Please do not do any business with hsl-broker. He's a fraud and scammer. Took #3m of my money to deliver various building materials for me. It's almost a month now and nothing has been delivered. One excuse after another. Told me his father passed away. I gave him time to mourn his dad. Even why preparing for the burial, I begged him to have the materials ready that my contractor would pick them up. Just tell us where they are. He refused. If he had a legit business, he could have called his distributors and have them get the materials ready for us to pick them up without him being there. He said nothing can be done in his absence. I never thought I would experience this on nairaland. Deliver my materials is an issue, refund my money is an issue too. Roofing woodwork was done, but no roofing sheets. Now the rain has washed off the anti-termite treatment.
... WoW... shocked shocked shocked... You sent 3M to someone you met online... In "Nigeria".... Just wow.

Well go to his bank and lay a complain. His accounts will be frozen and he will be smoked out of his hole.

Just Paddy with the bank Manager. Na only him fit settle una matter laslas.

Ensure he has a good account balance worth blocking.

it's a storey building. Finished. The problem is occurring in the room
Pics 1 is the bathroom directly opposite the master bedroom on the right side of the picture

Pics 2 is the master bedroom where the problem am facing.

Pics 3 is upstairs close to the roofing.

I think this may be a case of internal leakage resulting in condensation. A pipe(s) must be leaking internally. There is a source of water that is causing the condensation. Find the source (s). Heat cause the (green) algae to grow on the wall.

Get a plumber to trace the leakage. Start from the bathroom.

In that case, check the roof. The problem is very recognisable - water is getting in-between the walls. Did you use hollow blocks? This is one big disadvantage of hollow blocks. If there is a roof leakage at any point close to the level blocks, with hollow blocks, water just flow into the hollow of the block causing damp walls like you are now experiencing. But with solid blocks, the water pour directly on the walls and you see it.

This you need to know: water is getting into the walls; it may be rain water or pipes leakage. So in this instant, start from the roof. Get a roofer to certify the roof is not leaking then get a plumber

Just re-read what, you just wrote and re-evaluate the context. If I have a project that I want to contract out and ask for a quotation from 10 people. am I going to pay a token to all 10 of them?ALl established contractors have throughout the years developped a standard mechanism to evaluate cost at almost no cost.

@Muyiwaolu
I tire for our people oh. Can you imagine someone asking me to pay him first before I even consider giving him business. It is only in Nigeria that contractor's think they are doing you a favour by giving you BoQ or quotation. I remember the last time I went to USA, we went to a store called Costco, they were giving us free samples of different foods to taste just to entice customers to buy their products.And truly, we bought two products after eating the "tasty sample".
Now tell me, you are claiming that I need to pay you to promote your work. Do customers pay for advertisements? It is a different thing if you now add the cost of giving quotations to your labour after you must have gotten the contract. Please, our people need to change their approach to doing business. If you provide excellent service to your customer, they will pay your labour and even some extra as gratuity.
This is how you know the fraud from the real ones. we have them everywhere even on here if you hear some of the names we have been reminiscing since last night, about sinking houses and fallen fences, the guys involve where people who are not Engineers but pretend to be then when the job became way too technical they could not deliver and the rest was history.

The issue is that here in Nigeria we do mixed things up and average Nigerian believed we are smart.
This is it if you contacted a Qus to prepared BOQ for you he or she have every write to demand for payment bcs that is profession in build industry.

But if a contract ask for payment for quotation it’s not proper,
but those that ask for such have reasons bcs some clients knows that they will go for DIY System which is allow but they just want to get those quotes to use as yard stick for bargain power with labour / mkt price of materials.
So when you know this is Reason why you needed the quotation why can’t you pay.
Consider the person needs to spent time, money before he can get the quotation ready.why can’t we just give token the person.
it’s because we believed that we are smart here in Nigeria which is a very bad attitude, we all needs to amends the way we do things so that things we goes well with us.

I agree, and this is a fact, this happens in everyday life, this is the reason you go into up to 10 shops to buy red jeans in forestry rd benin back in the days lol.No for the first bit a Qus preparing a BQQ is way different cos he is not only going to use his time, but he is also going to prepare a full document which might even involve more people. But if I am giving you an E-copy of my roof plan and you are telling me to pay you B4 you will give me a quotation then we got a problem!.even labour is done this way, I'm sure at the site you bargain too.In my line of trade, if I give a person heads up on what they need to do DIY and it comes to pass, I'm quite happy cos it bears no cost to me. If we check I am a beneficiary of this concept, I have asked for cost around PH to use as a bargaining margin to my build but as you must know, this did not reduce the volume of jobs the advice-givers had within the involved periods as we speak, In all, if the quotation is going to cost you money then fine by all means charge, if not just give it with the hope your good and honest work wins you the contract.
