My country people and elders in the building
Na my first time to build.... I kept bringing out money so tey i spent way above my budget just to get to lintel phase however please I need an advise for an estimate cost for the decking for a semi detached duplex (4 bedroom each duplex I.e 8 bedroom semi-detached duplex)

The site engr has estimated about #4,226,000 just for the rods (decking) while another engr on the side who is willing to handle has estimated #1,050,000

Brethren to say I am confused is an understatement

I decided to run here and perhaps get professional advice.
Please note that this is the cost for rod alone

Let me break it further how they arrived at the said amount

Site Engr;
70 lengths of 16mm rod @17,000 =#1,190,000
300 lengths of 12mm rod @9,400 =#2,820,000
50 lengths of 8mm rod-@3400 =#170,000
Binding wire = #45000
Total = #4,225,000

*Alternate Engr*

2) *ROD 16M² 25PIECES PER 1? N14,500× 25 = N350,000*

3) *ROD 12M² 60 PIECES PER 1? N9,200 × 60 = N552,000*

4) *ROD 8M² 30 PIECESB PER 1? N4,500 × 30 = N135,000*

6) *BANDING WIRE #20,000*

Total = N1,057,000

Please make una choke mouth for the matter

Go with your site engineer. Buy half of everything he requested for first and supervise the job. Run from the alternate engineer as fast as you can.

Ogbe-ijo is a restive community. I have not seen any other people with no history. How do you claim land in Warri-South when there is no single Ijaw village in the local government. The said land they’re talking about is owned by Agbassa community.

Edo People hate Tinubu, but we love APC candidate as Governor. Edo North and Edo Central will vote for APC massively . Edo South will be shared between APC and Labour party.

Lol!! Edo Central vote APC? Oshiomole was governor for eight years and he did nothing in Esan land. Edo Central knows the part to vote for. Obaseki brought development to Esan after Oshiomole neglected them. Edo North is big and it doesn’t end in Oshiomole’s village, so spare us that crap that they will vote the devilish party APC. APC na bad market for Edo

senatordave1:


The rigging will be done be the rec anugbom onuoha.

The would be rigger and you will be planked to death before you start the rigging. Kogi and Imo template won’t work in Edo. All APC paid rat go collect beating.

Isokiscool:
hahahaha.You are still depending on rigging abi?no worry na 2by2 plank you go receive on election day

If you plank am with 2by2 he will not fill the impact. You need to plank him with wallplate make e die. Those like him who plan to rig deserve to die for democracy to flourish.

Godons1:



In Edo, we hate Obaseki as much as we hate Tinubu. We no dey vote any party that is related to that failure called Obaseki. Our vote for the APC candidate is not a vote for Tinubu.

Mugu, na you realize Edo people hate APC? Your Candidate will loose come Election Day. It’s not rocket science that APC have got no stake in this governorship election. You lot are really wasting your time.
Like I said get ready to be beaten on Election Day if you and those your paid friends try rubbish.

Godons1:


Hahahahaha.
You are the man with over 20 Monikas on Nairaland. Na only you dey create hundreds of threads with different accounts and na only you dey comment put.

Obaseki and Asuen are failures and we no dey tolerate failures in Edo. I dey Benin like this. I am a grass root person for this state. All your multiple threads won't change anything

Weyrey, all Edo citizens knows APC is the party that came to destroy what others has done.
Save all your grassroot support rubbish for the main election because if you try to snatch ballot box you go collect. We go plank you die on the spot. No room for APC in Edo.

Godons1:


I dey Upper for Benin and I tell you this for free. That Asuen guy will come a distance 3rd behind the Labour party candidate. But APC will win the election.

You nor dey Benin. No sensible person will vote APC. Na only paid fool like you go vote them.
APC go carry last come Election Day. They should forget about rigging because all their paid supporters like you go collect on that day.

The writing of election results before the election is over will not work in Edo.

Odidigboigbo:
There was no parallel election, it was a single election but two different results from the returning officer and the chairman of the electoral committee. The question is who have the right to announce the result?

Anything Uzodimma put hand nor dey get head. The returning officer should answer the result.

garfield1:


Face delta state na.theres nothing stopping APC from winning edo

Weyrey, Na third APC go see come election. Na only mumu like you still dey carry APC for head. Na hunger go kill you this year.

APC will come third in the main election even if na Monday be their candidate.

@money121, what is the current price of 0.45 gauge long span aluminum sheet?

ebenope:
Don't use step tiles. Rather opt for straight long span aluminium.

Take this advice op. Step tiles aluminum is prone to leakages because of the design.

