It's a challenging environment but after everything considered, the total cost of all the materials, labor, logistics, settlements of area boys and supervision cost is N2.9m. This includes some of the construction we did to the walls in the dining section. It's a wide decking with cantilevers.

This is too high Spyder how did you come up to that figure?

spyder880:


Around N2.5m.

Is 2.5m not on the high side?what is the break down.

petikal:

That's cheap man; just 4mil/yr at full capacity, and one still has to factor in maintenance costs.

How much do you figure it'll cost in total to complete the property?

Who said 4 million a year is small money?remember this is 4 million a year for the rest of your life....wow that is solid by all standards. The key question is this, if you did not build the house what would you have used that money for?cars, holidays?..??.

lafolabi:
We used, both 6inch and 9inch block.

Boss, how many of each did you use please?

Cool:
Good day,

We're planning to construct the first floor of a building. So, we asked for quote that will take us from the decking to roof (decking already constructed). It is a single 4-bedroom apartment and we got the quotes below.

Total number of blocks estimated: 3000
Bricklayer's labour bill for setting block up to roofing level (his exact words): N450,000
Carpenter's workmanship: N65,000
Iron bender workmanship: N75,000

Other information:
1. There are 2 staircases in the plan. We expect the construction of the stairs to be included in the quotes. Do you think they've included these costs?
2. There are 20 pillars in the plan.
3. Site is in Ibafo, Ogun State

I'd like to hear from the experienced people on this forum before we talk to the workmen because right now, I'm alarmed, to say the least.

Thanks.

Cool

Just doing something similar now but mine is from German floor to lintel.

3000 blocks paying mason plus their labour 45 naira per block and that covers even all the broken pieces. I negotiated that much because of the potential for broken pieces.

Iron bender - I am in the process of negotiating with my iron bender . He takes 3500 per day and says the entire project will take him about 3 to 4 days. So I am aiming at negotiating at between 12k and 17k max. Will let you know what I paid eventually.

A good way of doing it is asking them their day rate ( which must fall between 3000 and 4000) and ask them how long it will take them to do. On that basis you can come up with a contract price which has to be less than the daily rate. Hope it goes well for you.

NairaBaba:


The 7k per flat is the estimated Carpenter labour cost we paid for this project. Each flat is two bedroom, all materials including nails were bought by us. As I said in one of the previous posts, it's for lintels only (and few adjoining columns). We cast most of the columns before Lintel.

Thank you so much my broda. You are a star.

Oga, how many 9inch blocks doc you use for this stage ( from German floor to lintel)?

spyder880:
From the outside, casting with concrete starts Monday morning.

Oga spyder, how many blocks did you use to lintel level from the decking?

spyder880:
Just before the third decking.......

Oga spyder how many blocks did you use for the 1st floor ( from deck one to deck two)?

spyder880:
Still making new blocks on the ground while doing the second decking........

Oga Spyder , how many blocks ( 9 inchs) did you use for the block work from German floor to decking?

NairaBaba:


Budget ₦4,500 - ₦5,000 per 100 blocks

For Lintel get quotation from Carpenters. Budget ₦ 5,000- ₦ 7,000 per Flat.

Oga nairababa,
If you paid carpenter over 100k for decking work then why would the take 7k per flat on lintel and adjourning column work?My carpenter is asking for 40k for all the form work at block stage. Is that a good price. My iron bender is asking for 55k for all the iron work in the column and lintel for the two flats. Is that a good price?
It is a twin flat 3 bedroom each, two story building, but I literarily just completed my german floor. Please help

NairaBaba:


Budget ₦4,500 - ₦5,000 per 100 blocks

For Lintel get quotation from Carpenters. Budget ₦ 5,000- ₦ 7,000 per Flat.

Please can I gave a break down of material and labour for block work and lintel. Thanks

NairaBaba:


25K is for Lintel and associated columns done at time of casting the lintel.

The Coulums reinforcement Iron bars were done in piecemeal, we paid per amount of work done daily. A good guide to how much you pay Artisans ( Carpenters, Bricklayers, Iron bender etc ) is ₦3,000 per day work. Labourers ( Mallams ) ₦ 1500-₦2000 per day work. The amount of work to be done is often contentious. From my experience contract is better. Negotiate the amount of work to be done and the price before commencement

Thanks. How much should I budget for block work and lintel work complete. Can I have a break down of your costing for the block work stage please.

NairaBaba:


For the first floor a total 4,700-5,000 9'' block were used. 4,500 Naira per 100 block charged as mason labour ( Bricklayer 3,000 Naira, Labourer--1,500 Naira ).

For Lintel the Carpenter collected 25,000 Naira . For columns casting Bricklayer ( mason ) collects 4,000 Naira,------- Labourer ( Mallams ) 2,00-3,000 naira per day depending on amount of casting done.

Thanks Naira baba,

Please how much should I expect to pay the iron bender?
Does the 25k carpenter include columns?
