Interestingly, it’s simple stuffs like this that turn me on. I pay premium for jobs like this.

It shows how much you pay attention to detail. That alone deserves some credit.

Dangote cement is currently #3500 in my area on Lagos.

I want to do a foundation and I'm confused whether to proceed or still wait for the price to come down more?

Will the price still come down more?

My crew earn #1,000 per bag. Some pay as low as #900

Egun guys do work more than any other tribes. They can hit up to 18 bags or even more per day.

My late operator do 20 bags per day.

I just finished fabricating this type yesterday. It cost me 290k. The fabricator is in Ikorodu.

The new machine unlike the one I have in Ibadan and uses 1 Vibrator (3hp) but have a very big stamper which is the most important thing in the whole construction. A lot of machine I’ve seen around lately have smaller stamper.

My machine in Ibadan has 2 Vibrator (1hp & 3hp) and produces more solid block than the common type of machine.

It’s best to get a professional fabricator to help you put together the machine. Most off-shelf machines do develop fault after few months.

That’s all I know.

Not buying swamp
Saw swamp on the mainland (Mile 12 and Isheri North) but rain. Won't settle for same elsewhere.

My search started from the mainland.

Majority of Lagos is flooded including parts of mainland but we all have our definition of a home

Should developers stop and hope prices come down or we just pay more?

I need 100 bags of POP cement ₦1,000,000
100kg of Sponge ₦300,000
Other items ₦200,000
Labour ₦200,000

This makes no sense

spyder880:
Are we saying that all the cement dealers went in and had a meeting, and decided to raise cement prices for over 80% all over the country while those selling rods and chippings are so good they don't want hold meetings to add as much prices?

Isn't that strange?

These Baba Lati's even charge higher than Engineers sef.. it's like running from fry pan (Engineers) to fire (Baba Lati).

120,000 for setting 1000 blocks

ChevyHeavy:
Hello everyone.

Current costs of the above items are crazy.

Are the costs likely to come down in the nearest future? We purchased iron rods for 202k as at May this year. Now they are going for nothing less than 260k per ton.

Cement has also gone from 2550 to 3700 per bag.

Will the prices come down or are these prices here to stay? Industry experts or those in the know, please respond.

Awaiting your response.

Piling is to prevent it from sinking because it's a swamp area

neduboo:
I don't have structural design . Just architectural plan. The area is a swamp

neduboo:
How many will be needed. The foundation needs piling because it is a swamp area. So that the building doesn't sink in later years

rotecch77:
May be I misquoted you in the earlier post.
Anyway I don’t have for foundation now, but if you don’t get it on time let me know I will link you with someone around ajah axis.

I'm still very skeptical about all the recent talk around formwork purchase being a waste viz-a-viz rental, this is largely because we've always used it multiple times.

So i'll like to use this floor plan of an upcoming work as case study. can you pls let me know the cost for:
- marine board/plywood formwork rental + carpenter labour for installation and removal
- steel formwork rental + labour for installation and removal

You may estimate internal dimension not shown.

rotech77 or other person offering such service should feel free to quote as well.

We only need your height and the perimeter (internal and external) to calculate the quantity of boards.

If we have the ground floor plan too, we can estimate the quantity of boards.

No one has said money121 had issues with someone or not. What is expected of him as a big player in roofing works on nairaland is to be able to educate us and clear some misconceptions or allegations levelled against roofers. What you don't know is that silence sometimes implies approval.
We all can attest to what we have learnt from other building professionals here. [b]If he doesn't know the technical aspect of roofing but buying and selling of roofing materials, that isn't a problem but he should say it.[/b]Thereafter, no one will direct questions to him.

A lot of people who do not understand NextHome’s concept end up wasting time, materials and resource.

You’re only enriching the artisans in your project and getting little value in return.

I just completed casting of 6 slabs and this is all I spent on carpentary formwork rental and workmanship - 80k

I’m 100% sure your carpenter won’t use the quality of Formwork we use on our projects and won’t be as fast. Also the savings realized.

The amount going into that stage of work in your quote is too much. Worse still you’re getting little value in return.

But when your sons grow up, they will remind them that it is their father's house they are still living in. No respect until they build their own. SMH.
Or that the pattern of your house is no longer en vogue. I bet your father has a house. Yet you built your own. I tire o!

Cement within Lekki - Ajah an environs remain ₦3,300, Ironn Rod TMT is ₦285k, Tiget is ₦300k, Local is ₦255k.

Advance payment without pick up will be dangerous because if price change you will be told to pay difference, but if price reduce no refund.

Just carry on normal routine construction works.

As you pay for good pick up & stock in site get security. The only fear now is on Cement, if Dangote increase then price will still go up.

If CBN devaluation come up soon by next year another increment will also come.

Hence, for price to come down not visible.
