BLINDING COST 35K y is casting of german floor now 10k pls guide me .

diordaves:


Without the plan, the figures here are just ballpark figures but this will give you an insight into how this is done:

#Digging the foundation of 3 bedrooms aim for 50k.
(In Abeokuta, this might be tricky as the town can be rocky and difficult to dig but then again, because of the terrain you may not need a very deep foundation to get to stable soil).

Blinding aim from 35k

The setting of foundation block: I don't know how big is you flat, but let's guess 1300 blocks with a high foundation. To lay one block is N50.
so 50x1300 = N65k

Iron Bender to tie the basket and columns: aim from N35k

Carpenter formwork aim from: 10k

The casting of the Columns: For three bedrooms, depending on your design, your total columns should be around 16 columns. To cast one column aim from 1k per column.
So 1x16 = N16,000

Foundation and back filling aim for: 15K


Wetting of foundation (compacting) - 1k

Casting of German floor aim from: 10k

Total Labour: N237k

These figures are highly debatable but hopefully, you should now have an idea on the direction of travel.

It's a fashion statement or abi design statement sef.

To me It is art. It is an expression and impression of awe. It gives an otherwise simple building character and I boldly say culture and identity.

History will be kind to the building like the Pyramids of Egypt. When the Pyramids were being built, the people saw them odd. Three thousand years later we all know how they turned out. Tall roof is an African impression. I love it.

It is NOT POSSIBLE to have 2 separate SUBMERSIBLE pump inside ONE BORE HOLE
*Reason •*
In most case the diameter of domestic bore hole is 100~150mm and the diameter of submersible pump is 75-90mm and when installed the riser pipe will be at the CENTER point of the bore hole.
With this 2 submersible pump CANNOT work

UNLESS you are using SURFACE PUMP with this the pump will be installed at the ground surface then riiser pipe go down down into the bore hole ton-suck water and discharge it into the over head tank.
With this you can have like 3 separate pump and be working independently on there own.

But the issue here is that NOT ALL BORE HOLE can have this system work due to the water level bcs ONLY SPECIAL SURFACE PUMP can do the work unless if it’s a SHALLOW bore hole with water level of around 10-15ft if not the pump will not suck the water
But ( the system of surface pump ) it can work perfectly OK in WELL WATER of like 10-20 ft water level

Modified
If your bore hole water levels is deeper than 20ft and your need separate pump by all means to do such work then I can only recommend a special industrial surface pump of higher capacity for you.
But it’s very costly to do the set up

Casting of Oversite concrete (German Floor)

2 masons daily pay @3000 per = N6000
3 or 4 helpers daily pay @1500 per = N4500 or N6000
Total: N10500 /N12000

You can't get better than that. That is provided all materials are provided a day before to enable casting starts by 6:30/7AM in the morning.
Also, carpenter must have finished his formwork for DPC and plumber must have laid starter pipes and guided them into position the previous day.

Na our work. I won't charge 10k for labour for DPC casting.

The bill is more than fair. Probably the engineer plans to augment any extra costs for section of work from funds saved from previous sections such as blinding.

n3xt:


12k for DPC?

Abi I’m dreaming ni? 100mm thick or just 25mm? Regardless the size of the building I have NEVER budget anything less than 50k for DPC. (Read this part slowly)

Below is what DPC look like even in the government affordable housing scheme. You’re not allowed to manually mix concrete. I do minimum of 8 concreters for a 100sqm footprint.

Machine Operator - 1
Cement - 1
Water - 1
Granite - 1
Sand - 1
Loader/Carrier - 3
Bricklayer (leveling) - 1

Where will you get casting crew that’ll accept N1,500.

Exactly, that calculation was based around the 10k benchmark in question (remember I said I can't charge 10k for said section of work).
I believe the building in question has a small area and the oversite concrete would not be anywhere close to 100mm (more likely 25 or slightly higher). Probably be using hand mix and not conc mixer.
A lot of assumptions to work with.
Lastly, cost of labour is largely dependent the prevailing prices in location of said project.
Over here, labourers get paid 1500 or 500/bag regularly (not strange) to see.
I'm handling the construction of the office complex of a Federal parastatal presently and the prices I'm paying for unskilled/semi -skilled/skilled labour are very much different from that obtained when handling smaller private jobs like bungalows all in the same location.

look at it frin the cost structure, it should then make sense to you.

A foundation that’ll gulp N3m is not a small foundation and so 25mm (1in) thick slab is not something you’d consider in a N3m foundation.

Even with a very good builder/engineer, N3m will put a good foundation up in Ajah, Lagos.

davodyguy:
Price of cement officially increased

Dangote and Lafarge blamed it on people's desperation.

Their thought is that, the marketers increased the price last year and people still rushed to buy as high as N5000. Hence, if they too increase, Nigerians are headstrong people, they would continue to buy

When can we start boycotting products in Nigeria?

Chief, thanks a lot,, l really appreciate your detailed response.

With reference to the highlighted part: Can l add the Surface Pump, with the Riser pipe, to the existing normal borehole Submersible Pump setup?

What l mean it, if l can get the riser pipe down to the position where the water level is, side-by-side with that of the 'Riser of the Submersible pump' (or even beyond it), do you think that would work?

Since the Submersible's job is to bring up water from deep down the hole and the job of the surface pump is also to suck up water from the hole, the difference is that one is on the surface with a pipe extended down into the hole, while for the other, the pipe is extended to meet the Pump, down below.

Thank you Sir.

@bixton Thank you very much Sir.
I am still on a quest to use a single borehole, two separate pumps with separate Riser Pipes, running on different electricity lines such that if the electricity supply for one pump is ON/OFF, [b]it does not affect the other pump.
