Are you sure that Architects are trained in cost estimation as you stated below?

That's what Quantity Surveyors are trained for.

[b]Cost estimation
Architects visualize the project with their creative designs and create cost estimates. Cost estimation is done together with building contractors and engineers so that there will not be an underestimation of cost of materials needed and other payments.[/b]

Good evening house.

I read with great care and attention the issue involving @ BiigTee (Building owner) and Rotecch77 (Contractor) about the performance and integrity of the already cast slab done by the contractor. To be candid, some worthwhile contributions have been submitted by some informed members of this noble platform. Worthy of note is calling in a reputable and competent structural engineer to assess the integrity of the whole building and advice accordingly. There's a world of difference between a structural engineer and a builder. While the former ensures the structural integrity and stability of structures, the latter oversee the building production process.

Going forward, I have said it times without number on this platform that prospective building owners especially such buildings that involve one, two or more floors (storeyed buildings) should engage an independent consultants such as the design Architect, structural engineer, M&E engineer and quantity surveyor to act on behalf of the client during the construction stage. The client doesn't necessarily need to hire all of them at a go but could selectively seek their advice on critical stage of the construction process. Most clients are not trained in the building procurement process and as such requisite professionals can come handy.

For instance, a well advised client can use the strategy of retention fee to insure himself against issues such as negligence, poor workmanship, defective materials or what have you emanating from the contractor.

Construction work is fraught with risks and such risks should be duly shared on the liable party - client, contractors or consultants so as to avert the adversarial culture (trading blames) that normally occur when there's a liability on site.

You will need 31 cartons of 25 x 40.

Based on the following scenarios.

A carton of 25 x 40 has 15pcs of tiles which means that 1 carton has an area of 1.50sqm.

As regards the kitchen, I assumed you've 2 doors and 1 window, so that brings the total area to be tiled to approximately 44sqm.

Divide this 44sqm by 1.50sqm (area in 1 carton) to give us approximately 29 cartons. Add 5% for waste and breakages, that brings the needed cartons to 31.

Dijita:
I don't know the wall dimension. The floor is 4775 by 3220 mm. I am assuming professionals can calculate wall dimension with that.

That's a good decision, sir.

I'm sorry for the meas you found yourself.
Like I've said in the past, the scope and specification of work to be done by an appointed builder or contractor should be clearly written unambiguously and should be followed to the letter.

Building clients are encouraged to hire quantity surveyors to help not only in this regard but also establish the construction cost based on the drawings and specification. Even during construction, quantity surveyors should be engaged to see to the execution of such specifications as defined in his Bill of quantities on behalf of the clients.

Most often than not, clients are not trained in the technicalities of the construction process.

MrOkenwa:
I really don’t know if the 28m would be enough or not. What I’m concerned about is the quality of work that would be done during the construction of the said duplex.
It’s better to get your design from architects and get a building contractor to do justice to it, under your close supervision if you have the time.
I am seriously struggling to pull out of a “bring this amount and I’ll build you a 4bedroom duplex” kinda situation now and I’m still in the mess currently.
Save yourself the headache.
“Trust is the currency of fraud...”

Kudos.

n3xt:
Yeah! We are currently working on six different build with six different foundation.

Thank you for promoting quantity surveying services.

Research shows that engaging a quantity surveyor not only reduces the entire construction cost by 25% but also leads to clients being satisfied about the entire construction process.

uncleteeh:
Sir, this kind of issue calls for careful and a painstaking contractual agreement.
You should have consulted a QS and even have an agreement before venturing into stuffs like this.
Don't just stop at surveyor or architect's service, include quantity surveyors too in this kind of approach.
May you come out from the struggle oooo.

What's the area of the land because the term "plot" is subjective these days.

Blessed months to friends here.

On the issue of right to claim or own empty buckets of paints between the painter or the client, as being discussed hitherto, I would like to add my bit to the ongoing robust discussion.

I would like to use the following scenarios.

For instance in a building project where the client has contracted the task of constructing his building to a main contractor who is to see to the procurement of materials and labour and subsequent construction, such an arrangement means that the contractor is responsible for possession of excess materials and leftovers that would arise during the construction process. Conversely, it also means that the contractor would be solely liable for any underestimated materials that would lead to shortages during construction especially in a fixed price contract. That is why a contractor is paid overheard and profit fro his trouble in procuring materials, labour, equipment and other necessary needs to execute the contractor. In other words, the contractor is compensated for the risks he is faced during execution of the contract. Also, the contractor is liable for badly executed job. In this arrangement, the contractor is in charge of procuring necessary tradesmen like mason, painter, carpenter, tiler etc.
Conclusively, the contractor is to be responsible for excess materials, leftovers, or shortages that can happen during the construction process.

On the other hand, the client might procure his materials himself and only engage the contractor on workmanship-based contract only. In this arrangement the client will be responsible for any excess materials, leftovers or even shortages in materials. Like the case in point involving the client and the painter, the client will own the right to claim the empty buckets of paints if the painter is contracted on a workmanship based contract only. That means the painter is not saddled with the troubles of buying the materials.

In summary, the method and conditions of engagement of a contractor, subcontractor or tradesmen either implicitly or explicitly defined should form the basis of decision on who should own the empty buckets of paints.

I so submit.

Cost of materials and labour are relatively higher in Benin compared to most states. I did some projects there recently. Coupled with the rising cost of construction materials, you can budget 8 to 12m depending on your choices.

How much can i build and complete a four bedroom bungalow with all room ensuit with a modrate finishing touch in Benin city

Since you've a BOQ, it should have recommended an amount for the contractor's overheads and profit (supervisory fee).

DUNKA:
Goodday all please what is the average percentage of the builder/ contractor supervision fees?

Also is the total cost obtained from the BOQ or what is the basis of the supervision fees?

Thanks for your enlightenment?

This is very true.

I believe professionals are generally underpaid in Nigeria.

UC92:
Here in Nigeria, every fee is based on negotiations. Scale of fees for professionals don't even work here.
