Please which QS did you engage
Rany4all:
This is exactly what went down:

Before I engaged the installer, I hired a Quantity Surveyor on this forum to do the roofing estimate for me (installer did not know this). The QS estimate for the actual area to be covered was 478sqm, but with 25% addition (making 598sqm) to account for wastes.

Now wood work for the roof was done exactly as designed on the architectural drawings (no addition or subtraction) and the final cost of the wood work was very close to the QS estimate as well.

After wood work, I engaged the installer and we agreed 200/sqm as installation fee. He took his measurements, did his calculations and came up with an area of 354sqm to be covered.

Now considering the significant difference between the figures from QS and installer, I decided to go with the installer's figure so as not to incur a huge loss, in case the QS figure was wrong. So I added 25% to installer's estimate and ordered 443sqm, which was made known to installer.

So he did 443sqm initially, and it covered only about 3 quarters of the roof. Installer then calculated the remaining uncovered area, and came up with an additional 150sqm to complete the job. This time though I decided to ignore installer's calculation and went with the original estimate from the QS and got an additional 155sqm to make a total of 598sqm.

The roof was eventually covered with a total of 596sqm, which is in line with the QS estimate.

Now, the installer is insisting his installation fee is 200 × 598 (not even 596 that did the job), while I'm insisting I will only pay for area of roof installed (excluding off-cuts), which should be like 200 × 478 (going by the estimate from QS).

I have told the installer, if he doubts the estimated area from the QS, he can repeat his measurements and calculations, but the guy is saying it will never be the same as that of the QS, that I must pay according to the total area of sheets bought.

Nor be small argument for site today o. We almost came to blows grin

If you know you're an extrovert and you want to get into tech, find below some of the roles you should be considering:

-IT Biz Analyst( biz process, biz analyst, technical BA)
-project management
-junior technical consultant
-product management
-customer success managers
-business process consultant
- cybersecurity consultant
-sales engineer(this is hot cake)

PS: you don't need to have a background in tech to get into these tech roles!!!!

So if you're looking to transition into tech and see how your current skills can fit into these roles. And if you need help join this group (https://t[.]me/+Qj7WZx6FE0hlYjVk)

NB: make sure to remove the square bracket between "t" and "me" if you want to join the group

4.5m should get you tokunbo highlander 2002 to 2007model years

4.5m can't get you a tokunbo RX330 not to talk of 350, nah naija used got you for your budget.

Not too sure of MDX price but just maybe the 4.5 can get tokunbo 2007 or 2008 sha.

For me the RX is the best choice here reliability well balanced with luxury and having a moderate fuel.economy.

The MDX is a superb machine for racers and those who want performance if you can fuel it

The highlander is just your normal run in the mill vehicle has all the works but lacks that refinement in luxury compartment.

The only other vehicle I can recommend is the infiniti FX35 it packs a punch among the bunch. Fuel economy is same as the MDX it is reliable and luxurious too and not bad when it comes to movement, parts are available but body parts are expensive though readily available
Thanks will probably stick with the rx350 naija used.

Getting tired of seeing so many "2018 Range Roger Evoque or 1995 Toyota Corolla, which one should I buy?" posts.

The goal of this thread is to hold all the comparison posts, and also for those looking for car recommendations. [s]Especially since Nurey no wan follow directives. [/s]

When looking for a recommendation, please state your budget and the purpose of the car. Factors you're concerned with (fuel economy, luxury, design, drive ability, tech features, etc) should also be stated, as well as any questions you may have.

Hopefully the Cartalk gurus will have an answer for everyone. I'll try as much as possible to help with the little I know, too.

Are you building DIY without structural drawings? This is your foundation we are talking about, the most important element of your built.

Foundation should be designed by a specialist with regards to the condition of the soil and the expected load. Foundations are strict civil engineering science and not a topic you present for debate at the debating and dramatic society. You shouldn't be debating your foundation. You should be implementing your foundation according to your structural drawings.

It is good advice to follow due process and best practice as certified by a professional. Foundation is one element you can't afford to get wrong. I'm not a civil engineer but trust me on this Kobo kobo or no Kobo kobo.

Good day everyone, still on kobo kobo project

We plan to introduce dwarf pillars in the building (foundation level), the builder now says we will need to do an all round beam across the perimeter of the building to tie the columns together?

The question is, is this necessary? Should I do it or not.

Advise and suggestions are welcome.

Thanks as you contribute.

100k is a fair offer, setting out is just mapping out the layout, since he is not doing the foundation, anything not above 100k is okay, he won't be hiring much labourers, just him and another person. So 100k is enough, get the required materials, hammer, peggings, levelling tool, builders square, ropes and nails, and you are good to go. Some dey charge 75k self
