Quantity surveyor in Kaduna
Cost documentation and independent verification across Kaduna State, including residential, estate and institutional projects delivered in phases.
Kaduna's building work is a mixture of individual houses, gated estates and institutional projects such as schools, clinics and religious buildings. The institutional work is where measurement matters most, because these projects are usually funded by a committee, a cooperative or a diaspora association rather than a single owner, and a committee has a particular problem: everyone is accountable, and nobody is measuring.
For that kind of client, a BOQ does two things at once. It allows fair competitive tender, so that the contract does not simply go to whoever is closest to the chairman, and it provides an audit trail for the members whose money is being spent.
Security and access considerations also affect how visits and deliveries are planned in parts of the state, and that has a cost consequence worth stating openly in an estimate rather than absorbing silently.
What a Kaduna project usually needs
- Bill of quantitiesMeasured from your drawings, priced for Kaduna, issued blank for tender or priced for budget control.
- Material scheduleStaged purchase list so materials are bought as work progresses rather than all at once.
- Cost estimateElemental cost plan using local rates with the date basis stated.
- Site visits and measured surveysAttendance for progress verification, defects, or measuring an existing building.
- Independent valuationWork done measured and valued before payment, including claim review.

Travel and scheduling
The practice is based at New Karu on the Abuja–Nasarawa corridor, behind the Government Science School. Sites in Kaduna are scheduled in regional blocks, with the journey planned so a single trip can cover more than one site where possible.
Travel is always quoted as a separate, visible line, never bundled into the fee. Where you have more than one project in the area, visits are grouped into a single trip and the saving is passed on.
Local considerations
Committee-funded projects
Cooperative, association and religious building projects need tendering and measurement that stand up to member scrutiny.
Phased estate delivery
Estate work benefits from consistent measurement across plots, so identical units are not paid for at different rates.
Access and logistics
In parts of the state, security and access affect how work is scheduled and delivered, which belongs in the estimate.
Questions from Kaduna clients
Can you help a cooperative or association tender a building project?
Yes. A BOQ issued blank for tender, plus a tender comparison when the returns come in, is the standard approach for committee-funded projects and gives members a defensible record.
Do you cover Zaria and southern Kaduna?
Yes, with travel quoted separately and visits grouped where practical.
Can you value work done on a project that has stalled?
Yes. That is one of the most common instructions we receive: establish what exists, what it is worth, and what remains, before anyone spends more money.
