@one4me

Calling someone a "fraudster" and "con man" on a faceless forum is a dent on my public image, which could deter prospective clients from having future dealings with me..
So I would plead with you to take down or edit your previous post.

To your last question I graduated from LASPOTECH.

I have an HND in Quantity Surveying , OND Civil Engineering , PgD Construction management & MSC (in view).If you are not aware, quantity surveyors can act as arbitrators .Have you ever heard of JCT?
At the moment, I lead a 6man team of building professionals.(architects and builders inclusive)
Our head office is at adekunle awobiyi close, Ogba, Lagos. With our branch office at ikorodu.

Not everyone on this platform is a greedy hustler.

One4me:
I was reluctant to answer you because you come across as rude, with the first line your comment.
But on second thought, l decided l will just educate you a bi and cure you of your ignorance

1) PRICE FIXING, is it legal or illegal in Law?
Market, any market is supposed to be controlled by the 'Laws od Demand and Supply, which dictates Price.
Price Fixing is illegal anywhere, hoarders and price fixers get arrested regularly
It is only shylock, lazy and greedy sellers that result to price fixing. Unionsim is to protect the intrest of Workers, not to turn the profession into a mafia-cotrolled price-fixers.

2) Uniformity of Pricing: Read what Sadyfact wrote and you will see where he said there are different Prices for different areas, so your 'Uniformity of Pricing' is already debunked and out of the window, by another Professional in the field grin grin. Your ignorance is obvious.
There acnt be uniformity of pricing, because different terrains pose different challenges to surveyors (Surveying a Swamp is more challenging to a Surveyor, than surveying a dry grass, sandy land. You dont expect both Surveyors to charge same amount because one would be short-changed.
How can there be Uniformity in Survey Pricing when even the price of the land itself, varies from place to place?
How is it possible that if l but a plot of land in Borno at #30,000, l will do the Survey for #400,000? Is that not stupidity of the part of the Surveyor asking for such price? grin

3.) Minimum Price?
Unless you agree that you are completely ignorant, l want you to do a break down of that #400K/Plot fee and let us see whether it goes wholly to the Government or What percentage actually goes to the Govt.
That #400K is way far,far above any minimum price of a Survey, it was just fixed arbitrarily by lazy Surveyors who want to be feeding fat on Union Dues.
grin
It is greedy cheats like you that add to the cost of building properties and hence the Cost of rent for poorer people, becaue you like to extort!
Greed will kill some of you, that is why you disturb this Thread will all your silly, hustling adverts. Instead of making money on rapid turn-over, you want to become millionaire over one Survey job from an individual Client! angry

4.) Registered Surveyor will be arrested by Union!
You are a true Clown! If you no the Law, you will understand the rules governing membership of a Union (It is Voluntary) and how compensation are negotiated between Client and Provider (Surveyor). It stands to reason that you can force anyone to do any job they dont want to do, for any amount. A Survey job is governed by Contract Law and the three important element of such Contract, (Offer, Acceptance and agreed Consideration), makes the COntract valid and your Union Police cant do jerk or else he goes to Prison, once both Client and Supplier have legally contracted. How many have you arrested sef? grin grin
What the Union gave you are called GUIDELINES, it is not a law and non-enforceable in any Law Court

Finally, Mafia-style greed does not make a professional or make them rich, it is turn over that makes a business Enterpreneur, be it professional or not, Rich. If you try any Agbero style, you will end-up in jail. grin

Please dont come back at me with some lame, hustler response, l wont even bother to read it.
It's legal for a consultant offering services to have a fixed price or fee. There's nothing illegal about price fixing for professional services.

Apart from demand and supply, the government can set prices for product and services.Just the way the government set prices for petroleum products.

My stance on uniform prices stands, if you have issues with the prices, take it up with SURCON.
You need to put aside all those economic principles put forward by Adam Smith and Alfred marshall.
In reality you can defy the laws of demand and supply. Any organization that allows the laws of demand and supply to control prices of it's product, would remain a slave to the market.

Do you think most of these multi national (Pepsi, coke etc)companies allow the laws of Demand and supply to control their business.


A registered surveyor that goes against the Regulatory body(SURCON) can loose his license to practice.
One last thing a Survey job is not "governed" by contract law."Most" professionals offering their services do not enter into any contract with their client, rather there is an agreement between the two parties.

As we all know , if there is no willingness to enter into a legal binding agreement , THERE IS NO CONTRACT.

I am a chatered arbitrator by the way . Stay blessed.

We have discussed this issue before.
The fact that a Professional body issued a price guideline, does not mean that is what Customers will pay or you should charge a Customer.
It is like when the Pepper Grinder Association just wakeup one day and raise dthe price of grinding Pepper to #100, no matter how small it is.
Smart Pepper grinders recognise that if you charge too much as your association suggested, you wont get customers and you will still have to pay Association fees but the smart ones will look at your Pepper and say, 'Okay, it is small, l will take #50 for this' and before youknow it, theyhave made a lot of money while the ones still insisting on Association price, are still yawning and waiting for their first customer.

I had a similar issue with my Welder.
He said their 'Association has said anytime they go to weld anything in a Customers compound, they must charge a minimum of #5,000, no matter how small it is. Because he has been working with me for awhile, he came to do the work (just to use fire cut a Padlock that we misplaced the key. One other welder who overheard our discussion when l said l will only pay #2,000, went to report him and their Chairman came to carry his Welding Machine, just infornt of my house, as the guy was about to leave.
Well, l ensured the Chariman and his assistant got locked up and chargedfor stealing. Apart from bailing themselves, they also paid for the fiancial loss' suffered by the Welder. Now that is an extreme case, l just dont like their overbearing attitude and l was determined to remind them that joining a Union is voluntary, by law. They have left him alone since them.
Unionism should not be solely to extort the Client, all fees should be reasonable.

There are Surveyors who are smart and will do a Plot for less than #400K, l know a few and it is genuine (that is the bargaining excuse they greedy ones use, they scare the customer that if it is cheaper than what their Union prescribed, it wont be registered at Alausa! Bullsheeet). I have used them twice in the last two years.
The person requiring a Surveyor can send me a PM and l will give him numbers of Smart Surveyors who will do it for #300K/Plot.
If you ask these #400K Surveyors why it is #400K, their best defense is That is what the Institute Prescribed or that is the standard fee!
Who says it is the Standard fee and what right do they have, to impose such exhorbitant price on Clients?
People like you, are one of the the reasons why Nigeria is where it is today. The labour union laws mean nothing to you. Reason why professional bodies fix prices ,is to ensure uniformity in pricing of professional services nation wide or within a particular state.Now what the bodies are trying to do is to ensure that professionals earn within a certain range, it's just the same way we have the "minimum wage". A Registered surveyor would never charge below 400k. Only surveyors who are not registered would charge you less.The funny thing is , this surveyors that charge less, would still approach the registered ones to sign and seal the survey plan for them.

It's illegal for a Registered professional to charge below fees set by the Regulatory body.The professional offering such services and the client can be arrested if the Regulatory body is notified of such practice.

I don't know whether to call this a dream or vision.

Hmm like seriously, when I did a decking of 210 sqm for #3million
Structural detailing would always be a key determinant for duplexes.Thats why it's not advisable to compare the cost of one building against another.
