Nice learning and following the advice of great contributors here.

Please, what's the current price of doing POP with material? We are currently mad at our Engineer. We entered into contracts with him in September 2019 for our four bedrooms duplex. We accepted his quotes. His costs are inclusive of materials at every stage.

Now to do POP, he told us that the 4000/sqm charged for POP would not stand again and brought a ridiculous 7,500/Sam for POP.
We want to know the average rate the market is charging currently for POP. Mind you, when the money for POP was given to him then, he went ahead to purchase doors and installed water overhead tank carrier, saying those ones should come first.

Now, he saying he can't do POP again as the 4000 per Sqm earlier agreed cannot stand again.

He shouldn’t have charged for the pop when he knows that it’ is not the next thing to do.... the price of cement has gone up now... about 6800 to 7000 per bag.

Thank you Goodfaith.

I am also interested in this cost per sqm

We are paying the POP inclusive of material, which is charge per sq m and not buying the materials itself.

I want to know the cost/sqm for POP for my build as well

don't buy materials

I had a 90sqm done about two week ago
I paid 410K
410k /90 is like 4,555 per sqm

And they came out nice? I don't know the reason behind the cost variations in POP among installers.

5500, 6000, 6500, 7000, 7500, 8000, 8500 are the prices per sqm being brandished around.

Price are down
First you need to understand total materials you need
I was told 720k and 90 bag of pop cement
I told the dude it is 30 bags of pop cements x 7000 = 210,000
Sponge/Filas/ Fibre was 30kg x 2200 =66,000
Other stuff I said 15k
I paid 7k for transport
so I end up paying 417K



Present price
ABS POP CEMENT 40kg – 6,600 NAIRA

Sponge/Filas/ Fibre

1,700 NAIRA Per KG

My worry now is that the price he is quoting is almost double the former price. From between 4000 per sq m to about 7800. I thought it was even 7500 that he stated without knowing it was 7800. The price difference is much.

it depends on location. You wont get best quality pop with quality materials for less than 6000/sqm. that's the lowest for now unless dey just do "dabaru" job for you and mere home theater sound will make your pop start falling.

Goodfaith, I assumed these to be material costs only. What of labour costs? My man is quoting 7k per sqm, including labour

You guys should try to read the last few pages at least. a lot of vendors had posted prices of PoP and some samples of their work.

You don't even need to go too far before you find all the answers you need.

Buying any of these brands, what should I be looking out for in terms of capacity suitable for a 3 bed room bungalow?

For a three bedroom,
Each room one lighting circuit = 3 ways
Parlour and dining 1 way lighting circuit
Kitchen and probably corridor/lobby = 1 way
4 water heaters (kitchen and each room toilet)
4 ACs (parlor, 3 rooms)
I could count 13 ways DB at the minimum. It's always cool to have rooms for expansion in the future. So I did go for any between 15ways to 24ways single phase DB.

Hope response isn't coming too late. I was away for a while.
