I didn't pay per square meter though I suppose I can do the calculations and report back. He's Togolese and just pleasant to work with.

Ok. If his rate is good.. I may pull him to Lagos.
Those Togolese knows what they are doing.

The current market prices in my location of some iron rods in pieces are as follows ;
16mm N4800
12mm N2800
8mm N1400

If you consider that I bought these same materials on the 16th of this January 2017 for

16mm N3200
12mm N1850
8mm N950

then you cannot afford not to shout "Nigeria we hail thee" grin This is like a 50% jump in only one week.

Advance planning for any project is dead. Giving a quotation for a time exceeding 3 days before payment is futile. Being owed is like losing money. But how can you tell those you have agreed to a fixed price that you can no longer start the project at the agreed price, after just one week?

Which way Nigeria?

I was so shocked yesterday. They told me 12mm was N2800 and I was correcting the dealer on phone, telling him I am not asking to buy 16mm, he laughed so hard before telling me 16mm is even N5,000. !

Na beg I beg to get the price dropped to N4,800.

Lots of builders will get caught up in this inflation man. Thank goodness i finished my decking before the damn thing jumped. Even at that time in November 2015, the price was up. I had to add more money for the quote. Now i am afraid of wiring bcuz the way you brothers are talking about it. Electrician already quoted 1m (materials not included bulbs or chandlers and all that)+ 400k workmanship = 1.4m and I wanna pee pee as i got the quote 2wks ago. And now with dollar rise, I am afraid by the time i gather 1m, it might rise. That should be another month from now.

Matter of fact, i think i should post the quote for you to see if it is moderate one. Will hola at you when i found it. I de shivering as i set my eyes on it.

It is disheartening with the way inflation is affecting cost of building materials. Prices are changing every 48hrs. I've been at the receiving end for the past few months.

I swear it is so scary. My heart was beating faster 2wks ago as i was waiting for the quotations. I thought plumbing would cost me a whole lots bcus, previously around 2015, i was quoted some 400k for plumbing for each apartment and the building is duplex consisting of 3 apartments basically. But now that i got a new quote for close to 800k. i asked is this for the whole building for just 1 apartment?. He said entire building. I was relieved bigtime. That means the former was going to scam me. Then, he told to wait few hours for electrical, I was so sure that it is either the same or lower than plumbing. Man, by the time i see the quote, i was shivering. Poo poo wanted to come down when i saw 1.4 for everything.. Although i have not really took my time to go through just be sure they are not adding some electrical features i already bought. That's what i am going to make sure they not included now.

I just spent 617K buying wires and transporting alone. No workmanship included in that.

Plumbing is the cheapest aspect of the construction.

I don't know per meter but I paid N4,500 per box which has 4 of 24"x24" tiles.

Comes out roughly to about 3,125/sqm.

Each tile is 0.36sqm. A box of four gives 1.44sqm.

Sir Spyder,
How many bundles do I need for a standard plot of land 60/120. I want it to be normal; comparted like this picture, not lots of space. Should I buy 10 or 12 bundles?

Prices changing every 48 hours. This country needs fixing urgently. It is a scary situation with the way inflation is rising. Yet, income remains flat.

Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by mavverick: 3:45pm On Jan 30, 2017
Think it all depends on your pocket. In terms of whether the country will get better or worse, nobody knows however the indication does point to the latter.

Can you still afford to execute the project with the current price of materials ? Can you compromise on some things ?
These are the questions you need to ask yourself.
