EgunMogaji2: "Please don't jump on the bandwagon of disgruntled contractors and those who bait them to act out."------agrred All contractors now need to use their head If you are taking a contract for a building Write out the contract stage by stage Write out the contract from Foundation to Germain floor After the Germain floor completion Write second contract from Germain floor to roofing level excluding roofing or to decking level excluding decking Next stage write a contract for roofing or decking Why-- the continuous change in Prices and the continuous unstable economy will do all parts well 2 Likes |

Kingdemu: Forget the theatrics, my last 4 major projects (July 2021 till date) are from nairaland. We’re dealing with matured grown ups here who can make decision on their own. And guess what, I’m always present on those sites 24/7. _______ Dig and you’ll find out people are smarter and wiser. _______ Feel free to engage me anytime, we don’t have to close a deal to be friend. Ask my once-upon-a-time friend, rajput4real He knew I’m always ready to help without asking a kobo in return. But make I no lie o, I think he sent me recharge card one day because he felt I’m always ready to offer help anytime he calls. Rajput4real can call 1 Like 1 Share |

GoodFaith:I'm not fighting you or complaining but ex-ray my experience with client base on matter arising from the thread this past few days. How many time have you seen me comment here? I never said he is a bad person or did a wrong thing but had misunderstanding. Well, quite unfortunately our society has made us believe everybody is pure evil and liars like yourself but if few persons stands out @GPower has proven his worth within SE and expanding. What am trying to say is that client most time have issues with contractors or vendors or artisans and it does mean ALL NIGERIANS ARE PURE EVIL AND LIEARS. It's a kind of norm to have misunderstanding. I rest my case. I look forward to handle two of his project he won last week. I guess l posted a copy as sample here for a guy who asked for sample. |

Matters arising on the BOQ usage in the construction industry. Greetings to noble members of this forum. I'e read with great care and concern issues some dissatisfied clients/members have had with the reliability of BOQ as a veritable document to manage the financial affairs of their projects. First of all, by way of reintroduction (as a known and vocal member here), I'm a trained Quantity Surveyor whose profession is the primary custodian of BOQ preparation and application. I've prepared far too numerous BOQs in my sterling career as a QS to speak on this issue. This offers me not only the competence but experience to address the concerns of teeming users of BOQ services. As a definition, a Bill of Quantity (BOQ) is a document that describes the items and scope of work to be done and their corresponding cost. From this definition, two critical parts forms the BOQ, viz, DESCRIPTION and COST. The two factors are inseparable. You cannot have a reliable cost without correct description and vice versa. Facts about BOQs. Documents needed to produce BOQs for building projects. 1) Drawings - Architectural, structural (as the case may be), electrical and mechanical services drawings. 2) Specification notes (if any). 3) Site information (physical visit or details of the site should be known). For the purpose of this write up, I want to divide the phase of a construction project to precontract and post contract. Precontract stage of a project means the planning stage; design of the clients' briefs, structural designs, MEP designs and consequently production of BOQs. Post contract means the actual construction of the project on site. This means the Architect supervising his designs to make sure his drawings/designs are followed. The structural engineer supervising his designs too to make sure his designs are adhered to. So also is the MEP engineers supervising their designs to make sure their designs are complied with. Here is the issue, most clients here do not go further to engage Quantity Surveyors to "supervise" his BOQs to ensure that the content of his BOQ is followed. In a standard contract, Quantity Surveyors perform post contract services. But in most projects from many clients here, Quantity Surveyors are only engaged at the precontract stage. This is not to absolve the person that prepared the BOQ of liabilities. I've prepared far too many BOQs for members here with very good feedback thereby turning them to repeat clients or further jobs referrers. This shows the level of satisfaction they must have derived from my Quantity Surveying services. Also important is the fact that so many quacks have permeated the online space misrepresenting themselves as Quantity Surveyors thereby luring unsuspecting clients to offer QS services. I do not blame such clients that have fallen to these set of impostors but the system that allows them to infiltrate the practice system in the first place. Conclusively, BOQs will continue to be an integral and very important part of the building and other infrastructure development procurement process and as such clients are enjoined to hire trained and registered Quantity Surveyors, who have their practice license on the line, if anything goes wrong during the services rendered unlike saboteurs who have nothing to lose if their advice goes wrong. I welcome questions if you find this treatise interesting. Peace. 1 Like 1 Share |

Everybody can claim to be good in public but in private it’s something else. Some are contractors/clients in the day but armed Robbers at night Some are contractors/ clients in the day but witches and wizards at night Some are contractors/ clients in the day but 419 at night Some are contractors/clients in the day but kidnapper at night Some are contractors/ clients in the day but ritualists at night For these ones, any opportunity to take advantage of someone else cannot be missed. The days are evil and the heart of man is something else. You can no longer know them by their fruits because they don’t even bear fruits any more. Pray and watch. 2 Likes |
