Oga I have done a similar decking recently. E no reach that Budget. My site is in Lagos. Stop giving builders high blood pressure.

I'm not a sadist when I pointed the outrageous prices. I'm also a site owner (maybe Kobo Kobo site owner lol). I monitor my materials and their uses and I can categorically tell u that 2.5M to 3M will do that project.


Unless he added charges from construction company.

Which is better between black cement screeding and pop cement screeding

Can somebody please let me know the width or tick of soakaway decking. Thanks

Hello guys,

What is the going rate for cement in Lagos at the moment?

I have been offered N3450 for a 300bags min order. Fair deal or I should be squeezing for some discount?

Thanks

OAKGroup:

Well, this depends on it's purpose sir.
But I will advice you make it 150mm. It's gonna be out there for ever bearing the impact of weather.

Hope it's not in vehicle's path!

Please what could be the causes of this screeding pilling off! It is not up to a year o

HossanaHeights:
You don't pass judgement on another man's building project simply because you built a building of that type.

There are other considerations that could make the costs differ.

Firstly, the size of the decking.
Secondly, the structural design of the decking as advised by the structural engineer. Hence, more 16mm rods could have been deployed more than yours.
Thirdly, the concrete mix ratio.
Fourthly, labour charges in the area of your build.

Please when did you do your own decking? What's the size and can we see the structural design only?

When we see the information above, we can then appreciate your perspective.

N4M is a very fair price for Spyder880's decking based on today's material and labour rates.

I do not believe those images are of anywhere in Ibeju Lekki, or even Nigeria.

Point of correction!

This thread is serving its purpose which is:"GENERAL TOPIC THREAD TO DISCUSS ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING IN BUILDING CONSTRUCTION".

I have learnt alot here.May be you had some other 'motives' for starting the thread which you couldn't achieve so you 'chickened-out'...


I come in peace oo!

Iriruaga100:


The thread is not serving the purpose it was created for. The topic says, discuss anything and everything in building construction but you still have people advertising here.

spyder880:


My brother, sometimes our people that fail to attach prices to their works here is because of issues of doubt and wrong perception which might mislead clients into believing they were ripped off.

But I will get the files for this decking and attach all items bought and used even with the labor cost and transportation. This will be for education purposes only, because many people might be on that stage of their buildings.

Thank you Sir.

diordaves:


We've been here before in the past. I'm not speaking for Spyder880. He is more than capable of doing that. I'm just speaking from a position of experience to add to the body of knowledge. For the record; I'm not a contractor. I think you need lived experience coming from a non-contractor.

First off, 80 bags of cement? Did you really mean this or is it a typo?

Decking (according to code and best practice); you will first of all beam (all-round beaming, so to speak). For a 9" block beaming, that your 80 bags of cement don go. With the beaming process alone, you don dey match two million. We never talk of the decking proper.

12mm rod? You may be guessing from a position of lack of full knowledge of the process. The decking process is a combination of 12mm and 16mm according to the structural drawing. I've experienced structural drawings wey 16mm na half of the rods used.

40 tons of gravel. What's that? Just beaming alone fit chop 40 tons sef. In Delta, we do "Auchi load" plus 9-11 for decking. For gravel, you don dey match half a million with the size I'm seeing in the photos.

You can't spend 1 million for cement. Really? As I look the picture Spyder post with the cost, no how, no how wey that decking no go chop reach 230 bags of cement with best practice mix ratio. That decking go chop more than 80 bags of cement my guy. You buy cement for 3,700 na. So even if we say the decking chop 200 bags: 200 X 3,700 = N740,000. Some people buy cement for 4,000. Don't forget that.

In most parts of Delta, na women corporative dey do decking as in the pouring process. The women dey charge over 200k sef. Even if na men, it is worse. Before you go come pay tapers and mixers.

To deck no be here o. I relate with that 4 million cost with current prices. Decking na sheyge!

Iriruaga100:


Sir, the person you quoted need to be very practical here. 3 million will only deck a three bedroom duplex as of today. That amount will not deck a two unit three bedroom flat in this present economy.

Last year December, I supervised a project in Delta consisting of two unit of two bedroom and one unit of one bedroom. The rod for that project cost 1,930,000.
16mm- 165
12mm- 450
The building got 9” all round beam with 9” and 6” beam in different areas on the decking.
252 bags of cement was used at the rate of 3300- 831,600.
60 tons of granite at 500k. The granite was not enough, I bought the small truck for 88k
Electrical materials- 190,000

Casting- 200,000
Carpenter- 200,000
Iron benders- 180,000
Electrician- 100,000
Plumber- 10,000
This is all I can remember o.

Thanks. Part of it falls on the path. Hope 150mm is still ok?
