jaydacorsair: bro the quotation is really giving me sleepless nights. Please comment a lil about the quotation of skeleton alone costing almost 11million Naira.

segcy.moor:



I need to tell this bluntly, if you see any one given you less than this is either not knowing what is doing or intend to ask for more later. I tell u this guy is being honest enough. Go for it!

jaydacorsair:


bro are you for real? peeps telling me is too costly and note the house is a 2 bedroom. How are my too sure that he wont ask for more later? The approval of the drawing and other things are running up to a million naira.

Chekitaut: location?

jaydacorsair:

Portharcourt

Chekitaut: The prices are ok, If u plan block foundation cast atleast 1plank before setting of block and apply beam at DPC together. this will increase the quot anyway, but is the best,are u using gravel or granite. Labour is not inclusive.

jaydacorsair:

gravel and labour is inclusive.

Chekitaut: send ur email

spyder880: Finally! This is cool, if he will give you a solid structure N11m is not too much for roofing a house in PH. Ask for reduction when you start each stage but keep an open mind and work with him as a friend not a boss. Keep pushing, I will like to hear your testimony when you start to collect the rents

brabus: Bros, don't even think of reducing anything. Just keep looking for more funds to complete the project. Truth dey bitter at times but its best we say it to ourselves.

If you can trust him, allow him to buy materials himself and safe yourself the stress of having to buy and buy and buy and all the N11,000,000 gone without anything meaning to show for it.

I go with my Oga Segcy.moor on this.

spyder880:

I second this, abi na third sef if you are buying the materials you might be interfering with the work. Sometimes you might not get him the materials he needs at the time he needs them. Just stay aside and monitor the quality of what he buys. In fact, I like it when my clients buy materials for me, I will be sitting cool and directing affairs while he sweats in the markets. Buying is hard work on its own. If you can trust him, let him buy the stuff.

diordaves: Segcy.moor, spyder880, Chekitaut, Brabus are you guys kidding or am missing something? You sanctioned that quotation as ok? The guy may spend well OVER 1 million naira just for aggregate and you call that ok? For "blinding" alone well over 1 million Naira and that is OK? I must be missing something. I mean its a two bedroom four flat with just over 20 columns and for "basket" a little under N500,000 ? Come on! May be its me or PH or there is a professional clan "tribal" territorial protection.

Poster I think there are hidden critical nodes to inflate the cost eg Aggregates, sharp sand, cement etc. I will do my best to tear down the quote later in the day. Good Luck and congratulations.

brabus:

Critical nodes bro!

The quote for cement here is N1700 o and the sharp sand is N25,000.

Nobody is here to say the guy is missing some other materials - binding wire, water, planks for bottom beams and lintels (abi those costs are part of the labour charges)

I dey see N500 peg as if the pegs would fly reach site. What about woods for profile. N1000 for 3in nail

I can agree on the aggregates because I'm not familiar with that terrain but on other things I think it is a fair quote.

Truth bitter like I said.

spyder880:

I have bought cement for N2400 as against a budget of N1900 last year. Cement was selling for N1900 and I was stupid enough to use market price as my quoted price. The client didnt even reply my mails about price readjustment and I had to fund the N500 x 330 bags deficit with my salary! Bros, e no easy o
