bixton: Do it yourself: interprets that a novice, a learner or an apprentice wants to get something done from the experience he has gathered from someone who "knows". But what we are discussing here is "Anything and everything in building construction" therefore, if they really want to do it themselves the right way (which is very important) you need a professional guide in that field to achieve a result that is void of regret. Is just a mentality, people don't want to go to the hospital because they think or believe they will spend more at the hospital so they resort to self-medication which is very dangerous and much more expensive. Hire a professional today it pays and I bet you it is cheaper. Thanks. Dubemcapital 4 Likes |

rocktowerbuilde: With due respect sir, A builder is a Contractor whose job is to construct a civil structure BY employing a necessary workforce : 1. Engineer 2. Workmen (skilled) 3. Labourers (unskilled) 4. Materials 5. Other resources. But a civil engineer is someone who has acquired knowledge of designing, constructing and maintenance of a structure. Therefore, just as homeowners, a builder hires an engineer to aid his work with technical or professional aspects. So, by implication, a civil engineer can be a builder but a builder is not an engineer. Howbeit, a builder's job description does not include the bone of contention Thanks Dubemcapital 2 Likes |

Unfortunately everyone doesn't have the capability to hire a professional and for those that can, they still need a forum like this to guide them because the so called proffesional knows most of the times clients are usually a first time builders and have little or no understanding about the process of acquiring a land and building to the very end, hence they are out there to milk you dry. Am sure no one in this group will want Julius Berger to build for them despite we know they can deliver, instead we prefer the lower level proffesionals just to minimize cost; if you still can't afford the lower level that's when we start looking for Baba Tawa and Togo boys. It's just what u can afford. If you can't afford Yes Saint Lauren, buy Gap and if u still can't afford Gap buy Chinese Gucci. Dubemcapital1: 2 Likes |

Dubemcapital1: Good of you my brother, I believed that All the 7 professionals in build industry knows there roles. Architects Builders(contractor) Structural Engr’s QS’s Electrical engr And the rest. So don’t let’s argue about each professionals roles or get it twisted. As a structural engr you know your roles in building is to design the structural details of building and hand over such documents to the architect which the architect will hand it over to the builder to construct such structure according to the details giving. with(construction of special building like stadia, airport dam bridges and main road) As a builder you know your work ,construction of building and maintenance with [building economy( only diff btw civil engr and builders)].mean while all the builder must know about; QS work, architectural drawing, structural design and detailings, Mech and electrical work because it’s in there Sch curriculum, if any builder fail to know this he or she can’t handle building construction, that is why, Not all contractor are builder. But all builder are contractor QS; estimator. Etc. But generally All the 7 professionals can handle building construction. 2 Likes |

I have learnt a lot in building industry, am an Electrical Engr(COREN Registered ), I have worked with so many building contractors and also learnt from them. I can not take the job builders simply because of the little knowledge I have.. Anyrtime a client call me to come and handle a construction, I normally tell them NO. I major in MECHANICAL(HVAC). ELECTRICAL AND PLUMBING (MEP). again the work of QS is also very important in building industry as well, they are suppose to generate BILL OF QUANTITIES(BOQ) from the design drawings.. i was In a site one day in Victoria Island Lagos in which there was serious argument between a builder and the client.. Client said he want the head room to be 3m after the finish floor and the ceiling but the required height by the client could not be achieve based on the error from the Architect. The client they should pull down the structure( 3 storey building that is already roofed), Serious argument but later resolved 1 Like |

