This page is for active contractor and site-buyer intent where the quotation depends on temporary power demand and equipment mix, not a fixed public price.
Why construction sites need a different sizing conversation
Construction sites often have changing power demand. The same project can move from lighting and cabins to batching, pumps, cutting tools, compressors or welding loads as execution progresses.
That means a generator recommendation should consider both current equipment and the next stage of the site plan. A quotation built on one rough kVA guess can miss future load changes.
Main quotation checks for site power
Contractors should make the equipment mix visible before asking suppliers to compare models.
| Quotation item | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Largest starting load | Pumps, compressors and motors can affect the generator recommendation more than small tools. |
| Welding or batching demand | Temporary industrial loads can change the duty expectation. |
| Runtime pattern | Short backup use and long daily operation are not the same commercial situation. |
| Mobility or enclosure | Site movement, noise and dust can change the preferred package. |
| ATS or manual changeover | Some sites need full transfer scope while others only need manual distribution planning. |
How to send a better construction site RFQ
Share the project type, equipment list, largest motor or welding load, daily runtime, expected growth stage, enclosure preference and shipment basis.
If the site includes several motors or pump starts, compare this page with the motor sizing guide, the ATS panel guide and the borehole project guide before approving the model.

What generator size is common for a construction site in Nigeria?
There is no one standard size. The right range depends on the equipment list, largest starting load, runtime pattern and whether the project will expand in phases.
Should a construction site choose silent or open type?
That depends on the installation environment, site noise sensitivity, ventilation and whether the machine must be moved or housed indoors.
Can you quote both FOB China and CIF Lagos for a site generator?
Yes. Buyers should compare both on the same technical scope so the commercial decision remains clear.
