The attached plan seem like a two floor build, as I can see stairs. Why is there no reinforcement included in the quote?

Hello people,

Is a BRC wire mesh or some sort of reinforcement required to make coping above a parapet wall.

See attached picture for a sample.

One engineer says just high proportion of cement with sand will do while the other says BRC is required.

Thanks

I got a different quote for the reinforcement covering cost of iron and welder's labor, carpentry. Cement, sand and granite will be sorted on-demand. The bricklayer isn't charging anything extra for the reinforcement.

The guy I quoted enquired cement for setting I.e block laying, not moulding. I don't know if that's what u meant sir.
If your statement is for moulding, then the 45 and 60 are too much for 6inch & 5 inches respectively.

Please is he going to set more block apart from the 3000 block? Because even though he set 80 block per day it we give us 3000/80=37.5* let Say by 5000 per 80 per day which is much = 187,500 so how come how come 300k?

First, the workmanship gives awhole lot of over-quoting concerns.

Cost of setting 3000 blocks is #150,000
Foundation excavation is reasonable at #35,000
Lintels, all the lintels on this plan is less than 2 cum of concrete.

I advise you seek the services of a QS or a CM at least, it's going to cost you professional fees but it's going save construction cost amongst other benefits

The 1st thing is that a bricklayer doesn’t permitted to handle building construction, that asides.

The quotation the said bricklayer gave you is very wrong. ( although QS is the one to do this).

Error No1. The blocks is far below needed quantities for this project.

Error No2 The cement is far below the quantities needed also for this structure.

Error No3 No provision for over-site concrete ( German floor) according to your bricklayer quote. Who does that for a STORY BUILDING. Expect non professional.

Error No4 The quantities of the granite 15 tones for the whole building is to SMALL . This quantity Can not take you beyond foundation level.
let me stop here for now.

My conclusion and recommendations is this I will advise you to look for a professional BUILDER to handle this your project not because I’m a BUILDER , but to safe you from building error which can result to building collapse in nearest future (God forbid).

You can never regret any amounts of money you will spend ( but spend wisely) on this project if a professional handle it for you.

Hi nairalanders, am new here. Signed up today.
I will need little advice though, am a student( just 23) and I bought some plots of land in iyana oba after LASU. Lagos state at a location that's have opened up with everything (God's doing). My initial plan was to fence the 3plot and leave it for long term to appreciate. I thought it was an expenses of probably 500k. After proper analysis. It's an estimate of 1.5mil(both with casting and all in all). Like a standard fence.

Am paying 500k house rent for my parents yearly and some other little house expenses and am in my finals so would still start paying for another house for myself after school.

SO am thinking if I can DREAM of building a house for myself and putting my parents there till all things are good to build another or do bigger project or I should just fence the 3 plot and still keep paying house rent for them.

My budget is 1.5m to start with if I want to start building a 3 bedroom flat and good thing there is that the seller has already done foundation in 1plot. So foundation cost is out of the equation cos it's been covered in the payment of the land.

I need an advice.
Though the seller adviced me to start from where he stopped.
I don't need to seek my parents or family advice on this cos it's actually a YES answer for me to build the house.

So I need an outsider advice

Hi bros,
I prefer you tell us your opinion (if any) instead of the above. Yet I won't dispute your post bcs of it value sr. I must tell you I am not a practicing engineer/builder but keep on reading/following what people say/do on forum like here. I have read very well where 6" block moulding placed at 45 and I have this done on my site perfectly no single block was broked in the cause of setting it.

Oga Spyder post bellow can do me favor.
