At this rate, a lot of projects are going to be suspended. Materials have steadily been on the rise and its getting to levels where it doesn't make sense in relation to initial projections, especially for those building to sell at a pre-agreed price.

The problem here is not about Landing or No landing, the combination of the Spiral and L formation and the inaccurate Rise to Run of the Spiral is not complete. There will be a tripping hazard at that particular area, mark my words!

I am not trying to discredit your work but there are codes in construction that give the Minimum measurement to achieve functionality and safety. And what I see do not meet it. Its all good Sir

Yeah. I told my friend same thing yesterday. The occupants won't enjoy the stair. That Particular area will be causing issues.
@Denis3d. I know u are a wonderful designer. it's just that the particular staircase isn't good.
As u said, the Client could be adamant. Well, U've done well by informing ur client about such.

boay:
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)

Like you said, a MANAGER can be in charge and oversee a construction project.

In the case being discussed, his father is already the MANAGER of the site. The position left is the Technical Head of the site which the QS is trying to usurp.

Professionally, (correct me if I'm wrong), I don't think a QS has business with quality of materials, just quantity. Also, compliance with design is the work of the Architect. Integrity of structures is the work of the structural Engineer.

But then, the Engineer has been trained to know at least a little out of ALL the other professions and that's why I think he's more ideally suited to lead a site.

For example, When I was doing my Masters in Engineering Management, the curriculum delved into so many aspects. Construction project management; Project planning and control, Optimization techniques, Logisitics and supply, Strength of materials, combinations, Calculation of Man-hrs, etc

It's crazy. An extremely volatile economy.

I have turned a plot of land into a materials management yard. I'm stockpiling gravel, granite and sharp sand. With the new increase in price of fuel these guys will charge more.

Please experts in the house, which comes first? Fixing windows or plastering the house?

Cc: saydfact, spyder880, Oga Hajj, Oga Egun

actually - FIXING WINDOWS AND PLASTERING SHOULD GO TOGETHER

OR

FIXING OF WINDOW SUBFRAME (as in sliding window) and PLASTERING SHOULD GO TOGETHER

Goodluck

Either way works.

However, windows before plaster is secured against vandalism but plaster before windows is neater and requires precision and proned to vandalism.

Personally, I love the latter.

The trend these days is above 3m but I hate it.

Depending on the width of the building, anything less than 3m will do.

At this rate, a lot of projects are going to be suspended. Materials have steadily been on the rise and its getting to levels where it doesn't make sense in relation to initial projections, especially for those building to sell at a pre-agreed price.

Surprisingly, project will not and is not suspended, over 7yrs i understand when building materials is on the raise that is when purchasing power increase, fear of the unknown, what goes up don't come down easily in Nigeria.

Like yesterday a client that have requested for price of iron rod over 6month call for 12tons at once, @255k per ton in Badagry area of Lagos.

Cement is also gradually come up but is not a huge blow like before Oga Dangote can just put 150naira onces now is 30-50 at intervals.

Granite is also faced with corona virus freight activity almost granded import of explosives scanty. Granite is 3500/ton now from 2500 before March..

Expect more to raise bag of nail will get to 10k/bag
