bixton: N250-300 is the ideal price. N200 is a very good deal. You can get N200 if the POP guy is given the job or the painter. It is a bad sign for labour to cost twice as much as materials needed for a job. I always try to achieve labour at 50% or less of cost of materials. 3 Likes |

rabcnesbit: It will be hard to use my project as a true guide because of the way that I'm managing it. I have purchased 30 tons of gutter sand at a cost of N23,000 per ton and 76 bags of cement at N2,540 delivered to site. I have granite on hand. Labour was supposed to be N50K but I will add about half that because of certain challenges that he faced onsite. Hard for me to calculate the area, I can but for me it's not necessary for my project. So the only useful bits for you are the price of gutter sand and cement in my locale. |

rabcnesbit: The tank at the top. The roof starts at the point the block work ends to the apex of your roofing sheet material. Kindly take a look at the tank stand behind this build.

rabcnesbit: Another thing to consider is safety and most importantly aesthetics. Some of us on here loathe this ridiculous high water tanks. If you are building a non-commercial building then you should consider a pressure pump. It can easily be powered by a small solar system and provide pressure on assistance. It's sad though that we are even discussing this as pipe-borne water should be a standard in Nigeria of 2018. |

EgunMogaji: Thank you. Very useful info! So, all the materials I need is just cement, gutter sand (is this same as sharp sand?), and granite? Do I need iron? 1 Like |

Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by adanny01(m): 11:14pm On Mar 18, 2018 |
Shegman22: Personally, i never ever negotiate for screeding as a single job. There are complications if you do that. The problem to me is sanding. Who sands the wall, screeder or painter? I negotiate screeding inclusive of either POP ceiling or painting. The problem with screeding is that only the painter knows if the screeding is perfect or not. The painter may blame his bad job on the screeder. A POP guy will avoid sanding or doing the sanding well if he knows he doesnot have the painting job. I prefer to give the screeding job to painter who must screed, sand it perfectly and paint. This way, the painter is held responsible for a perfect finish. Its difficult to hold a POP guy responsible for a non perfect screed. If the POP guy screeds and sands it, paint needs to come on urgently to avoid painter overcharging to clean the wall for paint. This way the job comes cheaper. But N400 is an amount i will never pay for screeding. Probably because labour is cheaper in the north. Sorry to say. 4 Likes |

Okay, just had a quote for the water tank stand of N425,000 (installed with solid foundation base concrete, 20mm foundation bolt&nut, foundation plate , and tank base of galvanized net base) or N400,000 for wooden tank base instead of galvanized net base) for something like below. Is this a reasonable quote or on the high side? Thank you.

Idealer: Thank you, Sir. Once I'm living there more full time then I'll be replacing the metal inserts with swing open glass for more light and air into the garage. But for now let's keep "oju aiye" out of it ![]()

rabcnesbit: I,ve never heard of "wooden tank base". Please don't cut corners. N425, 000 is a good quote if the tower is minimum 40ft high. Insist on 40ft to safeguard good water pressure. |

aonag: I'm guessing it's the borehole that's why it's high. She can always bargain or you can post the quote here let's look at it. Also is the stand for a single deck or double deck building? |

maingain: The quote is very suspicious, note the following 1. What is 23.2 x2.4 =55.68sq -which unit of measurement is he using metres or feets ,what the guy just did was multiply the length of your sitting room which is 23.2 feet by 2.4metres which does not show uniformity,unless you want to tell us your sitting room is actually 23.2 metres by 2.4 metres,the implication of what he has done is to inflate the work area 2. The quantity of the materials are suspicious ,you can go to the market and sample prices of these items Don't get reaped off !!! |
