it is not price. 300k is over charge. I can even do it for 260k with nothing coming to my pocket as a contractor

1) Please how many partitions does this 5k daily pay(service/mason) collect?
2) Kindly post some of these plastering jobs your mason/service men have done.

A 12 by 12 room will cost you 8k, thats means the four rooms will cost you 32k before you move to other areas of the house

To all member here, let me drop this here before i stop arguing about the quote the op brought here.

ALHAJI MUFUTA and all others concerned member needs to sanitized this tread before it will go south.

I dont claimed to be mr know it all, i dont know anything, all God knows things all.

But some peoples that do comes here to mislead people here which cleint(s) which few client will now beleived that some engr reap them off ( although some builder, engr, qs are bad) but we still have so many good profectionals here and outside here but due to some NON profectionals QUOTE, TALK, here make some of these profectionals always come to ready and move away without giving any VALUABLE COMMENTS again.

How can someone says that 250K WILL plaster 4BEDROOMS DUPLEX NOW A DAYS.

Just recently a member here gave me 4 bedroom duplex to palstered he is an Engr too.
The cost is more than 900k.( labour only)
Profectional knows that size of building determine the cost.
Single room in the said building was plastered by 4 Masons, (very big space/height). I have done 4 bedroom duplex for 1m plus, some 700k plus so all depends on size and location.

Now I get why you are trying so hard to defend the price. Surprisingly out of everyone that commented on this, you are the only one defending the qouted sum. Are you saying you are the only professional here? BTW this is an open forum, why you come de carry the matter for head like gele? I have said my peace .

timesup234:
i plaster two unit of 3 bedroom flats for 150k. Just say you dont know instead of assuming

Which location?

timesup234:

Great.
By this your price and the previous quoted of 5k, it means the mason/service man collects probably 6k/2k per room. That's about 2k per partition (mason/service man).
So If you say 5k(mason/service man) as daily pay. It translates to just 2 partitions.
Or is there something I'm not understanding?

Also does this price include dressing of doors and windows internal?

I would very much like if you post pix of this great works.

Oga,
There's no need to argue the price. They are the ones doing the job.

Let them say how much is per partition or if its daily pay, how many partitions make up that pay?
And how many partitions are in the said duplex?


About 2013, my carpenter charged me 120k for roofing wood work/nogging for a simple 3 bedroom apartment. We used aluminium long span.
I told client. He called a friend in Benin who gave him someone who charged 60k. They drove down from Benin to Bayelsa. They were just 3. I got their quotes, purchased wood same day and they started work at about 2pm. They worked extra 3 days. The client paid hotel for them, the head man 5k room and the other stayed in a 3k room together.

OK while we are here deliberating on the reasonableness of Mason charges for plastering, I need a quotation for plastering this 4 bed room duplex plus a small room and a bq. The house is built on approximately 200 Sqm. It is a portable house and am attaching the Pic here. Sorry it is not that clear. The location is inside an estate at warewa, before Arepo

In order to give a quote, the sizes of each room should be known.
Quotes are giving in number of partitions or per area of coverage(SQM) for both internal and external walls.

On the issue of plastering, there is a normal plastering and there is guage plastering.

Sometimes the walls may not be straight and you may want the plaster guy to correct these block laying and casting mistakes. Sometimes may require chiselling and filling.

Some may require the use of range and pieces of tiles for leveling so as to achieve ruler straight walls and edges. All these are involved in the costing.

700k is actually on the high side, but not too much. No doubt 200k can do the same amount of job but the quality will definitely be different, well you have to be sure of what the higher quote guy can do.

Look at the dressing of the concrete fascia attached. You will notice tiles at intervals used to take guage then a range is used to smoothen. Even before the final dressing, the lines are already straight. You won't expect to achieve this with 250k.esp when you expect them to take their time.

Good write - up. I am however of the opinion that price is not always a function of the quality of the work. Price is sometime determined by the negotiating powers of the parties involved.

Most time when you approached a lawyer to prepare a deed of assignment for you, you are always tempted to conclude that the lawyer who charges more is more competent, but that is not truly the case.


The price is a function of the bargaining powers of the parties. The location no doubt plays an important role.

So what's the output of work per day at this rate?
You are a paying client and you're supposed to be more explicit with numerous jobs done.

see contractors trying hard to defend outrageous prices!!!
even some clients too are justifying outrageous prices they paid for plastering so they dont feel bad!
The truth is lagos especially lekki and environs prices are overhyped! simple and short!
contractors and workers are so spoilt in those areas. The funny thing is everyone is a contractor, even the masons and carpenters...nothing like daily pay! its terrible.
Some body is telling you in benin he paid daily rate and got it cheaper and plastered the same house you plastered in lagos with your entire life savings! you all are still arguing.

There has to be a standard for labour pricing, so we dont under-price workers and over-price clients. Funny enough there are more supply of labour in lagos than anywhere else, yet our prices are still roof-high.
@goodfaith,

i sent you a pm.

i have a project in ibeju lekki that am about to plaster, a 4bedroom duplex and a twin 2bedroom flat. i try to avoid labour from that lekki/ ibeju lekki axis, from experience , so i decided to cross water and get one from ikorodu. when the guy give me bill, i was in shock!.

1.65m internal external and fence!!. (i am pretty sure he saw the size of the building and ofcos the building was in lekki/ibeju lekki axis)

i told him if i see any client give him that kind of money for plastering, i myself will go and learn how to plaster. after a month he is begging for 700k! i still feel i can get it cheaper.

we grind hard for this money.
