4M for decking alone. This is a rip off. I wonder why u guys quote this outrageous prices. This decking can't eat more than 2.5M if spending is done judiciously. That's 2.5M is if the length and width of the house is big.

Na only u dey build house. Haba

Lol

And someone wanted to sell f24pcs for 2500 for me but i do not need it so I didn’t bother to press on cos that’s not the next stage in my project.

Country hard!

Hello house do anyone knows how I can get rough sharp and how much is it now?

Can someone build a contemporary four bedroom bungalow. The land already has a four bedroom flat foundation on it

neduboo:


We are pushing boss. Thanks for asking. How about yours?

Pushing it too. Starting filling soon

neduboo:


If it's a dry land, 1.5 million can do the foundation but if it's a swamp area that involving a pile foundation, u will spend up to 2 million for foundation excluding filling and German floor.

Good luck to you on ur project

How is ur project going sir

EgunMogaji2:


So we’re unable to carve out the specifics that you want from our data.

The foundation to German floor was N750K as best as I could calculate for everything labor and materials.

Good luck on your project.

Thank you sir

EgunMogaji2:


Any local bricklayer can do good work IF they are properly monitored and compensated.

All the fancy work that we salivate on here from the big guys are ultimately completed by Baba Latis.

Monitoring and compensation is the key.

I agree with you sir. Used baba Kati for my project and it turns out great

EgunMogaji2:


I’ll have my partner check the records.

Thank you sir.. I really appreciate. I will be expecting

EgunMogaji2:

God bless you sir

Amen and u too

Greenarrow01:

.thank you sir

Met someone in the container dept today. He said it depends on what is inside the container and clearing is 5% of the total worth. I think u need to go to the port cos all this clearing agents are funny o. Which shipping company is he using and which line?

Greenarrow01:



Good evening sir. Pls what is the average cost of shipping a 20ft container from Guangzhou China
Electronics and what do you think will be average cost of clearing at port.
These machines are electric machines...
Thank you sir

Will make the enquiry for you from our container dept. They will knw much better.

davodyguy:


Baba, under this government and Coro inclusive, people are just staying afloat and no one want to take risk.

I just spoke with the Customs officer handling the container where all my house's DBs, switches and lights are kept. He said the Shipping companies are asking for N5,000,000 each in order to release the containers before they can truck them out of Apapa to destination of Pick up.

My agent is asking me to plead with all those who's goods are trapped that we should support him in order to clear our goods. This support is in adding to what we already paid him for clearing oo. At the end of the day, why didn't I buy these things in Nigeria? I felt for a man who's goods is also trapped along mine. He said since March, 2020 he has been on it with the Agent. He has lost almost everything. Some people they have doors, some furniture in same container. My own items are still small naa. I feel for those business men among us

I am just tired of this country.

My tiles issue with that chap is still there unresolved since December. The guy's claiming he;s not back in Lagos yet and he wants to bury his father, so i should wait till end of January, 2021


You just gets frustrated in this Nigeria and feel like just relocating

Which shipping companies are asking for 5m each for the release of container? Cos i work in ptml tincan island.

Well I will just summarise it for you. My advice to you and any one doing any building project is to never be ashamed or shy to price down the cost of a material to your favour especially when you feel the price is way too high. My foundation is a 3 bedroom flat at the front and a room and parlour self con at the back.

Even the people I buy building materials have known me for always dragging prices with them and jokingly call me "alaroro customer or ijebu man" even though I'm igbo. Well I can't blame them, I no get much and my project na just the grace of God and na Kobo Kobo.

This is the prices I bought my materials and the amount i paid for workmanship. Bear it in my mind that I'm building in a waterlogged or swap area so my foundation has to be piled and a basement has to be constructed before the raft so that my house doesn't sink.

All this estimate was done within the month of December 2020 to present. For the piling, 20 piles were done. Initially those doing the piling charge me #3000 per piling though it could be more than than but as they saw say I no too get, them gave me that price. Even at that I priced the piling to #2500 per pile. That is. #2500 times 20 piles.

For the material used. I bought 2 small tipper of concrete for #40000 each per trip, 2 small tipper of sharpsand for #17500 each per trip. As advised by someone in the forum, I bought 30 10mm, 30 12mm and 10 16mm rods. But I will suggest to those who will do their project to instead used only 12mm rod and 8mm rods in order to lower the cost spent on rods. As for cement I bought 15 bags for the piling and basement. 7 bags was used for the piling, 8 bags was used for the basement. Each bag was sold to me for #3500 . I tried my possible best to beat down the price of cement but e no work.

For the labour work, I used cheap labour. That's is aboki to do the mixing of cement and carrying it to fill the piling and basement while the engineer supervised them and tell them where to pour it. I paid the aboki a range of #2500 to #3000 depending on the number of them doing the labour work.

For the iron bender, I paid him 15k total for bending the rods for the piliing. Mehn, it was the engineer that helped me beat down the price and advised I opt for daily pay so that it can be easier for me. While for the basement I paid the iron bender 10k total. Initially the iron bender was asking for 25k for the basement (i.e 1k per base) but I no get that kind money to spend for bending iron for basement.

All my materials was exhausted for the piling and basement except for my concrete that remained like quarter trip and sharp sand remained like half trip, iron rods finished.

So I had to buy half tonne of 12mm and quarter tonne of 8mm with half bundle of binding wire for the raft

I called carpenter that will bring him own wood to construct the raft for me and carry back him wood once the raft has been casted, he charged me #120,000 but God knows say I don't have that money to pay him. With the help of my mom she beat down the price to #40,000. Trust women, they can do magic for you sometimes. The iron bender was asking for 40k but I was able to beat down the price to 20k.

And again hiw much have u spent so far cos i tried to calculate it but the iron rod price is what i dont get
