For my building, the fellow handling my stuff said I will need 200 bags and 480k workmanship. For Ilorin fa!!!


I now decided this method below for labour cost.

Plastering Pattern
Internal Platering
Day 1 = 2 rooms & toilets
Bricklayers = 5
Labourers = 2

Day 2 = internal lobbies
Bricklayers = 5
Labourers = 2

Day 3 = Master Bedroom & Toilets
Bricklayers = 4
Labourer = 2

Day 4 = Landry, Store & Kitchen
Bricklayers = 4
Labourers = 2

Day 5 = Guest Room, toilet, ante room & toilet
Bricklayers = 4
Labourers = 1

Day 6 = Palour & Dining
Bricklayers = 5
Labourers = 2

Total Cost = 85,000
Bricklayers = 27 @ 2500 = 67,500
Labourers = 11 @ 1500 = 17,500

External Plastering
Day 1 = Left Side
Bricklayers = 6
Labourers = 2

Day 2 = Right Side
Bricklayers = 6
Labourers = 2

Day 3 = Front and Back
Bricklayers = 4
Labourers = 2

Total Cost = 50,000
Bricklayers = 16 @ 2500 = 40,000
Labourers = 6 @ 1500 = 9,000

For the cement and sands, I took my time to calculate this:
Room Dimensions
Internal Plastering = 70 bags
Mixing ratio = 1:6
1 bag of cement and 12 head pans
1.Internal Lobby 10.7 ➕ 2.2 ✖ 2 = 25.8 = 7 bags =14 dust & 70 plaster
2.Other toilet(2) = 2 ➕ 1.7 ✖ 4 = 14.8 = 4 bags = 8 dust & 40 plaster
3.Room lobby = 3.6 ➕ 1.2 = 4.9 = 2 bags = 4 dust & 20 plaster
4.External lobbies (2) = 1.2 ➕ 3.0 ✖ 2 = 8.4 = 3 bags = 6 dust & 30 plaster
5.V/T = 6 ➕ 1= 7 = 2 bags = 4 dust & 20 plaster
6.Ante 6 ➕ 4 = 10 = 3 bags = 6 dust & 30 plaster
7. Parlor 5.0 ➕ 5.4 ✖ 2 = 20.8 = 6 bags = 12 dust & 60 plaster
8.Dining 3 ➕ 3.5 ✖ 2 =13 = 4 bags = 8 dust & 40 plaster
9.Kitchen 3 ➕ 4 ✖ 2 =14 = 4 bags = 8 dust & 40 plaster
10.V-Room 3.8 ➕ 3.5 ✖ 2 =14.6 = 4 bags = 8 dust & 40 plaster
11. Other room(2) 3.4 ➕ 3.6 ✖ 4 = 28 = 8 bags = 16 dust & 80 plaster
12. GT 1.2x2.4 closet 1.2x1.2≠5 = 1.2 ➕ 3.6 ✖ 2 = 9.6 = 3 bags = 6 dust & 30 plaster
13.Master closet = 1.8 ➕ 2.1= 4 = 1 bag = 2 dust & 10 plaster
14.Master room = 3.9 ➕ 5.8 ✖ 2 = 20 = 6 bags = 12 dust & 60 plaster
15.Master toilet = 3 ➕ 2.1 ✖ 2 =10.2 = 3 bags = 6 dust & 30 plaster
16.Laundry = 8 ➕ 1.6= 9.6 = 3 bags = 6 dust & 30 plaster
17.Store = 8 ➕ 1.5= 9.5 = 3 bags = 6 dust & 30 plaster
18. Main veranda = 3 = 1 bag = 2 dust & 10 plaster

External Plastering = 35 bags
Mixing ratio = 1:4
Back of building = 11.6 = 7 bags = 14 dust & 42 plaster
Kitchen side = 19.6 = 10 bags = 20 dust & 60 plaster
Master room side = 22.2 = 11 bags = 22 dust & 66 plaster
Front of building = 5.5 = 3 bags = 6 dust & 18 plaster

Please note that this price is Ilorin based. I don't know how they charge in your own location. Please factor that into your calculations.

yes according to them the rate is different because it's very difficult to use

Noting difficult there so far they are mixing it with plaster sand.
Actually if it’s to be used only (not commonly used this way) then the rate will be more a little just because it’s dry quickly, if 1st apply on the wall btw 30min it will dry up so it will be difficult to Smooth btw that time (30-40min)

But here you are mixing it with plaster sand so nothing difficult there.

we are actually using sharp sand only and no mixing with mud as we don't have pure plaster sand.
Even as such the estimate is high and I need to renegotiate with them or sack them and bring a new team

It really didn’t spoil the aesthetics. It just brought mixed feelings and made the build a subject of attention.

