Lovelysexy:
Good evening all,

I have a 3 bedroom plan to be used in constructing a 3 bedroom bungalow.
Attached is the building plan and the bill of quantity submitted by the contractor I want to use.
The boq is estimated from scratch to levelling
I told him the blocks are too much and that the quantity for the iron rods , sand and granite are too much

this bill is very minimal, the contractor is a good person.

Cement from calculation is 4 bags or 5bags max

Goodluck

Thanks chief do u think the 10mm rebar will be sufficient for the gutter slab or would it be best to do a double 12mm or a single 16mm?

What is the depth of the soak away?

Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by jamesgordon: 1:13am On Feb 13

Omo, this thing is not easy!!! This was the quote they sent to me three weeks ago! Which way Naija na

Block - 2500 qty @ N500 = N1,250,000

IRON - 200 12mm @ N5900 = N1,180,000
Plank - 50 Qty @ N300 = N15,000
Cement - 45 bags @ N5500 = N247,500

Cement for Casting - 15 bags @ N5,500 = N82,500

Sand - 4 double Tipper @ 70000 = N280,000
Gravel 1 Tipper = N70,000
Nails - ½ bag = 8000
Workmanship = 25,000
Bricklayer workmanship - N500,000

Total= 3,661,000

I'm just reading online that blocks has increased and Cement has doubled shocked

And this is just for a 2-bedroom bungalow. The foundation, septic tank, and soak-away are all done. What's left is to bring it up to the roof.

Can anyone modify this to give me a more recent update on the current prices? Thanks!

Then they just sent me for drainage, which I believe is essential.

Drainage
Drive Through Iron = N220,000
Digging = N50,000
Gravel = N50,000
Sand = N60,000
Cement - 60000 @ N7,500 ( cool

Block = N56,000 @ N700 (80)

Workmanship = N24,000

Total= 520,000

dangoteinlaw:
if the land is waterlogged then the iron is okay but for dense soil its way too much.

If it's waterlogged, dont you think there won't be 9 inches for foundation and 12mm won't be okay... Rather we'll be talking about 16mm and 8mm.

Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by Winniealfred1(f): 8:25am On Feb 13

Update on how it is going. Any advice on this? Meanwhile i wanted to add piller. I was waiting for their quotation but never knew they have already started the foundation already. The house is currently being built in the village in Oyo state with very dry land. Infact the town is known for having rock everywhere. The bricklayer complained about how strong the ground was and how it took them weeks to be able to dig the ground. Kindly check their work so far and tell me what i should do. Meanwhile since there is no pillar, i am thinking i should do round Lintel or what do you think? It is a bungalow. Need advice.

The pillar is still achievable. Tell your builder.
Also, Pillar is necessary if you are doing a parapet too.

First thing first.
The finished floor level to the compound level is way too low.

In the near future, water might be an issue.

- it looks like it's a slopping land to the back, hence the height at the back is better from ground.

Solution - STEP UP the front part of the foundation by extra 2 courses, while thr back remains as is.

On chain lintel, I've always not be an advocate but you can do it round if you wish.

See attached pics.

Goodluck.

Cost of things are on high side.
I went to the mkt to get more tools, Infact I nearly fight with the seller ..lolz
This items cost me about 120k.

The most annoying one is the long 5ft plum.
I bought it few years back in Benin for 8k
Today I paid sum of 18k for it.

A popular pop vendor here that worked in same Benin project, his boy stoled all my tools about 8 shovel , 2 long plum, sleeping foam and many more thing cost about 150k then
They even spoiled the bathroom accessories in the house that I rented ( 2 bedroom) for the project for my workers only.
They stayed there without paying me kobo throughout the duration of there work.
Even to pay electricity bill they refused.
Well I just leaved them with there character.
But the owner of the project repaired all the bathrooms appliances they damaged for the landlady.
