Is This Quotation For Roofing Ok? by jaff247: 3:48pm On Jul 07, 2016 |
Here is the final quotation we got from a builder to lay the roofing wood for a 4 bedroom house under construction on about a plot of land. I'm not an expert in this area, let the experts in th house help me out. Is it ok? 1) Facial board 22 pieces @ N1800 each = N39,600 2) 2 X 6 wood 40 pieces @ N1,000 = N40,000 3) 2 X 4 450 pieces @ N500 = N225,000 4) 2 X 3 350 pieces @ 450 = N157,500 5) 5 inches nail 3 bags @ N8,500 = N255,000 6) 4 inches nail 2 bags = N17,000 7) Oja-Agba(3 bundles) @ 1,500 = N4,500 8 ) Labour for carpentry = N160,000 9) Transport = 20,000 Total Cost = N689,100 What I'm more concerned about are the prices of the materials and the specified quantities. I have removed the cost of omo onile. 2 Likes 4 Shares |

Re: Is This Quotation For Roofing Ok? by VocalWalls: 6:26am On Jul 08, 2016 |
Let's me do some maths... Sir, price varies with location, so the actual cost of those item may have been so due to the location, and tfare cost. I think the prices were toppled. You can definitely get better deals if you do the buying yourself. The tfare for 20k, what's the distance like? Some of the items look more than necessary, you are talking half plot and it's not like the house covers the whole space. You may be billed for items that will never be purchased. Anyways, my final tip is to get another contractor's estimate. Anyone interested can see this post about Cost of redesigning a home |

Pls.Correct the fifth item
5) 5 inches nail 3 bags @ N8,500 = N255,000 |
Re: Is This Quotation For Roofing Ok? by youngwarlocks: 6:33am On Jul 08, 2016 |
QS in the building. Specifications are not complete and calculations incorrect e.g 5) 5 inches nail 3 bags @ N8,500 Is it N8,500 per bag or per specific number or per half bag? etc. if per bag then the calculation is wrong for a 4-bedroom flat. Total cost of roof structure for N689,100 is still fair but can be reduced by 50k-100k depending your location 2 Likes |

I don't support going to the market to price or buying it your self because those market sellers may over bill you and still gives you sub-standard good because they knew their customer,moreso get in touch with me when it get to electrical stage and i promise to give you the best. |

Re: Is This Quotation For Roofing Ok? by adeememman(m): 6:46am On Jul 08, 2016 |
First I thinks the calculation is wrong. If possible I will advice you bring in a friend who or anyone around you with an experience in this. In the absence of such, you can check the prices in their market. I thinks we have people that sells planks on Nairaland self. Collect different quotes and compare but have it in mind that the cheapest is not always the best. |
Re: Is This Quotation For Roofing Ok? by ekpesa(m): 6:48am On Jul 08, 2016 |
Price is really on the high side, with the quantity of woods it's likely you are roofing a small apartment. If compared to prices here in kaduna, then the price for the wood is almost doubled. 2 Likes |

jaff247: More grease to your elbow..I recently completed the roofing of a 5 bedroom flat and the quantity of wood used is not up to what am seeing in your quotation . It's unfortunate that we have so many deceitful artisans around. I will advice you go to the plank market yourself with a trustworthy carpenter and do the pricing. 5 Likes 1 Share |
Re: Is This Quotation For Roofing Ok? by AJSA2006: 6:51am On Jul 08, 2016 |
The most important thing is the quality of planks they would buy. It must be good. Whether you follow them or not, they would make their money. Take time to court the planks when they are delivered, if not complete you take the carpenter up. The Labour is ok. 1 Like |

slimmax: You may wanna do that. But if you are abroad you can send someone to the the market survey, this ay cost you a lil extra but it will give you a peace of mind. For me, aside the errors in the calculations, I tin the price is fair. |
Re: Is This Quotation For Roofing Ok? by Jarus(m): 6:55am On Jul 08, 2016 |
I don't go into all these item by item details anytime I'm doing a house, I'm only interested in the bulk price, and I will then negotiate, if negotiable. For my Kwara countryhome, I spent 920k to roof the main building (3 bedroom) and 600k to roof the BQ (2 semi-detached 1-bedrooms) + Gatehouse + Shop (Done together). Main building Wood work (labour inclusive) - 300k Aluminium (+ labour) - 620k Total - 920k BQ (almost as big as main building) + Gatehouse + Shop (Done together). Wood work (labour inclusive) - 200k Aluminium (+ labour) - 400k Total - 600k For Lagos one (a smaller 3 bedroom) Wood work (labour inclusive) - 150k Aluminium (+ labour) - 300k Total - 450k Journals https://www.nairaland.com/784501/jarus-countryhome-journal https://www.nairaland.com/2132347/construction-journal-2 At 680k, I think your quote is reasonable. 3 Likes |
