I think you need to work on this principle. You did something similar to me when I asked to help me check the quotation I got for protectors.

Considering the fact that we are all here to help each other, I think if you see someone being ripped off, you should be able to say something.

Personally, I believe that workmen shouldn't get a penny from the materials that they quote. Include what ever gain you want to make in your workmanship.

It's for this same reason 2 roofers lost their contract with me. In addition to their workmanship, they inflated the measurement for the roof to include an extra 100k. They didn't expect me to go straight to the company and ask for an installer.

So, my brother. I think you should be able to review. There should be a charge for workmanship there. This guy should not be ripped off on materials as well. Thanks.

N750 or N7500.. I don't think 750naira can buy a bundle of pipe. Maybe the person bought length

20mm is ₦7500 dignity

spyder880:


Niger pipes are very costly, a bundle costs N19,000 in December when I asked last. Other brands are selling for about N10,000 to N12,000. I bought 50 bundles last month because I fear a price hike soon. The one I bought is Vee Tec.

But, niger pipes are longer than most pipes, more flexible and doesn't depress under iron mat pressure. (Only when you are using it in a decking slab) if you are not using the pipes on a decking slab, go for cheaper options like dignity and others.

Thanks.
Happy New year.

The price is too high. The price of 20mm original DIGNITY pipe 7500 in the market presently.

EgunMogaji2:


I don’t understand this.

when you ask a welder the number of angle iron it will cost to do a job, he's likely going to inflate the number.


For instance, the quotation in question,he asked for four tins of paint. The job below is far bigger than the one in question and it cost just a single tin of paint.

I asked an electrician to do a minor job for me:
Quotation (Jan 2nd, 2021).

2 bundles of 20mm pipes (N21000 each): N42,000
1 pkt 20mm coupling. N1500
1 pkt 1 way box. N1500
1 tin of gum 1200

When did a bundle of 20mm plastic pipe reach N21,000? Brand: Niger pipe.

what part of the country is this!? Lagos 7500 for a bundle which contain 25pieces... in the east it usually 45pieces per bundle which cost between 10 to 15k

Good day everyone. I want to clear something up. Every businessman have his or her own principle and terms of working. If you ask for my opinion on the cost of doing a job and the materials you think will be enough, I can help you with that but asking me to review a quotation of another welder is something I will NEVER do. I don't know what he intends to do and how he intends to achieve it.

Some quotation maybe over bloated not because the welder or artisan intends to rip off the client but because costing the materials it will take to complete a job is something many can't do. That's why quantity surveyors help engineers. Y'all will agree with me that most artisans are barely literate to communicate in english and we're talking about mathematics here. Sometimes it's innocent mistake and other times greed. Either way, it's not my duty to point out which for anyone.

You have to factor also that the cost of materials and living differ from place to place. A single door I can make with #20,000 costs above #35,000 in Lagos.

Having said the above, I regret any inconveniency it causes this forum and its established guidelines. Enjoy the new year

Anambra State.

I guess Nigerpipe is expensive based on Spyder880's corroboration. There is another brand named Tiger that goes for N15k per bundle.

rotecch77:


You are right.

Once old foundation and the block or brick is ok then you are good to go.

Total cost then was about 4m

The bolded is true, but if the foundation is not good, then you have to start from the beginning.

Happy new years sir/ma. I'm Electrical engineer by profession.. I don't no if I can work for your company. In times of wirering houses. Any the type of wirering. Both overhead wirering. I'm installing of Pol

The bolded is true, but if the foundation is not good, then you have to start from the beginning.

Yes, but at times if part of the foundation is faulty it can be re- strengthening by underpinning methods.
With this you don’t need total demolition

michlins:
why I can't review quotation is because location and price differs from place to place. There are discrepancies on the prices of materials I saw there but I am not buying these and don't understand the local market to be able to determine whether they're high or low.

Another thing is that when I give someone a quotation, I will tell you the total cost my labor inclusive. Asking for the individual number of materials is where you get ripped off.

You will agree with me that the price of materials at your location was far expensive from what is obtainable in my location that you even suggested that I source some of the materials for you from my end.

Yes, you are right. I see where you are coming from. You could have stated that you can't review the quotation because of price discrepancies. Thanks.

He has clarified his reasons. Look at it from this angle. A few weeks ago, I posted the quotation I was given for plastering and the person requested for 110 bags of cement for a 3 bedroom in addition to nearly 300k as workmanship. Spyder880 said it was far too much. Someone else came to quote and we arrived at 60 bags.

Now, imagine I didn't bring it here or didn't get external opinion or someone said he can't review the quote because he won't be the one to handle the job.

I hope you understand my point now.
Have a nice day sir.

sir this is something I can not do. Review the quotation of another person job. He's the person working and knows what he needs. If you think it's too high, check another person and review.

Thanks for your understanding

Okay, let's take it from another angle. Will you be willing to take up this project, 4ft by 4ft by 25ft? Location is Ikorodu, Lagos.
