Yet it's still cheaper in bayelsa than OGUN STATE, Lagos is the source of most of these building materials except granite and sands which we have in aboundant in OGUN STATE yet it's still on the high side here. 5tons granite is #65,000-70,000 here in Ogun state presently.

We also go to Lagos to buy bulk on our own from Ogun state anytime we feel like cutting cost yet the artisan here are more costly than bayelsa artisan if am guessing right. Imagine I recently paid 50k for artisan to set 320 pieces of 9" inches blocks above lintel level which cost 2 mason 2 helpers less than 2 days to finish.

Your quotes and billing are way to expensive, you have been schooled.

Tons of granite ranges from 5k to 14k

And there are loads of QUARRIES( KOPEC, IJEBU ODE, RCC, AND OTHERS) in ogun State, making it more cheaper.

Hmmm, 50k to set just 320 blocks? shocked Are you sure that's what obtains generally around there or yours is just an exception?

It might be an extortion but that's what I paid nd I know if the price would be less than this, the margin will be close. It's actually on top of lintel beam not floor blocks settings.

I will not like to mention my actual place in Ogun state but here it's usually on the high side because u hardly see an indigenous boy learning mason or doing labourers as 99% of youths are into yahoo stuff. So we r left with the Hausa guys nd they r also aware of our challenges hence they charge high.

I called a mallam to clear a plot of land for me he was charging me 30k cos the Yahoo boys pay them high for little job so the r alert nd ready to extort U anytime. I ended up paying 10k for clearing a plot of land without trees oo.

Infact I can boldly say that Lagos construction job is way cheaper than my place.

I called some iron bender for a slab Job nd they were charging 50k per tonnage. I had to invite an iron bender from Lagos who did d job at 35k per tons. I once told a mason that setting of building blocks in Lagos is #60 per block nd he said that can never happen here as they don't count blocks settings job.

Have a read on your quote I never stated that 5tons was 14k, I was only giving you price advice on the cost, as it varies depending on sizes....

Mind you I am on the journey of a factory construction in same Ogun State( very remote community) and all prices are still relatively low to what you have expended.
Visit rcc, KOPEC, cnc, crane, quarries they would give you the prices of the various sizes, in my own case I made use of 3/4down and it was 11k per ton from KOPEC.... the driver charges 40k for the transportation 20 tons size truck, and I have made purchase of about 80ton and still counting. So you can do your assignment again and this time around diligently.

Hmm, 11k per tonnage? Guy gba, won ti ripped e? I can actually sell granite for u at a very reasonable price below what u r buying currently, infact compare to what ur 11k per tonnage it would a kind of unimaginable price. I will supply it with my money and if it's not up to 20tonnage u r used to, reject it.

Mind u, in my place here, no 20 tons truck will collect 40k to move 20tons of granite, I can bet that. May b quarry is very close to ur site.


U said very remote community, where I am in OGUN STATE is less than 40 minutes to Lagos, u can't compare remote community to a city.

Ok if my 5tons is @ d rate of 11k per tons, 5 tons would be 55k abi? How much will the truck charge? U mean the truck will charge 10k for moving it? I bought it @65k-70k.

FEGEITOK:


Do you really want to ask someone to give up his secret sauce?

In this job, there are fathers, husbands, young men, students, etc. There is no standard charge for screeding. Some charge based on the name and reputation they have built over the years. Others charge because of the enormity of responsiblity they carry. Others charge because they would rather do something legit than beg or steal. Others want to make it big before tomorrow.

Because the motivations are so different, the pricing you get will vary considerably.

If you need someone that travels anywhere and everywhere and does not charge exhorbitantly. I can recommend someone. He is an undergraduate with a drive to better his lot in life. I like his work ethic. He finds time between his classes to travel all over Nigeria to do screeding so he can self-sponsor his education.

This is assuming that you found it difficult to arrive at a compromise with Bolu.1986 whose work I love and highly recommend.

Maybe I will start with your approval by passing on these parameters so we can get his costing for the above.


Fegeitok, I sent you PM concerning the above.

Thanks in anticipation.

Your comprehension skill ehn.....

I am 25 mins to lagos,sagamu, ibadan,abeokuta all from same location, so tell me how you can be so calculative.

By the way the size determine the price, the error up there is 3/4 down was gotten for 7k per ton,if you still don't get it. I don't know what to say.
While the larger sizes( larger than those use for fuelling station ground flooring. were gotten at 11k per ton.

Am not dragging anything with u guy, we r educating ourself here. My points are clear, mind u, u r running ur project at high price aside the cheap labourers u got nothing is still different. 3/4 down at that price 7k/ton is still the same price with my initial price.

Also no 20 tonnage capacity truck will agree to move 20 tons granite @ 40k except if the quarry is very close to ur site nd if u r really saying the truth good luck. U can as well give me the trucker number I wan to give him granite job. Thanks 👍

Good evening Michlins your advice is needed please...

I already have 2100L tank at the site and intend to buy another 2100L to place on the stand...

So, here is the issue, I totally forgot to give the welder this information, only to remember this evening. To cut the long story short, he said the stand can't carry 2 of 2100L except 2 of 1500L at the top and that it can only carry 2100L in the middle... I asked him why and he said cos he is using 2m galvanized pipe whatever and we've already agreed on price @350... 200k has already been paid so please, what can be done now?

Note: we never discussed about what materials to be used cos I know nothing about it, I just told him that I needed an 18ft tank stand and he sent me the pictures below
