My Engr. said the least he can collect from me is 10%. He is highly experienced and very good in the field, he built my home country house for me around 2016 and the building is fantastic. In short he is very good and has many projects(private and government) he is handling currently.


He has worked with you before and you already knows his expertise. like you said also, he has many project at hand,.. he has classed you accordingly.. that is why he requesting for 10%.

But to me. 7.5% is ok...
the decision is yours... or tell him to recommend a colleague of his that can collect less..

For, me I am a federal civil servant... my catchment area is restricted to Kaduna, Zaria..

Call me if your project fall within Kaduna, Zaria... 0703272894one....my experience can be vouched by Qsfemi...

I need one firstly because I belief they are knowledgeable/experienced in the field and would be able to deliver a standard project. I don’t want to build a house and be seing cracks etc due to some errors which would have been captured by the Engr. during construction.
Secondly my work won’t permit me to be around all the time to monitor the mason(Baba Lati in your case �).

I think you can negotiate and go with him since he had done a good job before

Lol! Here they go!
They ain't wired which way exactly?? Why weren't they?? You need certain genealogy or what are we talking about. Are you saying stealing money from a bank isn't evil enough??

You want to recommend me to a place that I would comeback with testimony if at all am still sane?? Joking me brother!

Where will you take me to nwanne? I hope you're not getting me wrong? I am not saying that local herbs or some Herbalist concortions are not potent. Offcourse am not saying such. So following you to 'a place' for testimony and not coming back needs to be qualified.

Because I am not ignorant of the possibility that you may take me to 'a place' force me to take a concoction that would knock me off, or spray me with powder of sarin or some other chemical substance that would deal with me mercilessly before an antidote is applied to attenuate the effect so that I live to give testimony.

It is a pity that here we are in 21st century Nigeria, able bodied people still opposing each other on the existence and effectiveness or not of juju or voodoo, in an era when Elon Musk of SpaceX has put two people in orbit in a trial set to disrupt telecommunication industry. When the world is on the race to discover effective vaccine again the novel virus (covid-19). Any company that discovers an effective covid-19 vaccine is in to rake in billions of dollars. Where are you taking me to brother?

Won't the juju work for the evil covid-19 that has taken the lives of million and counting in the world? You may know that the greatest evils on earth are the bacteria, fungi, and viruses that are in the race to wipe human out of existence unchecked. Since juju only do evil, there are the task. Use it to wipe disease causing agents.

Please!

CO2 - colorless, odorless - will kill in minutes. By the other OP's logic, if something unseen can knock you off, it has to be juju. Intellectual laziness here. Anything that requires some critical analysis to explain any mysterious phenomenon has to be juju because we can't be half-assed to think through it.
I'm curious how with the proliferation of handheld recording devices we haven't seen concrete (pun unintended) evidences that this thing exists. And make them no tell me about the mama in the village that confessed. One shot of haloperidol will snap her out of her psychosis.

1 chilled zobo for you.
Most of these tales are handed over tales, which the originator forged, and it was spiced up along the way.

Africans had juju and they were conquered by the white man... Anybody wey say im get juju.. let him stand infront of an armoured tank like the usa made Abrams M1A2 and take on a direct hit from it, or even a handheld rpg/bazooka.....
Funny enough if jazz is as common as you guys say, i trust the americans/cia/mossad/kgb to take it from the naive africans study it, finetune and deploy the damned thing for warfare and espionage

Other races are smashing the atom, putting man on the moon, intellectually lazy africans be yapping about juju... Smd!

Please how do you charge on stage by stage supervision.

As a registered Engineer, we use total sum and source of project to determine Engineer's cost..

Total Sum of project Less than 50million and Private owned, can be percentaged at 2.5%


Total Sum of project Less than 50million and govt own /big multinational company, can be percentaged at 5%


Total Sum of project more than 50million and Private owned, can be percentaged at 5%


Total Sum of project more than 50million and govt own/ private big multinational company owned, can be percentaged at 7.5%..


lastly.. kobokobo stages supervision... 1 to 2%

Since a project has many stages, the client can decide to pay the consultants based on each completed workp stage or milestone.i.e foundation works, first floor works, second floor, roof.
The consultants fees at each stage is the agreed percentage of that stage of work as reflected in the BOQ.

- 7.5 - 8% of the total contract sum should be fine regardless of his expertise and the complexity of the project.

- Make installmental payments based on milestones achieved.

- Retain 20% holdback for 30 days after
completion of work.

The build can’t be more than a duplex. N4m supervision fee for a duplex ain’t too bad.

The project can be completed within 90 days at average of 40k per day shocked

45m build cannot be more than a 240m2 duplex in Nigeria as of today. I believe N4,000,000 ($10k) which translates to an average of 40k supervision fee per day (assuming the lifetime of the project is 90 days) is good enough for a professional and engineer wey sabi.

Anything above that amount is way too much.

Good evening my people, I will like to use a few minutes of our time to to review a product from one of us here. Michlins has sent me a complete door fabricated from imported steel plates and pipes, which he intends to mass produce for the use of members here who will need the doors. I collected the door after delays occasioned by my schedule, and had the door reviewed to ascertain its quality.

This door is well constructed, the welding work is very good, the key locks very well, the alignment of the door and general fit is among the best in its class, I especially like the smooth finish, the colour combination he was able to achieve with the door, and I am sure he can change the colour design to any other colour the client or customer will need.

The hinge of this door is good, and I know that this hinge is what is obtainable in most welding shops in Nigeria, but I advice that the hinge be changed in subsequent orders. I am looking forward to patronizing him in my next project, I look forward to a good deal from him and will report the results of our dealings here for all to see. Thanks all.

As per the 40k, it’s just a breakdown to show the OP what N4,000,000 supervision fee will translate to if he’s paying daily.

Although a lot of people use wooden doors inside the house, others want metal doors because of the issue of security. The doors will serve, but you need to ensure your bathroom is enclosed in a glass compartment, to stop water from splashing directly on the metal doors.

The doors could be fabricated in many different sizes like the 6" and 9" frames, the width of the door could also be made to fit 3 feet or less doors, that's what some people enjoy in the local fabricated doors, freedom to adjust your door and find locals who can build exactly what you want to fit there (in case of people that are bigger for instance) cheesy

Noise when opening and closing will be there, but not too much. The hinges needs to be oiled regularly to ensure a smooth slide and bang when closed.

My only advice to him is, to remain impeccably honest in all his dealings, the rest is easy. An honest man can make mistakes and be forgiven, but if your client or customers thinks you are out to scam them, it doesn't always end well.

A honest person mistakes are mostly delays in delivery which is understandable and they usually get in touch with the client for updates.

Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by QSFemi(m): 9:09pm On Oct 27, 2020
Good evening.

The area of your room is 12.96 square metres.
If you want to tile the room, the quantity of tiles you're gonna need is 15 square metres inclusive of skirting.

If you're buying 400mm x 400mm porcelain tiles, there are 12 pieces in a carton, hence the area of 1 carton is 1.92 square metres.

For 15 square metres (quantity needed for your room), you will need approximately 8 cartons.

Cost per carton is around #2800.

I hope you find this helpful.
