I love your professionalism. What is your price for a drum of primer?

I can vouch for Gbadexy's product and customer service 100%. Amongst all the NL contractors, he has proven himself beyond reasonable doubts. Even if he is a little bit more expensive compared to others, it is worth the extra cost.

Thanks for the endorsement ma'am, I really appreciate it.
I produce to international standard and try to match reputable big brands at a far competitive cost that's why the matte, satin and silk are actually washable as claimed and the premium grade emulsion and texture more durable.

Dear Aĺl,
There are conflicting views on which approach is more durable and weather resistant for screeding;
1. Premixed putty local/ imported
2. Fresh mix cement, top bond and mould.
3. Premix putty plus added top bond.
One of these 3 must produce the most durable quality finish.
Thank you all

Labour cost....

Material cost......

Every other thing seems fair enough.

Thanks for the input sir, was wondering which of the quotation is high I presume the quantity he listed since you seem to agree with the price which is dependent on the type of cable

The first photo is the original achitechtural design of the building. The building is a dedicated block of six flats. So the total cost is for two soakaway system; one at back of the building, one at the front.

The second photo is an improved modification of the original achitechtural design. So it is a three Chambers system.

The third photo is the total cost for the two soakaway. So just over 300k for one.

Look carefully at the final outcome, you would notice that the soakaway was beamed with columns. This added to final cost.

l've just done mine last two weeks the electrical quoted almost the same quote with yours.
In short l will advise you to reduce the number of wires that he quoted where he wrote 20 buy 17 ,where he wrote 10 buy 8 do that to others too and made sure you are around with them when the work is going on if they need more you will buy more .

I was able to save over N300k after completing the job.
On the workmanship it just to much try and cut in between N180-200k.
Best of Luck.
