I have gotten to roofing stage of this 3 bedroom Bungalow
I want to use step tiles roof and I have added the roofing sheet sample.
I want to do the roofing next week
Anyone with idea of how much it will cost.
I have added image and size.

Get in touch via WhatsApp for something more definite.

But you'll need to share the floor plan with complete dimensions...

fashrola:


The quotation is for 3 bedroom flat bungalow with study, the quotation is for blocks molding (This has been done already ) to excavation, foundation to lintel level

I'm not with my laptop till Monday.

If it's OK by you, send me a WhatsApp message.... (ie if you want a Document like the attached)

Number is in my signature.

Welcome back guys!!!!

Hello professionals in the house, Can someone help me review this BOQ for a three bedroom bungalow with Study and probably a rough estimate to aid in renegotiating before starting the excavation process for foundation

Land condition: Table Land and not swampy

I bought 10 trips of sharp sand out of the 15 trips and 60 bags of cement which was used to mold 3000+ blocks and also I've already bought 30 tons of granite and its on site already.

Temporary shedhouse/store has been erected on site too.

Though the professional charge, I negotiated down to 500k

Note: The Land is already fenced round and gated already

Morning.
What exactly is this quotation for?

I ask because I see wood also....

Kindly clarify.... (list all the stages of work you expect him to do).

ChybuzzDD:


Why did you prefer this design to a 2-storey building of the same 6units of 2bedroom flats, please?

Do you feel this is cheaper in terms of cost?

The 3 floors wld always be more expensive....

Welcome Back

Let's do this...

12mm is 94 while
16mm is 53

Sorry.. But it isn't.
Perhaps that what a supplier gives you doesn't make it the standard...

Note: knowing the numbers has a formula and calculation, except you're a civil engineer no need to dispute the number.

Goodluck

Good Evening All.

Gravel is the readily available stone in the village unlike Lagos where we have access to granite.

I am looking at the bags of cement he demanded. That is a lot.


I noticed his workmanship is high too.

And for the sand, we are talking about 5tonnes here. The tipper size available in the village is 5 tonnes not the usual 20tonnes or more we have in Lagos

What I deduce from his quote is that he's not good at estimating.

1. The quantity of sand for foundation is too small (10 tonnes for concrete and block setting to foundations) - way too little

2. Gravel is Equaly small

3. Cement is high, especially in his block setting to level but 40 bags for foundation is not high... (the other 2 are)

4. His workmanship for foundations is way too little to do the job. (120k to dig the foundations, cast the concrete, set the block and do some filling around foundation) - labour must be cheap there.

5. Labour for block setting to level is high IF carpentry and iron bending work are not included but if it's included, it's not high.

6. He didnt even quote for sand for German Floor, I wonder if he's using stone alone.

7. Workmanship for German Floor is OK.

My advice:
You can buy your materials, and negotiate workmanship with him.

BUT.. make sure there's someone over seeing him... Like an experienced supervisor.. (more important than anything else)

Goodluck

Please house, I am plastering my house and the cement seller offloaded dangote cement falcon ?? She claims it's good for plastering , please what does the house thinks of this and what's the average price of it or is it same with the normal dangote cement we know of

She's right..... You can take a look at Dangote cement website for proof.

Winniealfred1:
Please can someone help me check this quotation i got from my builder. The house is in the village in oyo state and it is a 3 bedroom bungalow. Am i about to be duped? The quotation is looking so high. I am working on a tight budget

No1 - He's not trying to DUPE you (if I use your language)
No2 - Why gravel? Close eye buy granite, on the long run, its the better option
No3 - Why is he using SOFT SAND? - and that rate is very cheap for it to be SHARP SAND. - Buy sharp sand but I expect it to be more than the 20k he wrote down.

No4 - The only workmanship I think is HIGH, is the setting to Level @N300k (but that depends on the details of what he's doing) - ie if it includes him doing the lintels and rebar works inclusive, then its not HIGH again.

