Gentle man; it’s being long I gave advise concerning this type of discussion here.
But let me tell you the truth.

The granite price @450k for 30 tns is very ok
The iron rod cost your Engr gave is VERY CORRECT provided he is buying original one like
REAL TIGER TMT .. the price in mkt now is 1.3 to 1.4mPer ton But if it’s ordinary local it’s far lesser

More so I can’t talk about the quantity needed bcs I don’t know the size of your building .
Furthermore he gave cost of carpenter together with Materils I.e bamboo, plank . 2*3 plank and the rest that is why the price is high, but you can price it to your budget
People should not assumed all prices are high without proper checking

Personally now I do asked my clients to buy materials themselves to reduced my stress unless if he or she says time can’t permit,then I will do the buying

Check again properly, he quoted 650k for 30 tons of Granite and 450k for 30 tons of sand which very outrageous. This Engineer is planning to build himself another house off his Client.

I am looking to build a 3 bedroom retirement home in Kwara State this coming new year. My problem is I am in the diaspora and don't know how to go about engaging a trusted professional to oversee the project. I am also don't want to engage family on ground for this project.

Please advice me guys.

How do I hire trusted contractors that will deliver quality work and not drain me with inflated quotes.

Thanks


I can recommend a professional Architect also from Kwara State and presently working with Master Builder. You can give him a try.

Considering the state of the country
With a sincere heart it will be difficult finding that person. But if you have a sister like mine you are 💯 good to go. the only problem is that if she’s not conversant with building materials prices and all that, those artisans will drains her but with your help alongside her’s you all would achieve your desired results. But ensure your trust your sister well enough those gender are more trust ONLY when she’s your sister/mom. However, if the above option isn’t available to you, I might be able to give other suggestions. I wish you well.

My sister is far away in her husband's house grin Thank you my Brother.

Please, help me look in this quote for parapet precast or concrete fascia; whatever name it applies.

The builder quotes the following materials:

1. Rings triangle—7dozen, 4k per dozen = #28,000
2. 12mm TMT 20 length —#12k×20= #240,000
3. 10mm TMT 6 length — #8500 ×6= #51,000
4. 1/4 rod 18 length —#1600×18=#28,800
5. Sharp sand—#100,000
6. Granite— 15tonnes=#180,000
7. Cement 45bags—10,000×45=#450000
8. Bamboo 50 pcs—1000 per one= #50,000
9. Workmanship #380,000

Total= #1,507,800

Please, help me check the quote if they're not artificially inflated. Also, if the labour cost(workmanship fee) is moderate we can negotiate further.


Thanks.
