Makes sense.

So far I've been doing direct labour @ N50 flat rate for block setting irrespective of the floor level and additional N10 for lifting the block to 1st & 2nd floors.

diordaves:
That is the total cost if you are using direct labour. If you are using contractor, you may be charged additionally for carrying the block. I normally use direct labour for straightforward jobs.

Hi, does the N70 at higher level include Labour cost or moving the blocks to the higher floor for use or that is separate?

diordaves:
Both 6" and 9" at ground level, but higher up, 9" hollow is N70. 6" hollow can be negotiated at N60 still. But they will be telling you that after the work you should 'bless' them.

Where is your location? I know you can work anywhere but where are you based?

How much do you charge per block for block setting?

Contact distributors directly. That way you remove middle-men that are not vested and offer you nothing other than placing a phone call on your behalf.
You'll get good deal starting from 300 bags upwards. if you push it to 600 bags then even better.

Where is your location? Which brand of cement do you want? I can share some of the contacts i use often with you.

You should establish direct contact with two or three distributors for redundancy sake.

good luck.

@ house
What's the cheapest way of buying 400-500 bags of cement for a project. The small retailers are quoting 2,600 but I believe I can get it at a better price considering the number

Hello, How much do you pay per block laid in Lagos?

diordaves:
This is what I'm used to over the years, from Delta to Lagos to Ibadan. Half blocks are paid for. The counting method is the blocks laid and not the block supplied. Na to draw rain with my bricklayers be that then.

Hello people,

I have a toks 2007 Jeep Patriot that arrived with oil pressure issues.
It is suspected that OIL PRESSURE SENSOR needs replacement.

Any recommendations on how I can:

1) Check the car for diagnosis to confirm exact problem
2) Purchase parts for that car e.g. Oil pressure sensor if that's indeed the problem

Considering it's not too common around here, do you have anyone to recommend?

Thanks

People,

Please I'm looking for those guys that do excavate deep-rooted trees from swampy land before sand filling.

I have tried some laborers but water pass garri for them, they couldn't deliver, so I need specialists.

Location is Ajah axis in Lagos.

Any referrals or recommendation will be appreciated.

Thanks

You may also consider BUA.

I've used both Dangote and BUA recently for various purposes and you can't tell any difference really.

davodyguy:
I agree with you and will look for Lafarge

This means you pay block setting fee also for the broken/waste blocks.
I'll try to use the total block set to compute payment.

- pay for carrying the total number of blocks and
- pay for setting only the blocks counted on the wall (i.e. less the waste)

that is what i'll propose... major savings with over 20k blocks to set.

segzy14:



I don’t pay half block as one that is over paying the bricklayer. If I supply 500blocks, I will pay for the 500blocks and make sure it is used there.

I get you... Thanks.

So N50 per block is the fair going rate? Location: Lagos

erico2k2:
Might be but trusted me from the eyes of a prospective landlord, stick to block counting, its easier to account for, that being said, you will be shortchanged anyhow you monitor but at least you know the figures U paid for when you count!

What is the difference between paying for block setting per block vs per SQM?

I recently heard about paying SQM and they claim its supposed to be cheaper and easier to estimate Is this true?
Are you aware of this method? If yes, what's the rate to use?

Thanks

segzy14:

You don't need to pay 2000naira for the labourer after paying 50naira for each block. 30naira is payment for the bricklayer while 20naira is payment for the labourer.

Morning all,

hmmm... i don't mean to be a party pooper but I'm here wondering if you had to create a profile for the sole purpose of this eulogy.

No previous NL history of this moniker but you "met him on here too" (sic)?

Hmmmm...

BenjaminOwolabi:
Dear yannj7002... reference topsy23, he is currently handling electrical project for my 7bed duplex and its been very satisfying experience. Give him the job ... go to sleep. Professionalism is superb... and you see same exhibited in all his boys. I even call one of his boys perfectionist.

Talk about integrity on funds, you have no fear. Trust me. I can stand a guarantor for him. Quote me on that.

He is quality... but will advise you on consequence of your choices which cost might want to tempt quantity.

Everyone that has visited my site request for his contact... and I gladly passed on.

Funny enough, I met him on here too.

Benjamin... you may pm me if want more info.

Hello, what’s your location?

Vission2020:
House please I need your opinion on how much you think is the price to mold a 9inch Hollow block on a site... I will be the one to provide the sand and the cement and water.. all they will provide is Services I.e machine/Engine for the blocks and Labor... i contacted some one today and he told me for him to mold a piece of block while a provide the sand and cement/water it will be #130 per a piece and he can produce 40piece for a bag of cement.. which means if I want to mold 100bags = 3000 Blocks I will have to pay him 390,000 plus the fact that I still be the one to buy the 100 bags of cement and provide the sand...

So guys please what’s your take on this .. because when I did my calculations with all cost I think the total amount I will spend for just molding 3000 blocks will be ridiculous and doesn’t make much sense to me ...

