[quote author=n3xt post=45508520]The figure quoted is not too much for any type of foundation adopted.

Just find out if all the items mentioned below are included in the scope of work (assuming it's a strip foundation):

1. Setting out
2. Excavation
3. Blinding
4. Preparation of Column Base
5. Starter Bars reinforcement
6. Foundation blocks
7. Formwork for the starter bars
8. Sandfilling
9. Surface treatment (Compacting, Laying of Damproof Membrane, Blinding, Mesh reinforcement etc)
10. DPC formwork
11. Rough-in pipe work for mechanicals
12. Pouring of the DPC concrete.

I'm 100% confident that the estimate given is not for a raft foundation.

Also find out the height of the foundation because if it includes materials, labour and supervision, you need to be sure of what you're walking into.

No matter how much of compromise your contractor is willing to make on this build, he will definitely need to make provision for the following if not more:

1. Granite - 150k
2. Sand (4) - 160k
3. Iron rod (1 ton) - 130k
4. Rings and binding wires - 20k
5. Cement (180 bags) - 270k
6. Blocks based on the partitions and 4 block height (1500 pcs) - 240k
7. Planks and Nails - 50k
8. Sandfilling - ??
9. Plumbing materials - ??
10. Miscellanous (DPM, etc) - ??

Please what if someone want to build 4 standard bedroom flat?

Please this is a plan of a house am building and am currently not in Nigeria to see how things are going.But the Engineer handling it gave me a quotation of 2M from Foundation to DPC ( German floor) he's labour and supervision is included on the amount..... He said materials will cost about 1.4M and while his labour and supervision will cost 600K making it a total sum of 2 M .... So what I want to know now is if the 600k for labour/supervision from just foundation to DPC ( German floor) is okay or is too much Please advice and suggestion needed.

You should hire a Quantity Surveyor.

Hey, @Tossen, how far madam? grin

Cheap is expensive, that cost is not much, I took time to read many comments and I noticed a lot of quacks. Please sir I suggest u bargain with your engineer for a slash of 100k except you want him to do shoddy jobs for you. If u are in doubt of the cost, u can invovle ur family members who will buy the materials, pay the labourers den you pay ur engineer the supervision fee of 200k hw about that.

From your write up,you do not have 100% confidence in your Engr to give you value for your money.In view of this, i will rather recommend that you consult any NIESV members company with your brief. They can get you property with C of O which can easily be verified.That we give you peace of mind than going through all the stages of construction.

2m to foundation? u don't have a brother or nephew who can @ least get change frm d workmanship? this is more like a three day work, I wouldn't want 2 spoil my colleague contract but negotiate a bit, IT'S TOO much, from d plan, ds is a renting house, 2 rooms n parlour, so u don't even need a heavy German floor,

Cost is dependent on location, design of the building and the terrain (dry or waterlogged)

Cost is 1.4m, and his supervision is 600K? shocked

How can he be charging almost 50% for his supervision? So if you end up spending 10m on the house, you will give him 5m for supervision? It's not done anywhere abeg.

Re: Can Someone Please Help Me With This ????? by kinibigdeal(m): 7:30am On May 11, 2016

So you expected a bill of 1m for both materials and labour

Materials won't cost more than 700-850k based on that plan. Workmanship varies according to location but for a place like Lagos which is the more expensive between the two cities I've experienced, it shouldn't cost more that 150-250k for 4-6 days of work.

brother, don't just jump into conclusion like that, u don't know the foundation type or thee section, all u see in the pic is excavation layout.... presenting handling a project like that now,although am nnot. in charge of material But with what we have use, nno be small thing

THE QUOTATION IS ALRIGHT I AM IN NIGERIA AND JUST SPENT 1.6M ON ONLY 5 BEDROOM DUPLEX GERMAN FLOOR
GUYS SAID EVERYTHING WILL BE 850K, BY THE TIME I STARTED BUY THIS BUY THAT, I SPENT 1.6M
THE GUYS QUOTING LESSER ARE NOT BUILDING, IN REAL PRACTICAL THE QUOTATION IS ALRIGHT.
HOWEVER YOU NEED SOMEBODY YOU CAN TRUST WHO WILL MAKE SURE THE ENGINEER BUY GOOD AND QUALITY MATERIALS.
