Please professionals help me review the attached labour charge for construction of raft foundation for two bedrooms & a room self contain in Ojo Lagos. In my view, I think this amount is at the high side. kindly advise me on the right amount to bargain for this project.

all these thread keeps inspiring me to save up and build my own house ASAP

Firstly, you have to understand that prices in cost varies pending on the person involved

*price for pegging slated at 30k isn't bad

*price for digging @ 20k is fine too

*price for blinding @ 30k is okay

*Then for the carpenter and welder, if you have pillars all round the foundation and a chain beam i think the price is fair but u could further negotiate slightly at-least to ur own advantage

*The 240k for casting does it include materials? If it doesn't then that's a kill

For the filling, how did you guys arrive at that price since the foundation is yet to be dug and block work set to dpc level. I think u should finish up with that before negotiating the filling.

Piling 45k, hy must be very short piles infact I think this extimate may be a desperate one to get the job.

You have one of my designs as ur dp. Hope u don't start claiming ownership later on.

Thanks for this wonderful contribution I really appreciate it.

* The foundation will have pillars all round and be will casted all through with four plank height all round.

*The 240k for casting does not include materials It for casting of the foundation up to DPC level only.
