I will not add and subtract from what this client and the contractor has told us.

Client said he paid #218k in total
He commissioned contractor to do the following
Procure doors worth #160
Plaster part of external walls
Repipe the whole house
Fix two windows
Remove old tiles from wall
Install basin
Do plumbing
Covert former kitchen to parlor
Fix frames for doors
Mount new doors
Do pluming testing
Do window dressing
Do door dressing
Plaster some part of internal wall

Insisted doors must be delivered first. Meaning out of the #218k , money for doors (#160k) must be spent first.

Therefore contractor would have a balance of #58k at hand for these extent of work.

Contractor applied a strategy that would’ve made it feasible by channeling limited and available fund to basic areas first. Along the line, client demanded refund for doors (88k).

Note-Business or trade strategy is secret, contractor was not under any obligation to revile his.

Conclud for yourself if the above listed work could be achieved with #130k which he agreed he paid for workmanship.

So why did contractor accept the job when he knew it was not worth it?
Anyone would have been thrown off guide with sudden demand for refund considering the whole context.

Ok, I want to bring a matter here as well, there is a certain Aluminium guy here, I will save his name for now, he has done a lot of work for me, I mean in the millions!
Roof - problems, executes, stories from start to finish.
Windows- we are still at corrections after 2 years! Inferior materials.
Bathroom doors - used inferior materials
NOW BATHROOM CUBICLES - PLS HELP US SETTLE THIS BECAUSE I KNOW HE WILL READ THIS, WE AGREED IN DECEMBER FOR HIM TO BUILD 3 CUBICLES, IN DECEMBER 2021!! THEY WERE NOT FIXED UNTIL MARCH ! ONE STORY AFTER THE OTHER, HOW THE CHINESE FACTORY WAS CLOSED,,,,,, NOW, I HAVE PAID 400k OF THE 440K AGREED. YESTERDAY HE TEXTED THAT THEY FINISHED AND I NEED TO PAY THE BALANCE, I SAID ONLY AFTER MY INSPECTION. UPON INSPECTION, I SENT HIM PICTURES OF THINGS THAT NEED TO BE CORRECTED BEFORE ANY PAYMENT. AND HE IS INSISTING THAT I NEED TO PAY HIM, HIS WORKERS ARE FAMILY MEN, (I DON’T KNOW WHAT I MA!)
HONESTLY, I HAVE GIVEN THIS GUY MORE CHANCES THAN HE DESERVES! I AM NOT PAYING A PENNY UNTIL ALL CORRECTIONS ARE COMPLETED!!

ARE MY WRONG?

rajput4real93:

You are just constituting a nuisance here. He has fed you with lies that he's known for. Just come serve as his witness during the court proceedings.

dapotemi:


Oga ADEDWARD, you're a known face here, please FIX this ASAP...

sonnie10:


What witness would be better than all the testimonies your have presented here before the public? Everything I have written up there came from your mouth. All.
We still have them here for verification.
I did not add and I did not subtract.

Kingdemu:
You've been saying such authoritatively for queit a while now. You always made it sound as if the next news we'll hear is that Brabus has been arrested or we'll see him come here begging for leniency. There was a time you counted down a week yet nothing. I'm sorry to say but I don't think you have the balls to get a refund from Brabus. He's more hardened in his game than you are in yours. For your sanity and peace of mind, consider that situation a learning phase. Forget about it and move on. At least, it has exposed Brabus the more (even though I must admit that he is one big encyclopedia for us newbies on this thread)

boss no probs jare, I was not arround and my installer has back to mainland, I ask him to send #20k to him, out of my money as am not there right now, so dat he can go and see what he complained for, someone dat left ur site without #1k transport money and and I ask him to come and correct something with no Kobo, ? U are there when he is doing it, u left site before he finish,

rajput4real93:

So, i said all you listed above? Ire o.

sonnie10:


The reason I wrote them line by line is so that you can easily point out the one you did not say.

Apart from the obvious inferences that resulted from gathering all you had said

rajput4real93:

Just free me please. Come say the rest in court

I don’t think we can call Adedward a hungry artisan. And he’s also on here too

We have an issue that we need to look into to fix this happenings.

My bathroom enclosure guy seems to be well learned in his industry. He sent his “boys” to do my job. I was practically begging him on WhatsApp not to send them alone and that I’ll even wait till he’s personally available. He said they can do it and they’ve done for the Sultan of Brunei (I’m joking). They came, they screwed it up as I suspected. He resolved the issue to my complete satisfaction 110% weeks later and in fact I’m asking him to do one more for me.

Contractors just need to do what they’re paid for.

Promises made, promises kept. Simple.

twinskenny:
Some of us need project management class

FEGEITOK:


I would recommend additional classes:

1. Customer Relationship Management class

2. Crisis Response Classes

3. Public Relations Classes

No matter the provocation, you never respond to a client with insults. It is so unprofessional.

If one is unwilling to be professional, subcontract the public facing aspect of the job, concentrate on the delivery/execution of contracts and financials

This matter wey you carry for your head is baffling.
Are you business associates with rotech or you are rotech with a second account?

Why do airlines kick out or even arrest unruly passengers? Are they not clients?

Abudu2000:
i ve said it times without numbers, take your bussiness away from nairaland. nairalanders are BAD for bussiness. the small money you will make is not worth your reputation. they are not even rich, poor broke ppl claiming to live in usa and uk. mtcheeew!

sonnie10:


Why do airlines kick out or even arrest unruly passengers? Are they not clients?

diordaves:


They call the law to respectfully escort the unruly passenger out of the plane as they constitute a danger to themselves and other passengers.

However, the airlines don't abuse the living daylight out of the passenger and they don't splash the personal accounts details and emails communication of the passenger all over the internet as is the case here.

KolaShangOne:


We can build for you. And we are not expensive at all.

1) If you have a plan already, you can post it or send it to my mail.
2) what is your taste? Do you want P.O.P or P.V.C.? Do u want 'German floor or not? Do you want to use parapet? Do u want stone coated tiles or Longspan? Fence? Talk to your

With my own plan of a not too elaborate building and finishing, it will cost you about 6 million.

sonnie10:

You keep saying he didn’t do supervision. Let me correct that impression. Supervision fee is just local parlance for professional fee. Other than monitoring and directing laborers, that fees also cover things like
Transportation to your site
Lunch while at the site
Phone calls
Mobilization of workers
Professional input
His pay or gain in the contract

So it is not just money you pay to have him monitor laborers.

bobkezel:

You are beginning to yarn trash.

bobkezel:

@rajput pls attend to the bolded.

WHY SHOULD HE

erico2k2:

guy leave the man alone, your money nor lost, you nor build, what's ur interest in this case, free the man joor him get case with Brabus and the other guy, Y drink panadol for another man headache

Focusmind:


Bro, I disagree

Egun has been consistent with one statement here: " When you decide to take a job, you owns that job". There is no need apportioning blame

If you send a worker to a site, it is your responsibility to take care of the worker and ensures he delivers based on your client's specifications.

Nobody would want to complete payment on a job that he is not satisfied with or has not met his expectations.

I come in peace
