Please help with realistic estimate. What's the detailed stage by stage cost of building a 4 bedroom duplex (4rooms) with only one parlour and double 2bedroom flat (1 down, 1up) all joined together. How many blocks will it take on the average. We are moulding blocks while waiting for the plan. Total built area is 254sm. Thanks |

With all that i have read here, i appreciate professionalism the more. I see more and more the need to engage professionals....geotechnics,structural engrs,building engrs ...my wife is already worried hearing me talk of a QS, she go shout when she hear this new additions. Her dad gave a contractor his storey building to construct...this person built a block of 4 flats with no staircase. used scaffolds all through. when site owner visited, they had to construct 3 new external staircase....the cost for build another bungalow. my first building, i was away...apparently someone set foundation without my approved building plan, claimed it was forgotten so "site engr" just "draw plan" on site...........i gave up. For someone like me who looks out for straight tiles, proper stair case measurements....engr draw plan on site choi...front columns bent....planned space in front cant take a car as planned...roofing woodwork higher than planned... brethren...spend that initial money on professionals and have peace of mind. 3 Likes |

Hello, i have seen this claim a few times in different places for this product. how can you proof this? Can you do a sample cost analysis with a simple work e.g. raft foundation or pillars/columns to support this. This should show cost comparison of this shutter/formwork with conventional 1x2 wood or the newer boards. I will be interested if only the cost-effectiveness can be proven and believe others will be as well. i believe there is no doubt about the other advantages (speed and neat finish) but have my doubt about this will be cheaper. BTW: this is not an "innovative" product/technology going by the true meaning of that word, nice product anyways. mrinsurer: 1 Like |

megacontrol: You hit the nail on the head! Its very easy to say "I charge #3,500 for 8ft x 2ft and it is cheaper by 60% without backing it up with statistics". What he should have done is a comparative analysis of the form of: a.) one 12ft x 1ft board costs say #1,000 (therefore an 8ft x 1ft of it will cost #700) b.) therefore an 8ft x 2ft of it will cost #1,400 and a pair will cost #2,800. Let us add additonal #500 for Nails and batons (just for the 8ft x 2ft only), making a total of #3,300. So, a pair of this iron formwork costs #3,500 A pair of the same size using wood costs #3,300. How is #3,500 cheaper by 60%, when compared to #3,300? Which kind of Mathematics invented that figure? 60% cheaper, of 3,500 means the wooden option should cost #5,600........ whic is not true as l have shown above. From the simple calculation above, we can conclude that it is NOT CHEAPER AT ALL. It is actually costlier. But it has its own advantages in terms of speed of erection, neatness, e.t.c. What the proponent of the idea needs to do (l dont think l am saying something ee does not know already but "excessive profiteering built on minimum turnover" seems to be our way of doing business (business model) around here while over there, it is "moderate profiteering built on massive turnovers" ) is to recondier his pricing model. He may get three people using his product in one month at the current price or he may get thirty people using his product in one month, at a much lower price. Which model brings in more profit? Though, which model he prefers, is up to him. Nuff said. Lastpage! 2 Likes |

desiji: I find myself between rock and hard place when it comes to having solar system. I was spending 4000-4600 naira per day on petrol the last timeme I was in Nigeria. I was basically on generator 22-23 hours per day. My problem is spending between $9500-$11,000 on European solar gadgets or inferior solar system from China or India which won't cost me more than 2 million naira but guaranteed to not hold up for more than few months as read in the available reviews online. My dilemma is; why should I spend $9500-$11,000 on 8kva solar system on a house I don't even spend more than two weeks in a year? Does it make any sense at all? I'm just not convinced yet. 1 Like |

lastpage: Nice analysis sir. It is not cheaper than wooden formwork. the 8ft x 2ft ( 1.44sqm) will cost an average of N2,500/sqm. timber form using very sound timber ( 25 x 300 x 3500mm) cost of timber = 1200/sqm cost of the strut, braze, nail and binding wire and occasional bamboo brazing = N600 cost of workmanship = N300/sqm Total cost breakdown = N 2100/sqm ( which is 4,100 per pair ). At first glance at this two type of formwork, the prefab type looks quite cheaper at least 39% cheaper, but looking deeper into the advantages and disadvantages will give us a clearer picture of which is better. The prefab formwork: It is neater and faster than the conventional type of form using timber or wood but can be very difficult to braze when the beam thickness exceed 0.6m (2ft deap beam). when use for raft foundation, it will be difficult to join them verticall and you will need to provide extra brazing in the form of wood and bamboo, this will automatically drive up the price. it is not that flexible to use for raft or beam fromwork because there are cases where you will need to form a beam that is less than 2.4m (8ft) in length, since you can't easily cut the the form work. It is difficult to get the joint of the beam or raft formwork done The wooden/timber form It is more flexible It can easily be brazed by batting and bamboo during raft construction. It can easily be reused for subsequent job like the lintel or the slab/decking during construction In summary, Timber form will be ideal for custom built home, where the depth of the raft exceed 0.6m (2ft) while the prefab will be ideal for mass housing design where the raft beam is design to be in multiple of 8ft in length, for drainages and other infrastructure project 2 Likes |
