Charisdesigns: It is international practice to showcase 2Ds even 3Ds with accompanying floor plans which are subject to modification at prospective clients' request. I think this is what Egun is getting at. I don't think you're expected to splash a paid up client's floor plan here or any other place. I will not like it for obvious reasons. But it is acceptable to showcase model floor plans to accentuate your knowledge, skill and competence. It is done internationally. The game plan is to tentalize your audience not only with your ability to put together a 3D but working floor plans as well. And this cannot be a bad thing. I'm with you regarding some people downloading model floor plans and running away with them. This is a situation you can't help but I think you will get more work than a few freeloaders. 3 Likes |

Hello, can someone please help with an average estimate of what it will cost to fence and put a gate in a building on half plot at Ogun state? |

MrOkenwa: To put it in better context, I am not building it myself. A real estate company wants to build about 25 units of 2bedroom duplex with bq and 3bedroom duplex with bq in Abijo and handover keys to subscribers. The prices are 23m and 28m respectively. My concern is if the said amount can do a good job. 1 Like |

Yansham: I believe it’s potentially possible due to the economics of scale. But I won’t be surprised if they review the price midstream because of the volatile market. 1 Like |

MrOkenwa:Sir, this kind of issue calls for careful and a painstaking contractual agreement. You should have consulted a QS and even have an agreement before venturing into stuffs like this. Don't just stop at surveyor or architect's service, include quantity surveyors too in this kind of approach. May you come out from the struggle oooo. 2 Likes |

Thank you for promoting quantity surveying services. Research shows that engaging a quantity surveyor not only reduces the entire construction cost by 25% but also leads to clients being satisfied about the entire construction process. uncleteeh: 1 Like |

MrOkenwa: So you gave money just like that to build a house without having to see a complete BOQ/BOM; do people still do such things? Even if you don't intend to bargain, seeing a complete BOQ/BOM is a proof that the building will reach completion and that's the only thing that stands as a legal document. I hope Yansham will not be making that mistake....not now that price of building materials is climbing....... 2 Likes |

I'm sorry for the meas you found yourself. Like I've said in the past, the scope and specification of work to be done by an appointed builder or contractor should be clearly written unambiguously and should be followed to the letter. Building clients are encouraged to hire quantity surveyors to help not only in this regard but also establish the construction cost based on the drawings and specification. Even during construction, quantity surveyors should be engaged to see to the execution of such specifications as defined in his Bill of quantities on behalf of the clients. Most often than not, clients are not trained in the technicalities of the construction process. MrOkenwa: 2 Likes |

Hi guys, Thanks for always helping out. I need your help again. My tiler gave me an estimate and suggested that I should use 60×60 Spain, Italian or CDK for the ante room, sitting room, and dining room. Then use Good wlll for other places in the house. After making my findings I got to know that spain, Italian, and CDK are between 9k and 10k. This is expensive for me. Please, can you suggest the best Nigerian product with almost the same quality as those imported tiles that I can use and get at an affordable price? Thanks! 2 Likes |

generationz:what is the size of your land. 60 x 120 or 50 x 100? Is it waterlogged or dry land? Do u want to use 6 inches or 9 inches? With this little calculation below you can help yourself, if you can't, I can help u with the calculations. The Simplest Way To Calculate The Numbers Of Blocks U Need For Your Fence The simplest way to calculate the numbers of blocks you need for your fence project, assuming you are fencing a land measuring 120 feet by 60 ft, a standard plot This calculation is based on 9 inches block fence . The measurement we are using is 120 ft (length) and since we have two lengths that is multiply by 2 which is 240 ft. (120 x 2) = 240 The breadth is 60 ft and also since we have 2 breadths that equal 120 ft (60 x 2) = 120 Then (240 + 120) that is 360 feet perimeter line fencing. The calculation (we are to convert this 360 feet to inches ) since a foot is 12 inches , now let us multiply 12 inches by 360 ft which is 4320 inches. Now to get the line numbers of blocks that will go around the fence perimeters of 4320 inches or 360 feet, we would need to divide 4320 by 18 inches, since the length of any block be it 6 inches or 9 inches is 18inches. Now 4320 inches divide by 18 inches is approximately 240 line of blocks , then we must multiply that by the numbers of coaches of blocks you want for your height, assuming 7 ft which is 9 coaches that means 240 multiply by 9 which is 2160 blocks, i have been using this method for years without any mistake, and for this work, you only need 30 bags of cements, one bag of cement to 50 blocks. for your pillars between the fence, let assume 6 blocks from one pillar to the next pillar, that means 6 divide by 240 which is 40 pillars. 40 lengths of 12mm iron rod, since one pillar is equivalent to 1 length. 3 lengths of 16mm iron rod for the 2 big pillars holding the gate. 90 planks of soft wood for the framing. 1 truck of granite (granite would be use for the wall foundation and columns or pillars ) 90 tons of Sharp Sand or dagbolu. Let me know if this help ma 10 Likes 2 Shares |
