Onuokwu:




I am a bit confused now. @abdulwastecx are you referring to the cost of the polysterene fascia or in-situ fascia. If in-situ fascia then that means polysterene fascia as computed by Kolashangone is cheaper. I doubt however that Kolashangone computation is correct.

I was referring to d cost of the Poly facial when I said 5700.. I added the cost per sqm + transport +labour + tentative cost per sqm of roof beam and divided by perimeter of 120m..
I now asked how much in-situ will cost (not precast) and hr said 4000 per sqm. I was a little bit confused too because the Ploy facial is supposed to be cheaper than In-situ as Abdulwastecx said earlier..

@Segcymoor The owner is obviously trying to reduce cost..Laterite that quantity is not up to 16k.. Must be an Ijebu man.. (Apologies to Ijebu men here)

brabus:


Yea, I remember that was in 2013 when the guys at Stoneworks supplied me some granite in Ondo. I never waived it aside. That singular transaction informed our decision to own our truck. I was taken by surprise at the quantity supplied and the amount paid. Now that I have a truck, I'm even more surprised.

God punish hypocrisy of our suppliers!

lol..don't blame suppliers atimes. Most builders are not ready to pay the price. It's a good thing you got your own truck but you will still have to buy from US or you now maintain an account at the quarry?
I laugh whenever i see suppliers quote 150k for 3/4 or half inch 30 tons granite to lagos. How can 150k service such? lol

The cost of around 3600- 4000 is for "PRECAST" fascia

KolaShangOne:
A Nairalander complained about about his 'decking' vibrating.. It's obviously as a result of inadequate beams. I've seen houses here on NL where the builder was trying to use 'in-beams to cover up for not having adequate beams on his project.

Secret beans are meant to provide added support over a longer span, not replace beams.

My Oga's in the house, what do you think?

secrete beams are not structurally sound to have either as an added support or replace beam. The effective depth of such beam will be too small for a slab of 150mm.

if one is not ready to do rib slab or waffle slab such beam should never be introduce....

I asked about in-situ in my post.. You can check again..

KolaShangOne:

my bad sir....in-situ cost much more and it depends on height of the building as well

DISHONESTY....... IS NOT A LAUGHING MATTER!

I think it is more dignifying to tell you client/Builder that 30Tons cost x-y amount. Not a penny less, take it or leave it.

Not to DEFRAUD them by giving them 23Ton, ......when they paid for 30Ton, you agreed to supply 30Ton and they were expecting 30Ton.

Some Nigerians and their criminal mind ehn?

There's a picture I will like to post but I don't want a backlash from the builder.

The laugh on those builders who got genuine and quality offer from a coy but decide to de with unregistered suppliers for less. I have a record on NL, i will break it down for you piece by piece,you either accept our price or we wish you luck. We do not shortchange

Way to go to blame the victim.

The builders are not at fault. The entity at fault are the theiving suppliers, pure and simple.

No one deserves to be cheated.

KolaShangOne:

On a serious note, you are doing a disfavor to the industry if you see a safety violation and keep mute.

Man up cowboy and do the right thing.

Mr Abdul, if time permits you should break this down into easily grasped example for us mere mortals to understand so we can all check our builds.

Thanks.

Please break it down.. let's have your prices/cost so we can compare next time each of us need to be supplied. Thank you.

It's not a life contract. But the suppliers' association still have a way of extorting money from you o especially when they know you're not using them.

There are couple of times they delay our truck from entering sites because we are not registered member of supplier association and we need to pay some dues.

I've recently learned that vital lesson and I'm more the wiser now.

But an atheist supplier has more value now

30 tonne granite to Port harcourt will most probably be bought from Abia State along Enugu express road...you should pay between N125,000 - N150,000.00 for that though i am not a supplier o. I am just estimating based on prices in the East.

Granite price is never stable, it fluctuates according to market forces so also is transport. I notice most builders don't know there are different prices for stones, the cheapest been stone dust. Suppliers rip them off by giving them uniform prices for all stones.
The first method to beat your supplier to his game is to know the stone size you want. Don't just ask a broad base price.

Stone dust presently is 500 per ton
3/4 is 1500
5/8 is 1600
Half inch is 2200

Transport depends on tonnage and location. 10tons to lekki is 35,000, 20tons to lekki is 55,000 and 30tons to lekki is 60,000. This excludes toll charges ooo. Toll charge from ogun state to lekki for 30tons is 5000 while for 10 tons is 3500.

This also excludes omonile settlement and area boys, in some locations they collect as high as 5k or 10k per trip and some just 1 or 2k. This price never get company margin inside oooo.

This breakdown is what I give a potential client or builder and the smart ones see beyond the figures and go for it.

The breakdown I gave above should give you a rough estimate of what your order will be BUT it depends on current market price and condition.

I repeat again for emphasis NO truck presently used by haulage companies can carry 30tons complete as we all fear for our tires and suspension due to bad nature of road, traffic and weather condition. The only location we do make such trip( 30tons) is Agbara for those that re-sell and they pay HUGE and movement is timed. A honest supplier will be open to you about this

Thank you for sharing this.

I would love to see same from Ibadan suppliers to Elebu area.

For me specifically for stone dust and 3/4.

You might get a cheaper transport quote in ibadan considering that Elebu is close to the quarry. Stones prices in ibadan is way much higher than Ogun state.

If i am charging you to agbara it will be as follows:
10tons.......28k
20tons........45k
30tons.......54k

These prices excludes omonile/area boys or community charges. The client is in the best position to know what these guys collect since it is his/her area
