@ saythefact
Pls I need quantity of material needed for german floor of size 44 by 24 feet

Let's convert to meters.. .

13.5 * 7.3 = 98.55m²
Lets use a German floor thickness of 4" ie 100mm (Note: If it's decking it most be 6" or more)

Volume of concrete = 9.86m³

Materials Needed:
* Cement (1:3:6 ratio) = 35 - 40 bags
* Sharp sand = 20 Tonnes
* Granite = 15 Tonnes (Most be Full Tipper weight at the quarry)
* Labour = between 40-50k
* water = 10k (If you're buying)
* 1*12 wood = 13pcs = Abt 15k
* Nails and Carpenter Labour = 3500 (You can even try with 2.5k)
* Area Boys = 5-10k depending on your area and bargaining power
* unseen issues = 10k

I expect that you shd have stone and sand used from the foundation on site... If you don't, the quantities above would serve you beyond the German floor.

Good luck.

@ admcompub pls note..

Saydfact so all this could be Like how much

I'm thinking of doing a thread where we'll break it down - cost for cost.

dont be afraid, money is the least worries.... just start and see where you land

texybaby:
Wowww nice piece... @op Pls what's the minimum number of rooms one can build on a 1plot of land.. How many rooms do you advice

Morning,

you can start with a 3 or 4 bedroom at the back, this wld serve as BQ later, if u develop the another property in front... then on the remaining space in front, you could have as much as a duplex or another but bigger 3/4 bedroom flat or you could even go into higher floors because by then its our believe that God go don do better..


Thanks

OP, what about those abroad, I like this your outlines, how do we go about it, especially when we have not reliable relations, friends?

Sincerely u need a trusted relative....u really do.. I have a client in Qatar he's my best client now, his dad is the person he's used as a contact...

Alman:
Thank u op. Please what are d implications of a building on rocky land in terms of cost, borehole drilling, stability and ease of working on d land. I was recently shown a plot of land. The location is lovely and d price is moderate. After clearing we discovered it is filled with solid rocks and we became sceptical. Please advise. Members in d house ur advice please.

Firstly.. See if u can avoid as much rock as possible... To save cost.

2ndly.. don't panic... Foundation are dug, because we want a stable soil... If u hit rock, it can't get better... However, you need to get an architect or structural Engr to advise on how u wld do the foundation... Infact, u wld end up having a beautifully landscaped house if u take advantage..

DonX001 thanks.. . I'm happy I was of help.. If u noticed my first reply to the guy asking for a design.. I said I'm an architect but he can contact someone else... It wasn't about advert, it was about helping... Thanks. Appreciate

Pathetic.... Apology is that ministry or minister

Mannylex:
Best post in a while. Nice one OP.

Thanks. also thanks to lalasticlala, mynd44, Seun

Ok tanxs, if you are paying the bricklayer for setting blocks, is it still neccessary to pay him for tp?
Plus i want to knw which will be more economical between buying ready made block and moulding it yoursef

I always advice pple buy blocks... . because, you wld be at work and u can't trust workers to use the right amount of Cement.. . They use less and divert the rest... Buying is better

Imoy:
@saydfact.
I really dont understand how you calculated the money to pay the bricklayer.
Wot is th 40 for?
And why are you still paying for tp?

The 40 is 40 naira for setting one block... On transport it's like boq, the Bricklayer needs to pay to transport all his workers, he can't take that out of his Labour fees...

InMyOpinion:
OP..who designed that building in your post please..Kindly share the number or website. Thanks

I am an architect.. It's my design.. . cadsolutions2009@gmail.com

FIND THE SCHEDULE FOR THE BUILDING ATTACHED.

9'' Blocks = 1000 pcs for foundation (4 courses of blocks)
Cements = 45 - 50 bags was used
Sand = 20 Tonnes (and we still had enough for the septic tank and foundation to fence)
Granite = 20 Tonnes (including septic tank and fence footing)

Main Building.
9'' & 6'' used = 2300 pcs to roof level.

FOR THOSE WHO WANT TO HAVE AN IDEA OF HOW TO PAY THE BRICKLAYER TO SET ALL THE BLOCKS; HERE IS THE HINT YOU NEED.

(Nos of Block X 40naira ) + Transport + Cost of Concrete Works

Since we used about 3500 blocks for this then:

(3500 * 40) + 10K (Trans) + 30K (Concrete works) = 180,000k (block works only)

Now that you have this figure; its not what you should pay; you also need discount so negotiate for about 170k but in the worst case, don't pay more than that or slightly higher say 190-200k (depending on design and unseen factors)

** Note that the calculation above is a guide..... to knowing if you're being charged excess.

REMEMBER TO ASK YOUR QUESTIONS AND ADVICE IF IN DOUBT - YOU CAN ALSO CHALLENGE SO WE ACHIEVE OUR GOAL OF AFFORDABLE HOUSING.

Thanks.