EvaFemi07: Let me use this opportunity to address some issues Many Nigerians don't understand the work of a Quantity Surveyor. At times, they don't even want to pay for the services QS render to them. I have experienced this several times. Many are penny wise and pound stupid. I learnt about a client who paid an Engineer/contractor money for 20tons of reinforcement when only 8tons is needed. Why can't you pay a QS 100k to save 1.5m or 5m and much more? Let me share this with some that it will be beneficial to. If you want to give your building project to anyone to execute for you, get a QS to give you a detail BOQ which will surely contain the estimated sum to complete the project. Give the drawings to the Contractor or Engineer that will execute the work for you and tell him to submit his own detail estimate/quotation or bid. Use the BOQ of your QS to assess the estimate of the Contractor. Your QS can help you to thoroughly assess the estimate submitted by the Contractor. He can even tell you how much discount you can ask from the Contractor or the amount you should negotiate to. I created a thread to answer questions relating to Quantity Surveying. You can see it here:https://www.nairaland.com/3463994/consult-quantity-surveyor-here There should be a basis with which you assess the estimate from the proposed contractor. |

topsy23: Thanks for this contribution. Let me add something. Many clients are stupid and their stupidity usually cost them. A Quantity Surveyor is trained in basically three areas: 1. Contract Management and Administration 2. Construction and Building Technology 3. Construction Economics/Measurement Preparation of BOQ is the main duties of a QS that many are familiar with but that is just one out of many. Check this thread for more duties of a QS https://www.nairaland.com/3463994/consult-quantity-surveyor-here The work of a QS is similar in a way to that of a lawyer. You can tell your QS to prepared construction contract to be signed by you and the contractor. The contract documents with the BOQ are what you and the contractor will sign as you enter into the construction contract. If you do this and your QS know his onions the Contractor will not mess with you or misbehave. Before you sign the contract, read the conditions of contract and ask your QS to explain anything you don't understand. The Contractor is to do the same on the other end. If he is stupid not to read the conditions before he signed it that is his own headache. When any relationship is not govern by conditions, it will definitely go wrong. Contractual relationship is not an exception. This is why many contractors misbehave |

Dubemcapital1: Pls dnt get your words twisted ! For the fact that building Construction is a team work, let all knw there's area of specialization for each and every professionals in building industries. In the list of 7keys from client which come up with brief ,then Architect incorporates that into drawings also Qs and other Engr's work all with Architectural drawings. *Qs produce Boq. *Engrs produces drawings documents. e.g structural and electrical drawings. *Then Builders produced Building. Notes: All professional work interchangeable dosen't make a builder an Engr and Engr as a builder With due respect sir, A builder is a Contractor whose job is to construct a civil structure (author=Dubemcapital) Which you're very correct! As a builder you know your work ,construction of building and maintenance with [building economy( only diff btw civil engr and builders(author=Rotech77) Mind you pharmacist would never take work of Medical Doctors. What now happen in building industries? |

The solution is sophisticated and IP based. You will be able to monitor without boundaries and keep record of activities (video & audio). Benefits of CCTV Cameras in Business – 5 Advantages of CCTV Why it is a great thing to install CCTV Cameras at your business premises? 1. Crime deterrent It goes without saying that having a CCTV camera installed at your premises will act as a serious deterrent to criminals and anyone carrying out illegal activities. The sight of a CCTV camera infers an air of danger and the presence of the law, deterring anyone planning to carry out a crime from doing so. 2. Monitors activities CCTV systems are able to keep track of what is happening at the premises where they are installed. By monitoring the activity of workers and visitors at your business’ site, you and your workforce can have total peace of mind about exactly what is going on under your roof. 3. Collect evidence In the unfortunate event of a crime occurring at your premises, having a CCTV system really does pay dividends as it provides a way of collecting evidence to help ‘suss out’ exactly what happened. Crimes can be solved far more easily with additional evidence from a CCTV camera, helping place times, locations and, most importantly, suspects. 4. Decision Making When it comes to settling disputes, footage from security cameras can be incredibly important. This applies to both domestic and commercial scenarios. Whether it’s dealing with family disagreements, employee feuds or altercations between staff and customers, by referring to CCTV footage, you’ll know the truth. 5. Keep records It is always a good idea to keep records of when your staff are coming into and checking out of your site, as well as when deliveries are made or visitors enter the building, so you can ensure everything’s running smoothly. There are many further reasons why CCTV really is an advantageous installation for any business premises, so why not consider getting cameras installed at your company’s site and give yourself and your staff total peace of mind in the safety of your operations?
