topsy23: 4 POP lights for the rooms and kitchen and chandelier for the master's, then 2 wall lights (placed in the middle/one side of the wall), 8 POP lights and 2 chandeliers for the sitting room. (Not forgetting the ashawo led strip light for sitting room and master's) Do you think using just POP/ceiling lights is good? |

bobkezel: A thoroughbred tradesman has industry connections the end user doesn't have Option A helps his maximize his expertise and connections He will get the materials at prices the end user can never get He can maximize his gain by leveraging the above He will work on your project with a better frame of mind than if Option 2 were deployed End user wanna play smart? Cool! Tradesman can play that game too! At the end of the day, it is an information differential that makes most trades possible 1 Like |

Good morning everyone. I hope we are all doing well! I’m about to start build 6 flats of 2 bedroom in Enugu, Nigeria and below is my engineer’s estimate for foundation, could you guys please analyse it and tell me if it’s too much and advise on what to remove or how much to negotiate for labour and supervision for example and if materials are too much or not… I will really appreciate it.

kingsman042: I don't know the terrain of where you intend to build but I think 4000blocks is way too much for a 2bedroom block of flat (2 flats on the ground floor). 5trips of granite? How many tons per Trip? If his estimate is 10tons per Trip then that won't be enough for the foundation works. He quoted 16mm,12mm,10mm,8mm,6mm. Nawao. I hope you have a structural design for this project, the sizes and numbers of reinforcement should be based on the structural design. The reinforcement quantity is inflated and I don't see the need for 8mm,6mm,10mm all at the same time. Get advise from a quantity surveyor biko. Laterite of 40trips is Seems much, though depends on the height of the foundation you intend to build. Labour and supervision charges looks okay but you can negotiate a little for it. 3 Likes 1 Share |

UC92:The 40 trips of filling sand should tell you that it’s a high foundation and most likely in a slope. Therefore, he might need up to 4000 blocks. But for the rods, too many different sizes, except they plan on having some in the German floor. The trip if granite is definitely 10 tons considering the price on that list. It might not even be enough. |

Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by sonnie10: 9:10am On Jul 31, 2022 |
kingsman042:Another thing, why is he charging separately for labor and then supervision? They should be together since he is the one handling all that. He might come back to tell you that labor money is all spent and that you should add more. A better approach is to draw a contract for building up to foundation level . Let him state his price and deal with the labor payment. All you want to see is that he delivers. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Some important/ notable professionals and home owners just looks away concerning some vital advise/question this days. The tsunami is coming back to this thread again, I can see that. It happened few years back when I noticed this i started mentioning some names and boom they all came back. But now… let me just keep muted shaaa.

Person2person:There is a big problem now to find a good and reliable plumber now. Not a drunk one, not an expensive one, a real professional. I have searched for that person for a while. That is how I discovered guys from plumbing services Sydney. They are not so expensive because of their firm`s size, their plumbers are the politest people of the world and the masters of their craft. Besides, you can find some helpful articles out of this site. Hope it would be useful for you! Have a good day! |

This is so so so true... I just wonder why this happens. The mindset of our people.. you pay for workmanship, yet they make you pay more buy quoting excess materials & sometimes wasting them.. tonididdy: 1 Like 1 Share |

Hmm.. The main thing is both parties should be honest on their dealings. If a customer wants to buy his/her materials.. let it be and charge at a rate you wouldn't compromise on the quality of job to be delivered, nor make him spend unnecessarily. The customer should also be considerate in the bargain. bobkezel: 2 Likes |

Good day professionals in the house. Kindly help me review the quotation for the plumbing works of a 4 bedroom Bungalow (inclusive of a visitor's toilet at the waiting area) and BQ (Room & parlour self contain). The initial piping for the internal house has been completed before the plastering. What's left is the plumbing fittings (Internal) and the piping to the waste chamber (External).. Thank you.

Successbay: Location of the Septic/Soakaway is not to us but I believe the 100mm pipe is good since the plumber is running a separate pipes for both soil and waste Other water supply also can not be question because the your location and over tank will determine tye quantity to be used/installed . |
