Dear All,

Please can someone help me with the cost for digginga pair of soak-away (big & small) in Atan Area of Ogun State?

I'll also like to know the total cost German flooring for a building in Sokenu Area of Atan, Ogun State. I have attached the plan for the building in the dropbox link below for your reference. I need a detailed cost analysis including materials and labour cost.

Cost detail is very stressful only if you need a rough estimate.but if you don't mind you can contact me cos I have a project I'm handling presently at fashogbon after The bells in Otta,I can come help take a look at the site,do the material market survey there and cost it out for you.

Thank you Aventures,
The dimension of the building is 23,190mm by 9,300mm (175.4 Sqm) this house is relatively small hence my doubt.
His total rebar quantities are:

2.5 tonnes of 16mm @ 160k par tonne = 400k
4 tonnes of 12mm @ same price = 640k
2 tonnes of 10 mm @ same price = 320k
3/4 tonnes of 8mm @ same price = 120k
Labour 150k
Total ==== N1,630,000 for Rebars alone oooo

well, I just collected the quotation yesterday and too vex to even call him for any negotiation.

The quote is way off the mark get a second opinion u shudnt be using more than 3.5 tone of reinforcement in total for the project All the best sir.

johnson232:

Rather than talk politics on this thread, let us talk about the politics of building materials pricing. Did you all notice that building materials manufacturers has formed a strong cartel and are milking us all to death since the last 2 years? It started with Dangote, Lafarge, Bua and Ibeto agreeing to unify their prices so none of them can reduce to create a competition that will benefit the masses and hurt their bottom line.

Now, rod makers have been alleged to meet and fix selling prices so as to benefit them, that is the reason for the recent increases across board in costs from all rods manufacturers in the last 2 weeks. What is the minister for science and industry doing to alleviate the pains of the masses, do e just fold our hands and watch instead of finding solutions to this high prices?

Sent you a mail.

akinolaolujide:
16mm 1.5tones
12mm 1.5 tones
10mm .5 for rings i will agree with the labour for various reasons.

I doubt at the bold sir....
I think it is safer for an engineer to estimate the bold at 2tones each, making it 4 tones.

Also 0.5tone for 10mm would be nice if it can just go for 1tone

Reinforcement makes a duplex different from a bungalow...

What inflated the quote was the 8mm rods...don't know his reasons for that.
Negotiating the
16mm 2.5tones to 2tones
12mm already 2 tones
10mm 2tones to 1tons.
Would have been a good one for me ooo
Iron bender labour to me was cool....Some even charge as high as 200k
But just wanted to see if d guy could beat it down to 120k

I understand your fears boss but my estimations are based on the drawings and the experience doing construction and supervising projects. Plus i can assure you cant even use all the rods u will still have left obers. The 12mm was 4tons i think. I feel that is way way too much for a 174sqm
Rule of thumb states 0.7-1.2% steel to concrete volume ratio though its not applicable in all situations but foe residential projects its well applicable and far sufficient depending on other factors other than steel.
Regatds.

In my own personal judgement on my site I will consider it expired when it starts lifting, leakky, faded, etc

Frankly, I would rip the whole shyte off now and redo it but my Wife won't have anything to do with that.

Maybe Skimanski, AbdulWastecx, KolaShangOne might chime in. I've heard 35/50 years banded about on here.

So na your wife dey control you? Na wa o, big man like you

This thread has gone beyond the "baby level" of asking questions that have already been answered over and over in previous pages!
If you need answers to simple questions, dont be too lazy to read through the pages and sift your answers from there.
It is only when you are still stuck that people should respond to your S.O.S

We have talked about ROOF, God knows how many times (I still remember a particular time when Flat Roof Vs. Heaped Roof was a topic for over three days. its still there in those back pages but some people just want to be spoon-fed at every turn.

Anyone who cannot stomach a "complete learning experience" and just want to come here to repeat questions that have already been answered, should just lie-low or log-off during those periods when mature people look at "the bigger picture".

EgunMogaji:
I said as much that before.

The questioner threw a pansy fit (of course, ego things) and some of my old friends activated their alternate userid and came forth to lash out wildly like uncoordinated drunk sailors

Lets not make excuses for Both the Jonathan and Buhari Regime. They have both failed Woefully

The Irony of this is that they both had genuine intentions to grow the economy, but they at thesame time wanted to help their caucus and as a result have gone through the wrong course. Nigeria is like a messed up fuel station during fuel scarcity, where in the morning everybody goes to the station for fuel, arrange their selves on line and prepare to wait till it gets to his/her turn, and all of a sudden one guy comes from no where and wants the gate to be open for him to buy first, regardless of the human beings like him/her that's been on the cue, as a result all hell breaks loose and the line is scattered and never ever arranges it self until someone highly intelligent with a working plan can come save the situation.

Jonathan wanted to turned the country around but his cabinets and his senate didn't allow. Buhari same thing. yet they live in an era that has the only solution possible (Social Media). What happens if you as a president control your media. and tell the people of the country whats actually going on in your cabinet or senate. Tell everyone why the Power is not stabilizing, because of some greedy individual. why there are no refineries working. why not do the shame game on a lot of people. Until even the guys start feeling that they have to be careful for fear on revolt against them. Why not come out on TV and actually post for everyone to see in proper details the actual fat Allowances the senate guys are earning and push a revolt to end them. Instead because they still have little hidden agendas, they wont come out completely clean.

This thing is simple. Nigeria has a problem, it needs a solution. Solutions are calculated on Paper until you find the answer and once you do, you take the formula and apply in real life point by point. If during the application, you miss a little point because you have little hidden agenda and thinks its going to be solved, then sorry, you have to start again.

My Nephew and I got into a conversation on my last trip home. He feels like they are living large now in Ibadan with Shoprite and a few nightspots.

I had to tell him that before I left Ibadan there were:

Leventis
Kingsway
UTC - 2 stores
Queen Cinema
Odeon Cinema
Scala Cinema
KS Cinema
Zoo was a real zoo, not this one where the animals look underfed (who remembers Haruna the Gorila).
