Please this is a plan of a house am building and am currently not in Nigeria to see how things are going.But the Engineer handling it gave me a quotation of 2M from Foundation to DPC ( German floor) he's labour and supervision is included on the amount..... He said materials will cost about 1.4M and while his labour and supervision will cost 600K making it a total sum of 2 M .... So what I want to know now is if the 600k for labour/supervision from just foundation to DPC ( German floor) is okay or is too much Please advice and suggestion needed.

Keneking:
3.5million budget pls including building approvals.

We don't support illegality on this forum.

Get approval before starting anything to avoid stories that touch.

Provide area boys and baale money as well.

Funseyi:
Please what if someone want to build 4 standard bedroom flat?

n3xt:
The figure quoted is not too much for any type of foundation adopted.

Just find out if all the items mentioned below are included in the scope of work (assuming it's a strip foundation):

1. Setting out
2. Excavation
3. Blinding
4. Preparation of Column Base
5. Starter Bars reinforcement
6. Foundation blocks
7. Formwork for the starter bars
8. Sandfilling
9. Surface treatment (Compacting, Laying of Damproof Membrane, Blinding, Mesh reinforcement etc)
10. DPC formwork
11. Rough-in pipe work for mechanicals
12. Pouring of the DPC concrete.

I'm 100% confident that the estimate given is not for a raft foundation.

Also find out the height of the foundation because if it includes materials, labour and supervision, you need to be sure of what you're walking into.

No matter how much of compromise your contractor is willing to make on this build, he will definitely need to make provision for the following if not more:

1. Granite - 150k
2. Sand (4) - 160k
3. Iron rod (1 ton) - 130k
4. Rings and binding wires - 20k
5. Cement (180 bags) - 270k
6. Blocks based on the partitions and 4 block height (1500 pcs) - 240k
7. Planks and Nails - 50k
8. Sandfilling - ??
9. Plumbing materials - ??
10. Miscellanous (DPM, etc) - ??

Arcespion:
Materials won't cost more than 700-850k based on that plan. Workmanship varies according to location but for a place like Lagos which is the more expensive between the two cities I've experienced, it shouldn't cost more that 150-250k for 4-6 days of work.

NwaEzefuNaMba:



Bros planks and nails 50k??
When last did you visit timber marker?

n3xt:

Did you read the part where I said "No matter how much compromise"
I was only giving a worse case scenario.

NwaEzefuNaMba:


sorry I did quote out of ignorant!

Just that sighted that particular paragraph as I was passing by.
