Spyda880, prince & am Alone, congrat on your projects, mine is a storey building of 4flats on a 50'120 ft plot of land. from experience what would you considers an ideal iron rod layout (inches ) of a decking. i've heard people talked of "3" and "5". why is 16mm rod relevant in a decking? i am confused as contractors have quoted for me varr ing/conflicting iron rod specifications/quotations. i am particularly not sure why i can,t do without 16mm rode. would it not be ideal to stick to 12mm than mixing both ? whose quote sounds more reliale and safe out of thses two quotes : contractor A contractor B -16mm= 0.5 tons (64,000) 16mm= 1.5 tons (165,000) -10mm= 1/4tons (32,000) 12mm =4tons (440,000) -12mm =5. 4ton (672,000) 8mm= 0.5 tons (57,000) -binding wires 4 rolls (12,000) -bindding wire=4rolls(10,000) -labour cost = 120,000 -Labor=130,000 |

spyder880 , i have observed that you used new planks in your decking, why not rent an already used woods and bamboos ? obviously less expensive. can nairalanders comment on re-using wood for decking, and could it affect my house in any way. i'm negotiating to use it in my decking's wood work. bless |
| Re: The Real Cost Of Building A Six Bedroom Duplex by Fhemmmy: 3:09am On May 10, 2011 |
bisanjay: What an idea . . . .Never heard of such before . . .but when would u know when the plank and the bamboo aint strong enuf to do the job since it has been used previously ? Again, i am asking, cos i wanna know |
| Re: The Real Cost Of Building A Six Bedroom Duplex by spyder880(m): 5:23am On May 10, 2011 |
bisanjay: Planks and bamboo are reusable, but I couldnt find any good place to rent or buy second hand. A neighbor wants to buy mine after I take them down next month, he is already offering to pay N400 per plank. @ fhemmmy, actually there is no harm to it, once the planks are still strong enough to withstand pressure. But after being used 3 times, most wood will start to show signs of weakness, some types even start to spoil after first use. It depends on type of wood sha. |
| Re: The Real Cost Of Building A Six Bedroom Duplex by spyder880(m): 5:32am On May 10, 2011 |
bisanjay: Actually, I cannot say which quote is better since we dont know the specifications of the decking and possible projections/cantelever sizes. 16mm rods are always used where there is going to be a projection off the beam, like a wall sitting on a cantelever, it is used to reinforce the other rods and provide a stong sitting for the walls or other things that will be built on top of the extended decking. Engineers use them wherever they have reasons to believe the load is too big for the normal 12mm. |

bimsbims: I am still gathering information. I am no more familiar with Ikorodu, used to, but not anymore, and to be real with you, i am in love with Ikorodu and i think it is a nice area . . . .especially for those that do not reside in Nigeria. Hope this answers your question |

bisanjay:There is notthing wrong with renting planks for your decking work just make sure they supply the once that have not being too out in the sun because they won't be straight. They quoted me about N390K for new planks eventhough I had some left from pillars, lintel, and german floor, plus I think N90K for labour without transportation and nails but I paid N250K for both renting, the whole work, nails, transportation, and taking it down 3-4weeks after decking it. Just show them your site, they bring their stuff, do the work and come back and pack their stuff 3 weeks after decking. |
| Re: The Real Cost Of Building A Six Bedroom Duplex by princeonx: 6:00pm On May 10, 2011 |
bisanjay: Bros I was asking the same question when they gave me quote for my rods but I ended up mixing them. personaly I wanted to use 16mm throughout but one contractor said it will be too heavy and the other said it will be Ok but better to mix it (go back to my ealier post for breakdown of my decking) I ended up buying another 1 ton of 12mm to that so I think mixing it is better than just 12mm. I thought I emailed you pictures of my decking work? |

@bimsbims Well, I don't really know your budget so cannot advice much on this. First do you live in/around Ikorodu? My advice is that, that place is kind of far, and I heard the fourth milan bridge will be linked to that place(may not exactly ijede road sha!!!) secondly, if I am correct, that place is kind of far from Ikorodu garage right? and again, the development around that place is kind very low!!!! You can buy the land, fence round and keep it. But to go into construction now and expect someone to lease it soonest is not very wise, because the chances of having someone to lease/rent soon is very low. You may end up building and keeping it for 3 years before you get someone o!(anyone correct me if am wrong!) Now if I want to advice, I can advice you to buy off Owutu-Ishawo road. Someone told me today that they have a land there and the price is 1.6m okay, that is kind of high. But you know Owutu is far closer to garage than ijede. So the choice is yours! And I believe you can easily have someone to lease it around Owutu-Ishawo, at a better price than Ijede. There are still several places you can get a land around Ikorodu. Less than 1.6m. Just make sure the land is genuine above all!!!! Also, what I can assure you of is that it will be very hard for you to see someone to let your house at ijede soonest. Because it is most likely for the site to be or look more like a bush. Where I bought my land, I got it for 1.5m, and i can say it will still be a bit difficult to have someone rent a house around that area for now(thought there are lots of people living in the area. But 98% are private homes)!!! Peace |
| Re: The Real Cost Of Building A Six Bedroom Duplex by AmAlone: 8:24pm On May 10, 2011 |
Fhemmmy: I want to believe you have seen fence, and lots of fence right  Nothing very new for now sha. And I don't feel like posting pictures. I will try to do that next week sha Peace! |

