Hello guys, a friend said Lagos ‘salt’ sand isn’t good for building as it doesn’t stand the test of time and that his dad bought sand from Abeokuta to Lagos when he was building his house. Problem is there’s not much space on the site to buy much sand so we intend buying in bits.. say 30tons everytime we need to so buying out of state isn’t possible. Please guys, How does one detect a good sharp sand for building? |

read threads on Nairaland but never planned on joining the forum till today. I started building a small bungalow in Ikorodu some years back, we had just reached the roofing stage and got three contractors to take measurements for a roof installation. The first installer measure 575sqm@3100 for a Bond stone coated roof, he gave a quote of N2,255,500 Second contactractor informed me that currently the market price of a sqm of the same Bond roofing was N7,000as opposed to the actual price of N3,100. Was on nairaland searching for something else and found a title that looked like a thread on Roofing. I found imran roofing and went through about 100pages of his works and saw all the positive reviews, decided to give him a try. Spoke to the CEO Mr Ayyub he sounded so professional with good marketing strategy and a great sense of humour. His installation team went to take their measurement at about 6am the next day it was 416sqm@3100 and gave a quote of N1,602,200., a difference of 600k. I had to ring the installer to see if he was in the right location, he sent a photo back confirming he was at my site. The first contractor had clearly made an addition to the measurements. Haba! Kilode! ENSURE YOU DO YOUR ON RESEARCH. There are a lot of scammers in the name of contractors out there. If you are still doubting where to get your roofing done, you have reach your BUS-STOP. GBAM! Look no further! Trust me, Mr Ayyub is the man for you. The best, hands down! 100% customer satisfation guaranteed! Giving Updates all the way when loading materials, videos and photos. Took a day and a half to complete,neat and clean job, no stories! Shout!!! Imran roofing to the world!!!! 1 Like |

Getting to know accurate quantities of materials for any item of a building is the very first step towards having a firm control on the overall construction cost. Fortunately, quantity surveyors make this critical task easier especially for clients and by extension the contractors, thereby saving both parties money and time. segzy14: 1 Like |

QSFemi: Knowing the accurate quantities is fine but monitoring the quality of your build matters more. A cheat will always find a way around BOQs. Here are some of the reasons why you should monitor the quality of work done on your project (in Naija): 1. Contractors/builders/engineers/owner-builders can compromise on foundation depth just to save some money from excavation/block work/groundbeam/raft thus affecting the integrity of the build. 2. Contractors/builders/engineers/owner-builders can compromise on the mix ratio if you're too hard on quantities. Mix ratio 1:2:4 is different from 1:4:5 3. Contractors//builders/engineers/owner-builders can compromise on quality of sand. Stop counting the number of trucks or tires! 4. Contractors//builders/engineers/owner-builders can compromise on the quality of rods supplied/used in your project. 5. Contractors//builders/engineers/owner-builders can compromise on the guage of iron used for your steel works. 6. Contractors//builders/engineers/owner-builders can compromise on the thickness of your slab. 100m and 150mm thick slab aren’t the same. 7. Contractors//builders/engineers/owner-builders can compromise on the Quality of wood supplied for your roofing project. In 2011, I spent over N1,000,000 on roofing woods. In 2020, another contractor spent 800k on the same building size. The difference is in the quality of woods supplied. 8. Contractors//builders/engineers/owner-builders can compromise on the thickness of your paving stones. The total coverage area won’t show you the thickness of the stones. 5 Likes 1 Share |

Interesting points. However, quantities are reflections of qualities of the job keeping other factors constant such as pilfering, compromise or sabotage. In other words, construction costs are meant to be proportionate to the quality of work. Typical scenario. The description column in the Bill of Quantities is meant to represent the quality of work to be done and this is represented as the rate in the bill. For example; like you said that we've different mix ratio of concrete. That's why in a BOQ, the rate for 1:2:4 reinforced concrete is different from that of 1:4:8 concrete of the same volume or quantity. Other issues raised in your posts are basically the contractors, builders or even owners sabotaging the required specifications for selfish gain. This is entirely different from establishing accurate quantities of items of work, albeit quality of the work. n3xt: 7 Likes |
