Abolarin91: Yes sir, it is called Land Information Certificate. it gives information on what the land has been earmarked for, either residential, commercial, mixed use or industrial purpose, and it also gives information on status of the land, that is the land is Free from government acquisition or revocation. it is one of the requirements for C of O and it is valid for six months. attached picture is a sample. I hope this will help. 2 Likes

HEADYWORLD: Even when you end up with a 99 percent accurate measurement, you could still be screwed on site. Having saved over 133 square meters from seven different quotations, my cousin still got screwed during installation. 133 square meters of stone coated meant for his roofing was discovered in a nearby bushy plot. The same 133 that was allegedly saved, The same 133 that would later be required to complete the installation!! This is why my roofing is on hold until am home!

valencia2012: They are thieves, anybody selling roofing in sheets aluminium, coated and so on. Are all dubious and callous. They dont care how long it take you to gather the money they will always swindle you. If you are using stone coated, go and buy it yourself. If e no reach go back and buy the remain, stay with them on site o because they can divert your sheets. Awon oloriburuku ole oshi 4 Likes |

Hello professionals, Please how do i treat a bricklayer that has refused to complete my job ,do you advise i call someone else,though I've paid him fully for the job cos of his unseriousness and lackadaisical attitude. This guy has caused a lot in the instance of increase in cement price and other materials cos if he had completed the job in time i wouldn't have experienced the increase at all. The remaining job is just the 2 couches to be placed on the lintel. |

Good morning to noble members of this platform. I've read with concern the pains of some building owners lamenting on the sharp practices of some subcontractors such as roof installations vendors on deliberately increasing the area of the roof covering in order to make illicit gain. I know it's a cause of worry for building owners as nobody wanted to be cheated out of his or her hard earned money. I've come to proffer some solutions as a quantity surveyor. My primary aim of being a quantity surveyor is making sure that building owners get the equivalent of the services or products they're paying for. As regards roof covering measurements; since lots of building owners do not know how to calculate the quantity of roofing sheets to be needed, the following tips could be of help. 1) Get a quantity surveyor to independently calculate the quantity of the roofing sheets needed both from the working drawings and carcass (completed wood work). Quantity of roofing sheets needed can be gotten from the drawings and confirmed when the wood work (carcass) has been constructed. 2) If you cannot get a quantity surveyor, the apparent option is to get quotes from different roofers independently and compare. Though this is fraught with risk, given the fact that the reliability of their measurements is deeply rooted in their integrity. 3) Count the quantities of roofing sheets brought to site viz-a-viz the quoted quantity. 4) Roof covering is a superficial item, as such, it is measured in area. From mensuration, we know that area is either Length x Breadth (in case of a rectangle) or L^2 (Length square, in case of a square). The major challenge here is getting the dimensions of the roof covering on slope. 5) Buy your roofing sheets yourself from the seller and monitor the usage. 6) Separate the roles of the roofer and the material suppliers. That is, get a roofing sheets seller to give you the quantities of roofing sheets needed for the building and get another unrelated roofing sheets installer from a different sources to quote for installation only. 7) Regardless of these tips, please monitor the job. Thank you for your audience. Quantity Surveyor is your friend. 13 Likes |

henrixx:I did a roofing 3 months ago and another roof installation is ongoing today. Last week, I collected 4 different quotations and they all gave different measurements(673, 723, 759, and 820). I chose the 673sq mtr. The price of the aluminum longspan and workmanship were somehow close. one of the installers told me that it is "oja okunkun". that is, the more you look, the less you see ![]() Meanwhile, we have wonderful members here who can handle the roofing and various other works. They are very good at what they do. I engaged 3 guys here during my last build( Abolarin91, Adedward and the archi guy that hardly visit this thread). they did wonderful job for me. Mr Ade is handling the 30 windows of my present build. 4 Likes |

valencia2012:mine I got a quotation of 285 from 4 different people, I bought 300sqm because of wastage. I was on ground at the shop during loading and I was counting them in bulk of 30sqm. But to my surprise, after installation 300sqm finished with the work still pending and I have to add 15sqm to complete the house. If they will cheat you they have so many ways to cheat. 4 Likes

EgunMogaji2: The QS should be able to put up one having lower and upper limits. But I recommend such BOQ for projects ranging from #10M and above. The BOQ gotten from the engineer/builder/contractor handling the project which is probably the working BOQ should be used to compare that of the QS which stands as a guide. 2 Likes |
