How much refund are we looking at sir? And what constitute that figure maybe you can share so that people can understand why my head is tuning on its own.

Is it the figure in the review 1 or review 2 or review 3 or my own figure?

somehow:


The last valuation remains the official valuation upon which I want my refund. the laughable "valuation" you sent in after I sent the ball back into your court can't even fly before you and I know you sent such just to buy more time then.

n3xt:


Oh... I guess the QS didn’t inform you that I found some other holes in the last valuation and he agreed to do another review before you came in and said the approach is no longer working since I’m debunking fictitious claims.

Please kindly reconfirm this from the QS sir.

The holes I found were undisputed errors in the biased valuation report hence the reason for long and endless reviews.
Otherwise, there won’t be need for reviews if the first valuation was fair and credible.

Nobody need my presence to do what’s fair and just.

somehow:


I didn't give you any figure, so stop playing around.

What is the meaning of review 1 or 2 or 3? why do we need review 3 if you already accepted review 1 or 2?
So why ask which refund when you have the last official review?

You were given room to come evaluate the job you did and come up with your own personal valuation the same day of termination. You failed to show up nor sent anyone.

The QS @ QSfemi who happens to have picked your own quotation when 3 bids were tendered for the project came and did his valuation.

I don't want to list the manner in which you kept insulting him while the valuation was ongoing. none of his valuations got accepted by you, you kept picking holes but never came up with yours for 1 month plus (Is this what someone who truly wanted this sorted reasonably does?)

The last valuation remains the official valuation upon which I want my refund. the laughable "valuation" you sent in after I sent the ball back into your court can't even fly before you and I know you sent such just to buy more time then.

I paid you ahead of time just for you to make sure you buy all the materials needed to complete the job, so you have no right to complain about the current prices we completed the jobs you failed to do after giving almost 5 extra months.

Enough said. You have my verdict and warnings already, whatever you do with them is left to you.

At this point, I've a duty to set some records straight and establish the facts of the Trillion Park Building project belonging to my client, known here as Somehow.

There's an undeniable fact that there's already an ongoing dispute between the project owner and the contractor who happens to be a known member of this noble thread - @N3xt.

As a Professional Quantity Surveyor, I owe a duty of care to my client, the project and the contractor and I've sworn an oath to discharge my quantity surveying duties to the best of my knowledge and competence without fear or favour. That has always been my mantra and I've lived up to this expectations as best as I could. This is evident considering the myriads of clients that have patronised my services here on this thread, many of whom, I did not even know in person.
Most of the clients I have worked for here can attest to my competence, sincerity and most importantly integrity.

For the record, I recommended Next Home and Builders, the company name of N3xt for the award of the contract anonymously after I have reviewed three quotations at my disposal. I made the recommendation without knowing any of the contractors because it was the client that sourced for them. It was after the contract has been awarded to Messrs Next Home and Builders that I get to know the personality behind the name. That means that there wasn't any bias from my end towards the award. For the record again, the tender sum of the contractor that won the award was not the lowest among the three. For those following my professional writings here, I've emphasized times without number that projects are awarded to the least responsive bid. The project was awarded to the contractor at his own tender price.

The scope of work for the contract entails the construction of the carcass of the building including the roofing. The contract was meant to run for just two months commencing from March to April.

In September 24th, I recommended the termination of Next Homes and Builders contract after the project has been overrun by 5 months and there wasn't any real action being shown towards the completion of the contract by the said contractor. After the termination, the contractor was asked to prepare and submit a handover notes and present himself on site for assessment of work done and undone in order to have a financial reconciliation. The contractor failed not only in submitting a handover note but also in presenting himself on the 28th of September which was the date I eventually visited the site for the first time. It should be on record too that the contractor failed to even send a representative.

As it stands now, there's dispute on the contract as to how much is due for refund. I've presented my client's refund amount due to the contractor which has been contested on several occasions with some reviews even done to accommodate some of his logical submissions.

Professionally, in dispute resolution, the following four methods can be applied, viz.,

1). Mediation
2) Conciliation
3) Arbitration
4) Litigation

From all indications, the contractor wants the client to go to any length that he cares even to the point of litigation because there's no iota of commitment on his part towards resolving the issue.

I have advised prior to now that an independent registered Quantity Surveyor be engaged to establish the amount due for refund but no serious action has been taken to effect that.

@N3xt, I put it to you here that you do not want to go the way of Arbitration, which take a considerably lesser time, to adjudge the matter at hand. In your own interest, I will advise you here to seek alternative means of dispute resolution to have an amicable solution.

Cheers.

QSFemi:
Thank you for your question.

"Least responsive bid" means the amount in the tender that can actually execute the project.

A lot of contractors due to desperation for jobs and of lack of jobs would deliberately "lower" the actual cost of construction of a project in order to "lure" the client in. They believe that once the clients are committed financially that it would be difficult not to accede to their subsequent undue claims for more money which will definitely arise during the course of the project.

michlins:
no sir. Casting of the base is part of your fence building. However he's supposed to bring anchorage which will firmly hold the gate in place

n3xt:


Just as answered above.

You paid for gate fabrication/construction and not gate installation unless you both agreed his cost includes installation of the gate.

Installation of gates involves many other tradesmen which includes but not limited to carpenters, concreters, diggers, electrician etc.

folmus:


You have answered yourself from your post. You told him to construct. If installation is not part of your discussions at the beginning, you are responsible for mounting your gate and its parts. Yes, your welder can be there during the installation to be sure they put the parts together appropriately.
