you later got this exactly?

Focusmind:



Bros, you know you are a master in this game. What you have there is more of creativity than ceiling. Going out of norm. It is still a fantastic design and uncommon. A pure art work which still fits in with my taste appeal.

The problem here is that it may be difficult to source the right material to replicate that design and if you should use anyhow material, they whole thing will loose the appeal. The client may now be like, "bros, this is not what I ordered for". But if you have the materials here available, go ahead, it is a masterpiece artwork.

QSFemi:

In other words, Quantity Surveyors are trained to assess cost of M & E installations in buildings. The only setback here is lack of M & E drawings or specification notes to form the basis of such cost assessment during estimating stage. For many private clients, there's hardly any M & E installations drawings for their proposed project. I do not know who to blame for that, apparently, I cannot blame the clients.

Great! But 3k per Sq meter?

How are you guys coping with this spike in cost of iron rods? Bought 12mm for 2300 some weeks ago, bought for 2800 few days ago... Yesterday it was 2900!!!!

n3xt:


It’s a work in progress. I started this 11am yesterday.

A lot of these small stuffs aren’t rocket science.

n3xt:


The safest thing to do in time like this is to allow the owners buy materials.

Aluminum industry was even crazier. The price of materials was skyrocketing at alarming rate.

cjfbn:
My people, please find attached an estimate of wires given to me by my electrician.

Defining what you want is the first step to success.

Knowing how to get from where you are to the red big “X” sitting over you destination. The more specific you can be, the more easier you can find the path to your “X”



QSFemi mentioned (quoted above) specification notes and it seems like something very unimportant That small note makes the big difference.

Most complex designs seems like “a big thing” for us here in Nigeria because we don’t even have a name for the materials used and we hardly do research.

Common “acoustic diffuser” can’t be an issue for me and getting the shapes only require some mathematical calculations. The materials used is cedar and black walnut.

Donoppy:


Yes, it seemed so from the situation with the engineer because he made mention of the fact that, it was when the Q.S came to site my dad started having trouble with him for whatever reason he felt he was the only one who could understood or any fellow engineer which didn’t really make much sense to me.
I just had to let him go because he was not been direct when I was trying to make amicable peaceful coexistence between them because he seem not to be comfortable working further while the Q.S was still around the site and I obviously can’t tell the Q.S to leave.
Maybe if you an engineer you could understand what he was going through his head , but for me as a layman I don’t get the point because it wasn’t meaningful to me.

yinkaoke:
Thanks Abolarin, so which is best n cost friendly? Can't afford pop for rooms. Help me achieve this great people.

QSFemi:
You're right, boss.

It is possible even for large projects that only specifications will be used to form the basis of construction and costing.

gbadexy:

Oil based floor paint. I can supply you.
Technically it could be alkyd or acrylic resin based. While both are for external floor with traffic, the acrylic resin based floor paint doesn't change colour after some time and resist sunlight better. Consequently it's more expensive.
So you could ask for clarification which type you are getting with that information.

tonididdy:

Let's chat
Send me a contact asap

Ironically; even as an Arhitect I learnt most of the things I know working under a QS...

THERE IS SOMETHING CALLED EXPERIENCE....... and YES; ANY1 ON THE BUILDING INDUSTRY (Archy, QS, Builder or Structural Engr) can lead the team.

anything else is politics
