n3xt: Vibrated blocks are more expensive, however a 9" handmade block at 35pieces per bag is equally good. Here is what I know for SE location for those doing kobo kobo projects. 10bags of cement .............#3300 x 10 = #33000 I 10tons of white sand for blocks ..........#16000 Labour for moulding is #900 per bag x 10 = #9000 Water . ...............................................................#2000 Total ..................................................................#60,000 #60k divided by 350block is #171.50 per block |

sonnie10: Wow! This is good. Unfortunately, we are not using hand mould on this project and 10 tons of sand is almost 35k here. 2 Likes

n3xt: True, sand is the only material that is cheap in SE. Did you know that a 10ton trip of laterite ( red sand) is 8k? Every other thing is expensive, even labour despite high unemployment. There is a project for duplex on ground now but builders price is still holding it. Considering logistics, if you were able to efficiently work over there, part of the problem for this project would have been solved. |

Hello house, I have used and emulsion paint of ash color to paint my ceiling before using the white color to paint it. Yet, the dent on the ceiling keep on showing. What can I use to paint the ceiling for it to change to white like others? Thanks for your contribution. 1 Share

winta2008: Just change it. It is damp and might have mold even. House paint is only good on dry surface. The money you have been spending on paint would have been enough for a new piece. I come in peace. |

sonnie10: Wow! With a very good planning and material management in place, a builder/contractor can improve construction efficiency. Planning is everything. I always spend the first week after signing any contract planning each stage of work with my construction crew. We always examine individual needs of each tradespeople at each phase of the project. We check the deliverables and the dependables (what needs to happen for ‘x’ to happen). With a good plan in place, a builder/contractor/homeowner can successfully orchestrate the management of people, processes, materials, and equipment without worries. The work is like fixing a jigsaw puzzle. ______ Though there’s price increase, we never had to worry because everything has been adequately taken care during the pre-construction planning stage. We understand the critical nodes and dealt with it as soon as we see the red flags. For instance, we took care of major reinforcement in our build when we realize there’s almost a 15% increase in the price of iron rods. Today, it’s almost 30% increase within the space of 2 weeks. Planning is key!

true2home: Smiles. I know Cement is sold 3500 in the open market but I also know I can keep the figure at N3,000 by sourcing directly from trade partners. I know sandcrete blocks are sold in the open market 230 - 270 but I also knew a “N30 - N70 off each block will give my client some savings to accommodate unexpected twists during construction. I know granite is sold 230k in Lekki but I also know I can leverage my goodwill to get something good at a reasonable amount. I know the cost of formwork and paying for carpenters can be very overbearing in time likes this. I provided shutters and marine boards for almost half the cost of buying the same for the project thus eliminating the need to buy pako, pay carpenter, buy nails just because of something that can be done cheaper/faster by an efficient builder. I know I can do hand mix during certain stage of construction but I decided to have a concrete mixer on site to use at every time we need to do a concrete pour. If nothing else, it saves time and gives a better mix. The essence of all these is to keep the project going without breaking bank and also create a win-win relationship. ________ Adding a dump truck in not too distant future will give us a huge leverage over competition. ________ I didn’t buy all my tools of trades to show off, they’re my weapon of warfare in the fierce construction industry. Even our common wheelbarrow is welded in-house. Ijebu sense no go kee me. 3 Likes |
