"artisans don't know what a QS is"

My brother i have been seeing your comments on this QS issue & i must say i m very surprised to say the least!!! You think some artisans know architect? They call everyone one on site an engineer. Every practicing architect needs a QS, even if they quote projects themselves, they all still need a QS to go through it. I am an architect, all the senior architects i have worked with all have QS rendering part time or full time services to vet their estimates. Once a building is above one floor, QS is important. I was surprised when u said there is no QS in your firm.

I will never estimate anything more than a bungalow for a firm, unless it is my personal contract. Because if anything go awry, as an architect i can't defend it. Just the same way i won't do structural drawing for a firm.

I must tell u d truth sir, QS are very important for major projects.

bixton:
I think you're getting it mixed up.
Standard-------- something above average, acceptable generally, of right quality,etc,etc.

A room is standard when it is 3.6X3.6m.
Anything short of that is not.

Hope you get my drift now.

I got your drift very well
It shouldn't be less than d benchmark, that is my point.

bixton:
Height of what exactly?
The only thing standard in building construction is using the right tools, materials, right and appropriate mix(es).

Height of whatever u are constructing
d bold informed my question, there is no such thing as only thing standard in construction!!!! Everything should be standard, even if all professionals don't practice it, d least we can do is to preach it.

bixton:
There are doors above the height of the 9 block course standard.
The only thing standard in building construction is using the right tools, materials, right and appropriate mix(es). Every other thing is based on its structural viability, how it appeals to the eyes upon finishing and how it gives comfort to both infants and the aged when in use.

What about height?

raymondFirstborn:
it all depends on how high the wall would be, based on the design .Building wall= 3m block height =0.225mm. block =3/0.225=13.33coaches from german floor to roof.

cc skimanski
@ bold u can even see a QS subconsiously alluding to standards in explaining his views, these measurement were infused in us at the basics & they will certainly dominate most decisions we reach, except on few exceptional cases. Certain things will always be rampant in architecture no matter how creative we try to be.

skimanski:
Standard? This is beyond 200 level now. and note I was never taught that 9coach was a standard for window. What I was taught was that standard for doors are 9 coach. so its nice to make the lintel be on same level as the door. Now Regarding the Bolded, I do not agree with you that its not about cost, or ventilation, or Aesthetics but about standard. The only standard is what you want for your house.

@ First bold What is the height from your oversite concrete to window sill u were taught in 100 & 200 level? Use metric, seems this coach thing is confusing.
@Second bold After all the anthropometrics, all the jury u pass through & that pass through u, from Bsc to Msc, u bold make such statement! Haba bros.
Are u saying u will consent to a door height of less than 2.1m, for a residential building because that is what the client want for himself? There wouldn't have been need for anthropometrics, structures & foundation types in architecture going by d second bold.

raymondFirstborn:
less expensive.That extra one coach alone multiplied by the girth of a building with plenty walls can amount to increase in cost.Imagine a building with 100m girth (perimeter) 0.225mm high =225blocks@10blocks/sqm

Thought as much, u newly join nairaland. Because d thing just dey shark u for body, your comments just full everywhere

skimanski:
Why do a lot of people stick to 9coach of block as Lintel Level?

Its less Light,
Its aesthetically not too pleasing,
Its not significantly less expensive.

Please if Anybody has any reason why its better please inform so as to guide our Judgement in the future.

Thought u studied architecture?
We know everything in architecture is subject to personal creativity. But what standard measurement were u using for residential building height during your 200 & 300 level? That should explain d widespread use of 9coach for lintel. It is really not about cost or ventilation, but standard that was used to train many architects at the basics.

Saintsammurai:

@bold impressive!!!
You shouldn't be searching for job with such years of experience
Are u ARCON registered?
Also an architect

univasal:
Thanks@Snakebeat,do you have more suggestions to restore our lost value?

There should be a serious regulatory policy on the practice of architecture in Nigeria to be enforced by ARCON to purge the system, because the profession seems to becoming that of everyone, when we have few just few registered architects in Nigeria.

Losing is an understatement
Architecture has lost its value
The profession is now so saturated. Sometimes i wonder of what use is ARCON & NIA

EgunMogaji:
What about cocoa?

Don't know much abt cocoa sha

But virtually anything green attracts snakes
My neighbour saw one in his bedroom lastweek, how e take reach there nobody know. But they have plenty of plants in their compound. The man don clear everything after the incident

EgunMogaji:
Mr. Skimanski, you're being modest here Sir. We all know here that you've unleashed the Nigerian architecture out of her bounds.

There are as such as snake retardation plants.

I seriously doubt all these snake retardation plants ooo
The one i had in my former compound didn't stop snakes, they were still coming.
