Please, give us the breakdown for the cost of wood used and roofing sheets used.

Did you use 0.45mm or 0.55mm Long Span Aluminium?

This is a fantastic work you did.

Just a little busy, but i will try and give a brief detail of the measurement of the long span aluminium for the covering.

The measurement was taking after i finished the roofing carcass, so that we can get accurate measurement, this house as a case study is 3 bedroom and 4 bedroom flat together under one roof.

The total aluminium square meters that will cover this roofing alone excluding the ceiling cladding, facial flashing, eave angle, valley gutter, angle ridge caps, wall trimmer or wall tape is 496 square meters.

I will give more details when i come back, I'm really busy but I must just answer you, please try to understand.

quote me anyway and let your carpenter also quote me, this quotation is outrageous and your carpenter sound like a like criminal, firstly there is nothing like semi hardwood, what we have is either full sizes or solo sizes. I supply full sizes and full length that is measurable.

Secondly your house has a parapet roofing design and you are using a stone coated roofing sheets, i know this because of your kingpost of 18ft.

Thirdly your house measurement is 54 ft by 33 ft because we measure wood in foot.

so below is your quotation for this project.



3x4x12 (25 pcs) for wall plate @ N800 per rate

2x4x12 (300 pcs) for tie beam and rafters @ N500 Per rate

2x2x12 (480 pcs) for nogging and purlin @ N300

2x6x12 (10 pcs ) for your king post @ N800

Labour N160, 000

Note, for this quotation i stand upright and i can defend it anywhere.

i will be glad if you consider a fellow nairaland to serve and deliver unquestionable, quality and profesional service in this regards.

Oga Hajji Mufutau, nobody want to die.

I think i'm ok serving the SW, SE, SS, for now, till the fire burning in the north cease from burning.

Not to deviate from your question, professionally it will be advisable to finish the roofing frame work, then we can take the physically measurement of the roofing frame work to get the accuracy measurement of require roofing sheets that will cover this house, especially when there is no roofing plan, it's easier to calculate number of woods needed to roofing a house if you get the accurate length, breadth and height of the roofing, than to calculate the roofing sheet, but because i have done a roofing similar to this type of roof recently with same height and differences of about 10 ft in length and breadth, and the roof had been covered with stone coated sheets, which is same roofing sheet propose for this roofing in study.

The roofing sheets that will be require to cover this house will be 431 square meters with plus or minus 10%.
