Cost of laying blocks in Nigeria 2024

Nigerian bricklayers charge for labour cost by counting number of Blocks laid, by work done per day or even by partition, as a building contractor, whether you are going for daily pay or by counting depends on so many factors surrounding the project you want to execute. The price for a work Gang (2 Mason and labourer) is ₦11,500 per day while that of paying by count is ₦70 per block currently.

Professionals always recommend the former rather than the later since by counting will always be abused and usually does not make for quality work. It becomes an option where quick project delivery is above all factors and where these blocks does not serve as load bearing members.