I have been doing project supervision for some years and I say it here that Engineers and Artisans make extra cash from procurement of materials aside their supervision fee and Labour cost.

Ghana is doing well against the dollar...

Joke of the century.....

for jols sake...one dollar is equal to 1228 South Korean won. Is South Korea worse than Ghana, or even Nigeria?

If we take your analogy too far, we would be saying that Nigerian economy and Ghana economy better pass South Korea (lol)

That's not how economics works. That a country has a currency that is 'stronk' does not mean it's economy is doing well.

P.S Add two zeros to anything in cedis...and you may get an idea.

Add four zeros to get the real Cedis rate.

proeast:
Lol, give them two 6 months Max and they will relocate to Ghana.

Investing in a sinking ship is foolishness

Cost of doing business in Ghana is higher than that of Nigeria.

successmatters:
This will never work in Nigeria because when the minister of aviation hears that palm oil is mostly found in the south east, they will kill the idea. We will wait till we find aviation fuel made from bitumen first

The highest producers of palm oil in Nigeria is Edo, Delta etc. Your stat is wrong about South East. Palm produce is mostly found in Edo and Delta not Southeast. Stop miseducating people on here.

This man operates in Benin and Warri. I entered his vehicle once at Effurun roundabout. The front passenger was telling him he has gold in his bag. I nor put mouth for their discussion, Na only them drop me.

double3:
Good morning, pls are watson brand of doors durable. I would appreciate a review from anyone who has purchased such doors, also American panel doors. Thanks.

On the average they are good. Get the black color Watson door and don’t buy old stock. I bought 38 Watson doors two weeks ago.

kk2027:


Life is not easy anywhere even in UK with GBP

1million naira is now about 12k Ghana Cedis

This government will favor me

How many Ghanaians get GHC12000 for their account? If you didn’t know something seek proper education. Ghana is the most expensive country in Africa to live in right now. The good thing you enjoy in Ghana is stable electricity and security. You can visit Ghana for one month and compare the cost of living with that of Nigeria. Every of your ignorance go clear!

kk2027:


One great thing about you is that after I corrected your first comment on this thread, you quickly Google and saw that naira is truly on the brink

But then, you must do your job, hence you changed direction of your argument

Las las you go explain tire

The value of Ghana currency is cosmetic. Life is very hard in Ghana when you compare it to Nigeria.

Alkanelly:
Please house, how strong is Watson/harmony steel door to be used for front entrance door for a rental unit....any thought will be appreciated

I bought Watson for a rental property. They’re installing the doors already.

double3:
Good evening guys, please ur opinion is needed on the cost of labor fo dressing per window and door ( on th average)...just received a quotation from my site engineer and its giving me headache!!!!. Bill was over 200k just for labor excluding materials

How many windows and doors?

erico2k2:

you sure its full 30tone?

Very complete sir.

MrOkenwa:

You paid 750k for the entire 6 units of 3 bedroom apartments? That'll be at the rate of 125k per apartment. Yeah?
It's NOT possible.

We just completed the plastering. Site is very close to Warri. I paid 570k for 30tons granite in June and you guys in Lagos, Ogun get it for 370k.

double3:

Very true bro, when taking on building projects,millions begin to sound and feel like kobo, when i got th quotation i thought it was a fair deal, but going forward I'll get quotations from 2 or 3 vendors before making a choice.

I don’t settle for one quotation. I get three to four quotation before settling for one.

double3:

Way too cheap...spent 1.3mill on labour for plastering (interior & exterior) a blocks of 3bedroom flat.(1 flat down stairs and another block upstairs.)
Though it's being handled by an engineer,so I guess his supervision fee is included in that bill.

Outrageous. I got bill of 1.3, 1.1 and 750k. Settled for the guy with 750k and he did a good job. To build house right now get as e be.

double3:

Did u just say u plastered 6 flats of 3bedroom( 3 flats down stairs and 3 upstairs) for 750k labour charge?

Is it too cheap or expensive?

nurd:
Pros in the house. I got this quotation for a 3 bedroom ensuite (with a visitors room). Rooms around 12 x12. Is it fair?

Quotation for internal plastering
✓Cements= 50 bags,
✓Sands =3 loads,
✓Workmanship for internal plastering=#220,000.

Workmanship is expensive for just the internal plastering. Always get three quotation for any job. I just did plastering for six flat, three down and three up for 750k for external and internal plastering excluding decking, bathrooms wall and kitchen walls.

If somehow and others wants their money from Bosun it won’t be a difficult task. It’s pretty easy to track him. Benin boys from Upper will do a clean job.
