Can you do a mini solar setup? That’s what most farms do…

1 220a batteries
2 2 solar panels
3 1kva inverter


Then you are good
.


You can then install the regular cameras with day and night color view

Rough estimate from the pic you have

200 blocks @ 300 = 60k
30 pics of 12mm @ 5000 = 150k
12 pics of 16mm @ 8000 = 96k (must, if you want cars to drive or park on it)
Digging 30k
Setting of blocks =20k
Cement 20bag @ 4500 = 90k
10 Planks @ 2000 = 20k
10 ton trip sand = #35k
Granite or stone 100k
Bamboo 20 @ 600 = #12k
10 ton plaster sand = 30k
Supervision (contractor) 50k
Other labor for casting 20k
Water 10k
Transport of materials #30k
Nails # 10k
Binding wire #10k
Carpenter 10k
Iron bender 10k
Total # 800k on the dot.

Conclusion. No work is small work these days.
My estimate is from an unprofessional point of view.

Hmm, well u r right sha, but 800k is way too much for this sock away am seeing.

It's not easy to quantify if some details are not provided. Like d depth, the dimensions, d sizes of iron bar used (local or foreign), the cemet mixing ratio, workmanship, location some times (but not too significant). I will advise the investor to always compare prices in subsequent dealings before giving out jobs cos these artisan are very dubious sometimes. It has happened to me before, I paid for 12mm iron bar and d guy bought less than 10mm thickness of iron bar for me nd lots more.

How much do you guys spend on a solid soakaway please. I have spent about 800k on mine (material and workmanship) and I'm wondering if it's the norm or the engineer is just being wasteful.

How much was quoted initially?

Is this a case of scope creep?

it sounds extreme

a basic soakaway is a 1.m x 1m x 1m excavation with spaced sandcrete blocks

you may need to share a picture of the finished work

is it a soaakway or a septic tank or a cesspit?
is it a waterlogged area?

.

for starters, this is not a soakaway

this is a septic tank

also it seems part of it is concrete [below the planks]
it also seems to be very deep - deeper than what usually obtains

it is also an unfamiliar design [for me] .

A septic thank is what Nigerians call Soakaway. If you are a Nigerian you should know this by now.

Good day all. I need advice from any construction worker in Ughelli, I want to do a project in Ughelli and I need a good place to buy woods for roofing. Someone suggested Sapele, saying woods are cheaper there. I will appreciate if I can get any information or a wood seller contact in Ughelli or Sapele to talk to before I leave Lagos . Thanks.

If the client can spend so much on the piles why do this on the pile caps and tie beams.
The supervising engineer should be held responsible for this shoddy job.

segcymoor:
I walked pass this site in our estate and what they did draw my attention...I called attention of the iron bender preparing pile cap rebar while sultry not remove and blinding done...he said they wan put pile cap and cast am together

How about conversion or repurposing, has anyone done that in Nigeria?

Something like taking an old fire station or church and converting it into a residence.
