alstacs: Actually depends on the materials to be used and the shape of your building. If you use plumbing pipes as downpipes (2" is about 600 naira) instead of downpipes (4000naira) you'd be saving. Also, Is your building a bungalow? If its a duplex, price is okay. |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by Flashmove: 3:34pm On Nov 02, 2017 |
KolaShangOne: Why should the price for bungalow differ.. Are they scared of falling or just want to suck out money cause they presumes that who builds a dup have cash.... |

@Jasmine17, borehole cost in benin depends on the depth and the formation's nature and thicknesses. In Ugbor, they normally drill pass 100m, at times 200m and its mainly of majorly of sands/sandtones (90%). Prepare between 1.5m-3m. Try to have a geophysical investigation done. That's when you can have a definite price. |

jabolo: While it is good to recommend someone, l think we all should move to the next level of the recommendation. A few people have "recommended" someone based on their experience and the result was a major disaster (l wont mention names for now). And what follows/ the person who did the recommendation simply WITHDRAWS the recommendation and that is it! The Client is left to clear the mess but the Client only acted based on the recommendation (a honest one though) of the 3rd party. So, l think anyone who wants to stick out their neck for a contractor, should GIVE A GUARRANTEE UNDERTAKING, to MAKE GOOD, whatever the loss the Client suffers from the contractor they recommend. We must start putting our money where our mouth is (no pun intended for @jabolo). Other people in the house, what do you think about this idea? |

There are still some good workmen/contractor, someone highly respectable here once said he does not award any contract to NL contractor anymore. I took his advice after some highly inflated quotation. Now i just admire peoples work |

Jasmine17:I think it is fair since it is a storey building Bungalows are 140k & above. Any section of building with height above 6 meters is costly & What is the size of the land? How buildings do u have on the site plan? But just see if u can beat it down to 200k |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by Rubbiish(m): 6:16pm On Nov 03, 2017 |
Daboomb:@bold are u sure u are sane? Can u do same for others? If someone is recommending a contractor for u, he is not in any way compelling u to use that particular contractor, but suggesting the contractor to u based on experience. It is now left for u to also carry out your search via any means to ascertain his credibility. People change, who would have thought by now PSQUARE will be competiting against eachother as at 2010? Saying someone recommending a contractor should be responsible for any negative outcome, only bespeaks how f00lish u are. If i may ask, how many projects have u executed using NL contractors? 8 Likes |

kolnel: I don't support flat roof for anything; be it cost or aesthetics. Here in the UK some mortgage lenders will not lend to you with a flat roof. Flat roof is a problem more so in Africa with torrential tropical rain. However to counter the problem of rain water percolating into the walls where the roof meets the wall, felt is an inferior solution especially again in Nigeria with very hot climate. Felt need bitumen (coal tar) as adhesive. Over time the hot sun will melt the coal tar which will then affect the integrity of the felt. The result is a leaking roof where the roof meet the walls. A superior solution is lead flashband. From the picture it may look like cello tape but not. This is heavy lead coil which is set with mortar into the bricks and bevelled out into the roof. It is normally 15 year guaranteed before maintenance. It hardens into solid metal over time. 3 Likes 1 Share

Hello house what would sound like a fair price for an electrician laying pipes before plastering of walls? I dint have any quotations, he wouldn't give me; he's relative and he's good. It's a 3 bedroom flat with a 2 bedroom pent floor making 5 rooms, 2 sitting rooms 6 bathrooms. |
