TIPS ON CHOOSING A PROFESSIONAL LAND SURVEYOR IN NIGERIA.

A Professional Land Surveyor renders a highly technical service in compliance with applicable laws, regulations, codes and court decisions set forth by the Surveyors Council of Nigeria (SURCON).

Because of the special skills and complexities involved in surveying land, the government of Nigeria via its various agencies limits the practice to only those surveyors duly registered by the Surveyors Council of Nigeria (SURCON).

In order to protect the public from inferior land surveying, there are Minimum Standards for all types of Land Surveys. These standards describe recommended procedures for a survey and the minimum information to be provided to the client.

In choosing a Land Surveyor please follow these TIPS!

Consider the qualifications of a Professional Land Surveyor. He is supposed to display his Registration Certificate in his office, please look out for it. Ensure that the Surveyor will be capable of meeting the requirements of the proposed survey.

In selecting a professional Land Surveyor check to make sure that on the plans he submits to you are his name, SURCON registration number, address, current date, live signature and seal. There is no reasonable reason that can be given for there to be any change. 

Insist on doing business in his office. This way you know where to find him should you need him again in future. When in doubt or not satisfied contact the Surveyors Council of Nigeria or Nigerian Institution of Surveyors.

Remember, the survey plan of your property is one of the most important documents you will need regarding your property. It shows and confirms your ownership over the land. Make sure that its made to the highest standards.

Remember It Pays To Use A Professional & Qualified Land Surveyor. It’s in your Best Interest.

How To Practically Calculate The Quantity (m2) Of Roofing Sheet Required

I've been wanting to do this topic but couldn't come up with the easiest way to teach it; while it is possible to measure the quantities of roofing sheets needed for your project even before you set the first block using the Architectural drawings; it requires a lot of experience especially in trigonometry and site visualization. I have however found an easy way around it; as would be discussed below. I have carefully designed and attached a roof plan for this purpose, (feel free to use should it fit your building design... lol) Calculating the quantity of roofing sheet needed is done is meter square (m2), same parameters used for selling and purchasing roofing sheets hence we would expect to use the AREA FORMULAS (i.e Area formulas for Rectangle / Square, Triangle, Trapezium and Rhombus), sounds easy right? Yes it is!!! The most difficult aspect of calculating Area of Roofing is FINDING THE TRUE LENGTH (Technical Drawing students should understand this)

How To Calculate Quantity & Cost of Asbestors or PVC Ceiling Needed 4 your project

Good-Day, I'll be taking us on calculating the quantity and approximate cost of Asbestos ceiling sheet and PVC ceiling for a mini-flat (I have attached a plan for this purpose) and as usual our measurement would be done using the standard millimeter (mm) mode of measuring. Note: If you're not familiar with the millimeters / meters tape, then find time to learn it or request for a tutorial in the comment box.

How To Calculate How Many Blocks You Need To Complete Your Bungalow

Good Day All.... Often times I get people asking me this question "HOW MANY BLOCKS WOULD I NEED TO COMPLETE THIS BUILDING" immediately after handing their design to them; I do not think it's bad to plan and budget but I always encourage they start and not let the fear of the unknown kill the dream. Today, I would be breaking it down so you can actually calculate this quantities yourself...... but, we need a plan to work with (I have attached a simple plan & elevation for this purpose).
