Hi All,

I just got RCC sump done of 8 * 6 * 8 demension (Approx 8000 Lts).

They charged me 6K for Barbending and 6K for Centring alone .
In total i was charged 12k for these two.

Charges stated: 15 Rs/Feet for Bar bending and 22 Rs/Feet for Centering.

Can any body please tell me whether this rate is reasonable or I have been duped?

Regards,
Somesh

The centering charge is reasonable.
I have given 26-28 Rs for roof centering but my barbending charges are based on Tonnes of steel + complexity of roof and number of curved beams...

For small work, the barbender will charge generally more. Even another barbender had quoted me Rs 18/sft for roof. So may be 15 is ok for sump tank