Updated expenses!!!! Today I paid a guy 500 naira to help me move some sand around the compound so that the rain that will be falling can directed off the fence and off the foundation of my house. Also, I bought a tipper of filling sand 8,000(have not paid for it, so I'm planing to pay 7k5 for it) the previouse once's I bought to fill my house went for 8,500 and 1,700 was used to fill it. but the guy that will be filling this one is doing it for 1,500. Also, I want to chain my fence round. The capenter charged me 15k for the job. The chaining carries a design(two steps). ANd also, he will finish do the pillar of the gate from that money! Also, I just confirmed the price for carpenter around here and it is 3000 per days job. The welder also, will be collecting 8k for the iron work and the iron work for the gate. Total: 33,000 Quotation for the irons: ring 6" by 6" =#450 per dozen x 10 dozens = #4,500(I may end up buying this ring less sha) 12m rod = #1380 x 40 lenghth= #55,200.00 16mm rod = 2250 x 3 = #6750 binding wire = #2,500 Total: #101950 Net total: 6,978,320.00 I will go and buy all these tomorrow(i mean the rods) any additional expenses, I will let us know. Peace |

I really feel like building a customized gate for my house. One thing have noticed now is that, customized once can be very unique, but they are also very expensive!!!! I have being looking for gate to buy lately and I saw one very cheap for 98k. When I try to go and customized that same gate, I was told 130k jale jale!!!! Except you want just 'anyhow' gate! Also, I don't really have much time. I am really in haste to have my gate done once and for all but the situation on ground won't permit this. I want to customize my gate but the problem is that; I don't have enough time to do so, it is most likely to cost me atleast 40k more, it may take too much time and the risk may be kind of to much! Then on the other hand, the uncustomary one will only cost me 98k I think it will be wise for me to go for this one  I plan to buy the gate tomorrow  Fhemmy - The man who love pictures I wil post the picture of the gate for you tomorrow for your eyes only!!! Peace!!!! |

Okay brothers I went to a showroom around Ojodu-Berger And I saw some beautiful doors there as well I visited about 3 places around there check out their prices 4ft door Place one --- 120k(didn't negotiate, and they were asking me how much I was willing to pay!) place two --- 130k(same with the first one. I got this price, after my negotiation). place three-- 135k(same doors, after negotiation) 3ft door Place one --- 80k place two --- 70k place three-- 80k The above are all turkey doors with a 9" frame. One china door there with a turkey skin finish, 3ft with a 6" going for 25k(didn't negotiate much sha) The aluminum guy visited me at the site today with his formal quotation and told me the 4 by 4 ft door will be going for nothing less than 24k and the 4 by 5ft door 28k 2 by 2 remains 10k Net total sha is now 326,000.00 I plan to giv him an advance payment next tomorrow sha. The work will be ready in 2 weeks my choice of color is white with a tinted glass Peace! |

Am Alone: Its not as if I want to say your gate is expensive at 98k, but if its the ordinary gate we have these days, it shouldnt be that costly. I dont mean to offend you so chill my guy, go out there tomorrow and ask them the thickness of the metal sheets to be used in this gate, also the thickness of the square pipes used as frames for the gate. From my little experience, 4 lenghts of 2 by2 square pipes, costing less than 10k and 5 sheets of flat plates costing 20k is the main material for building gates (plus electrode and labour, filling and smoothing) Just take pictures and lets see the gate here, so we can help you assess the quality. Maybe yours is a special one sha. |
| Re: The Real Cost Of Building A Six Bedroom Duplex by AmAlone: 10:31pm On May 10, 2011 |
spyder880: I have assessed the gate myself and the quality is very much okay! I don't think I can actually get it much lesser than 98k. And I think the price is so for some reasons. Maybe it is my area or so but you can hardly see/get a quality gate for less than 110k. Some even sells for 140 I have not paid yet and I will do some more research before doing so. Also, I told the man that I can pay 90k but that was when he remove 2k from the 100k(initial price 130k) we had being calling. This is far the best price I can get it around here. And the sheet you called 20k sells for 18k here o! peace |
