Building is presently facing challenges, Rent & Taxes to Building is not in correlation anymore.

60m or more get you 4units 3bedroom duplex with BQ in terrace form on a plot of land rent is 1.5m to 2m each per annum. shocked shocked shocked

Recouping will take 10yrs. But selling each is range of 30m each. Developer these days maximise profits using substandard materials that call for repairs and maintenance in short time.

Our government is really fustrating every sector, CBN is the instrument used. Devaluation of currency at will, i think the best way to be save is selling value in dolllars is best option for business to grow...

I have turned a plot of land into a materials management yard. I'm stockpiling gravel, granite and sharp sand. With the new increase in price of fuel these guys will charge more.

No matter how much we stockpile, it can't a absorb the shock in the long term. I find it very difficult to present variations on private jobs to clients because getting the money isn't easy.

Still impressive! The only real estate is real estate. You are doing well sir.

I have pinged @Maverick and @brag3 to come back to our hangout spot but Just like the saying "10 boys can not play together for 10yrs". Ladies and gentlemen, I come in peace.

Thanks.

I moved back permanently in March 2019. I’m thankful to be back. I appreciate the folks that kept Nigeria going so I had a place to come back to and ever grateful to the USA for the opportunity.

is the 60m inclusive of land cost or just construction only?

Construction is such a broad topic, so what you have said should be be limited to building construction.

I am sure an Architect has no leadership place in a bridge construction, power substation, road construction etc

Who is team lead in a bridge construction, a civil Engineer. Who is team lead in a power substation construction, an Electrical Engineer. Who is team lead in a petroleum refinery construction, a petroleum Engr.


Yes, construction project management is relatively new but the practice has been there. People who are qualified for this position are usually people who have proven experience in project management. Another relatively new discipline is cost engineering.

I agree with the bolded. Cost Engineering is what some countries call Quantity Surveying

Like you said, a MANAGER can be in charge and oversee a construction project.

In the case being discussed, his father is already the MANAGER of the site. The position left is the Technical Head of the site which the QS is trying to usurp.

Professionally, (correct me if I'm wrong), I don't think a QS has business with quality of materials, just quantity. Also, compliance with design is the work of the Architect. Integrity of structures is the work of the structural Engineer.

But then, the Engineer has been trained to know at least a little out of ALL the other professions and that's why I think he's more ideally suited to lead a site.

For example, When I was doing my Masters in Engineering Management, the curriculum delved into so many aspects. Construction project management; Project planning and control, Optimization techniques, Logisitics and supply, Strength of materials, combinations, Calculation of Man-hrs, etc

I agree with some of your points. I believe the concerned person now has sufficient information to make a good decision

Plastering the house.

Follow the list below, note that some of the jobs can go on concurrently with the previous or next jobs.

Is windows and burglary not supposed to come before plastering? I could be wrong.

In Nigeria, yes the contractor must not be a professional engineer or Registered Engineer (RE in our case), but his construction must be supervised by an RE who signs an undertaking for the construction. You may never see the RE on site but he is responsible especially for QC/QA.

The government inspectors like you are hold the RE responsible for the QC/QA issues.

Secondly, every company registered with the government for construction activities must have an Engineer in the board of directors. So an Architect cannot register his own company as a construction company without having an Engr as one of the directors. I have given my credentials to some architects for this purpose.

The bolded is no longer a requirement. I just registered my own construction company Luminoux International Ltd, RC 1694769.

Thanks for your response. Any height between 1.5m to 1.8m. As long as it's a shed roof like the one in the picture that I attached.

If it were Luminoux International Construction Ltd, you must need an Engineer. Also, your company business as registered with CAC cannot be construction.

Most people register as general contractor.

Technically, they are closely related but not the same.

Quantity surveying is mostly related to building but cost engineering relates to engineering projects such as Petroleum Refinery, cement factory, Power generation station, substation or transmission line, ship building, tunnel construction, space ship etc.

QS calls their output Bill of Quantities BOQ
Cost Engineer calls their output Bill of Engineering Measurement BEME

What they do is the same but the scope is different.

Hahahaha...I see @BrabusNG is back on this thread...well, we have all moved on from the 2015 saga.

The question is ...Will I ever give him another project? No! And I can speak boldly for brag and Maverick as well.

But like I said, I'm here to learn and to look at fancy pictures.

Good talk my brother. Bygone is bygone now.
Make we look and learn. And since he came back he has been producing educative info. So, let's give him another chance as you have said. We may learn more stuffs..
I will be glad to see the old-timers return. Thank you.
