Good morning my people, these pictures are meant to stimulate the interest of people at the finish stages of their buildings where they might be needing tiles or doors. I was in Onitsha yesterday and as usual, stumbled upon these tiles selections as I was searching for the best choices for my various clients.

I dont sell tiles or doors in anyway, you can consult our in house tiles and door dealers to get the prices of some of these items in your own locations.

If I don't come in peace, wetin I gain?

negy2016:
@egunmogaji2 please can you share the address or number of this vendor. I really like the door. Thank you.

spyder880:


Another colour of same door.

n3xt:


Great collections.

I see Azuvi tiles - a very cool tiles design for the contemporary lovers.

EgunMogaji2:


Of course, these kinds of data share I believe is why Hajji set up this thread back in the day.

spyder880:


My brother, better things are there in the market, but money is the issue.

yungmin:
I salute the legends in the house. If you need to optimize your design or in need of standard structural drawings, kindly call us.

If you feel your working drawings are currently over design, call us for optimization. We may only agree on sharing ratio for any cost savings.

* Detail formwork drawings in Revit
* Structural design with staadpro
* Structural detailing with soficad
* Precise bar bending schedule
* Direct extract of material take-off from Revit.
* We can give you your material quantities for your carcass. You don't need a QS.
* All structural designs and drawing are to latest euro codes (many engineers are still in the ages of BS codes)
* And above all, you are getting a standard Julius Berger kind of structural details.

Call or WhatsApp: +2348144304310

Thank you

You did well by advertising the services and skills that you can offer. However, you do not promote your services while playing down another equally noble profession as yours. You said clients don't need Quantity Surveyor just because your software can be used to take off quantities from drawings. Your knowledge is actually very limited on the horizon of the QS practice. Quantity Surveying has lots of software that they used to prepare their Bill of Quantities. Softwares that do not only take off quantities but also prepare prepare of bill of quantities. Examples include QSCAD, MBBS, MASTERBILL among others. Do not think for a second that you've just discovered the most profound finding of the century just because your software used in design can take off quantities. It's nothing new. Even Revit and AUTOCAD do that. What you fail to grasp is that quantities generated by these softwares are "net quantities" in most items of work and CANNOT be used to order the right quantities of materials from the market. Besides, most items of work are composite items - concrete, block work, mortar etc which software couldn't even itemise individual quantities.

So, just advertise your services and leave QS out of your troubles.


I come in peace.

EgunMogaji2:
This one that everybody is coming in peace, I love it

Chairman, read to understand. I specifically mention "material take-off" and not "BOQ" and that is what I was referring to by saying that I can provide the deliverable without a QS. Also, most jobs I have done and even in my current place of employment, I simplify the work of the QS by giving them the material take-off which they then arrange in their professional way for pricing. And beside, Engineers do prepare bills as well. So....

You came in peace but your comment is riddled with insulting language. Even without Revit, I can prepare all the material take-off manually. So, I really do not know what your grouse is.

Just come ride with my club in Ibadan once you get your free bike

It would have been nicer if you show detailed picture (a sketch won’t be a bad idea) of how this can be achieved and the advantages/disadvantages of the proposed design.

I’ve called my clearing agent and already reaching out to the licensing office.

As a matter of fact, I’d be of best behavior moving forward.

QSFemi:
I didn't insult you in any way. I only told you to mind your design business and leave QS out of it. The bolded is actually laughable because that's the false impression engineers go about telling unsuspecting clients. Engineering practice as established by the law in the country never identify nor recognise costing as one of the roles engineers played. Doing so is tantamount to quackery. Same way we've draughtsmen doing structural designs without requisite qualification and competence. That doesn't make them engineers. Engineers preparing bills, no matter how badly prepared it's, is nothing but quackery. Quantity Surveying practice is also established by CAP Q1 Laws of the Federation of Nigeria (LFN) 2004, used to be decree No 31 of December 5, 1986 - an act of the National Assembly. Do well to familiarise yourself with laws establishing COREN in the country.

Back to materials take off from designs that you're bragging about, I still main the status quo, it's not a big deal. It's been around for years.

yungmin:


You are beginning to display your ignorance. Are you the one costing roads and bridges? What law established that engineers don't do costing? Please, state it? Or you don't know the is a full body of knowledge called cost engineering? Or you don't know cost engineering is an area of specialization for some engineers? What do you know by your training as a QS about bridges, roads, jetties etc. Have you heard of the term - BEME(bill of engineering measurements and evaluation)? Is it a QS' term? Stop displaying your ignorance.

Please, state the section of the law that prohibits engineers from costing.

QSFemi:
Get yourself educated first before throwing the word "ignorance" around. There's nothing like BEME in the eye of the law. It's just an unscrupulous attempt by engineers to usurp QS of their primary roles of costing. Come to think of it, you think the construction you mentioned such as bridges, jetties etc cannot be cost by a QS? How ignorant are you! Last two weeks, I prepared a bid for a dredging project brought to me by an engineer. Countless Quantity Surveyors are working with Julius Berger, Cappa and D'Alberto, CCECC (China Civil Engineering Construction Company) undertaking bridges, road construction, railway constructions. I've worked in a road construction company before costing nothing but roads, bridges and related works.

The term "cost engineering" is foreign to the Nigerian infrastructure development industry. It's never an area of specialisation in Nigeria. Rather, it's a specialized field used mostly in the USA. Due to absence of the term "quantity surveying" in the USA, cost engineering suffices to fulfil the role. Some of Nigerian trained quantity surveying graduates have undertaken post graduate studies in cost engineering in the USA. This should tell you that cost engineering is not domiciled only in the body of engineering alone even in the USA.

Nigeria gained independence from the UK and most of the tertiary education curriculum in Nigeria is fashioned after the UK model. In the UK construction and infrastructure development Industry, quantity surveyors are the only recognised cost expert on infrastructure developments - buildings, roads, bridges, jetties, railways etc.

The fight by engineers to oversee costing of infrastructure developments is an attempt to further drag the country further into the abyss of corruption that the country is already battling with.

Design and costing are two independent specialized fields and they're not mutually inclusive.

To submit, your ignorance that "what do quantity surveyors know

You are really ignorant in many ways and I cannot even begin to educate you. It is very stupid to say cost engineering is foreign to the AEC industry in Nigeria. And is even more stupid to say BEME was a concussion by Engineers.

You are being aggressive unnecessarily. Just go chill.

And you did not state the section that prohibits engineers from doing costing.

somehow:
I won't patronize anyone that brings down other people's legal business just to promote theirs.

I can't and won't trust such a person in any deal.

sonnie10:

Seconded

TEQ365VENTURES:
I need a trusted and honest Tiles seller in Lagos I can recommend to a friend who stays in Ondo. The reason is because he couldn’t get the tiles of his choice in Ondo and the ones he could still manage isn’t up to the quantity needed. Pls if you have anyone I can recommend to him kindly help out thanks.
