The Projects Maestro

Engaging a Quantity Surveyor on your project could save your life...and your project, too.

In this video, I break down a couple of reasons why engaging a Quantity Surveyor on your project could be a life saver.

And I speak based on my 20 years experience in the construction industry, where I have some experience.

This is the final clip of the video that I did addressing the reasons why project clients shouldn't engage contractors directly on their projects.

In this clip, I give a real-life example of a project client that ran into trouble with an unscrupulous contractor and the client had to engage a friend and professional colleague of mine to help rescue the situation.

Some project clients want to play seemingly smart and save some money by deciding to deal directly with contractors and sideline or phase out consultants.

This singular decision has proved to be the downfall of many project clients because it almost always comes back to haunt them.

In this video, I share a couple of reasons why engaging contractors directly is a bad idea for you and other project clients.

In fact, it may become your worst nightmare!

As they say, to be forwarded is to be forearmed!

I have seen many clients make numerous mistakes in the process of carrying out their construction projects.

Some of these mistakes have proved very costly to these clients...some of them amounting to the tune of an additional N500 million added to their project cost....yes...you heard/saw that right!

I did this video to outline those mistakes and how you can avoid them.

DO you know that some Contractors could Double your project costs if you engage them on your projects?

Are you aware that that project of yours currently worth N50 million could become N100 million if you're not careful, due to the antics of some contractors?

You need to beware of the antics of these unscrupulous contractors who stylishly inflate contract costs through unnecessary variations and fluctuations.

How do such contractors do this?

You need to be careful so that these contractors won't take advantage of you and strip you off your hard-earned money.

I break it all down in this video.
