Thanks boss.

Cc qsfemi

It's the floor plan that would determine the quantity of tiles needed. So, it advisable you post it.

Billyjim:
To the Gurus in the house, kindly help me to review the quotation given by a tiler for a 3 bedroom apartment. The workmanship is 250k which is not included in the quotation. Thanks

You're knowledgeable about purchase of tiles and that's a very good one.

I've said times without number here that buying cartons per carton is the best decision for informed clients.

Kudos.

MrOkenwa:
I bought some locally made tiles in Abeokuta ( victory and goodwill) 4 days ago.
The prices are given per carton, not sqm.

kitchen wall = 2900

Toilet wall = 2800

Toilet floor = {40*40} 3800

Kitchen floor = {40*40} 3800

Sitting room, entrance porch and rooms = {40*40} 4400(victory).
Goodwill is 4300. There are some for 3800, which are the plain ones.

Go and do the pricing yourself. If you go with your tiler and he's known to them at the outlet, they'll add 50 or 100 per carton for him. They added 100 for us but we were ahead of them. Imagine paying that for over 500 cartons. He doesn't need to give them any signal. Some tilers too loiter around the outlets too. If you involve them in selecting a good tiles and all that, the sales person might add the tiler's rebate to the price they'll give you.

I'm paying 400 naira per sqm.

At the bolded, are you sure?

Where's the 20% discount coming from?

Procarpenter:
ask me your quotation I’ll give you the best with 20% discount I work worldwide my work reliable I’ll make your house beautiful than what you expect thank

Kudos for the project.

For a project of this scale, it's advisable to have your own personal structural engineer and Quantity Surveyor to advise you as the project proceeds accordingly.

A structural engineer would advise on the structural integrity of what the contractor is doing on site with respect to the designs and variation during construction while a Quantity Surveyor would advise on construction cost during the construction process.

Well done.

Okay, i will do that . Thank you

OK.

What will it take you to visit the thread I shared if you think I'm avoiding your question?
I've been in this system been a while, I've lots of equipments from Block moulding Machine,weldering machines(Oga Michelin can testify) down to furniture machines that the only things I get are the materials.I personally handled most of the work if it's not much or I call my Men to handle the bunch works there.for your information,I'm starting another Project next month,stay tune pls...

Yes, including transportation.

Nosa111:
Including the transport ? Cause seems some are charging transportation separately

I've asked him this same question but apparently he's not willing to give the answer. I guess it's his business philosophy. Most real estate companies, from experience, would lure you in by hoarding full information on the financial obligations of their developments. It's when you're committed financially that you will get to know other hidden costs. It's what it's.

KolaShangOne:
So you're saying you will start a Two bedroom bungalow from foundation tull finishing for 4 million naira?

Can we have a breakdown in how much you will spend per milestone for education purposes?

-Foundation walls
-German flooring
-Blockwork to level
-Lintel
-Roof level
-Roofing woodwork
-Roofing aluminium
-Plastering
-Windows
-Doors
-POP ceiling
-Electrical piping and wiring
-Plumbing piping and fitting
-Tiling
-Kitchen cabinets

Please just put prices in front of these.

Good morning.

The only way you can have a valid advice that's not based on guesswork is to have the schedule of materials and labour done on the project. What I mean is that to have the detailed cost of the materials and labour prepared based on the Architectural drawings and specification/scope of work. This will also include the cost of supervision of the project.

Get a Quantity Surveyor to do that for you and you will be very glad you did.

Regards.

futurenix:
I greet you all Good people of NL Building Construction. Been reading and learning silently until my time.

Please What is a fair pricing for both supervision and labourers cost of a single flat 3 bedroom one-story building from foundation to parapet.

My Engineer asks for 2M to be splitted : Foundation to DPC, DPC to decking and decking to parapet.
Told him I will make some findings and get back to him.

I will appreciate a rough estimate as a guide.

At the bolded, 15tons or 30tons?

15tons sharp sand in Benin is about 40k or a bit less depending on your site location.

Nosa111:
Please, how much is a 15tonnes load of granites in your location ? Been long I access the market for materials, in Benin it’s almost 250k. They are telling me 120k+ for granite and 130k+ for transportation. Please how true is this?

How much is 15tonnes of sharp sand too. Make whona help me please.

We're still waiting or our next clients.

Point of correction with respect to the quoted, Architects do not prescribe nor design size or quantity of rebars in any building element. It's the job of a structural engineer.

erico2k2:
I disagree here sir.in as much there is going to be a slab of another building on top of it, no Architect will prescribe less than Y16.if U ask for the plan you won't see Y12 but Y16

To get the cost of your pile foundation, you need designs - Architectural and Structural.

If you've not had any of these two, you should consult an Architect and Structural Engineer for direction. After that is done, a reliable estimate can now be prepared.

bastien:
thank you sir hopefully I can save money to be able to afford your service sir


Quick one, how much will it cost to do pile foundation here (pic below) 30/120

Can we have the cost summary of the project based on the following;

2) Preparation of schedule of materials and labour (Breakdown of cost of materials and labour).

3) Valuation of construction works.

4) Project Management.

5) Pricing Bill of Quantities.

Contact us today and you will be glad you did.

Good analysis you've got here.

However, this should apply to the type of paint you sell or paint of equal standard that has almost the same spread rate.

For paints, that have higher spread rate or lower spread rate, there might be some modifications.

Regardless, you've done a good job.

gbadexy:
From experience and collation of painting charges, I've been able to narrow prices down to charge per bucket for uniformity and ease of negotiation.
Let's take for instance an unscreeded 2 bedroom flats that is charged average N25000 and requires 2 drums for ceiling, 2 drums for living room, dining and passage and 1 drum for the two rooms, that would mean N25000 for 5 drums of paint.
That's equivalent of N5000 per drum/ bucket.
Let's even break this further in still simple manner to put the pricing to test.
5 gallons make up a drum/ bucket. To paint a room, on an average, it would require 2 gallons for the ceiling, 3 gallons for the wall.
The average charge for painting a room is N5000. It's still at a regular rate of N5000 per drum.
For screeded wall, the same scenario as above applies except there is going to be sandpaper and dusting involved.
At average cost of N35000 for a screeded 2 bedroom flat using 5 drums of paints for the ceiling and walls, average charge per drum is N7000.
This rate could be helpful in negotiating labor charge based on total drums of paint used.

At Regal paint, we can charge the same rate for both screeded and unscreeded walls at N5000 per drum and make use of machine sandpaper and spraying.

Buy Dangote cement and win goodies even to the tune of millions.

It's not bad to ask questions.

But I feel since you're a QS, you can easily get those data from QS forums rather than asking on this public forum.

Yes if you manage the construction cost well.

Meklex:
Is 10m enough to build a modern styled 4 bedroom bungalow. With pop,tiles and other basic fittings?

40ft (12metres) x 50ft (15metres) is equivalent to an area of 180 square metres.

The quantity of material and cost of labour will depend on the thickness of the oversite concrete (ground floor slab).

redgem:
Someone can't sleep this period...you close one eye and leave the other one open . A very good morning to you all. Please can I get a cost estimate for German floor of a 346m² (40 by 50ft) 3 bedroom bungalow?

Congratulations...

You've come a very long way in that regard.

Finally got my building approval since last year.

Would have been out since September last year but the tax Lasg leveled on me eh..

Perhaps that's the design.

Architecture can be crazy.

EgunMogaji2:
As found. Not sure if it’s photoshopped or not.

30k to 40k should do.
