Someone who didn't do all the works YOU personally requested me to list and I itemised?
Someone who lied that i 'begged' four professionals here for a free architectural drawing without any proof to back up his claim?

Go back and read that my concluding post. But this time read it slowly without emotions.

What that means is that since he is satisfied with the offline advice he has gotten. He should be ready to bear the consequences in the future ( sure, references would be made regarding this matter ) because the issue is not resolved here as far as the evidence presented is concerned.

This is the sad truth, if you decide you want to pay them in bits, they might claim majority of the funds is for materials. I’m currently chasing the guy that is supposed to do my HDF doors after paying 70% advance. Everyday it’s a different story.

[/b]From my little experience, procure your materials yourself(if you can) and just pay labor as work is delivered.[b]

Don’t be afraid to enter market and price materials.


@the bolded, that's the plain truth, but na chance matter atimes.
And the artisans can beat you on this game. Waste ur material with pride.

What do you have to say about the poor job rotech did ?
That alone is a big issue.
And it has nothing to do with the client.
He had the option of not doing the job.
But he did a poor job. No defence.

2. Why will he take payment for basin and not bring it for 3 good months?

3. Why will he take part payment for doors, reply with with "work is on going" then come back after weeks with stories.

4 why will he take payment for door frames, and still tell his artisans to make use of existing frames that belongs to client, that is dubious. It has no two names
It is fucking dubious.


It's laughable that rotech claims he doesn't want to upload chats between him and his client, but finds it easy to be abusing his client's father.
That's hypocritical

day in day out, we keep putting blames, we keep investigating, we keep questioning victims
(I am also guilty of this)
When we should be holding professionals to high standards.
Construction companies should first and foremost be able to deliver on client's needs to almost perfection, if they can't, they shouldn't take the jobs.
They should be able to handle diverse set of clients.
You don't expect everybody to be a sheep
Integrity should never be lacking.

I have seen chats on Reddit where
For example contractor A ask for $5 for a product
And buyer is willing to pay $10 for it.
Contractor A will rather not take the money/job at all than take free money..

Our contractors here don't care about the jobs they are doing as much as the money.

He has shown that there is a difference of 5k in refund being (from basin 35k and doors 88k)
He has shown that the plastering was down with less cement
On the other hand
He has failed to present the quotation for contract
He has failed to present how much he agreed to pay for the contract
How much he has actually paid
How much is left, if any
And how much work is incomplete.

Right here sir.
We cannot conclude from just words of mouth.
There must be supporting evidence.
The only time words of mouth can be accepted is in a stituation when both parties agree on a certain fact. For instance, they both agree on the amount that was paid for the basin and doors. They also agree on the amount that was refunded albeit a difference of 5k.

physical job and materials are involved here, so circumstantial edivrnce is not really necessary in getting to the truth.

Did you also read the part where he gave express permission for rotech to post their chats

Rotech denied that there was even any talk about doors and there was nothing like doors in their discussion

Contractors shouldn’t take any and all jobs they run across. Don’t take jobs that you’re not capable of doing. Don’t take jobs that’s below your cost level. Don’t take jobs that are far flung from each other.

I sell lands though my case is a bit different because I’m already retired but I actually filter clients. If I sense that your wahala go be too much I’ll excuse myself. Protecting my finely crafted business name is number one priority.

Case in point.

A NairaLander (I still don’t even know who he is) bought two plots within hours of each other from me last year.

Earlier last month we discovered an existing grave on one of his plot. Before I even told him about it I worked on moving him to another better plot, paid for a new survey and new lawyers agreement. I know how much I lost but my business name must remain unblemished and my clients must remain completely satisfied because I rely heavily on referrals. Which is why I don’t know how people won’t resolve issues before it blows up online.

My business motto “Promises Made, Promises Kept”. It’s that simple.

We
I mean we
We
All of us. 99.9999 if us are bad
This is the one and only reason why Nigeria keeps failing.
We are bad as a people
And bad individually.
We are all bad and very bad
We are thieves
And me inclusive.
When I say we are all
I mean 99.999 of us.
Which means virtually all of us.

Yesterday I was in a discussion with some people and we talk on how a civil servant in osun state returned part of his salary to pay for the day he was absent from work(his child naming ceremony). When aregbe heard about him, he called the man to give him a political post, the man still declined the appointment, on the basis that he did what he was meant to do and nothing extra.

We all laughed and insulted this great Alfa.
This is how bad we are.

If not for stories.

As regards the ongoing issue, realistically speaking, somethings would eventually happen due to circumstance beyond our control.
I've had some few minor glitches, although not of my making but coming out openly with the client and genuinely making ammends even at much extra cost makes it a non issue.
Some of the things being dragged are some things some people are bigger than and shouldn't be allowed to get here. It's not good for business and it understandably casts doubts on the minds of others that may want to patronise other vendors.

All of sudden he came back now and said I did bad job which he didn’t mentioned since 2020 he now show one wall where vent pipe is and claimed I did bad job there.he started abusing me calling me name

It’s after he kept adding more to the job we agreed that make me to voice out that I can’t continue again.



Here is our chart as He REQUESTED for it that I should post it

He didn’t complain of any area that is not good then
Why now.
He didn’t pay me kobo from the 100k agreed for the supervision
He didn’t pay for additional money spent on plumbing

I even asked him to deduct the left over job when we can’t continue due to his action he said NO he will not pay me. I just laugh and leave him since then.

For the basin he asked me to kept it till when needed bcs renovation is still going on then when we are about to finished the job he asked me to bring it then termination of the Contatct come up and I can’t continue so he demanded for refund with door which I paid him back.

Now for him to pay my balance he refused and stated calling me names.

I didn't want to talk about this issue again but I need to talk now.
Firstly, the receipt you posted was already posted by me so it's a non-issue.
Secondly, why not post the chats from when we started chatting around June or July, so that nairalanders can see everything. Don't cut anything
Thirdly, the chats you sent were after i insisted you do remaining works and you declined
Fourthly, the chats were at the twilight of your work, after you said your door maker won't be able to do the doors.
Lastly, i only showed the badly done external wall because it's the worst of all. All others have been corrected by me. Infact, the plumbing aspect will be corrected tomorrow. And you didn't do any supervision

You are just exposing yourself the more. Nairalanders should have a look at the cost of workmanship he posted:
- No carpenter worked or visited the site
- I paid the welder (1k), although he wanted to but I insisted he shouldn't
- He charged 35k for the plumbing materials but in his previous posts, he was talking as if it WASN'T part of the work
- And lastly, he did no supervision AT ALL. It should even be a shame on you if you claim to supervise such a shoddy work

Would it not have been easier if you showed where rotech denied any of these claims as evident in the receipt and including where he denied collecting part parment for doors?
