SO AM ABOUT TO START BUILding ops on a 2br bungalow, first time build.
i have gotten a couple of builders i intend to use, after screening.
my questions.

1. what is the average charge for building supervision to pay the builder. is it best to lump it together with the labourers wages?
2. am thinking of planning and scheduling the work, based on milestones, say foundation to lintel, lintel to roofing. is this a good idea?
3. the plot is very low compared to the road, i estimate upto 7coaches of block will be swallowed to even make it level to the road, hence the soakaway pits should be dug and chained first b4 backfilling.
4. i have heard of conflicting talk about dpm and dpc, could someone specify what sequence is correct for the application

Don’t estimate, get a site report that will tell you exactly what it is.


If you already have a drawing, I can help you prepare the material and labour, where the cost for supervision will be included.

That will help you get exact material and labour quantity and cost. You will be well prepared against over spending.


For your questions, no 1: don’t lump together with labour except you both agree to pay him per day as he works.
2. Milestone is a good idea
3. Get a professional opinion on that.
4. It depends on the need of the site as instructed or recommended by the appropriate professional. The DPM is a sheet, nylon like while DPC is more harder, and put on the blocks and walls.

Casting on ground floor slab is the cheapest of all, and often the less stress to cast. Just get your concrete volume and negotiate using 15k per cubic for the labour.

Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by Dennis3D(m):
Why Are Buildings Still Collapsing in Nigeria?
Every year, building collapses claim lives, destroy investments, and leave families devastated. Many of these tragedies are linked to poor structural design, the use of substandard materials, inadequate soil investigation, and lack of professional supervision during construction.

At Dennis3D Construction, we believe every building should stand the test of time and not become another headline.
Here's how we protect our clients:
We begin every project with proper planning and structural design.
We recommend and verify quality building materials.
We encourage soil testing before foundation work where appropriate.
We maintain strict on-site supervision to ensure construction follows approved specifications.
We focus on quality, transparency, and compliance with professional construction standards.
Our mission is simple: to build safe, durable, and reliable structures that give our clients peace of mind.

thanks very much for the insight.
building is really tough, like estimating these 3 things

1. labour cost from foundation setting out till lintel
2. supervision cost for same
3. materials needed to complete that stage?
4. do you give the builder the total sum for items 1 & 2....perhaps in batches as the job progresses?

1. Yes - to roof level
2. Yes, supervision will be included
3. Yes, it’s a material and labour bill. It will be done as milestone, foundation, frames, walls, roof etc.
4. The total sum of all will be given.

It's possible with a very careful and knowledgeable roofer using the right tools. The problem with Nigerian artisans, they don't invest in the tools of their trade. Everything na hammer, nail, handsaw and raw manpower. That's all. The use of hammer can crack the POP. However, you should not carry out the work this raining season. Wait until after the rains.

Thank you Sir....please currently, what's the best roofing sheet and how much per meter? Currently using steptiles and I've fixed leakages twice...
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by christ007(m): 8:21pm On Aug 05
Honestly, things are really tough these days. The economy has made many clients afraid to spend because they're worried about losing their hard-earned money.

As a contractor, getting jobs now is much harder than before. Everyone is being extra careful with their finances, and you can feel the impact everywhere.

We're just hoping and praying for better days ahead. Until then, we'll keep doing honest work and giving our clients quality they can trust. 🙏🏾

We are active for ur project ooo

Yes is more possible and make sure you give it to professional workers to avoid affecting pop, they need to be extra ordinary careful, use the good quality of roof sheet, don’t do it in raining season, I think we’re in August break already.
