I am so impressed with what you have done sir . . .Now can you get one of your numerous boyz to let us know the cost of the interlocking per sq meter or foot in Nigeria including all materials and labour?

mufutau55:


It has been aabout two years since I did mine last.
It contracted to Aventures... even though we have other expenses that arise, I will see if he can give us the accurate cost per sqm.
The stages I did mine was:
1. Bricklayers clears and manually levelled the yard and laid all the kerbs for landscaping.
2. We hired moulder to mould the interlocking bricks to our expectation and colors.
3. We hired the layers to lay and set the interlocking bricks.
4. We bought all the materials of laterite sand for levelling, stone dust for mould the bricks and also to pour on top of the latterite, then plastic to lay on top. Some bags of cements. The stonedust mix with low cement ration was mix and poured on top of the interlocking when finished. I remembered doing about 430sqm in total. I will check total cost and update later.
The cost will be much more now due to rising cost of materials. Thanks.

Hajji M.

Boss! I'm also quietly looking forward to this. I like the comprehensive outline. Cheers!

mufutau55:


I can give more line by line of items and cost later when I have full time to type it out. May be if I was on ground there are some areas I could have cut some cost.
Please look at my early post with the cost included now. Thank you.

As per my record. Total money spent was N1,585,000 for 420sqm which is around N3,774 per sqm.

@Egunmogaji, I see you are doing big things. Did you relocate back to Naija or still shuttling?

Dont be a stranger buddy.

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

Can you assist me

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.

QSFemi:
Good evening boss.

You need to provide more specific information on the roofing in order to get help.

1) What type of roof covering do you want to use?
2) Do you also need costing of the roof carcass (wood work)?
3) Do you have the roof plan or section of the drawing?

Question 1 and 2 is surely important. However a reasonable assumption can be made for question 3.
