Mind you there was already a foundation on ground which I went to the site to inspect and the job I met on ground I wasn't impressed as it doesn't meet up to Standard but he said that his bricklayer who is his Engineer is very experienced so that is his problem. I am only concerned about the Architectural and Structural. I already sent him the job already in pdf via WhatsApp and it's been almost like 3weeks ago I completed the job and yet to receive my balance yet. He claimed to be busy which I understand but with the rise in inflation I want the job rounded up because every contract is valid for a window the value of money paid can execute it.

He blocked me on Whatsapp already because I asked for my balance. So asking for my balance means I am not nice right? If I hadn't completed the job the narrative would be that I took money and didn't complete the job but now it is the client refusing to pay for a job I spent 3 day and nights on. I already sent the completed job to him on WhatsApp.

Wish we had good Audi mechanics..

My former Audi, I had to Google how to drain oil because none of the mechanics had an idea.

Buy, rent or lease .. wonders shall never end. Even if you get the sand free , wood free , what of roofing sheets, tye nails etc .. Can you get that roofing less 2m ?

Oga Topsy... He's being sarcastic. He's joking..

toluxa1:


We all know that. The man asked about the COST OF THE BUILDING.

It's so simple.

It's like walking past a house and saying...."Wow, this building will be worth so and so amount"

That's all.

ChrisPrimeProp:

Like Seriously You seek building cost just by providing a picture.
Even if it's just for rough estimate, the proper approach is to state the floor area (first) plus picture . Then rule of thumb method can be applied. Else any figure you get is just futile.

Dear Mr Chris, I will not be arguing semantics with you.

kopell:
In which city is the building?

Simawa, Ogun state.

The picture was actually sent to me by a client.

He wants the exact building for 17 millon naira..

ChrisPrimeProp:

Your questions lacks information to answer it.
Property valuation is not done by picture. That house can go for N10m; Location is the prime consideration.

Really

There's no where in this country you'll build that house for 10million naira.

While location is a factor in construction cost, it's not the only factor. Besides, I was talking about the cost of the building without considering land cost.

redgem:


30mil...

It's worth more.

sethtsadopp:


50m ish

Considering the frameless windows, roofing and all, your guess is a good one.

sonnie10:

Nice design. But I see it as half duplex, half bungalow. No matter what, 40millon don finish inside.

Yes its a bungalow with a Living room + room pent house..

Badgers14:


Location, location, location!


There are locations where this building will be worth N200m.

Keep that in mind

Ahhhh 200m.. must be Abuja politicians.. I'm not talking about land cost though, just the building..

How much do you think this building is worth 20? 30? 40? 50million?

FEGEITOK:


Smiles, if anyone wants one, be sure to take all the relevant safety precautions.

I commenter on YouTube said that of all the machines in his workshop, none has given him as much injury as this one.

I got it because I needed to do some concrete polishing, grinding and leveling like this guy in the video below:

I have a Bosch too..

This thing will cut your finger within a second..

BrickDevo:


Somwhere be 350k to 500k, depending on the location

Bro.. You'll spend about 1 million for this kitchen.. including the lights, tiles etc..

The Gloss Grey boards cost over 35,000 for just one board.

I've been thinking of how to replace materials for construction of "fins".

I really do not like the steel / concrete fins especially as they aren't structural members.

Been thinking about how toughened PVC will fair..

Good day....
Please is there anyone who has done conduit piping for AC points/units I'll like to know what you charge?
Thanks.

michlins:
I still never work for you and it will be an honor

I'll be honored too..

I just have a welder at present who does my wleding on site..

But I definitely have you in mind when I come to the East.

unzend:
Hi Everyone,

I got a roofing quotation of 4m for a 21x10m building.
Sandcoated roof tiles

I am thinking of decking instead.

The money is too much.

Kindly advice

21m x 10m is a large house.

Stone coated Woodwork will take about 1million..

Purchase and installation of stone coated roof will take over 2 million..

Decking is not economical also. You will spend more than 4milluon to do a decked roof.

michlins:
this is the easiest way to get confused and delay your project.

If you find someone who will deliver what you dream of in your project, get a quotation and bargain your price with him. Give him the job and move on to other things especially making more money. Sometimes what people charge you for includes but not limited to their experience, the peace of mind you get when working with them.

There are people who will work for you without you calling them on phone one day or worrying about delivery. Just pay them and sleep

You're very correct.

When @Topsy23 gives me quotes for wires or other things, I just go to sleep.. Same with @twinskenny @gbadexy and others..

I still do minor repairs on my jobs that are 2-5 years old, most times for free..

twinskenny:

As a roofer, I will not take this kind of job.

The danger it poses to the workers is so much.

Twostep:
Good morning house, kindly help me vet this quotation, looks way overboard.

Please will appreciate inputs.

We don't know the perimeter of the fence.

But if it's a 50x 100 ir 60x120, it's a good deal (based on experience).

Soldierboy30:
Good morning, please any idea on cost of building this from start to finish?
4bedroom ensuit bungalow with penthouse.
Location Uyo.
Thank you

Depending on standard and finishing..

As a contractor, I wouldn't take this project less than 22 - 25million naira..

rmx:


Just for reference , how much was dollars when they bought the current stocks being sold and how much is it now

Let me ask you also , if you had a land or 03 to 06 Corolla you bought 1 year ago and dint register , would you sell at current values or the price of 1 year ago . I think most times we complain because we are at the receiving end . Can you also direct your grievances to people selling dollar at 700 to 800 now compared to 500/600 last year

I think what must have happened is inventory of old stocks must have been low or exhausted , maybe stocks over 6 months in the country and serious adjustments just happened recently at say the dollar price of 3 to 4 months ago for newer stocks . Some might have also factored current replacement cost [/b]or use an average , not saying people will not exploit the situation further

There is absolutely nothing in Nigeria price change has not affected and it’s ongoing, weekly , monthly, it’s that bad . Raw Food , fmcg , transport , Vehicles , diesel , sand . Name one thing not affected outside petrol that is subsidized

Should current replacement cost be the metric in determining prices? Or should it be a profit margin mark up?

If I buy a product for 4000 and my profit markup is 20%, then I should sell as 4800..

But if current replacement cost is 7,000, should I sell at 8,400 or 4,800

[b]The major issue is this..
You have an old stock you bought 4000 naira. Because of dollar increase / replacement cost, you shoot it to 8400 immediately.

When dollar drops (which indicates drop in replacement cost, should be price not come down to reflect current situation.

hamtabfawaz:


My brother, it's now ₦10K.


The problem is the very greedy vendors. They use dollar as an excuse, when dollar rates reduce, instead of reducing the price of the Pop cement, they'd rather increase it, Meanwhile Some of them bought it, while dollar was a cheaper.


Na we dey do ourselves.

You're right. They always saying they will meet the new price while re-stocking. My major problem is the arbitrary increase which is not commensurate with the dollar increase.

Dollar increase by 100 naira, then one bag of POP jumps from 6500 to 10,000..

Anyways I've gone back to my Plasterboard.. More expensive though.

RockOfAgesAlumi:

Well done sir

You're welcome. Those are windows you made.

The impeccable white..

Wouldn’t you rather build with us

Same project..

Our Impeccable painting finishing on one of our projects...

What's happening with POP cement prices.. I quoted 6500 at the beginning of the turnkey project.

2-3weeks ago, I still confirmed 7,000 from my supplier, now 9,500...

I'm tired.