The beholder in this case are the guests/visitors/patrons (online and offline) and not the owner.
That’s one part most people don’t get right in commercial builds. It’s not always about what you want but what your customers want.

Bearing in mind that those customers include me, you can see why it is not difficult for the owner to insist on leaving the design as it is, knowing that as an abstract design, it would appeal to very many people. Mere looking at it, one can tell they are not there as a load bearing structure rather a default piece of art. I share the owners thought.

U sent this but when ur later called for it , did u supply it , after several calls put to u , u came up with 225k as ur best price . So why didnt u supply the 175k u mentioned since its bargain price and i suddenly left it to buy granite for 180k .i thought any homeowner will jump into the best offer .What happened to yours ??Ur only using that to lure customers then tell them the home truth about ur price .its u that will diy young as what ever u wish for others is definitely ur portion.

Oh OK! Thanks for your response sir.

It has been done severally. Check various threads of Spyder880 for samples. You dont install the ceiling fan directly on the POP, rather on roofing wood or if decking on a specialized hook incorporated into the concrete slab during decking process. Thanks.

Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by Abolarin91(m): 10:47pm On Sep 06, 2020
OK, thanks for your input.
Dennis3D:


I just did one recently. It doesn't have any effect on POP If it's done well. POP doesn't carry ceiling fan. Only the fan hook on decking or on wall pate or roof beam does.

See picture below. Did this on a 25yr old building recently just two weeks ago. See my thread for full project pictures...

One of the reason you said we... kontinu

Oga did u remember this price being sent to u when u quoted sand of10tons for 45k. U claimed as usual that all that suppliers are cheating . This inquiry was made as someone was consulting u over sand supply but u didnt know am involved . U posted this price quote as if u are the one that wrote the information and pasted on nairaland few days back . I choose to keep calm when i saw it cos i know whoever deals with u is doing so at his own risk . Your matter na buyer beware .My Quote, when she asked in March i gave her 175k buy 60tins get 15tons free.

June price change to This
Granite 3200x30tons=96k
Transportation =120k
Tollgate & Revenue=4k

I bet any reasonable supplier to contest this.

Sand i gave her 70k for 30tons after raft foundation
My price
Sand13tons @33k+7ton @22k=55k(No chines truck carry up to this) but because if i am her terrain i will quickly deliver & leave i charged transpotation 15k making it 70k.

I beg ooo supplier in the house where have i done her wrong ooo. My granpapa no settle for Lagos say make me the grand child come build your house now...

I think this is cheaper compare to concrete slab (reduction of reinforcement). It is called honey-comb floor. I stand to be corrected...

In few hours, I’ll kickstart a fresh interlocking brick project. The total area is 420sqm and the thickness is 8cm.

Tag along as I show you how to manage your interlocking brick flooring project and also reveal some of the less-known things related to such a big project.

It’s all pretty easy when you understand how to simplify everything in your project and save big but as a newbie that leaves you with plenty of details to figure out.

#WhenTheoryMeetsPractice

Target Audience: those who want to live large yet save big on their project grin
Those who believe life must be unbearable for every owner-builder and those who have a problem for every solution should just ignore my posts

Pls feel free to ask questions.

420sqm Dogbone Interlocking Project

Today, I ordered 2 x 30 tons Truck of Stone Dust. I was offered N70k which is fine by me.
Should anyone know where I can get a better deal, please kindly dm me, I still need more.

I’m also making arrangements to ship in 2500 pcs of 8cm interlocking mold and some quantities of flower kerbs mold to Ibadan tomorrow.

We’re looking at completing the production within 8 working days barring unforeseen challenges.

It is. That's why the client opted for another option. Coz to do the kitchen alone would have costed over 500K for just tiles only... By the square meter required

Which makes me to ask “Must we tile all the kitchen or just the wet areas?”

If yes, why?

I didn’t do that in my personal build and Buhari has not arrested me and I’ve never had to complain about using very expensive tiles.

I have the dry and wet areas in the kitchen.

Pic 1 & 2 shows the wet and the dry area.
