[quote author=akinolaolujide post=55201353][/quote] and @all yeah its a twin duplex, i thought parapet is used to protect the roof/ceiling from thieves gaining entry tru into the roof through there. i told my architect that i want a flat roof... i hate those send down the rain roofs/roofs towering upto 20ft above the building itself, in western climes..such enormous space is turned into dwelling spaces/attic, but in naija with our climatic..that space is wasted...thus i see no need for it so does a flat roof need a parapet?.... no, i hvnt moved to site yet |

bixton: [b]@ THE BOLDED...it doesn't always work out that way...you might even be spending more in the final analysis, depending on the size of the structure and scope of work, speaking from experience. I was the post-contract consultant Quantity Surveyor on a bank branch development for one of the topmost Nigerian banks at Airport Road, Warri a few years ago. The project was repeatedly delayed due to community-related issues, for peace to reign, one of the resolutions was that the wife of the community's traditional head would supply cement, granite, sharp sand needed for the project to the contractor. Alas, her prices for these materials were far higher than the material prices that the contractor had based his tender BOQ on. You won't believe that at the end of the project, the contractor presented proofs of the excessive material price hike, such that the bank had to pay him a whooping N5.5 million additional just for the increases in material prices, not to talk about variations. Thus, it may be better to just negotiate and pay them off.[/b] 1 Like |

Mayor78: / In my opinion, experience trumps certificate unless you are not talking about education in Nigeria. Theory is different from practical. Do you want to be mesmerized with technical mumbo jumbo? Then get the so-called professionals who charge hefty fees for their certifications but rely on technical expertise of artisans to get the job done. Yes! You know them. They show up at a site in a nice car, throw a few theories around and plant a "supervisor" (assuming they do, some don't) to monitor the artisans. If the so-called professionals would actually do their jobs, there won't be any qualms. Their huge misplaced phantom ego is the priority. The more successful they seem, the less visible they become. Dude if I am paying you, screw your ego. If you are going to work for me, I will sit you down and ask tough questions. Anyone with a knack for researches can easily obtain most of the information online. It can be used as a reference point to call their BS. Some folks are smooth talkers with gift for garb. It doesn't help to know that the professionals might have "sorted" themselves through school. Experience! Experience!! Experience!!! \ 7 Likes |

gabbytabby: I think you're wrong Madam. He's an Alfa, and he always uses lots of Walahi Talahi, with more dashes of "Oloun ti oun nsin go ni je ki oun cheat yin Chief" It's hard to calculate how much money I might have lost due to this. The one that gets me the most is the water delivery. 1 Like

It's good advice to not rely on tonnage measurements for ANYTHING: rod o, sand o, cement o or even granite kpakpa. All na wash and subterfuge. Go for item count or load delivery. It's clearer to say 10 bags of cement than tonnage or 10 of 12mm rods than tonnage. As for sand and granite, just go by the type of vehicle or lorry. Look at the picture below; what's the tonnage? I don't know but I know is 65k during the recent currency squeeze in Warri.

earthrealm:It depends on how much you are willing to spend but concrete fascia does not prevent theives because they usually remove roofs to get into the house. If the house is not occupied. Main Job of the concrete fascia is to provide a more long lasting fascia free from frequent maintenance. And offcourse they are aethetically pleasing . Ask your architect for a review no matter the style there is a concrete fascia that works. 1 Like |

Daboomb:Yes its still applicable there is a new one for 2017 but cudnt lay my hands on that yet. Its reviewed every 5yrs i think. But even with this you can negotiate your projects. Most Architects dont expect you to pay exactly what is on the scale . You can always negotiate lower. The scale provides exactly same info other than upward review of the fees payable. |
