Just out of curiosity Sir but why didn’t you do a staircase landing as opposed to going with tiny threads?

I noticed that these estates(?) are advertising plots for sale in Enugu between N5-6m

Vatican city
Diamond Estate
Crypto Estate
Premier Estate
Alexander city
Centenary city.

Does anyone of them sound familiar? Kindly reply at your earliest convenience. Thanks.

Is it not this "experience" that has caused the rampant building collapse and the wasteful building standards we have in this country?

An experienced plumber will put 2 inspection chambers for 2 adjacent toilets. Does it really make sense to do that.

Only experience will make you fear to use one inspection chamber for both. This is at the detriment of common sense or even new innovations.

On the main issue, that an Engr was replaced by a QS is not a matter of the professions, it is a simple matter of selfishness and greed. I have seen too much of it played out on site. If the Engr was brought to a site supervised by a QS, the same thing will play out just to outwit one another. Its just a matter of each man to himself.

I have worked as a Civil Site Engr when a Chemical Engr was brought to be my Chief Engr. I resigned 2 weeks later not because he is not qualified to be my chief but that he wasn't particularly interested in delivering a good job or the job at all but just interested in the money. He was a personal friend of the boss who isn't a technical person, so the boss natural felt he was dealing with someone who is a friend and technical.

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.

To be granted a condonation approval, it means you made submission of AS-BUILT.

What it means is your setback and airspace didn't meet it the requirements but you were given consideration since it has been built already.

Yes, it is tenable at LASBCA, however before certificate of completion and fitness for habitation is granted by LASBCA, you will be asked to do Non-Destructive Test(2floors and above), submit letter of Structural stability and Indemnity and other documents.

saydfact:


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

Sufisunni:
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

coldcandy:
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?

Dennis3D:


Space for the staircase area wouldn't allow that. Else, it would have been captured that way from Design stage. Thanks for your suggestion...

EgunMogaji2:


This is golden.

There’s a field called a General Contractor in the USA.

Good day everyone. Kindly help me to peruse this quotation that I received for the electrical wiring of my budget bungalow(second stage).

I think it is a business venture/enterprise not a profession

EgunMogaji2:


So this wasn't your design?

Thanks.

Abolarin91:
Same thought.
That spiral-like part will be a little bit difficult

Dennis3D:


Its my design and that's what the client want.
Making him request for such in his saloon to.

Pictures below shows the main building and the saloon staircase.

Note: There are different types and patterns of staircase designs. So clients have the options of the ones they prefer...

topsy23:


I can not say anything about the quantity because the drawing is not attached . Also I don't know how many point light you electrician provided as well as number of sockets in each room. As per the rate, they are okay if he's using original cables

Dennis3D:


This is not a spiral staircase
