ladyteeks: I did He said 70 per block (for 8500 blocks), then he has to pay iron bender, carpenter and casting..totaling 1.130 Blocks might have been over-estimated! Cant you estimate the number required, by yourself?  You should not pay more than #60/per Block, never and for the fact that the number is large, in the thousands, you should negotiate and not pay more than #50, max #55. Again, how much you pay an iron bender or Carpenter, will depend on the number of Pillars and Lintels you will be doing. What you can do is to negotiate separately with your own, sourced Iron Bender and Carpenter. Its going to be a tough one, if you dont have the knowledge, wont do the trench/brain work (no offense) and wont consult with a QS. |

ladyteeks: He said we need about 8500 blocks for both buildings and iron bender, Capenter will work too Do your own estimation, on the number of Blocks, from your Achy Drawings. assign a cost of say #55/Block and multiply, to give you an idea fo what you should be paying, averagelyBut if you really want to have peace of mind as per materials costing and price and you are not the "amebo, DIY types" like me, ask for the professional help of a QS. Short of that, you just have to take the bold step of trusting your Engineer. Some are not smiling o.  |

QSFemi: I've gone through her posts.
She has brought this issue here some days ago and I advised her on the cost of labour for the block setting. I even calculated the number of blocks that she needed back then. I don't think anything has changed on this particular issue since then. Thank you Sir, your often selfless efforts on this thread is not unnoticed, Karma is a "b!atch", forgive my pun, it was intended.  |

ladyteeks: I figured too. There is no way labor would cost that much. This is someone I tend to trust and now I am doubting if I want to continue using his services. The most trusted ones are the ones you should be most careful with, because they know your guards are down. TRUST BUT VERIFY (just as you are doing now).  Try an estimate the number of Blocks you'll need, based on the dimensions of your building plan. One Block is 18" long, you can estimate 4 or 5 Coaches to Window level and Four Coaches for Windows (minus window and door areas) , with one or two coaches (max) more, to Lintel level. Multiply your blocks by #50/#60, to get an idea fo what to negotiate, that #1.13M price dey vibrate my body. Edit: To be on the safe side, you might confer privately, with our resident @QSFemi, to give you a Material, Quantity and Pricing Schedule, which l think will really help you a lot and save you from Shylock Contractors. I am certain he is a gentleman (from his random acts of kindness on this thread) and will not charge you a vibrating price, for his service, you will certainly be glad you did. |

Chekitaut: I thought i have this perspective alone, thank God i hv seen someone with likes mind.
Our parents are simply the reason, we celebrate mediocrity. Father don't want to leave power to children untill death takes it to give to the children. And where the father is forced to leave and handover to the Child, he continues the same thing the Father was doing: LOOTING.! Like Father, Like Son.  Even Daughters sef don follow join.  Up till about three years ago, l never wanted to hear anything about Nigeria breaking up, bad prediction or people saying "Eyin Oyinbo, ewa funmi ni Fissa". I was a very strong supporter of a big, strong, United Nigeria and let me confess, l was one of those 'honest' fools who believe-in and voted for Buhari, l was really expecting that he would use his military experience, take charge and get things done quickly to move Nigeria forward. I campaigned for him , using his PROMISES. (Power, Anti Corruption, Industrialisation, Roads, Agriculture, Exchange rate, Employment, Housing, etc). But look around you and tell me if corruption has reduced or if insecurity has reduced? In n this Govt, they used #2Billion to PRAY for the defeat of Boko Haram, that is after five years o!  But now, l realised that I WAS SCAMMED!Today, l am gradually replacing this Nigeria that l love so much, with another country, in my heart. My offsprings cannot grow-up in this forsaken environment, unless something is done urgently, starting with breaking up the country into four regions (North, East , West, Middle Belt and South) so that each region can grow at its own pace, practice its own religion, impose its own values and fight its own battles, whatever that may be.With what l have seen in the last five years, l can bet anybody that Nigeria will slip into Civil war, within the next five years, if things continue to go at the current trajectory. This is my first time of predicting such bad news, not because l want it but because that will be the result of the actions being taken by those in power today. I hope they will have a rethink so that this bad prediction will not happen, that is my prayer. Country appears doomed and will be worse that Somalia + Yemen, when Sh!t hits the fan. Nigerian Leaders, from all regions, the Elites but especially the current ones in Govt, have ruined this country beyond imagination and they have mortgaged its future, for the next 60yrs.I really weep for this country, so blessed with everything you can imagine, yet so ruined by Evil Politicians and their Elite friends, l hope they all rot in hell, in the hereafter. May God help us, because even 'Protesting' is not helping us. |

Please can someone tell me what name that you will call a black man, that is not considered a racist It is not the name that is the problem it is the CONTEXT and USAGE. You can call a 'Black' man, a 'white' man, and it would still be racist! A lot of people have no idea what racism is all about.  |

Clarke said he was "deeply saddened" for the offence he had caused by using the term "coloured footballers".
He prompted further criticism when referring to gay players making a "life choice" and a coach telling him young female players did not like having the ball hit hard at them.
He also said there were "a lot more South Asians than there are Afro-Caribbeans" in the FA's IT department because "they have different career interests".
"We can confirm that Greg Clarke has stepped down from his role as our chairman," said an FA statement. HYPOCRITES everywhere! Is "Black" or even "White" not a Color? If so, what is wrong in calling Black/White players, Colored Players?
Is being GAY not a Choice of Lifestyle (like sleeping with people of same gender as your self!)? So, what is wrong is saying it as it is, that it is a 'Life Choice; which anyone is entitled to make?
Is it not a fact that Asians have smaller physical sizes and as such, prefer to engage in less physically-demanding work? Is it not a fact that Asians (especially Indians and Chinese) dominate the I.T Profession, all over the world? What is wring in pointing out the 'obvious'?
Is it not a fact that females dont like Balls being hit hard at them? Do we not even see it in the Stadiums and football pitches where girls dodge the small when it is coming too hard at them? Is it not just a matter of natural physiology or can anyone compare the Speed and physicality of Male Football with that of Female Football? All these Political correctness sef. Man cant speak his mind again, simps will be crawling all over.  |
