EgunMogaji: Lolz, Hmmmmmm Is block the only component in a house? The cheapest component in building is the block works and yet it occupied the most space so if you think you have made great saving doing your block calculation yourself. Then be prepare to pay more because the artisans (bricklayer, painter, electrician etc will milk you) when you start wall plastering and floor screed, because I bet you can't do those calculation yourself. Are you go8ng to do the calculation for roof carcass (timber), roofing sheet, paint and electrictical material yourself. Please be guided a lot is involve in putting up a building even for a small 2 -3 bedroom bungalow. If you skip the service of a Quantity surveyor you will save little money but end up spending it on material cos it's either you under buy and have to spend extra on transport When you have to buy the quantity left or you buy far more than is required. Then by the time you add up all this little extras it will be far more than what you will have paid a QS to do a proper Bill of quantities (BOQ) or material schedule for you. Be wise and not be penny wise pound foolish |

glambo: Thank you for your flaccid contribution, I believe the essence of this thread is to serve as a guide or guesstimates for potential home owners to cost every stage of the building activities. As for the calculation of woods for roofing,plastering of Walls et al, there are numerous threads on these discourse to guide potential home builders so as not to fall prey to Hawks and hyenas QS and developers/builders |

glambo: You wrote nothing but gibberish. Is block the only component in building? And you think that you’ve asked an intelligent question in public? All the nonsense that you wrote doesn’t negate the fact that the services of a QS is a complete waste and a sham in small self builds. You type this nonsense as if you can calculate to the last bucket of how much sharp sand to order. Keep fooling yourself. 1 Like

EgunMogaji: EgunMogaji: Lolz I don't know this is the kind of person you are, Sorry I don't engage low minds like your who resort to insult when they don't have anything to back up their baseless claims. When you are done misleading people for your personal gains they will realise. This is for those who really want to know and build but not in the construction industry or know anything about buildng. Please take precautions. For the building design above you can't spend less than a million to achieve it to final finishing so why just run the risk of investing such without a professional advice. The service of an experienced student QS or fresh graduate QS will go a long way at a every minimal cost say 25k. And you will get your material schedule and even a bill of quantity which will service as your guide when you buy and negotiate with artisans. Thanks 1 Like |

EgunMogaji: ![]() ![]() Just because of you. / Does it even make sense that someone will be talking in mm in a project as big as a house? Try marking in mm and see errors in measurements everywhere. Inches will be pardonable. US does not use SI units and their buildings are not collapsing. As a matter of dissent, I don't want to use SI units or US system anymore, I want Nigeria's units of measurement. Nigerian engineers and mathematicians show your faces! Don't even get me started with Quantity Surveyors. Let's say it is the worst way I had wasted money. \ 1 Like |

Please I will prefer if we can continue this thread as it is quite informative to nairalanders. I will also like professionals like civil engineers,architects and quantity surveyors to drop their two cents or more of wisdom every once in a while without feeling their progression is threatened. In an environment where people are being ripped off by lazy and inexperienced get rich by all means quacks posing as professionals. It is actually refreshing to have this kind of knowledge to arm oneself with. And for the inexperienced professionals who feels threatened, note that giving helpful hints won't take away from your marketability but will help build trust and let the client know what to expect and properly build a budget for his project. 1 Like |

My own experience is that bricklayers take about N6000 per day labor inclusiveto lay a hundred blocks. So you would be looking at about N120000 to lay 2000 blocks 1 Like |