Hello,

Please does anyone here have someone that can operate this block making machine in Ajah axis?

Please send me a contact.

Hello all,

Which brand and/or type of cement is recommended for block making/moulding?

Thanks

Hello all,

Which brand and/or type of cement is recommended for block making/moulding?

Thanks

Hello people,

Is a BRC wire mesh or some sort of reinforcement required to make coping above a parapet wall.

See attached picture for a sample.

One engineer says just high proportion of cement with sand will do while the other says BRC is required.

Thanks

The kind of stories one reads here... there are way too many quacks out there in the name of "engineer" practicing in this industry.

Post a picture for better understanding.

To your question...you will most likely have to insert iron rods to correct it (depending on the nature of the crack.

Again, post pictures to help you get the right responses.

good luck

4newguy:
Good day. I need this great house and engineers advice. I started a 4bedroom bungalow which weve roofed and plastered. Of recent, weve noticed crack both horizontal and vertical cracks on the walls and the floor. Engineer said it's as a result of differential settlement and it can be worked on.
He said working on it involves cracking the walls and just filling and plastering with cement and sand.
Someone told me it involves breaking the walls and inserting reinforcement (iron rods) and plastering with mixed sand,cement and granite.

He insists that it's not necessary. Please engineers in the house, is it necessary or not

Hello,
how many blocks will one bag of cement set on the average?

Thanks

Hello,

Who are the good roofing vendors here?
I need to get accurate wood quantities first for the kingpost.

I'll like to hear recommendations from customers that have used their services ONLY.

Thanks

Too busy.

Get the architect ( if you used any) to get more creative. I'm sure he can do better.

You seemed to have too much crammed in there.
- Master bed access awkward
- How do you get ventilation to family lounge? Do you even need one at all?
- Is laundry mandatory to you? seems forced in there as well. consider outdoor laundry or in the terrace if you absolutely have to have one.
- Visitors rest room is a requirement but needs to be relocated. that's one space thats okay to be tucked in a corner and hidden from direct view for privacy.

I will just rework everything altogether to get a completely different layout.

Hezbola:
Engineers in the house please, kindly review this plan. Is it perfect, what can be adjusted.

Pls repost the pictures again especially the small one which didn't show up well.


[quote author=HollowBlock post=75126133]Hello, Those who are looking to start Block making machine in Nigeria, we are Turkish Factory and producing high-quality block moulding machine for Nigerian customers and we have shipped our machine to Nigeria and our customers are happy with our machine , if you are new in this business you need to choose a small block moulding machine which cost of this machine start from 13000$ which is good machine we give 2 years grantee , but if you have already started this business and want to buy high-quality block machine to produce more hollow block and paving block we have a good machine for you which cost start from 37000$ I am sharing the picture and video of machines and more if anyone interested to import our machines can visit our website for contact us directly in WhatsApp (+905326382935)

Please can you clarify and explain the bolded part again?

you wrote that i need 3.1 tonne to 3 bags of cement for 100 blocks.... is this 3.1 tonne of sand or stone dust or both?
35 per bag is okay and clear, just need to clarify the other points.

Olazzeedris:
**Primarily why molding block ;1 For us to have good qualities 2. To avoid delay 3. Maybe to save little cost etc.

Now Firstly; Is good you mold it on site to get good quality ,because if you're to buy of standard it would cost you more infact you may not see it at the range of 200 or 220 .Though region determines.

2nd on materials ; You need like 3.1tonne to 3bags of cement for 100blcks.
35 per bag
Cost you 19,000 to 20,000

Then if you're to buy of the same quality you mold @ rate of 220 to 250 .

Thanks for the detailed response.

Yes I am still keen on molding the blocks on site, below are some of the extra info you requested;
- We will use both sand and stone dust mixture
- We are looking to hire the molding machine and labor required
- I don't know the different type of machine, i just know of vibrated block making machine

Leads me to next set of questions...
What are the rates to hire molding machine and what is rate for labor per block?
What is the desirable sharp sand & stone dust mix ratio?
I understand the 30-40 blocks per bag of cement part, but how many cement needed for 1 trip of sand (just as example)?

If i have these info, then i can do the numbers and work out my material list and cost to achieve the total quantity i need.

Thanks

boay:
The only cost saving is the cost of transportation and profit (of block moulding industries). The cost saving will be reasonable because of the large quantity.

It is advisable to mould to ensure quality and considering the fact that you need a large quantity.


The basic materials you will need are cement, sand/quarry/stone dust and water. The moulding machine inclusive.

I need to put pen on paper to determine the exact quantities.

Also, will you use sand or stone dust? Where is your location? What type of machine will you use to mold, do you own or will hire the machine, will the labourers/operators be engaged newly or are part of the/your company etc.

These info are needed for a detail analysis.
