Here goes. Cost to roofing including ceiling. The addendum and caveats to follow. This is for 4 units of room and parlour self contained and 2 units of 2 bedroom flats. 1) I do have a lot of time on my hands and over 10 years knowledge behind me to do the costing and know what i do need at each stage 2) I self project manage and supervise all my buying. 3) I virtually lived on site. 4) All professional fees are waved because this is phase 2 of a much larger project. Also because of these, stuff like borehole water was already on site. 5) We pulled down a bungalow and reused windows, roofing wood and filing sand all of which i already adjusted for in the costing. Attached below is the spread sheet of costings to roofing. 1 Like 1 Share |

Zeebeeee: Sorry I would have give you my workers but I don't release them out. All of them are Nigerians, well skilled. |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by gbadexy(m): 2:03pm On Aug 13, 2018 |
Those so called togolese are over rated. I will go with well skilled nigerian artisan anytime. Those foreigners aren't even as cheap as we were made to believe and they use underage workers learning on the job also. |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by Daboomb: 2:18pm On Aug 13, 2018 |
gbadexy: They use to be good in the past but like everything human, charllatans among them have realised that easy money can be made in Nigeria so, even the one that knows little to nothing about Tiles, just need to say 'l am Togolese', and they get the job ![]() ![]() One did a house for me (even left his under-age worker to spoil the grouting) and it was so bad that l just asked him to pack his things and disappear immediately. ![]() ![]() |

Daboomb:Exactly sir, I think many of them are trooping in because mentioning their nationality gives them job easily. Both the skilled and semi skilled. |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by gbadexy(m): 3:18pm On Aug 13, 2018 |
Zeebeeee:No sir. I will ask from some of my clients that have neat plastering though. |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by rotecch77(m): 3:43pm On Aug 13, 2018 |
Here are some plastering done by my guys ...Nigerians ooo So get Nigeria men as your 1st choice, negotiate with them and supervise your job if you dont have builder or engr to do that for you.

Daboomb:You are right, I had a small project to do the tiling few months ago, about 125sqm in total, a Togolese was recommended to me and he said 450naira / sqm, I told him to reduce the price, he came down to 350 naira, I finally got the job done at 250 naira / sqm by a young Yoruba guy in lagos, he was not desperate for the money but to give me job satisfaction, he did very well with the tiling and I went out of my way to compensate him handsomely, all his feeding for him and his boys for 3days was borne by me as well, the other building l have on ground will be handled by the same guy, very humble and he knows his onions, the Togolese guy later called me to see if I will give him the job, l told him to buzz off, I am not carried away by the fact that you are a Togolese ![]() |
