Good morning all, last month I came across this wonderful thread and I promise myself to start a 3bedroom structure. I started last 2 days with foundation digging. I would love to gain from the experiences of the experts here and to ask questions. I got some pictures please advise where necessary. 1 Like

Blessedpikin: The first question is what is on the structural drawings? Is it being built according to what is contained in the structural drawings? The beam indicated as 1 in the drawing below is resting solely on blockwork as there's no column on that end(indicated in orange) and I can't tell from the picture if it's anchored to another beam. The beam indicated as 2 is cantilevered about 3m away from support(marked in magenta) Ideally, Beam 1 should be carrying beam 2 and I would have expected 2 columns (depending on load) between Beam 1. One at the end marked orange and another immediately after the block work. I'm concerned there maybe cracks when these beams are eventually loaded. However, kindly defer to your structural drawings and structural engineer.

Cast-in-situ concrete facia with ready made steel formwork. We usually used this method in most of our work to save some cost for our client. - reduced waste of materials drastically I.e plank, nails, granite, cement, - No plastering needed after completion -it save time -it’s save cost - lesser workers -40pec lesser than regular plank type 1 Like

cash1115: This is a classic example of the call for tradespeople to invest in the tools of the trade. See how precarious and somewhat dangerous the work platform the screeder is standing on. In the same photos, there is a very crude wooden ladder cumbersome to move and transport from site to site. All that is needed is to invest in an aluminum lightweight multi purpose ladder. It is light, safe, versatile and easily transportable from site to site and long lasting. This makes one's life easier as a tradesperson. And you can give a competitive quote than the fly by night screeder who will quote for labour and work platform as well increasing your chances of winning more bids with your competitive price. 1 Like

diordaves: You are very correct chief. We have discussed this some pages back. It’s only in Nigeria you will see workmen’s without simple tools. Bricklayer will ask you to bring .. shovel, chisel, hammer, steel range etc They will even ask you to give them ordinary rope ( line) of N200, most of them comes to your site with 1 hands trowel nothing more. Not only them but there the worst 1 Like |

What's the daily rate for masons and laborers in Lagos/Ogun state at the moment. Do they also charge higher when working on story buildings(1story to be precise) |

chimoskyg:Why not contract it in stages instead of per laborer. It might look cheaper the way you are going about it, but so many things could be avoided if contracted. If you can get someone to give you a breakdown of labour charge and supervision, then compare that with what you could if you were to hire individual laborers. 1 Like |

Lagos - Mason collects 4k to 5k per day while the unskilled labour (the person serving him) gets 3k per day. Working at a higher level, that's storey building, the labour rate for both mason and unskilled labour still applies but their output will be reduced. debeey87: 1 Like |

The correct answer you seek lies in your working architectural drawings. That's where the scope of work and by extension cost of materials and labour can be estimated. The attached picture is just a 3D. [quote author=chimoskyg post=111189958][/quote] 1 Like |
