the milittarisation of the south east and south south (operation crocodile smile, python dance, eagle etc) i have lived in the north for years and they have very scanty police and military presence despite the perennial security problems there

please, i am soliciting for offers for a pick up truck that is in a sound condition that would be used for construction purposes. if you have any in your stock, please list them here, thanks in advance for your corporation.

Sibrah:
Stop the barefaced lie. Iweala did it under OBJ and GEJ. I bet you don't know is a standard practice that's why you told the lie you just told . . .

you're deviating from the topic to start tackling iweala,it's standard practice to defend the national currency in order for it to trade within a fixed band.the current management approach is plain juju economics.

Excellent7:
Sir, It is not as you presume!
From my findings, If you send $100 to Nigeria at the moment through Western Union for instance the recipient is getting around 31,000 NGN to 37,500 NGN (that is around $1 to 310 rate).
If you subtract the cost of the transfer the actual pay out can be around 28,000 to 35,000 NGN (around $1 to 280 to 350 NGN effective rate).
Hence your friend, brother, sister, uncle etc. in the diaspora is unlikely to send you any funds this season as one looses money by sending funds through these government approved channels to Nigeria.
In this scenario, the circa. $20 USD yearly inbound Forex to Nigeria is threatened adding to an already bad Forex position.
Little wonder the FOREX rates are skewed against the Naira at this period when the reverse should have been the case with FOREX from "diasporans" visiting the homeland.
Concerning the rates, you do not have to take my word for it. Check by yourself on the links below:
http://onlinefx.westernunion.com/Currency-calculator
https://www.moneygram.com/wps/portal/moneygramonline/home/estimator?LC=en-GB

diaspora now resorts to unusual means to send money home while federal politicians make huge profits buying at official rate to sell at the parallel market.

Sibrah:
If money isn't needed to maintain forex rate then why did Iweala allow $20Bn/year to be "wasted" or "spended"?
You need to stop the blind defence of what you obviously don't understand.
Govt spent $217b between 2002 and 2014 [12 years period] in defending the Naira . . . Google it up as I am not chanced to dig it out right now.

iweala was defending it because of the approaching election and the fall in the price of petroleum was not thought of then to be persistent, in order words,it was a political decision not economic. i have laid out my points so if you still think that the dual exchange rate we have now is the best then good day to you.

macaphan007:
I salute Mr Henry Boyo very complete Economist in all aspect of both Macro and Micro,i've watched him speak so many times on TV,i would rate him above Bismark Rewane when it comes to tackling economic issues,i totally agree with him on the 2017 budget,my question is why is the overhead cost still high,when the Ministry of Finance claim it has plugged leakages and dealt with the issues of Ghost workers?aren't we suppose to be seeing a reduction,the Govt claim they included Pensions,were Pensioners not included in the 2016 budget too,were they paid?how many Pensioners are on the Govt payroll since a verification exercise was done in sept 2015 and continued in 2016.
The issue of the value of the Naira too is also a set back to the budget,in reality the value of the 2017 budget in terms of money is probably the same as that of 2014 if not less.
I think the Govt needs a proper alignment of both Fiscal and Monetary policies,and also make room for private sector participation in bringing the economy out of recession by engaging in PPP,Commercialization of viable Govt entities and Concessions,taking a loan now will be counter productive when we are still battling with corruption.

how many people on the federal executive council understands all these grammar you're blowing, bujari wants to collect his feeding allowance, osibanjo his library allowance, fashola award borehole project and lawal grass cutting contract. in order words, they want to share the money. even collecting a loan to sponsor N~power is a horrible economic decision.

buhari does not obey the principle of professional progression, for example, the current head of customs have never worked in the custom service while the head of dss is a retired officer. enjoy the change you voted for.

Sibrah:
Are you aware of the volume of dollar needed to float the Dollar (A.K.A. Defend the Naira)?
We spent $217Bn in 12 years on that. In Iweala's second stint as minister, it averaged $20Bn/Year. Where will Buhari or Adeosun get that from?

defending the defending the dollar and floating it at the same time is super stupid, like i said before, if floated the dollar won't sell more than #400 while Nigerians are already buying it at #490.you don't need money to manage the foreign exchange, you need policies and we both know that the current regime lack policies.

Sibrah:
And what's the right move according to you?

by floating the dollar completely as was been done by okonjo iweala.right now the official price of dollar is #305 while the parallel market price is #490,if the naira is to find it's true value, then it should be between the two figures above. if the naira is freely highest i believe it would settle is around #400.this would mean cheaper goods and more money for the government.

Sibrah:
$ shortage made the govt adopt 2 exchange rates in the first place.

which was the wrong move that got us into the mess we're in now.

all these apc attempts to infiltrate se/ss voters won't work without nnamdi kanu,he's the key.

Sibrah:
Let's not edify stupidity here. The topic clearly link the fall of Naira to continual Dollar shortage here. Is Buhari your Dollar machine?

a dullard that runs parallel exchange rate is the cause. iweala allowed the free market to operate.even emir sanusi blames buhari.
