Wishing you God's speed

eddybongo101:


Thanks, I'm done with d roofing, trying to commence the plastering. How Abt yours?

Joshcoli:


Good to hear

Price of materials are just skyrocketing
I never knew my roof will engulf more than a million, it's already costing me 1.3 for the woods and long span roofing sheet

The woods and workmanship is 550k
While roofing is costing 803k for a 0.45 long spand

Hoping by next month I will be done with the roofing

eddybongo101:


Good morning,
I spent 983k on my roofing, 0.45mm aluminum, wood work and labour.

I also spent 97k on plumbing piping work, material and labor inclusive.

#190k on electrical piping, material and labor inclusive.

I have plastering sand on site, my challenge is d price of cement, #3,900 per bag.

It has scattered my plans, cos if I was d usual #2,500 per bag, #50k will get me 20 bags.

I pray the price reduces .

More grease to ur elbow. It's not easy this period

Bros, shine your eyes for these aluminium guys in this country. "Flashing 54m, Cladding 62 units totalling 194,880. Hummn! This is where they kill and bury people alive. Am speaking from experience. They will collect such huge amount from you, then buy few Square meters and bend the required units and then pocket your hard earned money before your very eyes without you knowing what has happened. And as for the main roof, I can bet you it may not even be up to 280sqm. Am speaking from experience.

HEADYWORLD:
I was a victim too, those aluminium guys are thief ...

joycluv:
congratulations bros. Getting a roof over a house is not an easy thing nowadays. I just finished the roofing of a 3 bedroom bungalow yesterday but I didn't spend up to 650,000 naira for both wood work and roofing sheets installation with every single material inclusive in the 650,000. But the reason is this; (1). I had some trees which I cut and sawed, so I only bought few pieces of 2x4 to add up. (2). I used Cameroon Zinc instead of aluminium. (3). I negotiated the labour to the last kobo(70,000) for both wood work and roofing sheets installation). I know this may sound strange but it's real. In fact, I later realized that it is these "roofers" that are making roofing look like one big deal. Before I settled for Cameroon zinc, I called about two persons to measure the roof. One said it's 280sqm while flasheets is 97m. The second person said it's 268sqm while flat sheets is 76m. I became suspicious and asked them why the flat sheets are not measured in Sqm. The second guy was innocent enough to tell me their secrets. He told me point black that they use to increase the measurement to get some money and that they can never tell you the flat sheets measurement in Sqm because that is where they use to cut peoples throat. But after much persuations, he told me the exact Sqm of aluminium that will be needed for the flat sheets and that the actual roof measurement was 232sqm( though I didn't use aluminium again). And as for the flatsheets, I bought 64sqm of aluminium and they cut and bent them for both parapet, ridge caps and the rest. I paid 115,700 for everything. But remember that the first guy said it's 97m x 1850 per meter which will give 179,450. You can imagine how much they would have stolen from me and then make me think I used it for my roofing.
