Spyder880, sorry for derailing this thread but I really have a question to ask,how much can I budget for carpenter and iron bender work for a parapet of 6 bedroom bungalow? How many bags of cement can also cast it?

Carpenters, average of N80k
Iron workers, average of N70k
About 50 bags of cement


Thanks.

This decking slab cast went on smoothly today, more pictures tomorrow

How many bags of cement were used for this slab?
Do you pay ur workers by per bag or by contract?

Is Wood to be used inside the 80k or wood will still be bought separately?

That'll be labour cost alone, I believe. Wood should cost much more than that...guessing from personal experience.

Wow
Cos we're about to start constructing the parapet soon
Carpenter's cost of labour plus wood is 200k
Was kinda thinking is on the high side
Building is a 4 bedroom duplex

I spent over 300k on wood for my parapet and labour was 70k, however mine is a 4 bedroom bungalow so probably has a longer perimeter than yours.

I guess mine isn't on the high side then considering the effects of the economy
Omoo
Thanks boss

The N80,000 should be for only Labour cost for payment of carpenters. Wood will cost much more, like Rany4all said.

We have started supplying this site with sand, blocks and iron reinforcement rods needed to build the next stage of this building.

More pictures later.

Oga Spyder, I am building a home now and I am at roofing stage. The building surface area is ~240 sq m. I used some roofing apps online to estimate the roof cover applying 1,2 and 3feet of eaves and my number couldn't match what I was quoted. I was getting less than 380 sq m.

Using the info above what would be the estimated woodwork, labor and Material?
How about the roofing cover assuming I am using Stone coated(Milano, Bond or Roman Designs)

I was quoted ~1m for woods and 2.37m(425sq m roof tiles) for roofing cover and accessories and 800k for labor for both

My Engineers fees were included in those labor charges.

I feel that is a bit much.

To be very candid with you, roofing measurements will never be exact, even if done with 3 different people, you will get 3 different quotes. What I usually do is to commence the work with the wood quotation of my carpenters, while making sure I buy less than what they demanded, and buy more later.

Call for roofing covering quotation after roofing wood work is completed. Physical measurements will beat estimated figures anyday. Thanks.
