Fhemmmy: It has been aabout two years since I did mine last. It contracted to Aventures... even though we have other expenses that arise, I will see if he can give us the accurate cost per sqm. The stages I did mine was: 1. Bricklayers clears and manually levelled the yard and laid all the kerbs for landscaping. 2. We hired moulder to mould the interlocking bricks to our expectation and colors. 3. We hired the layers to lay and set the interlocking bricks. 4. We bought all the materials of laterite sand for levelling, stone dust for moulding the bricks and also to pour on top of the latterite, then plastic to lay on top. Some bags of cements. The stonedust mix with low cement ration was mix and poured on top of the interlocking when finished. I remembered doing about 420sqm in total. I will check total cost and update later. The cost will be much more now due to rising cost of materials. Thanks. As per my record. Total money spent was N1,585,000 for 420sqm which is around N3,774 per sqm. Hajji M. 4 Likes 1 Share

amalab30: I can give more line by line of items and cost later when I have full time to type it out. May be if I was on ground there are some areas I could have cut some cost. Please look at my early post with the cost included now. Thank you. Hajji M. 4 Likes |

Good evening boss. You need to provide more specific information on the roofing in order to get help. 1) What type of roof covering do you want to use? 2) Do you also need costing of the roof carcass (wood work)? 3) Do you have the roof plan or section of the drawing? Question 1 and 2 is surely important. However a reasonable assumption can be made for question 3. Kimiwa: |

I would like to responded to the bolder part of your comment for enlightenment purpose. The commonest document that Quantity Surveyors are known for is Bill of Quantities. According to The Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS, LONDON) (1998), a bill of quantities is described as a document which adequately describes the [b]quality and accurately represents the quantity of work required in a construction project [/b]whether proposed or executed. According to Building and Standard Method of Measurement (BESMM 4), produced by Nigerian Institute of Quantity Surveyors, described Bill of Quantities " that it shall fully describe and accurately represent the quantity and quality of the works to be carried out". From the foregoing, a quantity surveyor not only describes the quantity of work to be done but also the quality of the work. In the "description column" in a BOQ document, the quality of work to be executed is fully described. That's why a "1m3 (cubic metres) of 1:2:4, 19mm aggregate" will cost more than one with "1m3 of 1:4:8, of same aggregate. Merci. KolaShangOne: 4 Likes |

Good evening dear friend. As a quantity surveyor, I have come to realise that other professionals, clients and the public have not fully grasped the concept of quantity surveying in Nigeria. Besides Bill of quantities, many other people, even learned colleagues, do not know what quantity surveyors could do more. So, I have appointed myself as a mouthpiece of quantity surveyors in any gathering I find myself. Many professions, vis-a-vis, civil, structural, electrical, mechanical, electronics, petroleum, architecture, building, surveying, estate management and others were all "imported" from western countries, primarily Britain, to Nigeria. Quantity Surveying is not an exemption. Thus, quantity surveying practice dates back to the UK. In fact, the first set of quantity surveyors are British trained. As I type this comment, in Britain today, there is nothing like "Bill of Engineering Measurements (BEME) for engineering works that Nigerian engineers have devised for themselves to perpetrate corrupt practices in the engineering construction. Only Bill of Quantities is recognised as a legal form of conditions of contract to execute building, industrial and heavy engineering works such as refinery, petrochemical industries, Railway etc. In Nigeria, engineers have hijacked this role in the costing of heavy engineering works from quantity surveyors, and given their disproportionate numbers to quantity surveyors, it was such an easy manoeuvre for them. Although, the fight and struggle is still ongoing both at the National Assembly and the courts. In Nigeria of today, even a common man knows that most construction or engineering contracts are inflated more than an average of 40%, no thanks to corrupt politicians. Quantity Surveying education in Nigeria is a 5-year programme that encompasses diverse and technical subjects like railway construction, bridge, piling, heavy engineering, procurement, estimating, contract administration, project management, financial management, structures and many more. It is disheartening that engineers are using their disproportionately large members in the industry to the detriment of not only quantity surveyors but the national economy at large. I am glad that private clients have come to see the significance of quantity surveyors' competence in management of their hard earned funds. You can't tell a satisfied client to sabotage an optimal service that solves his or her estimating needs than resigning his or her fate to the land of people that guess figures. I rest my case.

mobileboy: You can go with a lawyer or a surveyor, but if you want to go alone, ask for the c of o number or a photocopy of the c of o, with the c of o number, you use it to do search at the ministry, if you can visit the land, take the coordinates of the land with your phone, you can then use the coordinates for charting at the ministry. Do not make any financial commitment until you have done your due diligence and you are persuaded to buy the land |

QSFemi: Thanks for your response. 1. Type of roof covering is .45 or .55 longspan aluminum 2. Certainly Sir. The cost of woodwork is also needed. 3. No. I don't have a roof plan but I want a shed roof. I'll attach picture of the type I'm talking about Sir. It's slanted to one side. Not too high.

mobileboy: # Ask for seller's FUL name # Ask his/her residential address for the past three years. # Ask the origin of the land if bought or inherited from a family. # If bought from a family, ask for FULL details of the family. # If bought from a third party, ask for the details of original seller, receipt and deed of original sale. # If the seller lives in the vicinity of the land, ask if they belong to the landlord association. # Ask for the details of the youth/community leader of the area. Then independently possibly with your lawyer, confirm the above information. This will help you authenticate the seller's genuity and ownership of the land. #Ask for a copy of the C of O # Ask for a copy of the seller's survey plan. On the survey plan should be the details of the surveyor. Independently confirm this. Give C of O and survey plan to your lawyer for verification. If the C of O is authenticated, then the work is almost done. Only when you confirm the above and the survey plan and the surveyor, before you make payment. Any inconsistency with the documentation and name on any document must be fully addressed. Don't allow yourself to be hurried. If you are told someone else is waiting to pay, tell them to accept the payment. Don't be rushed. Don't show fear or ignorance during negotiation. Be confident. 8 Likes 1 Share |
