Happy Sunday from every corner.
Happy to start work back middle of this week.

Katier00:
sometimes pictures are deceiving

Exactly!
U got the point

Katier00:
I laugh at the level of your stupidity. Superior argument my foot. So that man got bent like that within a year. Your moronic brain couldn't point to you, that it was a gradual process. I used to be 6ft tall and now I am 5ft 11 yet am not even 30 years of age. Oga facts and figure, stop displaying your foolishness on nairaland.

U said what?
I'm confused pls.
Not up to 30yrs and have dropped from 6 to 5_11?
Perhaps I don't think height of man reduces...that buhari n saraki's pix isn't right... buhari of 6-4 can't drop so fast like that can't even drop... One thing I know is that old age makes one shrink like head to reduce, body etc but not height.
At this I was confused when I saw this this morning so got a confirmation from a Dr.
Thanks.
Very view tho...no vex oo

Adeliebe:
���� you this guy sha

Sorry!

edo3:
Old again,, within a spate of a year?

Lol

Chekitaut:
Its 10% on Materials & Labour cost... any charges less is your power to bargain or sympathy from the Engineer.

Cool bro.
That's true.

Falabale44:
Well said Jare ...like @tkdrafter said that guy @TIMTOL is always talking nonsense

Anyways,we have freedom of speech so go ahead but pls check things out first.
I can't stop you from speaking.

Falabale44:
Well said Jare ...like @tkdrafter said that guy @TIMTOL is always talking nonsense

Lol
Thanks for this.
And actually the man replied to my question.
So what?
I'm not talking to you,I don't know your own.
I see hatred of the highest order on Nairaland here.
What rubbish!
It's not by force you talk if you aren't comfortable with someone.
I don't expect all men to appreciate or like me,sure that's life so?
Pls keep your track well sir.
Statement should be ignored.
It's a free world... if my words doesn't have meaning to you then be silent, it's not by force to reply cos I don't know your own.
I guess u Sha wanna type something that's why.
Good for you tho.
You Sha making me aggressive...chai nawa for you ooo

Rubbiish:
Una dream see me yesterday night?
If u have any query pls direct it to the op and give him your own suggestion. thank u

Yeah!
Like this.

Daboomb:
What kind of talk is this?

"To YOU" it is not expensive.
"To YOU" it is normal price.

When did "YOU" become a yardstick for judging what is normal or expensive or a benchmark?

and then you negated yourself by saying some charge more, some same or some less?
What exactly are you trying to say? If you have nothing to say about a question, you can just skip it.

If you want to benchmark price, you would use the price of contractors in that field, NOT YOUR PERSONAL FEELINGS.
I am sure you ended up confusing the @Op the more.

BTW: How much a Supervisor will charge will largely depend on the extent of the project.
A Bungalow Project's foundation to german floor, is not the same as that of a two stroey building Foundation to german floor.
Also, the nature of the soil of the place is a factor because foundation in a swamp is not the same as foundation in a highland / Red soil area.
Finally size of Project (land area covered by the foundation) is also a factor.

Despite all the above, the Supervisor is to stand around and make sure things are done properly. H is not the Builder naah?
200K maximum, irrespective of above factors, should be enough for supervision of blockwork to Lintel level.
100K for Block work (assuming 2weeks)
75K to 100Kmax for Lintel and Slab

Ok

Alkanelly:
i was charged 300k from foundation to german floor, now he wants to charge another 300k from the german floor to first floor slab. isn't that too much for the next phase of the building

If I get you well, u mean block work for ground floor and decking, right?

Alkanelly:
Hello Engineers and contractors,
please can someone tell me how much should an engineer/architect charge for supervising my building project. my engineer is asking for 300k to supervise from ground floor block setting to first floor slab (slab included). he charged me 300k from foundation to german floor which i think was even too much. please what's the best charge for the next phase in your honest opinion.

To me it's not expensive, it's normal price.
Some charge higher than that and some charge the same,others charge less.
Quality matters.
Negotiation matters as well.
God bless.

skimanski:
Brick Works for First Floor

Good work.
Is your 28days complete before you start block work on the decking if no how many days?

Amastermovic:
RIP Man.. what's the height of the ground floor and depth of beam

The client want a high room so Ground floor height is 3300mm FF 3300 PF 3000 second thought on roofing.
Depth of beam 450mm tho we aren't there yet.
300mm for roof beam.

we lost one of our workers due to sickness dahs irredeemable.
We gave our all & God knows best
We will be paying our last respect by not working for a week.

...

Peter4luv:
How much did you spend so far on the foundation

3m plus... exact figure soon.

bixton:
Wow, that's nice.
How much is a truck of the filling sand (laterite) over there?

We are very close to the railway station so we got it 8k but any place far from railway goes for 20k.

bixton:
When you say 5 Chinese truck, how much tonnage of sand does each truck hold and how many tyres is it?

10tyres

bixton:
Well done.
So how many bags of cement was used for the flooring?

Okay now the figure is out.
170bags for foundation excluding German floor.
161bags for German floor only.
Total: 331bags for foundation.

Babs612000:
wow!!! Many thanks.

Welcome

Babs612000:
please how many trucks do you used for filling and at what price per one.

5 Chinnese truck,with the excavated ones before rammer then after rammer a tipper of sharp sand to top before rammer again.
You can deduct your answer from there.
Thanks

Celebration... drinking and dining as we completed the foundation.
Millions gone.
Without German 170bags of cement used.
Cement used for German floor will be updated soon.
Project leader: Arc Tim (Timtol)
Contractor: Engr Vincent (HAJIVINCE)
Swelling stomach...lol
