proper planning help to reduce wastage. when I did mine,I didn't include clearing of bush & cutting of trees,yet I still pay for it + all other tinz. I know how much I mapped out monthly for it. Yeah I know he must plan but believe me he'll stil see tinz dat ain't there. So na step by step matter. I understand your point of view though. |

Yea you are right.
But do you really expect me to say:
[size=15pt]QUANTITY SURVEYORS IN THE BUILDING!!!...lemme hear you say HELL YEAH!!![/size]
Come on...that doesn't sound funky AT ALL.
The thread is a very useless one. Who gives an Estimate/BOQ without working drawings? OP find it so difficult to snap and paste the floor plan, section and elevations YET he wants a figure? No wonder we are having various issues in the construction industry. Too Badt. 2 Likes |

Please I need your help,
How much will it cost to build a foundation for 2 bedroom flat times 3 bungalow
Not to spacious rooms.
All I need is estimate quotation of how much it will cost, not to expensive, just building for tenants
Thanks in advance You like this kind plan ? Dimensions can be adjusted to suit your plot. Assuming your plot dimension are 100 × 50, you can have 4 flats.. 1 Like

You won't know what a man studied until he decides to tell you. You don't need a quantity surveyor before costing a building.. I started going to site as a carpenter and a site supervisor for my building technologist father. Naturally, I developed very good understanding of both metric and empirical measurement, estimation of materials, and interpretation of building plans. I got admitted to the university after four years of extensive site work. working with very experienced artisans like iron benders, masons, carpenters etc. I also learn a great deal from professionals like architects andd building technologies etc. I did study civil enginering because of my mathematical strength.

Or what u mean by filling it up with compacted Laterite is that you sand filled the building with Laterite to level up with the foundation.

sand = 15 tonnes = N24,000
gravel = 5 tonnes = N40,000
workmanship = N40,000
formwork for the DPC = N20,000
SUM = N850,000 ( MINUS CONTINGENCY)
