Welcome back, hope your day has been wonderful so far?


No6: Windows, Doors and Burglary - This is one of the easiest works to estimate, you can simply work into a nearby workshop, get prices and multiple by the numbers of doors, windows or burglary on your project.

Let's generate our estimate thou.
Note:If you are one of those who would be using sliding windows (because it's cheaper) your effective window opening is halved; I guess that's old information right? #wink

To maximize your opening, Casement is the way to go and they're more expensive too. The overall production cost also depends on your manufacturers choice of material, Nigeria made profiles are more expensive and better, stronger than the imported ones, so if you want something good, insist on Nigeria profiles for your windows; might cost you some 5k more thou but would definitely last longer.


Material Cost:

Kitchen = 1200 x 1200
Store = 600 x 1200
Dining = 1500 x 1200
Bedrooms = 1500 x 1200 (x6)
Toilets = 600 x 600 (x4)
Living = 1200 x 1500 (x2)


15 Total Windows:
1500 x 1200 = 7 x 28k = 196k
1200 x 1500 = 2 x 28k = 56k
1200 x 1200 = 1 x 25k = 25k
600 x 1200 = 1 x 18k = 18k
600 x 600 = 4 x 15k = 60k

Window Total = N355,000 (If you get a bargain below this price for Nigeria profile <NOT imported>, hold it tight #wink)

11 Total Doors:
1200 x 2100 (steel) = 1 x 70k = 70k
900 x 2100 (steel) = 1 x 30k = 30k
900 x 2100 (wood) = 4 x 25k = 100k
750 x 2100 (wood) = 5 x 25k = 125k

Door Total = N325,000 (The iron doors are made with plates of various thickness, the ones used here are referred to as double plate and are more expensive than the single plate steel doors)

15 Total Burglary: same as windows
1500 x 1200 = 7 x 10k = 70k
1200 x 1500 = 2 x 10k = 20k
1200 x 1200 = 1 x 8.5k = 8.5k
600 x 1200 = 1 x 6k = 6k
600 x 600 = 4 x 4k = 16k

Burglary Total = N120,500 (I've used a 0.5mm thick half inch square-pipe for this quotation, you would be charged more or less depending on choice of iron, size and thickness used)

TOTAL MATERIAL COST = N800,500

Transportation Cost: N50,000 (I don't expect you to use the nearest Aluminum guys because you want to eliminate transportation cost, use the best man for the job - same applies to doors and burglary - infact I have a policy of not using anybody very close to my site)

Labour Cost:
Fixing of Windows, Doors and Burglary = N60,000 (The labour cost here is divided as; Aluminum guy -20k, Bricklayer - 30k and carpenter 10k)

TOTAL WORK IN THIS SECTION: N910,500 (Nine Hundred and Ten Thousand, Five Hundred Naira)

Were are those who say 3 million can complete a 3-Bedroom Flat? My question is what quality are you building? eg You could get a burglary of 1500x1200 done for you for 5k (instead of the 10k stated above) but using low quality iron pipes which would rust or break a year into its use, since we're talking personal houses, what's your gain if you don't do quality jobs - you would spend more repairing or replacing later)

Good Luck!!!



No7: Tiles (Next up for estimate is tiling works)


We would continue from here next week.
Stay Tuned.... THANKS.

Hi All,

One of the major building element affected by the present economic situation is the WINDOW & BUGLARY; perhaps more than any other building element or relatively higher than.

I would be getting latest prices of windows and updated this list accordingly. Note that the profiles used in calculating are equality ones - I dont know if the cheaper profiles can still fall withing that price list and I sure won't be bothered cos I wouldn't recommend them.

Thanks.

GoodLuck.

MMMscam:
Thank you. So essentially, your estimate is about 5m?

Cld blow beyond if your taste is expensive. .. But 5m shd do a lot or all..

sigmundfreud:
Abeg any info on the current workmanship cost for German floor?

Roughly 2500 per m3... The more, the more discount you remove.., practical only when u doing big works ie u can't use it for small task like columns etc.

MMMscam:
Can a builder give me a current estimate of building a 3 bedroom bungalow on a standard plot at Epe?

Varies... depending on your design..
But the major cost are Foundation about 600k
Windows and doors (with current market price) about 1m-1.5m
Roofing (depending on on your choice of roofing material) about 800k - 1.5m
Electrical and plumbing - 750k - more
Tiling about depending on ur pick 500k or more
Plastering, painting.. .. ... There's a lot to be estimated thou.

EgunMogaji:
Assuming a height of 4 inches.

The perimeter is 50 feet by 80 feet but there is 33 feet by 14'6" that will not have a german floor on it right in the center.

I want to know how many tons of granite, sharp sand or stone dust (undecided yet) and cement I will need. I will be using a concrete mixer (would love to hire KolaShangs mixer but only if it will come with a specific Engineer to make sure that we don't break it ).

Thanks.

I've done that calculation and breakdown for public consumption on the thread shown on my signature.. I'm lazy to recalculate it now... Check it out but if u still need help... . Quote me on this thread.. . I'll find time to.

5-year-old attacked by her landlord's dogs, dies .
.
Aliyah Masaku, who was attacked by three dogs in Ikorodu, Lagos State, has died. Aliyah died at the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital, Ikeja, on Wednesday after she was transferred from the Ikorodu General Hospital, where she was first admitted. .
.
Aliyah was sleeping at their house on Alhaji Abdul Hakeem Bin Sulaimon Avenue, off Ewuren Road, Ikorodu, when an Alsatian dog broke loose. The dog, Rover, was one of 15 other dogs owned by the landlord who is based in London, U.K. .
.
It reportedly dragged Aliyah to the back of the house where two other Alsatian dogs joined it in attacking her. They inflicted multiple injuries on her body in an attack residents said lasted for about two hours. .
.
The father, Wasiu, who was responsible for the care of the dogs, had reportedly gone to buy the dogs’ feed when the incident happened on Monday. Around 11pm of that day, some residents reportedly invaded the house and killed Rover. .
.
Aliyah was taken to the Ikorodu General Hospital. The father told Punchng, around 4pm on Wednesday, that his daughter had a minor surgery at the hospital, before she was transferred to LASUTH. .
.
He said, “This afternoon, the doctors said her condition had worsened and she was not breathing normally again. They said they would need to take her to the Intensive Care Unit where I would spend about N500,000 per day. .
.
They have not been asking for money from me, except for the drugs.” Around 6pm, Wasiu informed Punchng that Aliyah had been pronounced dead, and broke down in tears. He lamented that his life would never be the same again.
.
.
The Director of the Office of Public Defender, Mrs. Olubukola Salami, expressed sadness at the news, adding that measures were being taken to forestall a recurrence in the state. Salami said the agency was making an arrangement to remove the dogs in the house where the incident happened.

Love to have a house soon

May this day bring countless happiness and endless joy and live with peace and serenity to me

Happy Birthday.....

Laterite is not a new technology - it is infact old and out of fashion... However, modern clay bricks are more expensive than sandcrete blocks, one of such factory is at Oregun...

There are also cheaper construction methods and materials as suggested also in the post ie DRY WALLING.... Using boards, containers, polystyrene etc

Nice post - I feel like jumping on a similar thread too.
