Gravel is the readily available stone in the village unlike Lagos where we have access to granite.

I am looking at the bags of cement he demanded. That is a lot.


I noticed his workmanship is high too.

And for the sand, we are talking about 5tonnes here. The tipper size available in the village is 5 tonnes not the usual 20tonnes or more we have in Lagos

What I deduce from his quote is that he's not good at estimating.

1. The quantity of sand for foundation is too small (10 tonnes for concrete and block setting to foundations) - way too little

2. Gravel is Equaly small

3. Cement is high, especially in his block setting to level but 40 bags for foundation is not high... (the other 2 are)

4. His workmanship for foundations is way too little to do the job. (120k to dig the foundations, cast the concrete, set the block and do some filling around foundation) - labour must be cheap there.

5. Labour for block setting to level is high IF carpentry and iron bending work are not included but if it's included, it's not high.

6. He didnt even quote for sand for German Floor, I wonder if he's using stone alone.

7. Workmanship for German Floor is OK.

My advice:
You can buy your materials, and negotiate workmanship with him.

BUT.. make sure there's someone over seeing him... Like an experienced supervisor.. (more important than anything else)

Goodluck

Can you let me know how many bags of cement is needed for setting and Garman floor.

Also the sand, i think it supposed to be sharp instead of soft for both foundation and setting.

And also, i was budgeting N1m for both foundation to the roofing stage since this is not Lagos that requires raft foundation or piling. The quotation he gave me is almost N2m excluding the fact that i have blocks already. Is there ways to cut cost here. The quotation is currently given me headache.

Wanted to ask the same thing
The stacking wasn't done in columns but rows it was over laid so you will have let say 12 PCs in the side and front view but back and center would not be up to 12 each and it will achieve the same height, layman's term, if they were to arranged 300bags in normals should be 12 bags in height 5 in length and breadth, but they will arrange 12bags in height for the front rows and 5for the based then will over lap the remaining bags some will stand halfway some will interlock each other in such a way they would make way with 10 to 15 bags and if you were to count you would get 300 cos all the outer bags would be stacked completely while the inners wouldn't be complete, so if you count from top or side and multiply it would give you the exact numbers, but if you count in pieces you would notice. And if you don't until your mason, start unstacking them before you would get to know.