OVERALL - He's not trying to dupe you BUT I'll advice you have a supervisor that would ensure he uses the right materials where and when he shd.

Goodluck

The Zinc is much.17 bundles for a 3 bedroom that's much no matter the roof design.

I agree... 17 bundle is about 250m2..
Shd be enough.

Reeefe:
Please help me review this quote for a 5ft by 9ft ... tank stand with 5ft hight ( to be be used to highten a roof tank)

I don't think it's bad... Difficult without a sketch to know what's to be done exactly.

But considering the prices of steel now... I don't think it's bad.

doncafu:
Got this quotation for a 3 Bedroom House with just one Master bedroom.

Is this quotation good or the materials will not be enough for the roofing?

Your suggestion will be highly appreciated.

Note: I have to type this because the original list is not clear enough.

I think the 2x2, the Zinc are not enough.

2x2 shd be reaching about 200.

And the 2x4 might be much.

BUT ALL THESE ARE GUESSES.... to get something more accurate, you'll need to share the roof plan (dimensioned).

Goodluck

dem go still lose

Rany4all:
Yeah, that's exactly what I thought he meant, and I've never seen that before.

People do that... to increase height and pressure.
something like the pics

BIGGIE121:


It is not a quote for a decking slab sir, I guess we are seeing it differently

I understand your point.

Rany4all:
Wait o, are you implying that the tank stand would be mounted on the roof of a house? That would be a first for me, if so. Would love to see a picture after installation.

I believe what he means is.
There's a concrete space for tank already built on the roof... But they want to extend the height for more pressure... So they'll build the steel work and place it on the concrete slab.

KIDfurniture:
9/11 u dey condemn like this x let the tenant go & build his own house. All my rooms na 3m / 3m if e small go & build ur own house.
I will not build so you go forget to go build ur own. I don’t build for married people with kids. Best investment is hostels / guesthouses / self cons / just boy & girl stay

This statement above from the same person that typed the below.

I have worked as a project manager for 6 years now. I know all their games. Just pretend to be a site manager u will see all the games. The poverty mentality messed their sense of reasoning up. That is why they hardly achieve anything good in life. Talking about the bad ones

All I can say is Waoh.

The primary reason for a building is COMFORT, FUNCTIONALITY before anything else.

And you're a project manager with 6 years experience... But only concerned about profit?

Yet you condemn Artisans that are also only about profit?

Goodluck and no disrespect.... I'm just bothered about the type of house you design....

Don't be angry if my words are a bit hard... I had to SayDFact.

abuuthmaan:
Hello house,
Please can a 9 by 11 be considered a standard room size especially in Abuja?

Secondly, is it advisable to use 6" blocks for the inner walls of a storey building 4units semi-detached blocks of flats to maximize space or I should use the 9" ?

Thanking y'all for what you doing.

9 by 11 won't fly in Abuja.

Also, u can only use 6 inches on the upper floor but use 9 inches on ground floor if it's hollow blocks.

If u must use 6 inches on ground floor... Then use Solid blocks and no problem.

Goodluck

Edit: you can use 6 inches hollow block if it's a framed structure... No problem.

Domlayomi:


You mean 60-70 tonnes of sand

No

Rany4all:
You two might be using different mix ratios for your calculations.

Definitely

BIGGIE121:


140 bags of cement
40tons of sharp sand
30tons of granite (Chipping's-


NB: this is a quote for normal mason flooring and not stamped concrete quality flooring, you are going to use more if it is stamped concrete

I think you shd recheck your calculations.... U might have made a mistake somewhere.

Domlayomi:
Hello bosses and professional,

Pls i wish to do concrete flooring for my compound of 385sqm.
With a thickness of 4inches howmuch materials will i be needing.

Cement, sand, gravel. Normal concrete flooring not stamped one cos of prices of chemicals. Thanks

About 175 bags of cement.
Granite = about 60 - 70 tonnes
Sand = about 30 tonnes

Interesting.

I like how the buildings are moderate and easy to maintain structures.

Congrats to the widows.
