When a tiler says, 25 x60 tile..

Also what unit are the measurements , are they in mm or m. Like 25mm x 60mm or ?


25cm *60cm is (it always written this way 250mm * 600mm) on the cartons

Italian do write in inches at time I.e 12 inches x 33inches at time ooo and it mean length and width

Please Advise!!!

What is the average cost for engineer's supervision fee for German floor only?

Are you asking the price to pay the Engineer to "Supervise" or to "BUILD"?

These two are different.
And is it to build/Supervise from scratch (pegging) , up to German floor OR to just supervise the casting of the Oversight Concrete (German Floor)?

Your question is not too specific please.

I don’t think that will work. It’s never worked for me but hoping to learn.

@Badgers14
I read it on a bulletin, about two days ago, that Goggle just implemented that process to locate with Long/Lat Coordinates, it will never have worked before the recent implementation.

You will have to update your Goggle Maps, to be able to use it but be aware that such Updates may be region-specific at times, as to how quickly it is implemented.

There are so many other ways to cheat you, apart from counting number of tyres. grin grin

If you can search, there is a Post by @Chekitaut, made over five Years ago on this thread, that did a breakdown of the different methods they can use to cheat a Client.
It is good everyone familiarise themselves with that post and Thanks once again, to @Chekitaut, for that post.

because supplier know customer count tyres they use a 14tyres trailer load 15tons in it deliver to site, that is for people who count tyres.

Every 30tons load of Granite must occupy the whole bucket with good hip of Granite. 3 types of truck lift 30tons.
Howo Chinese truck 10tyres
Dump truck with 12tyres
Trailer truck with 14tyres

Bucket matters, some bucket are designed for 20tons, 25tons, 30tons & 45tons this is the only place customer get confused.

Not all engineer know this.
20tons truck are
8tyres truck (Iveco mostly from Abeokuta)
10tyres truck(Mack, Man, Iveco, Scania, Volvo)
Still, not all lift 20tons its dependant on the bucket

Good afternoon everyone. How is it going over there?

The hike in the cost of materials is a major concern. We are leveraging advance payment to trusted suppliers and bulk purchase to manage the situation.

How are you coping?

Quantity Surveyor, Cost Consultant, Project Manager.



One of the developers who engaged our service for supervision already paid for all reinforcements, Cement, blocks, granite and dust that will complete his project before the recent hike in price. As a result of the agreement signed, he is not affected by the current fluctuation in price of commodities.

He got the details from the material schedule we prepared for him. He is happy and smiling now. The project is about #50m
no variation clause in the agreement? This is not professional.

You are not mis-firing at all, though a bit generalising.
And what l mean is that there are still a few good people on this thread, whether as Clients, Contractors, etc.
There are also fraudsters out there but you are right about one thing: If you engage someone by yourself, you take all the risk by yourself and you get to prepare properly in that engagement.

What l see as the irony here is that When you recommend someone and a Client acts on that recommendation, when Yaawa happens, you should stand-up and either resolve the issue or you publicly denounce the Fraudster, you cant just keep quiet and say nothing because if not for your recommendation, maybe the Client would have been more alert and not patronise that person.
If l recommend someone to a Client/Contractor, and the Client/Contractor gets burnt, l would bear the consequence myself and hold the person l recommended to account
We cant just be giving out recommendation just to be liked or curry future favor, that is ungodly
. angry

Dont recommend if you know that you wont be able to resolve any Yaawa that happens, Period.

Edit: Events below, have overtaken this post, since the money has been refunded.
Blessed are the Peace-makers.

This is a discuss boss. Not fighting.

I feel your submission is a bit harsh. And it's been directed to Hajj M.

You have mentioned him in earlier posts because he recommended Dennis and things went south.

Recommendations is based on previous conduct. That's why even if someone comes recommended, you still have to do your due diligence.

Even if things go south, finding a solution / middle ground is the next step, not blaming the person that gave recommendation.

We all know how even technicians/contractors/humans that did good today, can fvck up tomorrow.

I have been on this forum for years and What we don't GIVE CREDIT ENOUGH FOR, IS THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE HAJJ HAS HELPED AND SAVED WITH HIS RECOMMENDATIONS.

Im a builder here, And No, I'm not kissing arse or currying favour from Hajj because He and I haven't talked and jobs for years.

Good evening to everyone on this forum,
In the making of parapet, is it advisable that holes be bored in the headcourse blocks to stand the woods during woodwork before pouring of concrete as in the attached pic?

I dont like it. I tell my guys to support mostly from ground up and window openings. Although they still break blocks if they have to.
