There is no tile he won’t get at Orile Coker or Ojo building materials market.
If he insists on quality, then he can visit Emperor tiles along Apapa. They only sell Italian and authentic Spanish tiles. I discovered the place in 2007 for my first project.
Thanks will tell him

On the above discussion even though an engineer can prepare bill , I dont think it will be detailed like a quantity surveyor who specializes only on costing though most of our design software nowadays and presentation software gives the quantity and tonnage but they dont factor simple cost like transportation off cut of iron wastages etc..
Savage value of a project , when a project is profitable ,

we are not giving the in depth knowledge well while in school, some engineer already create a niche for themselves to cost civil works but its better we allow the Qs do their things and submit back to check if all materials are fully quoted for..

Engineer should stop trying to be Q's or Architect get them as frnds and enjoy discount

It seems you are either ill-informed or you just want to support nonsense. I wonder how much you had to dig to bring this link up. When you type BEME on Google, the you posted doesn't even show up anywhere rather there different writeups on BEME.

I wonder where you guys practice and your training. Even "builders" by their training are able to prepare costing for their project. Don't feel threatened unnecessarily. I personally do not do costing unless for minor works. There is no attack on QS as a profession here. I have many as colleagues and I refer them for jobs whenever it comes.

Listen to the experienced engineer. He's far more knowledgeable than you in the practice of engineering. I've read a lot of his thoughts on pertinent engineering practice problems here. I'm yet to read any one from you yet. I give you benefit of doubt though. If your surest bet to defend BEME is to run an arbitrarily google check for its existence or meaning, then you're far more ignorant than I thought. Google brings results about just anything searched and that doesn't even make the results valid, reliable or legal.

Your form of argument comes inform of insult which is toxic,
When you give a tiller job won't dey quote for the job, or any other profession because I sign out money and disburse fund makes me an accountant or can I even audit myself properly, SMH

There's a motion already in the house reason you see firm using a QS to produce their BEME , There's too much of floated price when prepared by engineer which makes project cost non realistic or unfinished etc There's a move by NSE then can't remember the outcome read more on it and stay informed boss ..

I come in peace boss ,

What are you even saying? Are you registered? If you are registered, did you go through the NSE route? As a matter of fact, creating a BEME is part of the NSE exam you would have to pass to get registered.

I repeat, this QSfemo is feeling attacked unnecessarily and he's been making false statements from his largely verbose comments. I just want to correct him that there is no law prohibiting engineers from costing projects.

Also, contractually, it is not in all circumstances that the same entity would have to cost and as well bid for the job. All I am saying is that there are engineers who specializes in cost engineering consulting. They are not contractor and they are neither "QS". They are engineers!

I didn't Google to show you what BEME was? I totally ignored you because it was funny hearing from you that claim to be a professional that BEME is a concussion by Nigerian engineers. I was only responding to the other guy who posted a link that I couldnt find in existence.

I’d like to drop my 10 cents on this QS and bEME issue. And I do not come in peace. angry

I think the issue “o ti wo Inu ara won”.

I feel that the essence of cost engineering (I think it’s done in 500L or so) is to actually teach Engineers how to do costing so as not to be totally naive but it’s not as elaborate as what they teach Quantity Surveyors.

Costing is a QS job.

Can Engineers do costing? Yes, on small jobs. Not standard jobs.

Let me give an example. Few years back we got to work on Abubaker Tafawa Balewa University (ATBU) sports complex in Bauchi..

The QS presented a bill. I went through it. I concluded the budget was not enough with a deficit of about 7 million.

Client insisted on that bill. So we concluded on client doing the materials supply while we do the Labour part.

Long story short, the project couldn’t be completed with the initial bill that was prepared.

My knowledge of costing saved me. Although the standard would have been to use an in-house QS to cross check the client’s QS.
