I would rather pay higher to get a nice wood board TV console than to go for the pop version.
I think the Pop version will soon go out of fashion.
the combination is good though

I mean plaster board plus wood design... simple stuff though not too elaborate

Good afternoon from my end here.

This is a procurement problem and many solutions are in practice depending on many factors. I won't make it an academic treatise, however, I'll do justice to it in my own way.

The following are the procurement options or methods in operation.

1) Traditional or Open procurement method.

Under this method, the first thing that should be done is nomination of consultants. The consultants could involve an architectural firm, a quantity surveying firm,civil or structural engineering firm, electrical and mechanical engineering firm and a project t management firm depending on the project. Appointment of any of this consultant can be done in two ways - either through nomination/selection or through competitive method. By nomination/selection, I mean you can invite reputable firms to undertake the consultancy of the project. On the other hand, you could advertise the need for consultancy in 2 or 3 national dailies, tender's board journals or construction journals for any interested consulting firm to apply. Thereby, successful firms can be nominated.

When the job of nomination of consultancy have been done, then we move to design of the project which is the primary responsibility of the appointed consultants. If it's a building project, the architect takes the briefs and commence schematic designs to be approved by the client before embarking on working drawings. The quantity surveying firm should also be involved at this design stage to ensure that the consulting architect isn't designing out of budgets.

If it's a civil engineering projects such as roads or railway, then the consulting civil engineering firm will be in charge of the design.

At this stage, all the appointed consultancy firms must have been done with their working drawings - architectural, civil or structural, electrical and mechanical drawings. All these working drawings will now be handed over to the consulting quantity surveying firm to produce firm bill of quantities which will itemise cost of materials, labour, equipment, overheads, preliminaries and other necessary cost that the project entails. That means that we now have the working drawings and the projected budget (The quantity surveyor's estimated cost) for the project. With this information, we're now armed with the designs of the projects and projected cost. Then, we can now proceed to tendering or bidding.

I'll send in the tendering part in my next post.







doyen1:
I have a question please.

If someone wants to do a serious build, not kobo kobo build, but like a turn key, how do you invite bidders to bid? Where do you advertise for bidders? Or you will approach Julius Berger and ask them to quote and then approach other people one by one? Then how are you sure you got the best architect, or builder if it is limited to those you know?

Then will one company design and build or you have to get design separate from build?

yea but to me, this isn't a marriage. why is she not borrowing him money to complete their permanent home instead of borrowing him money to pay rent?

Why is the man not loaning money from her to build their permanent home instead of loaning money to pay rent?


It all still boils down to this





The question to ask here is “How can a man sold a house for N150m 7 years ago and can’t build another one?

That should give you ideas of why the woman need to act the way she did.

And this



The N24m was a loan refund to the woman.

Make I no lie, men sabi fuckup.

Please could someone help me understand the major difference between TV console made of POP cement and that made of plasterboard.

Which of this is ideally cheaper and more durable? I know one can hardly tell the difference once the two are screeded and painted.

Cost effective. = POP Cement is cheaper
Not just Cheaper, but also better & Stronger.

I would not advice my clients to choose Plaster board over PoP cement, whether for Building a Tv console or making a false ceiling.


Plaster Board : comes in Ready made form. Usually fits with screws.

The Biggest advantage of Plaster Board/Gypsum Board: it's a quick installation process & a cleaner Method.


Disadvantages: Crack occurs with the slightest movement, For example : cutting of space for search Lights.
Incase of Repair, you will need to Pull down a bigger portion for repair.
If moisture seeps into the gypsum ceiling through leaking roofs or air conditioning drain pipes, it may result in fungal growth.



POP: like i said, POP is stronger, we build Pop boards using Filas (Which serves as the skeletal system) ,water & PoP cement.

We can always determine the quality of a POP board. (This is where hiring a Professional comes in Place)

Once POP Board is made, it gets stronger as it dries up. After a month of installation it's get even stronger.
it's Cost effective than plaster Board.
Repairs can be easily Done, Mistakes can be easily corrected as well.


Disadvantages : using POP cement for Tv console or false ceiling. Pop making process can be Very Messy.

Preparation & installation Process is Tedious unlike the latter very easy Process & clean method

Time Consuming.

Nota bene= Depending on who you hire. Your POP works can either be of Standard quality or Fail out.


Hope this will help.
