I quite understand your point here and other subsequent submissions you've made.

Okay, let's take it from another angle. Will you be willing to take up this project, 4ft by 4ft by 25ft? Location is Ikorodu, Lagos.
what's the number of tanks you intend for it to carry and the height of the building

Good day everyone. I want to clear something up. Every businessman have his or her own principle and terms of working. If you ask for my opinion on the cost of doing a job and the materials you think will be enough, I can help you with that but asking me to review a quotation of another welder is something I will NEVER do. I don't know what he intends to do and how he intends to achieve it.

Some quotation maybe over bloated not because the welder or artisan intends to rip off the client but because costing the materials it will take to complete a job is something many can't do. That's why quantity surveyors help engineers. Y'all will agree with me that most artisans are barely literate to communicate in english and we're talking about mathematics here. Sometimes it's innocent mistake and other times greed. Either way, it's not my duty to point out which for anyone.

You have to factor also that the cost of materials and living differ from place to place. A single door I can make with #20,000 costs above #35,000 in Lagos.

Having said the above, I regret any inconveniency it causes this forum and its established guidelines. Enjoy the new year

I don’t understand this.
when you ask a welder the number of angle iron it will cost to do a job, he's likely going to inflate the number.


For instance, the quotation in question,he asked for four tins of paint. The job below is far bigger than the one in question and it cost just a single tin of paint.

I think you need to work on this principle. You did something similar to me when I asked to help me check the quotation I got for protectors.

Considering the fact that we are all here to help each other, I think if you see someone being ripped off, you should be able to say something.

Personally, I believe that workmen shouldn't get a penny from the materials that they quote. Include what ever gain you want to make in your workmanship.

It's for this same reason 2 roofers lost their contract with me. In addition to their workmanship, they inflated the measurement for the roof to include an extra 100k. They didn't expect me to go straight to the company and ask for an installer.

So, my brother. I think you should be able to review. There should be a charge for workmanship there. This guy should not be ripped off on materials as well. Thanks.
why I can't review quotation is because location and price differs from place to place. There are discrepancies on the prices of materials I saw there but I am not buying these and don't understand the local market to be able to determine whether they're high or low.

Another thing is that when I give someone a quotation, I will tell you the total cost my labor inclusive. Asking for the individual number of materials is where you get ripped off.

You will agree with me that the price of materials at your location was far expensive from what is obtainable in my location that you even suggested that I source some of the materials for you from my end.

Thank you.

Could you please help review the quote below for the use of 'U-beam'.
sir this is something I can not do. Review the quotation of another person job. He's the person working and knows what he needs. If you think it's too high, check another person and review.

Thanks for your understanding

Happy New Year to everyone!

Please how good are galvanized pipes for the construction of a water tank stand? The welder is saying that 4 inches diameter pipes will be deployed.

The pictures below depict what we hope to achieve.
sure it can work but I personally hate it. I prefer to err on the side of caution because you never can tell what would happen. After spending multiple millions building a house, you will risk it all because you're trying to save a couple of hundreds of thousands. Galvanized pipes usually bend and break. Just two months ago,a colleague was called by a home owner to come back and fix the one he has. Luckily it didn't hit the building or kill anyone.

@spyder80 thanks for the mention

Hello everyone. I have been commissioned by a client to sell a plot of land at Asaba. It's three minutes drive from the state government house. The dimension is 100 by 50ft.


Start this year with real estate investment. You can buy this land this January and start a kobo kobo investment on it and before you know it, you have another building with your name on it. Thanks all

I have hand rails only at the entrance. See attached pic.
Water tank should also be needed.
What will be your quote for water tank and rails so I know if it's what I will consider now. It's a 4bedroom bungalow and we are using underground water storage(well)
that's glass rails there. Not my field of specialization. If you want to swap it with wrought iron rails, let me know. About the water tank, a 12ft single stand carrying 1000 gallons of tank will be sufficient but that's if you have already sink the borehole

Remove the affected tooth. Speaking from experience. That's the best remedy but you can keep sinking money in pain meds until you rupture your stomach walls and develop ulcer. The choice is yours

On a second thought, I believe if you have other jobs on the said site like hand rails, window burglaries, I can come to site to take measurements myself and if after the job when I'm making delivery I can also do the standing tank if it's available

Ok sir. Wrought iron pipe we use!
I will get them to send the precise measurements early nextweek then I will contact you to finalize the agreement.
I still ask that you please upload the picture of the gate you really want. I uploaded lots of photos here yesterday and can't pinpoint the exact one you want

I don't have any design. You can quote for the attached pictures or if you have a better one you can recommend. For the gate, I have picked one already. Will let you know of the material option when finalizing the agreement.
the materials on the second one are

1" pipe and 14mm square rod. For durability knowing that this will be in the rain 247, I suggest we use wrought iron pipe.

The cost of it by 10ft is 40,000. Kindly physically reconfirm the measurements of the rails and furnish me with the pictures.

About the gate, kindly upload the picture of the design you have choosen

I beg to differ though.

Use 14mm - 16mm square rod and you’ll have nothing to worry about.

The burglar will have to come with a grinder, generator and a very good cutting disk to cut through.
hehehehehehehe. I understand your point, we're not truly safe. The 16mm is for the framing and the 14mm for the designs.

If thieves can make it through banks, our homes aren't truly safe

Thanks, I appreciate you responding not only with the price but also informing of the materials to be used, although I am in Lagos/Ogun which is a bit of a challenge, except of cos we can have people on here who are also interested in your services in Lagos that we can do a kind of joint order and share the cost of delivery, the burglaries are not the only jobs to do. thanks all the same.
what other jobs do you have and we can find a work around the delivery costs. Cost of waybill is based on individual items cause I don't charter the whole truck

You are right man. Just checked the plan again its actually 10ft each ( 2 set) with pillars in between.
You could provide pricing for the two set. Also let me know cost of transportation of both the gate and fence rail to Ekpoma.
you haven't made a choice for the rails. Choose a rail and a gate and I will give you a price. About the price of delivery,one truck will bring them and as such it's same price

I mean the length of the fence and not the height sir.I guess that will determine the price
length or width, there's no way it will be 30ft for just one rail. That's not possible

There's no way a fence rail will be 30ft long. It's usually 10ft long. Do you have any idea what 30ft is like? That's almost two storey building
