QSFemi:
Interesting points.

However, quantities are reflections of qualities of the job keeping other factors constant such as pilfering, compromise or sabotage. In other words, construction costs are meant to be proportionate to the quality of work.

Typical scenario.

The description column in the Bill of Quantities is meant to represent the quality of work to be done and this is represented as the rate in the bill.

For example; like you said that we've different mix ratio of concrete. That's why in a BOQ, the rate for 1:2:4 reinforced concrete is different from that of 1:4:8 concrete of the same volume or quantity.

Other issues raised in your posts are basically the contractors, builders or even owners sabotaging the required specifications for selfish gain. This is entirely different from establishing accurate quantities of items of work, albeit quality of the work.

For a BOQ Material Costing what do you need and what is your fees?

He is there now maybe he would respond..hahaha

Hello, please show more pictures of that skirting board you have there. I like it more than using tiles for skirting. It seems using skirting boards is more expensive than tiles but it brings out finer details and more beautiful than using tiles.

Almost all builds in Nigeria uses same floor tiles for their skirting. I like the white board skirting thing more than tiles.

Here a picture of the installed skirting.

I woke up this morning to a heated exchange of comments styled with abusive, provocative and censored words by Gcardcodes and Goodfaith.
Now, it doesn't matter who started it.
Wrong adverts found themselves in mysterious places too.
To this end therefore, i have reported them to Nairaland and hopefully those comments will be extinct in seconds. Incase you're wondering who did it.

This got me thinking big time! You might be right

Badgers14:
Just to think that before endsars. Cement was sold at 2300 -2550 depending on location.

After endsars, the prices almost doubled in most places.

What economic theory is that?

Or are they trying to punish the masses for the end sars movement? ( this is a question and not a statement).

rajput4real93:


I was expecting you to enlighten us or at least clear the dubious allegations against roofers, but unfortunately you have been silent. Is this an indictment of ALL roofers?

Soon you will see a post from him saying "another completed job from Imran roofing" just wait for it.

...and this are the set of people that will go to church on Sunday/mosque on Friday to pray to God and also complain government are bad(while they are bad at their own path)!

lorhema:


This is a tip I'll file away.


In our first build, I got the roofer from Iyana-Ipaja. He gave me the cutting list as I requested.

Then I said we were going to a factory at Oregun to make the purchase. When we got there, I went straight to the sales desk and met the woman who was about my age. I gave her the list and now noticed that the roofer was uncomfortable.

I didn't think much of it. The woman looked at him and asked him if his measurement was correct. He said "yes".

I paid and we loaded the aluminium into a truck and returned to the site.

In the days that followed, it became clear that the aluminium was too much

I now understood that he wouldn't have bought what was stated on the cutting list but would have kept the extra cash if we had given him the money for the purchase like he expected.

I had to use the extra aluminium to make a canopy in a corner of the yard for hanging washing during the rainy season. I still have some left over in a store.

[b]They see it as business. But I think it's all because we don't fear God. [/b]Forget about the facade of religion.
