dongc: It MAY not be a good idea to put up the balance to finish the work. This MAY be a classical artisan trap. Twinskenny said that the contractor said they should be paid the balance arguably to fix a piece of broken equipment to complete the work. Why can't they fix the equipment with the advance payment or from reserve (saved) funds?. This fit be artisan story. The client also said that the contractor demobilized from the site as a result of a broken piece of equipment. This fit be another artisan story. One of the golden rules of the trade is: if you paid an artisan more than 90% of the fee charged and they come back for the 5% balance BEFORE they can complete the job, alarm bells should start ringing. This is a symptom (sign) of under-quoting. At this stage, the project is already frustrated. Throwing in more money without proper investigation as to the circumstances for the further demand may just be throwing good more after bad. The dynamics of the borehole trade is this: Borehole drillers (just like oil prospectors) have CAPACITY. So a borehole driller may have a capacity (for example) to drill up to 2meters, or 3mtrs or 100mtrs as the case may be. If you engaged a borehole driller with a capacity (for example) of 5 meters and they drilled at your site to their maximum capacity of 5 meters without hitting water, story don start. Na their way. This is because they quote blindly for jobs without a geological survey to determine the depth of the aquifer at the site. They just assume. Clients also just blindly believe. So the client and twinskenny should first get hold of the contractor (they said they are in hiding), sit them down to properly investigate the circumstances surrounding their demobilizing from site BEFORE further payment if satisfied that the issue is truly a broken piece of equipment and not a case of under-quoting. They need to establish what equipment was broken, how much to fix it (what if it needs way more than the balance to fix it?). They should be careful not to fall into this trap. Story plenty with artisans. Engage all artisans with your eyes wide open. 5 Likes |

jabolo:what you see there exceed 50,000/meter as at today. That design is very very expensive. That prefab design can go as high as 30,000, then you buy other accessories like pipe and other designs involved. Your profits involved too. If anyone gives you that for 40,000 and you have the cash and sure he can deliver, pay him but make sure you are always at his workshop until it's delivered to you 2 Likes |

ollykay619: The type of foundation, location, soil type and size of building will determine. Anyhow just budget at least 6000 blocks and additional 500 bags of cement, 2 trips of 30tons stone chippings ( German floor, lintel and the colums). Sharp sand and some iron rod. Keep #1M for all labor until they ask for more. Roofing might be up to #2-3m depending on the type 1 Like 1 Share |

dongc:thank you sir I really appreciate you and every other person that have contributed so far, the body language of the guy has already given him away.. even if we sent him the 50k he won’t still do it cause that won’t be enough for him to hire a new machine or pay the people that he will hire… the mistake has been made by allowing him to move his equipment out of the site…. I believe we will sort it hopeful before next weekend. 2 Likes |
