What is the Estimated Cost for Decking of L21.225 X W12.525m about 429sqm (with 29 pillars) 2-Storey Building in Port-Harcourt area.

Please I would like to know the quantity of materials that will be needed for the decking

My blocks are moulded on site (25 blocks per 1 cement Bag)

(Egs: Iron Rods, Cements, Sharp Sand, Gravels, Woods, Bamboo sticks, number of persons, Casting Cost and Bricklayer Labour cost. etc.

The Iron bender is going to do Chain Lintel, beams, decking beams, Staircase Hall and decking ( My Iron bender is charging me #120,000 for decking and #50,000 for Lintel chain beam) Please is this not too much for the Labour cost of Iron bending?


My Engineer says Lintel 9inches with mortar, decking 6inches with granite and sharp sand. 4 blocks laid to window and then 5 blocks to lintel = total from ground to lintel is 9 blocks then plus lintel makes it 10 blocks, then add 2 more blocks then bring out a decking beam (protector of the load bearing blocks)

Materials suggested by my Engineer (Y16 -90length, Y12- 320 Length, Y8 -60Length), 2 Rolls of binding wire and as for Number of bags of cement he said 60 bags plus or minus.

Also please see attached quotation given to me by the carpenter (My head is paining me after seeing this oh.....omg ) He said he gave me 2 Quotations for complete wood and under size wood. the complete wood is more thicker than the under size wood. He will construct and remove boards to reuse on other sides. I talked to the carpenter and he reduced the quotation to the below prices

Lintels/beams - 70k
Pillars - 40k
Beams - 30k
Decking - 170k
Staircase - 15k
Loosing of decking - 50k
Total Carpenter Labour cost #375,000


Please our experienced Ogas in the house I would really appreciate the amount of materials that would be needed for this and the labour cost.

This is beyond my skill level Sir. I’ll yield the floor to the professionals. Consider paying QSFemi for the work.

I don’t know how far you have gone with this project but for a project of this nature, your best bet is to negotiate everything with a contractor, preferably one with building experience like an engineer .

If I may ask, what exactly is job of the engineer you already have? You would say supervision right?
You are short changing yourself by separating his role from that of those involved in sourcing for direct labor. Let him source the labor, but make sure you negotiate well .

Doing it one by one, you might end up spending more. For instance right now you have more than 500k for labour alone.
Most contractors would accept that amount and even bear responsibility for whatever risk involved.
You only job would be to supply the materials and form boss.

Okay sir thanks for your response

The job of the engineer is just to supervise the site and direct the workers to make sure they are going in line with the Plan.

I gave him the opportunity to source for Example carpenter and Iron bender but I wasn't satisfied because they were both overcharging me and then i got different Iron bender and Carpenter to do the jobs that's why I don't give the Engineer the room to bring his own artisans but his masons are the ones still laying the blocks and also his welder did my overhead tank stand.


Please what do you mean one by one? Each artisian wants to do the work in stages e.g Ground floor then First floor and so on. So they quote their charges and materials based on each stage of the building.
