Woodwork for roofing.

Experts in the house, help me check the following quotation from the carpenter:

1. 3by4—80pcs—#2,500 per one = #200,000

2. 2by4—200pcs—#1,400 = #280,000

3. 3by2 —650pcs—#1,100 =#715,000

4. 2by6—480pcs—#2,500 = #1,200,000

5. 2by2—180pcs—#1,000 = #180,000

6. Nail 4 inch—2bags—#28,000 = #56,000

7. Nail 3inch—3bags—#28,000 = #74,000

8. Nail 2½ inch—1bag—#28,000 = #28,000

9. Transportation — #50,000

10. Total = #2,783,000

The workmanship is not included yet.

Assist me to peruse the above quotation. The building is a 4-bedroom bungalow. The length is 43ft by 72ft according to him. Also, he said the height of the kingpost is 22ft.

Thanks.



It’s a pity most of us don’t include our locations when seeking inputs on matters like this.

Not including location won’t avail people the opportunity to guide us nearly-accurately.

Nonetheless, these are prices you can check by yourself.

Visit a sawmill or plank market and don’t pose like a serious buyer when you get there.

Just prize each plank casually, one type in one shop or from one seller. Don’t forget - CASUALLY.

You can also interact with a known carpenter guy or a furniture guy elsewhere on the street.

Don’t forget the rule - CASUALLY.

If you look too serious, they will raise the price.

Those we bought 5 months ago (in Osogbo) were like 1/5 of what he quoted for you now.

I expect it to have gone up but not up to what he quoted for the planks.

For the nails, the prices are fairly ok but you can’t still enter one or two shops to check it yourself.

These artisans no carry fire for head. Don’t accept anything they throw at you. Some of them use jazz and voodoo to talk to clients when quoting, some times.

Ogun State has cheaper wood planks too because their loggers have better equipments and there are forests from Idi-ayunre, Ore, Ijebu to Oke Ogun and Ibarapa.

Proximity of Ogun State to Lagos State May make wood prices to be a bit higher than those of Osun.
Nonetheless, go and do window shopping.

Nawaoo! Nigerians! Very weird creatures
This is quite unfortunate.
The driver shouldn't have offloaded it for any reason, as most Nigerians are not trustworthy
Meanwhile, this is what we willingly pay for at least 750k @Enugu, with payment made upfront in most cases.

This is the current wood prices as at today 8th of Jan 2025 in lekki. Lekki prices are usually slightly higher than everywhere else so if your prices in your quotation is higher than these prices here, then you are being ripped off.

You are lucky that they have started using the granite for the building. Now , they can’t deny they did not order the granite. Take pictures of the granite being used.
Make an official report to the police and get a statement from the driver.

Hmmm. This matter is a bit wild.
Did your driver not ask for the said Abiola to reveal himself on site?
Before a material should be dumped on site, there must be some levels of trust or something.

7. Nail 3inch—3bags—#28,000 = #74,000

8. Nail 2½ inch—1bag—#28,000 = #28,000

9. Transportation — #50,000

10. Total = #2,783,000

The workmanship is not included yet.

Assist me to peruse the above quotation. The building is a 4-bedroom bungalow. The length is 43ft by 72ft according to him. Also, he said the height of the kingpost is 22ft.

Thanks.


I'm into sales of quality woods, kindly patronise me o. Some of the woods prices are fair enough. For the 2by4, 2by6 and 3by4 are good prices. I can give you a slight reduction on the price of 2by3 and 2by2 with the nails.

You can reach me on 08032339807 for more enquiries. Thanks

Hi, can anyone advise on how much it costs to erect a fence wall for 1 plot of land. The builder is advising 6m to erect a fence wall for the front and reinforce the back wall as there's a little fence already there. See below quote;

Columns and beams: concrete 65 cu.m @119,000= 1,785,000
Block Wall 160 sq.m@ 15000= 2,400,000
Reinforcement for columns/beams 0.65 tonne @1,600= 1,024,000
Formwork for columns and beams 150 sq.m @6,200= 930,000

Is there a way to do fencing with another method that will reduce the cost.? Thanks
floshady02: 4:15pm On Jan 08
@Sabibouy that quote is too high. I even thought you were in Benin, Warri or Edo because its only around those areas materials are quite costly.

That's effect of damp. First thing is to identify the source and prevent reoccurrence.
Then apply a stabilizing solution to make the surface firm, then screed or apply putty repaint.
