PAPAFEELERS:
Dear Bosses in the house I need some heads up on what’s you understand between Half Casing & Full Casing in Borehole.

I met a fellow landlord in the area I was building and he told me why go for FULL casing that the half casing is also good based on interactions he has had with geologists.

He said the rocks drilled cannot collapse but the sedimentary and sandy part will collapse hence the half casing will take care of this part hence one does not need to case the hard rock sections.

He also said some of this drillers can be tricky as they would know when the rock is struck and will use half casing and tell the client that its full casing they did for the client because the client had already paid for full casing. In this case the client loses because he paid for full casing but was given half casing.

Please what’s your thoughts on full casing and half casing in terms of advantages & disadvantages?

I greet you all sir/ma.

CC: N3xt, Rotech,Spyder, abdulwastexx, Egunmogaji, Hajji the Don, plus all the experienced men and women in the house. Please your contributions is highly needed.

I beg to defer to the Pro Max

If only I had met you at the begining, the headache and money spent will have been saved. - nannymcph ee

Hi Bros, thanks for the comments on my house design. Please how can I contribute my quota to this great forum? - GG2002

Thanks. I love what you did. That way I won’t need to change the footprint of the house. I don’t like roof gutter. I’ll sure tell the architect to work with this. I didnt like his initial sketch and he forbade me from sharing.
KoboCity is the bomb.
Thanks so much. God bless you. - Judy

Plaster Sand Supply | Supplied

Thanks. [/s]

MORNING ALL - I'm reading a few post from n3xt/brabus and few others - and I feel (without disrespect) a lot of CONTRACTORS don't have adequate knowledge about how contracts are run - IF you've worked with the biggest consultants in the industry you would understand what I'm about to type.

AGAIN WITHOUT DISRESPECT....

1. Even if the client allows you to buy and install whatever (door, showers, even BULB as simple as that is) - An experienced contractor/builder/consultant should know that there is something called CLIENT'S APPROVAL. This means, before I pay for THAT N500 bulb, I need a written approval within 7 days (or official email) confirming that the product is OK. This MUST be gotten before payment - and once delivered IF client's wife (or whoever) don't like it - you just bring out the approval and all related cost (return, re-purchasing, logistic etc) is 100% on them. NOTE, A VERBAL APPROVAL IS NO APPROVAL IF NOT PUT IN WRITING WITHIN 7 DAYS; so Oga was at the store with me and he said BUY IT is not an approval...... that's what a lot of you hold on to.

2. IF Mr A contracts me to build his DOG'S HOUSE and along the line, I'm unable to complete the work - BECAUSE OF UNFORSEEN events, as a contractor - you do NOT assume, since its not your fault that his work was abandoned you do not owe him... SIR, YOU OWE HIM - The deal was to build a dog house, not an in-complete dog house (even if it was client's wife that stopped the work because she suddenly hates dog and want's a cat). WHAT A SINCERE CONTRACTOR should do is.... PRESENT A FINAL ACCOUNT. Stating clearly HOW MUCH WAS GOTTEN, HOW MUCH WAS SPENT AND HOW MUCH WAS LOST AS A RESULT OF DE-MOBILIZING FROM SITE - then agree with the client on who owes who.... NOTE: Even if the client was owing you at the time the decision was made; you DON'T assume because I lost, no need - YOU DO WHAT PROFESSIONALS DO - A final account, it is then you can hold you heads high and say - I DO NOT OWE YOU.

I'LL STOP HERE FOR NOW - MAYBE I'LL WRITE A FEW ARTICLES ON (real life) CASE STUDIES FROM VARIOUS SITE....

WE SHOULD BE HERE TO LEARN AND TEACH EACH OTHER BUT A LOT OF CONTRACTORS HERE ARE JUST HERE FOR THE CLIENT AND PAY....

FINALLY; I'M A CONTRACTOR TOO.... but relationship over money I preach.

GOODLUCK, I SaydFact

I agree with you.
Accountability must come from the contractors.
Documentation is very very important.
Assumption is dangerous
You're not in your client's head, so don't assume for them, you can advise/educate them but let them decide.

In this world of social media, documentation and approval soughting is now easy.

A simple voice note or chat from them is enough to tender as evidence of approval.
Even sms can act as one too as long as it can be established that it came from the client.

Thanks... Attached is a Whatsapp group opened for a project, I'm not the contractor but the guarantor here.... See attached.

I made sure all products were approved by the client... I can't be paying money, I shdnt be paying later...

Even thou client preferred option were not available, he settled for another.. Written approval gotten.

I don't know if you read my two previous comments prior to the comment you reply. We all have different temperament and different ways of doing things. However, if I am about to commit my hard earn money (which of course may be chicken change to some people) into someone hand and someone pop up from no where and accused the person of committing fraud against him/her and I waited 24hrs for the person to come and denied or offer an explanation and the person show up and failed to deny or offer coherent explanation and in the same orbit another trusted person was been accused of failure to deliver and that person show up and failed to allayed people's concern, Please forgive me if I blew my gasket.

In another news; given the subsequent 24hrs explanation from Next and many people vouching for the integrity of Skimanski, I have decided not to forgo this forum. Why I am no longer proceeding with next on the project at this time, I have engaged Adedward for my window fabrication
Thanks

You’re very right though but may I ask that at what point do you think it’s right for the contractor to assume the contract has been officially terminated?

And on what ground?

- inability or failure to fulfill the contract
- unforeseeable circumstance beyond the control and without the fault or negligence of the contractor.
- the client lost interest.

Thanks for your observations and comments. I do appreciate it all.

We are learning everyday.

Just for learning purpose.

Here’s an excerpt from a NextHome contract document. This has nothing to do with the matter at hand but just for those who wish to learn.

@saydfact

A sincere contractor don’t wait till there’s problem before doing the right things. They do it right from the signing of the contract.

That’s what we do!

It depends on the type of goods.

it's going to be 1000 gallons up and 500 down. I don't work with anything pipe. I want to work and be able to sleep without worrying about its durability. If you are concerned about costs, you can always use 4¾" H channel.

Thanks
