I believe “We are our own Problem” some greedy fellows benefits from the inflation hence the reason they're ready to create problems for whomever tries to solve the issue.

They even create fake scarcity.


We need a Lasting solution.


Gas is now 900 per kg. ❌


So, you're not a greedy fellow?

Oya, open your own gas plant and sell us gas for #400 per kg?

Imagine some retailers/middlemen/suppliers Already selling POP cement for ₦9K. Something we usually buy for ₦2k or even less before Absurdity


That free market is now filled with bunch of thieves.

If I were you, I will become a middleman and be selling the item for #1,200 per bag instead of talking yama yama yama here like a yamaha generator.

It's achievable. That's one of the ways we can achieve balance and control greedy capitalist middlemen / retailers.

But Nigeria is a free market".

If only we can cap cement at say 3200. If you sell more, they lock up your shop!

If we have a govt controlled pricinh on granite supply. Iron supply, etc..

Let Govt. also control percentages paid to Engineers / contractors..

It will add a bit of stability to every industry.

So many people went to school and got distinction in other courses, but they ended up as economic illiterates.

Imagine what an educated person is proposing?

You cap cement price at #3,200?

You didn't cap foreign exchange
You didn't cap limestone cost
You didn't cap power supply
You didn't cap road maintenance and other infrastructure necessary for smooth logistics
You didn't cap import duties
You didn't cap double, triple taxation
You didn't cap interest rates

You just wake up in the morning and cap cement prices?

I’m not a fan of government intervention is business because it’s requires a responsible government for it to work and most are not especially not Nigeria. People will still take advantage of the system e.g Fuel subsidy, Fertilizer.

I bought 12.5kg gas for 9,000 yesterday. A 100% increase from 1 year ago.

Nigerians which way forward.

Energy prices are high lately...infact it's going up even more....projection says it's going to be more expensive in months ahead...tough and expensive winter...

Greed

An average Nigerian is greedy and ready to extort everyone around him/her without blinking an eye.

Then government not being able to regulate prices/control ultra-capitalism

Nigeria economy is actually just "Anywhrre belle face"

No regulations. No price controls. Excessive greed.

We will need at least 3-4months before prices start dropping.. which will also be borne out of competition and not government regulation.

Maybe it will drop in 3/4 months with new stocks , might not also , cash btw 540 and 550 now , transfer like 10 naira more , we are all praying it goes down more , there is hardship

Don’t think people see Gain of 100 or 200 % , competition will ensure that ,Am about to import pop Boards and profiles from Turkey ,had a pfi , calculated everything based on current realities , will save about 2 to 3k par board , 20 to 30 % max , suddenly manufacturer informs they will advise on new prices soon as Price of gas as gone up , still waiting

The likely problem here is that either your appointed building supervisor underquoted or making unnecessary claims. This problem would have been avoided if a detailed independent Resource Schedule (Schedule of materials and Labour) was prepared at the start of the project because such document will breakdown the material and labour needs of each item of work and the scope of work for you. Demanding an extra 250k when you didn't alter the initial scope of work nor add additional work to the original scope of work is questionable.

To give an objective solution, I'll advise you post his quotation along with the drawings here if you've any, which form the basis on which the work was awarded to him. I'll peruse the quote and drawings to see if his claim is fair or he's just out there to take advantage of a naive client.

Lolall:
Builders in the house please weigh in.

At the start of my project my builder billed me for 215 bags of cement. I assumed this would cover the entire project (putting up a 3 bed flat that the foundation had already been laid and adding a room to the bq already at the back of the property).

However we've gotten to the tiling and now he's saying I need to pay 250k extra for cement, sand, etc to tile the new apartment. (According to him the tiling for the bq was included in the 215 bags).

Please is this accurate or is he trying to pull a fast one here?

Thanks.

We're still in the business of offering project management and quantity surveying services to our teeming clients. The synopsis of our services include;

1) Preparing a feasibility report/study on proposed projects. Feasibility report/study addresses issues such as buildability of the proposed structures, legal constraints, planning regulations and approvals, land use act etc.

2) Preparing programme of work for a proposed project. This seeks to establish timelines of execution of critical milestones of a project. With a programme of work, we can establish critical events that could fast track or delay a project.

3) Acting as a project manager through the conceptualization to schematic design to detailed design to execution of the project on behalf of clients. We can coordinate the activities of the design team -Architect, Engineers, Quantity Surveyors etc on behalf of the client and also extend the role during project execution.

4) Acting as a contract manager for our teeming clients. Contract management issues border on varying subjects of interests such as legal aspect of the project execution such as possession of site, issuing and honouring certificate of payment, variation, fluctuations, additional works, retention fees, bond (guarantee, performance etc), defects liability period etc.

5) Quantity surveying services which include preparation of bill of quantities (estimated cost of construction), resources schedule (breakdown of quantity and cost of materials and labour needs for a project) etc.

6) And lots more.
