hi, how much is a bag of pop cement in your neck of the woods?

Some weeks back while I was making survey, it was #3500 @ Abuja but yesterday the POP guy said there was scarcity which resulted to a hike #4300. I didn't believe him though, I will go check out for myself.

The overall quotation of 775k for two septic tanks and soakaway is not too much though the price breakdown for some works like capenter workmanship maybe high. I spent over 900k to construct two septic tanks and soakaway in September 2018.

am aware of the local govt fees but as a community most CDAs normally fix an amount to be paid by interested people for community development. Do you have an idea of what the guy would have paid to the community /Baale.
The Baale needs to give the person a letter to the LG and I know this is not free

Experts in the house,
Please I need help and advice here. Here is my situation. I am in diaspora building a block of 2 bedroom flats, 2 down and 2 up
So am currently on the beam and first floor slab of my 4 units of 2 bedroom flats in port Harcourt. At this point the engineer has used 226 bags of cement to do the staircase, beams and one of the two flats on the ground floor, the other flat will be done today which I think may take another 90 bags of cement, so in total I am looking at around 312 bags of cement. My worry is that is that I think so much bags of cement has gone into the slab and beam. The mix ratio he is using is 1:2:3 according to him. I bag of cement, 2 wheelbarrow of sand and 3 wheelbarrow of granite. Is this acceptable, what your advice. The area of slab is 288m2 and I have currently spent up to 3.6 million naira.

the guy is a crook. There are very honest people but you need to search very hard and make sure you compensate them. People generally dont appreciate honest people.

If I get you right, what you are doing presently is the decking of your two flats of 2 bedroom. If that is the case, then 312 bags if cement in overall is a bit on the high side. The mix ratio he is using in a more reasonable term is 1:4:6 which is poor for decking. The common minimum standard is 1:2:4(1 headpan of cement to 2 of sand and 3 of granite) also from your statement it seems the guy is using hand mixing and lastly why is he casting in bits.

Well 600 / 650 is not bad provided it's all round plastering (I mean: wall plastering, dressing of the windows and doors, window hood, iron protector fixture, belting etc)

* How good a plaster Mason is determines his worth (charge or labour).
Honestly a good Workman knows he is good likewise the bad one but the bad one will always give you you reasons why the work is or will be bad.

I suggest you don't manage your finishers ( a craftsman or workman who carries out the final tasks in construction or manufacturing process). A plaster Masonis one of the most important finishers in building construction.


1. Find out how good he is in percentage o. (60 or 85%)
So you must have seen the job he did if possible make sure he is the one that did it.

2. Don't make him look like the governor of your state so that he will not kill you with price.

3. Make him explainthe work he is going to do in details and if possible how he is going to achieve that. Mention the type of plaster you want.

4. Write it down and make him sign, doing that will make him sit up.

5. once you are sure he will give you 80% of what you want, need or desire beating the price low or too low will not be in your favor. (Moderately is advised)


Remember if a building looks better under construction than it does when finished, then it's a failure and the owner will hardly forgive that engineer, contractor or even the finishers he hired. (Have beauty and durability in the mind)

Thanks.
