aghaibiam: If I may? 1) Are all other outlets flowing water? 2) I have a filter at my stanchion and I’ve noticed increased pressure if I bleed it using the bleed needle on the filter. |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by micgray100(m): 3:27am On Nov 08, 2020 |
aghaibiam: what I always advice clients in your situation is to remove all fitting like the brimix shower head, fitters and all new model tap heads first.. see the pressure of water yourself by controlling it from the main tap after the tank.. observe two things... leakage and pressure... once you are satisfied with the two above... all fitting problems can be easily diagnosed.

Javaside: To me as an engineer, there is need to see the floor plan to judge accurately if the quotation is ok or not.. But with my little experience without seeing the floor plan; The quotation is ok ... the quotation is coming obviously from an experienced brick layer. Note the following, 1, I dont see German floor being done with above quotation.. 2, Two trip of sand (56k) won't be enough to do the concrete foundation blinding and shocking of foundation blocks 3, Cement (43bags) won't be enough judging from the amount of blocks needed. My advice.. stay on site and see how the material bought for you is been used.... so if there is need to buy more.. you won't feel the brick layer cheat you... Engr. Gbenga 2 Likes |

KolaShangOne: Did anyone here asked you for how you feel? ![]() Just because l mentioned Hajji M in my posts, that makes it harsh? Did l lie against him that he recommended Deniss3D or is that just a statement of fact? What is wrong in asking Hajj M to intervene, when the Contractor he recommended and the Client are having a fight? Even those of us that did not recommend, did we not intervene? Even if you think my message was harsh directed at Hajji M , would it not be better for you to have allowed Hajji M to respond and for you to just ignore the message? What do people like you gain by trying to bang the head of two people together? Ask yourself this question: did my post made Hajji M and the One4Me friends or potential enemies? When people cry more than the bereaved, it is obvious what they are up to. I wont say anything but you have crucified yourself, with your own hand.

Javaside: Cost will mostly depend on size of the Foundation and even terrain, to some extent, so you need to provide more information, to get good estimates. But one thing that stood out for me in that quote, is the #70,000 for Pegging! ![]() ![]() That amount vibrate me no be small, except if pegging means another thing apart from Staking-out the boundary lines of the foundation. Is he buying wood and how much wood sef, does he need to buy for pegging? #NotABibelli, just my opinion. 2 Likes |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by Beframia: 6:12am On Nov 08, 2020 |
I feel the cost is a bit on the high side especially the cost of digging and the quantity of cement required for this stage. Although, your list isn't very detailed and just as Engr Micgray100 earlier mentioned, a floor plan would have aided him and other professionals here in advising you better. However, refer to this thread by Dubemcapital1 for some guidance. https://www.nairaland.com/6057367/building-2bedroom-semi-detached-2unit All the best! Javaside: 2 Likes |

QSFemi: Very true, we seem to underestimate the value of QS! I think l will trust a Quantity Surveyor more, to supervise my building project (as long as l have a competent Builder), than employ an Engineer for Supervision. Unlike an Engineer, he will monitor the Cost and Material usage, due to his knowledge of material costing and can quickly advise where shortages or excesses might occur and the Builder can double as the Engineer, especially in these days when Architects are also parading as Engineers and Builders. My opinion, #NotABibelli 5 Likes |

It usually per sqm they charge. Also ask the installer to explain different methods of constriction to you, I visit a friend last month, I notices there is this awful sound from the tiles while walking on it. I believed its installation fault which might leads to the tiles breaking if Carr is not taking. beejay1: 1 Like |

I like that bolded assertion in your comment. Architects have gone beyond their traditional role of building designs and subsequent "supervision of their designs on site" to become builders or engineers by undertaking supervision of the building production process. It's very wrong for an Architect to parade himself or herself as an expert in the construction of buildings rather than his core competence - design of buildings and supervision of his designs on site. I'm glad we've people like you that knows where each professional belongs. One4me: 4 Likes |

Thank God I missed the #70k pegging part by an oversight, me too for dey vibrate by now... It's too much nah. I've resorted to buying materials myself in my current small project and that hasn't been going down well with the guy supervising it. I started doing that since I noticed that every block he bought had an extra 20 or 30naira added, every trip of sand/stones had an extra 5-10k. All these extras go into his pocket inspite of the fact that I did not even negotiate his supervisory fee, I always paid him promptly. One4me: 5 Likes |

Javaside: Foundation Blocks- 1500 - #225,000 1200. I’m using 1250 for the 2 flat. N150 per block is a good price tho. Sand- 2 Trips- #56,000 Fair enough. I used 1 trip of 6 tyre tipper per block for Blinding. Water- #10,000 Ok Digging- #120,000 Too much. Budget 60k Max. I did less based on the quantity involved. Granite- #75,000 Is the DPC inclusive? 43 bags of cement- #120,400 Too much for blinding and block setting Pegging 70k Too much. Budget 20k max. Casting 130k Is this inclusive of the DPC? If yes, it’s ok. If not, budget 60k Bosses in the house kindly assist to validate. I’m giving you the above based on my ongoing project. I’m currently working on 123 blocks of 2 bed semi-detached bungalows with following details: - 600mm deep foundation - 150cm thick blinding - 1250 blocks per unit - 22 cement for blinding per block - Blinding is 55k per block - 1 1/2 trip of water at 5500 per trip (Blinding and Block work) 1 Like 1 Share

Q's, architect, builder and engineer are all guilty! Professionals nowadays poke nose to other professional work aside from their own specialization. An engineer will tell you to bring your survey plans to design an architectural drawings for you! It annoying seeing all those thongs! Well, that is what happened in an environment(country) where there is no regulation/limit. QSFemi: |
