EgunMogaji2: The stairs here doesn't look like a Nigerian hand work. It looks too detailed and neat. Our artisan's attention to detail leaves so much to be desired. See professional working tools unlike here we use crude implements to work 3 Likes |

InvertedHammer: I know where many of them are, but the prices are not what I can confirm now. I was supposed to buy a plot from Centenary city but the cost they gave me was 13m, last year. I am working to buy something in the Nike-Opi Nsukka express that we can build and move in immediately. I will open a thread for the lands when I am ready. Thanks. 7 Likes |

saydfact:QS would now do the work of a structural engr? This is a veiled approval for quacks!!! Later you would say even an account on site has experience and when building collapses they will start looking for engineer. Do you know how many people that have died vis-á-vis billion of naira lost? coz of building collapse due to "claimed site experience workers" parading themselves as structural engineers? Maybe an experience theatre nurse should be made chief surgeon in a hospital or CMD 7 Likes |

I dont think the initial poster meant qs would do work of the structural or civil engineer. We are discussing who leads the team at the site. All you need is sombody who can bring all the departments together and achieve the building design goals at optimal cost. The engr surely does not have monopoly of team leadership qualities or building knowledge. I have seen guys and ladies delivering excellent buildings but they are not engineers. As homeowner, do i need the structural engr to be on site everyday? Or architect everyday? Or M&E engr everyday? If i know when to call each one of them to site and if i can make sure materials are on site in time at good quality and quantity then why should I hire a 24/7 "engineer"? If I dont have these qualities and I hire a computer scientist who can coordinate all these people and materials, then why should the building "professionals" (whom i have paid to come and do their work and go) be fighting him?

My Recommendation : Contact Land Surveyor Olaogun Michael Ekundayo On 09025234582 For Land Documentation and to check a land if fake or original before buying land or property. To help you check land Survey if original or fake. To check land title before you buy land and to chart land before you buy. To check if land is free or not. To help with land surveying in lagos, ogun or anywhere in Nigeria. 1 Like |

The debate/argument about superiority or who leads a construction team is not really necessary. It all depends on the peculiarity of the situation. I have seen construction companies whose teams are led by QS, some Architect and some builders. However, the architect is usually the prime consultant in most project and do lead the project team more. From experience, For government projects, the Architect usually leads the project consultants (QS, M and E Engr, Structural Engr, etc) But that is not about superiority. When you have 2 or more persons, one must take leadership, the same is applicable to family. Dont forget that a relatively new discipline has emerged in the construction industry which is construction project management. My input is concluded here: let each professional stay on his track. I am a Quantity Surveyor (QS) and a Certified Construction Project Manager (CPM) 5 Likes |

Nice design boss, I love the structure. That spiral-like part of the stairs got me thinking... Meanwhile, let me be your plug to complement the building with electric fence-wire, that will be nice on the fence Dennis3D: |
