walexyll:My observations, there is a pattern from the figures. The more surface area, the lesser price. Like most goods in the market, someone buying in bulk would always get it for less. This is just my opinion, going by the pattern from the data presented. You might want to rearrange the column of surface area in the table presented, in ascending or descending order to notice the consistency. Moreover, it seems smaller windows dey waste materials. The same length of materials that would have been used to do a longer windows is cut into pieces with more off cuts, to produce those small ones. |

sonnie10: I already mentioned your observation that I understand that there is an element of fixed cost that goes into the costing. But having a pricing variance of 116% for the same product looks "somehow" to me. It is just like you buying the big Milo 400g refill pack for N2,000 (that is N5/gram of milo) and you are asked to buy the 20g milo sachet for N216 ( that is N10.8/g of milo). PS: I have re-arranged as you suggested and attached

walexyll: Think causation. Real world events are not always linear. This is why in statistics, it is made clear that correlation does not imply causation. The inability to legitimately deduce a causation and effect relationship between two events or variables solely on the basis of an observed association or correlation between them should not come as a surprise. Correlation is a relationship between two variables, when one variable changes, the other variable also changes but causation is when there is a real-world explanation for why this is logically happening; it implies a cause and effect. |

sonnie10: Oga mi, I have done a lot of product costing in my career and I still struggle to understand this particular costing. For a simple product like this, what goes into product costing? Your BOM (direct materials), direct OH (energy cost, labour cost, machine hour RM & dep, etc) and your fixed OH. I still find it hard to make sense of the variation. So, this is not a mater of causation vs correlation. For me, I am leaning towards some arbitrariness rather than some thoughts going towards the pricing. It has to just make sense! |

walexyll: Why is a wall clock (which is bigger) cheaper than a wrist watch (which is smaller) ? Sometimes, things are not cheaper by the dozen due to: #Sunk in cost #production intricacies #The amount of time spent due to the intricacies #Unit cost #Marginal cost The pricing may not be arbitrary, could be as a result of the intricacies involved in the sourcing of the materials and production of smaller units. 1 Like |

kalu61:Coiner Slimszy KolaShangOne Picture 1 shows the depth of the gravel base as well as the size of the concrete footing. You can also see that we scraped the foundation until we got to the compacted laterite Picture 2 shows what was immediately below the destroyed thin concrete or shall I say cement floor, a mix of sharp sand and gravel and boulders (which are missing in this picture though) Picture 3 shows the boulders that formed part of the foundation immediately above the compacted laterite Picture 4 shows a cross-section of the compacted laterite (the bags you see are bags of gravel that will be washed before being used to form a gravel base on top of the compacted laterite before a slab will be poured. However, there will be a little more scrapping until there is no more sharp sand on top of the laterite before the gravel base will be made 2 Likes

walexyll: Do you think its possible to price whole house windows per total square meters? That is, total area multiply by unit cost. If that is the case, which value do you think is feasible, the min, median or max price? Clients would say the min price (which is just wishes), while vendors would say the max price ( human nature of greed). The truth is whatever median price obtained, might not cut it. |

diordaves:Good insight, however, the comparison of wall clock and wrist watches might not be quite absolute. Obviously, different BOM, the engine version of wristwatches are miniatured, hence, more labour time. As I earlier mentioned, I do not expect the smaller windows to be cheaper than the larger ones, only that the 116% variance looks quite large and I STILL struggle to make sense out of it. |

sonnie10:I am actually at the window level of my build and my approach is to get the materials myself and then, I pay for labour based on estimated time to complete the job. All the people I spoke with have not taken this approach before, they had all paid for the window as a complete unit. So, I think it is worth experimenting. |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by sonnie10: 12:52am On Nov 14, 2022 |
walexyll: This approach is tricky for someone who is not versed in that area of business. Some material could be purchased more than actually needed, resulting in waste. Another thing is that they could divert some materials if you are not there to monitor. Labor cost could be on the high side since there is no other way to "chop the client." As a one off customer, the cost of purchasing those material would be higher than what a vendor would normally get. This would affect the total cost How do you know the quality you are buying? Other logistics like transportation which a vendor might take care of with his vehicle, would add to the total cost. It all depends on the individuals involved (client and vendor). Good luck on your project 1 Like |

walexyll: Your approach makes a lot of sense. Just last week, even though he was invited to the site, and took measurements, an artisan failed to buy enough materials for the work he was to do. Now, I have to go back to buy enough materials to ensure that the work is done properly. My point is, it is not enough to hire an artisan, it is good to get involved. The extent of involvement depends on the client and his knowledge of the field and or resources. For this to work, you may need to consult with another vendor not for the purpose of hiring him to do the work, but for the purpose of verification of information submitted by other vendors especially if this is a highly technical field 2 Likes |
