EgunMogaji2:I couldn't help but quote you sir. @ bolded, you just established the same thing my former boss (in his sixties) and a mentor (in his fifties) have being "sounding" to me. Nothing will change. Don't fool yourself. Anybody that believe that this country will change is only deceiving himself/herself. It will only get worse. Just find a way and survive amidst this ever consistent and increasing chaos that we find ourselves. 1 Like |

I am very confused pls... I am being charged 1.130 million for labor cost ONLY for forming of blockwork to lintel level. This doesn't include concrete cast or engineer's fees. Am I over reacting? See plan below Building a 4 bedroom Duplex with 2 bedroom flat and BQ

yinkaoke: For me, mint green or sky blue living room walls combine with cream floor tiles and brilliant white POP ceiling are a polygamous match made in heaven. But there is a caveat as it could all easily go wrong. # your walls must be superbly finished (good plaster job) and primed prior. # Your POP (no PVC) must be brilliant white. # You must use a good quality paint. For consultation and sale of top quality local paint of international standard contact Gbadexy here. You will be glad you did. 2 Likes

ladyteeks: At N60 per block setting that will give you 18,000 blocks to lintel level. Will that plan consume 18,000 blocks to lintel level including foundation? I don't think so. That labour cost MAY be way too much. The average industry cost for block setting is N60 per block. With this knowledge, go back and re-negotiate. 3 Likes |

diordaves:Thank you very much sir. I feel very honoured to have met your expectations and found worthy of recommendation. Whatever colour combination you suggest is what I would automatically go with sir. Your in-depth knowledge on most aspects of building, vast exposure and class made me anxious in supplying you and I was glad I did as you are talk and do. I advice madam to strongly consider the colour suggestion and wall preparation option given to her. 2 Likes |

Thank you very much. I knew I wasn't overreacting when I said it was way too much. According to the quotation, the estimated blocks to be used is roughly 8500 diordaves: |

I figured too. There is no way labor would cost that much. This is someone I tend to trust and now I am doubting if I want to continue using his services. kopell: |

Is concrete work, the same as the German floor? That is not part of the fees. About how much do you think is the average for the iron bender and capenter? Chekitaut: |

ladyteeks: Is the pics above from the supervisor/engineer? If yes, that job doesn’t deserve the amount charged. Below was done at N50/block. All Labour/Supervision fee for the project was just a little over 1.3m Project - 3 units of Terraced Duplex

Chekitaut: And where the father is forced to leave and handover to the Child, he continues the same thing the Father was doing: LOOTING.! Like Father, Like Son. ![]() ![]() Even Daughters sef don follow join. ![]() ![]() Up till about three years ago, l never wanted to hear anything about Nigeria breaking up, bad prediction or people saying "Eyin Oyinbo, ewa funmi ni Fissa". I was a very strong supporter of a big, strong, United Nigeria and let me confess, l was one of those 'honest' fools who believe-in and voted for Buhari, l was really expecting that he would use his military experience, take charge and get things done quickly to move Nigeria forward. I campaigned for him , using his PROMISES. (Power, Anti Corruption, Industrialisation, Roads, Agriculture, Exchange rate, Employment, Housing, etc). But look around you and tell me if corruption has reduced or if insecurity has reduced? In n this Govt, they used #2Billion to PRAY for the defeat of Boko Haram, that is after five years o! ![]() ![]() But now, l realised that I WAS SCAMMED! Today, l am gradually replacing this Nigeria that l love so much, with another country, in my heart. My offsprings cannot grow-up in this forsaken environment, unless something is done urgently, starting with breaking up the country into four regions (North, East , West, Middle Belt and South) so that each region can grow at its own pace, practice its own religion, impose its own values and fight its own battles, whatever that may be. With what l have seen in the last five years, l can bet anybody that Nigeria will slip into Civil war, within the next five years, if things continue to go at the current trajectory. This is my first time of predicting such bad news, not because l want it but because that will be the result of the actions being taken by those in power today. I hope they will have a rethink so that this bad prediction will not happen, that is my prayer. Country appears doomed and will be worse that Somalia + Yemen, when Sh!t hits the fan. Nigerian Leaders, from all regions, the Elites but especially the current ones in Govt, have ruined this country beyond imagination and they have mortgaged its future, for the next 60yrs. I really weep for this country, so blessed with everything you can imagine, yet so ruined by Evil Politicians and their Elite friends, l hope they all rot in hell, in the hereafter. May God help us, because even 'Protesting' is not helping us. 7 Likes 1 Share |

ladyteeks: The most trusted ones are the ones you should be most careful with, because they know your guards are down. ![]() TRUST BUT VERIFY (just as you are doing now). ![]() ![]() Try an estimate the number of Blocks you'll need, based on the dimensions of your building plan. One Block is 18" long, you can estimate 4 or 5 Coaches to Window level and Four Coaches for Windows (minus window and door areas) , with one or two coaches (max) more, to Lintel level. Multiply your blocks by #50/#60, to get an idea fo what to negotiate, that #1.13M price dey vibrate my body. ![]() Edit: To be on the safe side, you might confer privately, with our resident @QSFemi, to give you a Material, Quantity and Pricing Schedule, which l think will really help you a lot and save you from Shylock Contractors. I am certain he is a gentleman (from his random acts of kindness on this thread) and will not charge you a vibrating price, for his service, you will certainly be glad you did. 3 Likes |
