Happy Sunday,
This point you raised is the bomb. Engineer's deliberately inflate the cost to increase their percentage due to them



I totally agree with this point of view i.e engaging a QS who is independent of the project.

However in my limited experience, bill of material and labor does vary from QS to QS. how does one eliminate inconsistencies.

Ive also noticed that engineers might markup labor costs (especially) in order to increase the total, resulting to a higher figure if they are working on %.

Hello house, can someone please help me to verify this truck is 30 tonnes? Cause this is what my supplier used in bringing granite and he claimed it's 30 tonnes. Like he is claiming the bucket at the back was Built. I don't even understand the English he is using again.

you shouldn't be bothered about the truck, you should be bothered about the content inside(that's where they cheat). And to your question, that's 30 ton cos I use same truck to buy granite

With granite it doesn't really matter what truck was used to convey the materials, unlike sand where you MAY be able to tell the bucket size visually.
What matters is what was loaded unto it. So its better you show the granite on the floor.

We have received granite many times in a similar truck & bucket, recently we received in a HOWO truck.same full load.
My guess is that it is complete if that bucket was indeed loaded fully.

I will take a proper picture tomorrow. Although we're already working towards the decking and the engineer said I need 90 cubits of granite so they just joined all the delivery together.

So I don't know if it can be ascertain with this.

Are you saying they joined the granite together in the same heap...

So how many heaps do you see by the partitions?

Good evening able builders , suppliers and prospective clients. It's a great pleasure stepping into this learning arena.

Pls my question is this: Is it cost effective for somebody outside the country (Asia) to be precise, to shop for home fittings like: WC's, lights and fittings ( both indoor & Outdoor), Television and home theater, AC's, curtains and fittings, kitchen cabinets, wrought irons for rails and fancy doors, solar street lights & CCTV etc.

Please, experienced expert advice is needed in terms of the cost of Container and shipping charges.
Is it cheaper over there as one is buying in bulk.

You're in Asia and 55%(or more) of all we use in Nigeria comes from China (Wuhan, Guangdong especially)

Why not import?

Here's the secret.

Before the pandemic hit deep, it cost just ₦100,000 to import 1 CBM.

1 CBM is equivalent to 360kg.

So, when you see dealers lying to you in Alaba, Oyingbo, Idumota, Orile that their profit is small, it's a big fat lie.

Imagine importing all lightings, fittings, switches, Water heater etc which are less than 1 CBM and paying as little as ₦30,000 and all the items you bought cost you only ₦60,000. Add 1+2 to give you approximately ₦100,000

Everything that cost you ₦100k to buy and ship from China, will cost you ₦500,000 to buy in Nigeria if not more.


Chai, these days I'm revealing too much

From the heap I saw on the ground, I would assume its 30 tons. I receive 6 loads of similar truck few weeks back. I made sure when each of the truck off loading I got a picture of the off loading. That's the best I can do to ensure I'm not short changed.

I am a supplier and I have 10 trucks in my fleet (not my personal trucks) you can not get the actual quantity by picture or the truck, this is what we call flat bucket. If you have doubts and you are in Benin tell him to take you to sapele roadby Coca-Cola to rescale, you'll just pay 10k-15k at the scale. Just for avoidance of doubt, if you do that twice or more time and they know they can't predict you they will adjust and you should also ask for the way bill they use in buying it

My challenge right now is getting good materials for the louvre design that can sufficiently secure a house.

I’ve checked aluminum blade and polycarbonate materials but I’m not sure it’d be as strong as having a 14mm square rod in slat design.

Please forgive my ignorance.
I thought the picture of the louver design is a deployed solution

Can chemicals be shipped in one tonne capacity and do you have details of a reliable shipping agents.
With the rate prices are escalating, the only alternative is to get from the source so as to give clients reasonable price which the market is making a hard task.
