Hello Engineers and contractors,
please can someone tell me how much should an engineer/architect charge for supervising my building project. my engineer is asking for 300k to supervise from ground floor block setting to first floor slab (slab included). he charged me 300k from foundation to german floor which i think was even too much. please what's the best charge for the next phase in your honest opinion.

1) Please specify your building type/number of rooms?
2) Your type of land and location?

Rubbiish:

Your question no clear...300k to first floor slab or frm foundation to german floor?

Haaaa, l don't understand u, 300,k too much, oga

Essentially done with 15m all in for 4 room and parlour self contained and 2 two bedrooms it’s for rental and has a medium finish. Sorry no spreadsheet attach still recuperating I tire to the bones and under the weather.

Pls share how you achieved that. Even if it's cost from the carcass level.
Good one Madam

i was charged 300k from foundation to german floor, now he wants to charge another 300k from the german floor to first floor slab. isn't that too much for the next phase of the building

If I get you well, u mean block work for ground floor and decking, right?

Price is fair

Rubbiish:

Price is fair

What makes the price fair?
You've not being told the structure type neither have you seen the design plan.

From his description i already have an idea of the kind of structure he is talking about.

Timtol:

To me it's not expensive, it's normal price.
Some charge higher than that and some charge the same,others charge less.
Quality matters.
Negotiation matters as well.
God bless.

What kind of talk is this?

"To YOU" it is not expensive.
"To YOU" it is normal price.

When did "YOU" become a yardstick for judging what is normal or expensive or a benchmark?

and then you negated yourself by saying some charge more, some same or some less?
What exactly are you trying to say? If you have nothing to say about a question, you can just skip it.

If you want to benchmark price, you would use the price of contractors in that field, NOT YOUR PERSONAL FEELINGS.
I am sure you ended up confusing the @Op the more.

BTW: How much a Supervisor will charge will largely depend on the extent of the project.
A Bungalow Project's foundation to german floor, is not the same as that of a two stroey building Foundation to german floor.
Also, the nature of the soil of the place is a factor because foundation in a swamp is not the same as foundation in a highland / Red soil area.
Finally size of Project (land area covered by the foundation) is also a factor.

Despite all the above, the Supervisor is to stand around and make sure things are done properly. H is not the Builder naah?
200K maximum, irrespective of above factors, should be enough for supervision of blockwork to Lintel level.
100K for Block work (assuming 2weeks)
75K to 100Kmax for Lintel and Slab

Really?!!

Okay, what is the floor size of the building in Sq/meters?
How many floors?
What is the soil type?
How many Living Rooms?
How many flats
What type of foundation was used? How many Boards if a Raft?

Give us answers to these small questions and we would take your word that you ALREADY kKNOW the type of building he is talking about.

Your question is not complete, Did you rent a serviced apartment?
Is bulbs part of the agreement?

Its 10% on Materials & Labour cost... any charges less is your power to bargain or sympathy from the Engineer.

landlord needs tester bulbs to check that the lights are working but tenants buy bulbs for their flat.

Thanks for this.
And actually the man replied to my question.
So what?
I'm not talking to you,I don't know your own.
I see hatred of the highest order on Nairaland here.
What rubbish!
It's not by force you talk if you aren't comfortable with someone.
I don't expect all men to appreciate or like me,sure that's life so?
Pls keep your track well sir.
Statement should be ignored.
It's a free world... if my words doesn't have meaning to you then be silent, it's not by force to reply cos I don't know your own.
I guess u Sha wanna type something that's why.
Good for you tho.
You Sha making me aggressive...chai nawa for you ooo

Anyways,we have freedom of speech so go ahead but pls check things out first.
I can't stop you from speaking.

Yeah i see this quite a lot but wonder what's the basis. is supervision in itself not a labour charge? if so, why can't supervision be charged as a % of materials only.

I wouln't even agree to this method anyways. Supervision/professional fees, just like labor, should be charged based on work scope and not material.

You guys might actually be shortchanging yourself. If the client decides to purchase materials himself and gets it cheaper than your quote and you charge your fees as a % of materials, then you make less money than what you anticipated if you had purchased the material.

Chekitaut:
Its 10% on Materials & Labour cost... any charges less is your power to bargain or sympathy from the Engineer.
