The major problem. I gave up when I heard an electrical engineer bargaining with homeowner that he will provide him architectural drawings

Badgers14:


Good choice, the job looks neat as well.

What I like about this is it doesn't have that "jail" like feel to it.

EgunMogaji2:


Thank you Sir.

This was the alternate.

EgunMogaji2:


This is very nice Sir.

EgunMogaji2:


What if he was part of a collective of professionals that include referring architects?

To me as an engineer, there is need to see the floor plan to judge accurately if the quotation is ok or not.. But with my little experience without seeing the floor plan;

The quotation is ok ... the quotation is coming obviously from an experienced brick layer.

Note the following,

1, I dont see German floor being done with above quotation..

2, Two trip of sand (56k) won't be enough to do the concrete foundation blinding and shocking of foundation blocks

3, Cement (43bags) won't be enough judging from the amount of blocks needed.

My advice.. stay on site and see how the material bought for you is been used.... so if there is need to buy more.. you won't feel the brick layer cheat you...

For my current projects two bed and one bed flats joined together I use exactly two bundles of stakes at N1K each and one bundle of the long piece at N1.5K

Some of these outlandish estimates makes me feel sad for first timers.

n3xt:


Foundation

Blocks- 1500 - #225,000 1200. I’m using 1250 for the 2 flat. N150 per block is a good price tho.

Sand- 2 Trips- #56,000 Fair enough. I used 1 trip of 6 tyre tipper per block for Blinding.

Water- #10,000 Ok

Digging- #120,000 Too much. Budget 60k Max. I did less based on the quantity involved.

Granite- #75,000 Is the DPC inclusive?

43 bags of cement- #120,400 Too much for blinding and block setting

Pegging 70k Too much. Budget 20k max.

Casting 130k Is this inclusive of the DPC? If yes, it’s ok. If not, budget 60k



I’m giving you the above based on my ongoing project. I’m currently working on 123 blocks of 2 bed semi-detached bungalows with following details:

- 600mm deep foundation
- 150cm thick blinding
- 1250 blocks per unit
- 22 cement for blinding per block
- Blinding is 55k per block
- 1 1/2 trip of water at 5500 per trip (Blinding and Block work)

I'm selling a used gate in Elebu, Ibadan. It's in very good condition but could use paint. It's made from very solid metal.

Thanks.

EgunMogaji2:

Nevertheless, whats the location and price?

Twostep:
Please Gents, what’s the current price for a borehole now?

Also is it advisable to drill the borehole first and get a water tank to make water available on site before starting construction? Or one can just get a water tank and have water suppliers bring water from time to time to site ?

EgunMogaji2:


I’m in Elebu, Ibadan.

It’s odd but I haven’t actually thought about the price

Cost
Of borehole depend on your location

And getting it done befor your construction help a lot

EgunMogaji2:


If it won’t impact your ongoing construction budget adversely then you should sink a borehole immediately.

It’s a exactly line item number three on my process workflow.

1) Identify Real Estate

2) Purchase Property and Process Documents

3) Manufacture Source of Water

Price is dependent on your location.

michlins:
drill the borehole and pump water to any plastic tank you have on ground. When you are done with your building, give me a call for the standing tank construction

Thanks for the inputs, it’s Ikotun environs though.. any idea by chance?

Oga, were these blocks laid by a Nigerian bricklayer?You sure knows how to get the best out of these crafts men assuming if this blocks were set by a Nigerian mason. Neat and beautiful.

For those of us that likes cottage and antiques building, no need plastering the exterior. Just plaster the interior and mount your gigantic french windows.

My former school in Scotland has lots of buildings with exposed blocks that were well laid without plastering like this one
