Is this better

Hi....
this is a ROUGH ESTIMATE using approximate values and a ground beam height of 1200mm (MINUS COMPULSORY FILLING to the footing in and out)

3.5 MILLION (send pics of the site, tag me) note: filling could be a added million.

Goodluck;

N3.5m won't finish that foundation.
What parameters did you use.

5bedroom duplex On a Waterlogged land .?

Filling of the land let's say 500sqm . With the use of a payloader and compactor.would cost at least 1m.

Filling of the foundation too@1200mm high.-11 trips of 30tonnes sharp sand.

BUDGET should be N5 - 6m.

Good morning house, So a friend got this quote for the woodwork of the roofing of his project. He just recently discovered that his engineer has been steadily ripping him off by quoting excess materials up to this stage. I felt I should bring this here for proper vetting. Is the material and pricing fair enough. The king post if 14ft high. Thanks

First thing
send a second and third carpenter there for just material and labor price
Get other people to check the prices of wood for you

Don't let the contractor or carpenter buy your wood
If the roof work is in Benin Carpenter labor should be 90 to 100k
4 bags of nails for what?
I forget carpenters will be putting some of the nails in their pocket and take it home
to go sell at Lagos street useless people

Also, the rate provided is not among these: COLEMAN, NIGERCHIN and KABELMETAL. Price of cables prsently is more than that. Some of the rate are low compare to recent increase.

Thanks for your kind response sir. Yes there's a drawing but CCTV, TV and Inverter separation connections were not included in it. The decision to include those came at the last minute after the drawing.

Sir,
Rather than strike out my opinion (next time) share yours and let the OP decide which to take.

1. Building Length approx 20m, width approx 10m = volume of floor = 30m3 @ 40k / m3 = 1.2m (labour and material inclusive, rebar measured separately.

2. Approx length of ground beam = 100m, height 1.2m and thickness = 0.225mm = 27m3 = 1.08m (ditto)

3. Approx tonnage of rebar = 3.5T @ 200k = 700k + labour @ 25k per tonne = 90k = TOTAL 790K

4. Carpenter labour = 120k approx

5. lets allow 150 planks of 1by12 and a few 2x2 = 240k

ADD ALL = N3,430,000:00K

I also added that allow 1m for filling

TOTAL = 4.4Million

whatever his miscellaneous is wasn't my concern....

NOW, I'LL ASK YOU THE SAME QUESTION YOU ASKED ME:

What parameters did you use. TO GET 6M...

(OP only gets more accurate result if he shares his Structural drawings for height of ground beam and Rebars used)

Parameters

-Young man, Labour would always cost more on a water logged land compared to dryland.

-Apart from the ground beam, you forgot to add calculation for the raft itself.
The ground beam sits on a raft.

-Apart from filling of land , what of filling of the foundation? Hardcore?

Filling of land (600mm(thick).lets say 500sqm
500 x 0.6m= 300cum x 1600 = 480,000kg/30,000
= 16trips.
16 x N60,000 = 960,000 + cost of payloader& operator N300k(Max of today's work)= N1.26m total


-Cost of labour for filling the foundation with sharp sand..
-Cost of compaction.

-What percentage did you set aside for preliminary works on the foundation?
(site storage
, borehole,
omonile,
security .etc)

-Labour would cost you more than 120k for steel works..

-Finally, there's more to building estimate, than just multiplying quantities against unit price.
Experienced builders and engineers can attest to this.

-Experience has thought me that on water logged land projects where there was no soil test done , no structural drawings. You should always Budget more for the unforseen, because so many issues would arise that has to be dealt with.
That's why I always add a percentage for contingency to all my estimates.

Item 7 on the list proved his estimates are over exaggerated. (Two TV wires at max)

If you feel his experienced enough and you want his services.
Buy these items yourself or go with him and buy in lesser quantity than he demanded.
Watch them when they work... Ensure you have eyes on the exit of your property... Watch them enter and leave (because some of them are good at smuggling materials into nearby bushes)

lols. I don't make bullet proof doors oh. At least not with the price range I gave you. To make bullet proof doors, you need at least 6mm pan. How many walls will be able to hold such weight.

But yes, I do make beautiful doors which are also strong and durable. I won't be able to upload pictures here cause many are more than 5mb in size. If you can WhatsApp me on the contact I dropped earlier, I can send you more pictures
