    Just decking cost almost 2 million. i dont doubt you, i saw the breakdown, things get expensive man. no wonder when people selling them houses and asking 40, 50 million. we must pay it. cause building material not cheap.

  • @samuelmyles2509
    @samuelmyles2509 2 роки тому +13

    the material cost are out of the world. labour cost not too bad, could be lower still. at the end of the day $400,000.00 is just for decking.

    The decking is expensive, even though the labour cost is 400k, the other 1.4m is material cost. supposed it was an entire house.

    • @shevyweston5088

      That was a month ago, if she was doing it today, the material cost would be almost doubled. It crazy how the material goes up every week. I am building and a ton of steel just went up by forty odd thousand. And maybe by next week, it will go up again. It's CRAZY. But you can't get discouraged. One you start you will finish one day.

    The bamboos are always better. Might need more than metal props. But your decking can stay up longer

    the bamboos work wonderful, they are plenty but they look strong. and the cost of the bamboo outweighs the metal props, as the decking can stay up longer allowing the concrete to set properly.

    • @ravmercury3225
      @ravmercury3225  2 роки тому +1

      Cost depends on the size of what is being built and level of difficulty. It would cost more to dig a foundation. A quantity surveyor would be able to provide an estimate based on knowledge of what is to be built.

    Hi Mercury, enjoying your videos with the details provided. Did you compare using the premix cement truck to do the decking instead vs buying cement, sand and gravel + labour?

    • @ravmercury3225
      @ravmercury3225  2 роки тому +2

      Thank you HackedbyEbanks. I compared both options and the two premix companies that I contacted proved to be way more costly as they charge per cubic yard. Coast to Coast Concrete and Aggregates is located a minute from where I live and based on my calculations it would not have been more cost effective for me, since all they were providing was the concrete.
