Many people have discussed here about fair pricing of workmanship in building. I got the shock of my life today when a painter was invited to come look at the ground floor of a duplex that has a sitting room, presit, dining room and a bedroom. The man said he was going to paint the the interior of the floor for 140k. I asked him what paint he was going to use, he aid that just his workmanship that I am to buy the paint. It is just plain paint, no special designs. Screeding has been done oh. I did not even know how to price, so I told him to drop his quote, I will get back to him. I put this here so that those who are in the business will know people are actually in need when they come here to ask what we think is fair for a particular job at a specific stage of their construction. 3 Likes |

alstacs:Around 40k should do the listed space. Modified: I doubt he would need more than four drums of satin and four drums of white emulsion for the ceiling. The painting of the aforementioned areas should even be lower than 40k. The painting and paint shouldn't exceed the 140k except he is going for high cost (not necessarily higher end) paint. 3 Likes |

I am glad to stumble upon this thread. How many bags of cement is needed to set/lay 100 9" blocks, 6" blocks? Because the land is sloppy, the bricklayer says it will take 6 coach(blocks) in height at some parts. He says he will use double wall at such places to avoid future wall collapse. Pls, is this right, or he should put pillars at all junctions. |

Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by Chekitaut: 12:48am On Jul 03, 2020 |
JWTheocracy1:30tons in the east is scam, just go for the so called 15tons but it is actually 10tons in it, range is 70-80k depending on the distance. The major reason i suspended the east service is fustration from co supplier... |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by Dennis3D(m): 1:59am On Jul 03, 2020 |
Hum2020:.. True. Granite costs in East is very expensive compared to Lagos. I remember working in Owerri 2018. 30 tons was for 240K then at Uratta Imo State. Note, the distance plays a role too. So if I want to put a range I would say 200 - 250K. Though they have some other things cheaper too like Blocks there are cheaper than those in Lagos and a few more materials. Their plumbing pipes is shorter than that of PH and Lagos too. In fact east has their own advantages and disadvantages when it comes to materials and workforce |

Dennis3D: Thank you for that detailed explanation. I don't base at home and this is my first project. With all these years of hardwork I won't like to pay more than the actual cost of materials. 2 Likes |

This is what he sent to me this evening... are all these the actual prices of materials in the east (Aba, Abia state to be precise). I will appreciate to be guided by the wonderful people of this forum. Note this is for remodeling of a storey building. If need may be, I can still upload the existing building here, so as to be guided properly.

JWTheocracy1: You are welcome. Good luck in your project. |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by Dennis3D(m): 5:53am On Jul 03, 2020 |
JWTheocracy1: Some things here seem to be high as per unit prices. However, I can only say the prices of things I bought then with time. So you can do your plus or minus yourself to get an average. Firstly, what do you need the 20mm for? Secondly, use this price range coz that's what we bought then for the two story building we did then. - 9 inches block - 145 - 155 Naira for one - 6 inches block - 120 - 135 Naira for one. - a trip of Sand - 16 - 19K then - 1x12x12 - 1200 Naira then - Bag of nail - 8,000 - Cement then a bag was - 2500 - 30 Tons Granite - 230 - 250K then depending on your supplier and distance to your site. This is just to mention a few. |

alstacs: That line sha "I will get back to you". Better say sorry I can't deal with this than to leave the person that way with that statement. It helps the person move on and maybe decide on how best to deal with clients subsequently. It's an honorable thing to dismiss a vendor, artisan or worker or even a contractor in a simple fashion than suspending or keeping the person hanging with that statement. If need be you don't say it in front of him. Leave them a text or whatsapp message thereafter. In my opinion, it's the best way to treat people. Positively or negatively in brings about a defining closure of a discussion. Thank you for your time. 4 Likes |
