yungmin: / Imagine the discrepancies in Gbadexy's calculations in elementary mathematics. 54m - 32.76m = 21.24m (over-quotation is almost double the actual size). This is how they overbill unsuspecting clients. It is sad coming from an experienced contractor. / 2 Likes |

InvertedHammer:I am not understanding what you posted sir. Where did the 54m come from. I think my calculation underquoted rather than almost double the quote. The area is in sqm. Even an experienced contractor is infallible and learns everyday. I send my painters and screeders to take measurements and whenever I go to site which isn't often, I give quote based on experience on what such area would require. More knowledgeable person has given clarification and I have noted it. I would still like to learn how the measurement I gave was double the quotation sir. 12 Likes 1 Share |

n3xt: You mean QS boq?? ![]() ![]() What you uploaded here is provisional sum boq now. This is not a detailed bill of engineering measurement and evaluation called BEME Some years ago, I prepared a bill of quantities (boq) for my company for Lagos state electrical installation project. When we got to negotiation meeting the head of the electrical department ask the main contractor that she will like to know who prepared the electrical boq . She said the engineer detailed the boq, easy to understand and make it simplle The MD of the civil engineering company didn't say anything, the woman ask him again he later replied that the engineer was not part of the meeting. She said she will like to know me that there is position waiting for the engineer in Alausa. I laughed even my MD face changed as if the woman has given me employment letter . We got the job ooo but salary did not increase ooooo.... But I enjoyed my work especially when it comes to high rise building 3 Likes |

Gbadexy is not wrong. Here’s why Length of room = 12ft (3.6m) Breadth of room = 12ft (3.6m) Height of room = unspecified. The estimate given by the engineer was for the total area of the space. If I get that figure from Gbadexy, I’ll doubt his competence. Assuming the height of room is 2.7m To calculate the surface area of a wall, multiply 3.6 x 2.7m = 9.72m To calculate the total surface area of the room, multiply 9.72 x 4 wall = 38.88m Please Note: The total result in litres is for two coats of paint for some of the paints I’ve used. ________ If you divide the result by 2, you’ll have 19.44m which is almost the same as Gbadexy’s figure - 19.5m 4 Likes |

n3xt:Thank you sir but I think I actually made an error with the calculation and gave the total area as 19.5 sqm. I'm suspecting @ invertedhammer multiplied the 19.5 sqm by 2.7m. I would like to learn further from him though. I appreciate your explanation. It further buttress the proper calculation. 5 Likes |

The expanded Tractor Cab lineup for John Deere and Kubota includes a new 5-ton semi-trailer option. Today's most giant 16-foot light duty forklift and other features will improve the efficiency of harvesting crops across all stages of the growing process. The new harvesting equipment will give operators more confidence as they complete more large-scale harvesters with the most up-to-date software and technologies available today. I got these two pieces from Earthmoving Unlimited. The guys always have the best types of equipment. |

yungmin: Here’s the discussion before the OP asked his question. Agreed he didn’t say he want the measurement for the wall area but he’s asking a paint contractor question and not a tiler or POP Contractor. So the answer he got is not off tangent. I think the best would have been to point him to the error than to assume his position. I’d be expecting total surface area from a painter and not area of floor. 3 Likes

Good people, please help me evaluate this quote for frameless transom windows. The rate per window looks really alarming! I am tempted to go for normal casement windows, just that the quote for that too is not very different from this. ![]()

Bosses please help me and access this quotation i got from an electrician for only the ground floor of a 2bedroom and 3bedroom flat in a 2-storey building. Please I would need all advices on the type of good wiring to use for steps to follow when wiring a building because I believe wiring is one of the most important aspect of any building. It's a rented flat but i would need good wires to buy that would last very long with good durability. He said the Labour charge is negotiable and the cost of the pipe is the bendable one for conduit, he said the boxes can stand the test of time and the distribution box is the second grade. Please I need your inputs on this!!!! 1 Like
