This guide will help you to determine an estimate of overall project costs. Your actual number may be
more or less, but it can be helpful to see an estimated figure.

Good for you. Just remember we have rules about advertising so do not mention any business names unless you wish to pay for space. :cheersty:

Hello Jamie

 

Did you post the  for construction projects somewhere on here.

I have been quoted a price for building the wall around our lot, it seems a bit expensive to me , but i dont have any prices to compare too

 

Regards 

John

Hi John,

That prices are for building only that is why it is more expensive compared to fencing construction. You can check with your local material supplier their for prices maybe they will offer you complete quote if you buy their materials.

Should take maybe 7 days to complete a 12m x 1.8m wall.... properly built and finished.  2 guys working.

Buy the materials yourself... as and when needed (the workers will tell you) . Labour costs approx p1000 per day, all in.

Materials (off top of my head)  p20,000 ?  Cement, hollow blocks, rebar, wire,  ply. coco lumber and nails for shuttering on the concrete posts. (probably 5 of those on that length) Sand and gravel.

Might need to buy them a shovel and a spade . Another p1000.  Hopefully they'll have their own hacksaw. 

Don't throw money away on people pricing the whole job for you.

Hi graham59,

Can you expound more on labour cost 1000k per day all in?

Please go over with these!

Use:

*13pcs of hollow blocks per square meter.

*1 column per every 3meters span of wall.

*10mm diameter rebars @ 0.60 meter or 600mm bothways(horizontal&vertical).

For wall footing, say 5lengths of 12mm diameter rebars.

For column footing, say 4lengths of 12mm diameter rebars

For column main bars, say 7lengths of rebars.

For column ties, say 23 lengths 10mm diameter rebars at 0.20mm distance each space.

For labor, say 400php per person per day.

Note: This is just my assumption and may vary depending on how you or the workers implement on the site.

Thanks,

Hope it help you a little.
