hello gents,
am a newbie here. tried searching , no show

want to fence 100ft x 100ft land, dwarf fence, say about 5ft, am assuming 2coaches in the ground and 3 or 4 coaches on the surface.
would appreciate a rough estimate and breakdown of the cost, or even better someone who has fenced recently could gimme his total cost, i may be able to extrapolate.

2ndly, i intend to use 3 locks to form the spine of the fence, placed every 10ft apart, btw using block as spine and using iron rod and concrete, which is better or preffered?

. I hope you'll get my drift on what you want to do. 100ft*100ft[30*30m]. Fence line =116m(gate entrance removed). 9"/6" blocks needed=1600. Coarse(3/8" sand/single axle= 2 trips. You have about 30+ points to put columns(pillars points). Sharp sand(single axle)=2 trips. Get Y12 or Y10mm for column points and quarter rods as stirrups. Excavate 18", blind with only coarse(3/sand+ cement or coarse+sharp sand+cement for blinding. Mortar mix(1:3/1 bag of cement:3 parts wheel barrow sand measure). For blinding/pouring of columns use 1:3(cement+coarse sand) or 1:1:2(cement+sharp sand+coarse sand). For 9" blocks(2 bags of cement to set 100 blocks) for 6"blocks(1.5 bags of cement to set 100 blocks).

Am neither here nor there as mileages always differ.

A competent contractor might under-bid a contract ( called the winners curse) due to fear of the competition. He now delivers substandard services to make ends meet as long as he suspects the client might not notice. This does not make him incompetent. I can site multinationals that do this and/or put in variations at the least excuse.

On the other hand, an incompetent contractor, believing it in his best interest to please his client with world class service in order to secure a more lucrative contract, might deliver better services even as far as subcontracting to competent hands.

It is mostly dependent on how the client is perceived: a terminal contract / relationship vs a contract that opens Doors , a knowledgeable and deligent client vs an all assuming trusting one, an affluent but stingy client vs a struggling average income earner.

. Whoever the client or contractor may be, variations are most likely entertained when the scope of a job are increased or expanded.

How do u mean by the bold? this is a faceless forum, don't be afraid...

Why i really don't take this issue of bad contractors seriously on NL is because the few good ones we have aren't even getting jobs as it ought to be...So who is now awarding contracts to the bad ones? Everybody keeps making reference to brabus, even those who didn't give him any single thing to do keep shouting brabus the bad contractor. We have good contractors like Abdulwastecx & podosci, dubemcapital, spyder, aventures, skimanski, koloshangone...etc they are many, u don't need to spend months on NL to single them...If the good ones to me doesn't seem to be getting more than enough contracts, were do even the bad ones get contracts from? Everyone will begin to scream brabus...even among the 12 disciples....there was Judas...

. Certainly no one should be afraid..........the good,the bad and the ugly all know themselves.

God millions must be made. Nice games from u Emriss. If only we remix it well, everyone here will be stinkingly rich.

jintex:
quoting is allowed.

. Keep quoting me on your games bro and trying sending me sms also.thnx.

johnson232:
We don't need all these to know how to select a good contractor. Just click on the moniker of any builder u find interesting & read through his works & comments, so u can get feedback from persons he has worked for....for me i think that will do...incompenent contractors can still penetrate the said platform u intend creating...

. Well said. But I have been following some threads and even looked upon the moniker of certain persons and I am of the view that all you see is not as they claim it to be. They all know themselves because they belong to a clique which they have formed and NL have given them such opportunity.

breadandbutter:

Land requirements : 120ft x 60ft

. Nice one Sir.
But please how feasible is a 5 bedroom duplex + 1 bedroom BQ(one floor) + 4 Units of 2 bedroom flats. Can you come up with a working plan and 3D. I'd appreciate.

Edimofy:
Please don't generalize when it comes to issues like this. Most Architectural designs are perfect and difficult to understand if you are not deep into building designs. When i compared my two houses built by an architect and an engineer, i realized that the architect is better by far. The architect was able to bring out all the designs exactly the way it was on paper. I am recommending you to this Architect his job is superb, try him with a civil or structural engineer and you will see the difference. Just take a look at this job he did at Mgbakwu, Awka. If you want your house to beat all existing houses in that new location or area choose this Architect; he chances all the houses anywhere he built. He is the choice to Real Estate owners. Choose him for your Estate Design and he will present you with different designs from Australia, Iceland, Dubai and U.S.A. Take a look at these designs and give us feed back at 07031559986 or Drop an email with the subject "Give me designs from Australia or Iceland or Dubai or U.S.A and we'll get back to you as soon as possible.

. Why don't you post here the actual buildings as it's on ground let everyone see for themselves. Post the actual 3D view and actual structure as built by both your Architect and Civil Engineer side by side.

I agree with you as a juniour architect. Here is the problem, a quality of an architect is bringing something unique with a purpose. And it better be something new, since creativity is more encouraged. Then the Civil Engineer will have a hard time making this happen in reality.

'Architect's dream is civil engineer's night mare'

Architects must make sure it can be made in reality and Civil Engineers must not change their mind cuz it's difficult. Because every little thing an Architect placed have a reason

. How does an Architect become the nightmare of a Civil Engineer!!!! Poo Poo words. Architects if nothing are entirely for aesthetics. Every complete building plan duly done in Nigeria comes with a phrase " changes are subject to Site Engineers approval" or there about. A Civil/Structural Engineer handled the Structural aspect of the building plan and as long as that is achieved the Engineer is good to go. When Architects and Engineers argue over what and how buildings should and can be done it does not necessarily prove that one is inferior to the other. It's all about the individual's span of knowledge and experience.

true2home:
As I watched the War on Quotation rages, I just want to tell the house that there are people in Nigeria that are still good. I have a supervisor that works for me. He never collects any fee from me for his work. He recommend that I give him whatever I feels he deserves. O BOy, I believe I have over paid him so many time simply because he has exceeded my expectation so many times. And guess what? I Am Very Happy with him. I have recommended him to family members and he still working for them with the same MOTTO. and he is getting paid nicely.

Therefore, Do a good job, and the client will gladly reward you beyond your expectation. Happy Clients do not look at price for a job WELL DONE

. Well that happens when you meet people who value such things. I have a client who does not like to pay neither his supervisor nor his engineer for such purposes but times and over times he has over shot the expectations of my masons on payments especially when they did not price with him on any particular job.

3X53ZNF......check, play and win and send me 25% of your winnings. If you care to quote me if you play it, it'll be nice. Goodluck.

GOALS, GOALS, EVERY WHERE....

Have you even considered less goals by teams who ordinarily are supposed to score more. It's either straight wins or less goals. More on corners,etc,etc.

So am about movilizing to site.
Hv not been able to get a good QS that can give me a bill of quantities for my build at a good price.

So am wondering how to do my calculations to minimize "chopping" by my builder.
Want to do foundation to lintel level.build is 3 apartments. 4br duplex+ 2units 2br.
In ph.how do i estimate or crosscheck the quantites of the various items needed..cmt.iron rod.sand.blocks etc

. If you already have an Engineer to handle your project kindly get him the plans to give you a quote. But if you feel otherwise you can send me a copy of your plan(s) to give you a quote from an Engineers' view. The history of your land is paramount to getting a quote for a new project starting afresh. I am based in both PHC and BYS. You can send your plan(s) via "benavoh@gmail.com".

DoctorNyash:

. You're very much welcome. From one mugu to another. I hail you.

bigcee:
How much were you paid to spew these trash.

. Typical of Nigerians who like to see a man's downfall. If you're down try to congratulate and give courage to others. If you can pay me, how much do you have to pay me!!!! I am a member of the team and I am speaking on my own words and terms.

beautyfunke:

BEWARNED!

...Do not say what you know nothing about. The games are going well so far, so good. If you're not a member of the team you have no right to speak about barnabas1 and any of his tickets of 2 odds. God willing we will achieve our set goals. One love team barnabas1.

#3.7Million for plastering inclusive of materials and #500k+ for scaffolding and so may posts about everyone for or against it. As far as that duplex is concerned that amount is way far high. Scaffolding are either permanent (bamboo or wood) or collapsible or adjustable ( metal clamps). A good contractor or project manager will have to plan the operation to minimise the time spent at the site while doing a thorough job. We all know when mistakes occurs you'll spend twice or thrice the original amount to effect the correction. I do not think a client will scream wild fire if there's an issue with the logistics of the workers. Most times the client provides accommodation facilities to that effect. This idea of using oyibo to compare yourself while in Nigeria is highly uncalled for. If you're a professional and worth your salt you'll not be in "nairaland" forming an expatriate and seeking for jobs. This forum is actually to share ideas and not to prove you're better than others. We all have ways towards achieving our set goals. The most important thing is getting it right and making your client happy and not feeling he spent more than he should.
