By the way, which way am I when we did all we achieved on the project within 8 weeks (March 15 to May 9) of intense activity on site?


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BoQaolO79Dg

Those period, there was no fraud attempt, no packaging stories, no fund diversion attempt, no probe, no noise... in fact no one knew who owns the project They were even sending us invite to visit the site. We were focused on one thing - delivering the project within budget and stipulated timeframe.
I think these should call for a sober reflection. What truly went wrong? Where?

Now that everyone knew... how far have we gone?

That’s why I shared that my 12 weeks on the project is far more productive than the 10 months of online bickering without a resolve but I think as you said you’re achieving your goal. I guess you shifted the goal post already.

We did what we were paid to do until...

EgunMogaji2:


Will do, thanks for the consideration.

MMotimo:
This one is for the newbies and anyone that is yet to figure this out:

The fix is in!
You get defrauded and after trying to get your money back offline, you bring the matter here. After all the back and forth talking, the fraudster would be advised to pay what he can, never mind how much he actually owes to the victim. As can be seen above, #2m is being “negotiated” to #1m and several posters have presented this “#1m solution “ over the last couple of months. They would say half bread is better than none. People will tell you to manage it and cut your losses never mind the severe loss to inflation since you first gave money to the fraudster nor the emotional trauma. Dem go say “ Whether it would be acceptable as final settlement should not be the issue now. We are all humans.”

Frankly, it pays to be a fraudster here because even at the worst case scenario, it is VERY unlikely that you would ever have to pay what you owe in full. Heck! This is the perfect scam to “borrow” money at no interest and pay back less than you “borrowed.” So, what exactly is the deterrent for fraudulent behaviour? Not much, especially if you don’t do it all the time like N3xt. If they are just engaging in untoward behaviour once or twice a year, they may be able to stay under the radar so spend quality time on research. That they post often does not mean they are legit.

The first thing is to always search the name of the contractor and also search with the words “fraud” “scammer” “scam” “fraudster “ etc with the username. You may decide to gamble still go ahead after finding troubling results but you can be almost certain that you will never recover the full amount if things go south and on top of ponying up extra money to fix the fraudster’s scam, you may spend even more money trying to recover that “half bread.”

Its OK...
Next time you are fabricating "evidences" and lies and stories, don't rush..Take time to dot your i's and cross the t's .
You know it can be hard to keep track of all the lies and stories sometimes.

It can become too much and overwhelming tracking the lies from day to day and you can become sloppy.

What area ? Area and quality of people is key for me

Oshodi might be 500k people par day .Wont be what I need . Will reach out by mail later

I’d normally use textured fibre cement facade panel for jobs like this but since yours is finished wall, a decorative painting job would be your best option.

n3xt:


Well done. Wishing you good success.

Do you mind sharing the size of the house? I saw 12 pcs of 1” x 12” x 18” fascia boards.

__________
Edit:

Found the size, it’s a very small footprint. The qty would be enough.

I actually do not intend to do this but for learning purpose let me share the client’s proposal and see the professional who can achieve a duplex and 4 units of 3 bed flats with 2 separate entrances and ample parking space on the land in question and still get approval from Lagos state for such development.

I knew we walked this route sometimes ago and no one was able to win my 100k offer for whoever can come up with such design.

________
Pic 1: The survey
Pic 2: Email informing the client his proposal cannot fit into the land
Pic 3: Drawing done and hard copies delivered to the client.

After doing all these, are you still going to refund monies paid for delivering this type of job because the client said he can’t get approval with it?

As a professional, kindly help me understand what you’d do different here. I want to learn from you.

Thanks,

Best regards.

redgem:


Amen... Thank you

Jasobry:


Please can you upload what you have?

The price is not moderate.

Each board 0.6m² (200mm x 3000mm) cost between N3400 - 3600 (factory price as at Nov 2021).
You’d also require lightgauge steel profiles, studs and other accessories.

You might end up spending between up to 15,000 per m² to achieve a very clean finish.

I agree completely with your submission.

We’re working in a jankara environment where anything goes and every effort you make trying to steer people towards doing the right thing is met with stiff resistance.

Would I build a similar house on such lot? No! I don’t have to be out of the country to know that. I know how important an adequate setback is to improving air quality. It’s just common sense!

However, we live in a country where people buy half plot and use the same plot to develop 10 units of 2 bedroom flats.

My job is to advice the client on what works and what won’t even fly which was exactly what we did - scale down to a duplex and 2 mini flats after he picked up additional plot (attached survey) to make the land a little bigger.

Haha, this is abeokuta and most people are civil servants, go to work in the morning and come back to their various houses in the evening.

The prime property is on the main road to one of the top 10 Universities in Nigeria (1min drive to the school gate), hottest cake.

Quality of people: Students that can buy anything since they're dependent

ANOTHER testimony from another client of our fraudster builder .

WHERE HE COLLABORATED WITH A FAMILY MEMBER TO DEFRAUD THE CLIENT. (client's own admission)
amongst all the other usual fraudulent activities...

BEWARE BEWARE

Seems your same person as brabus? Your association with a known thief paints you as a thief too.

erico2k2:

I remember this one clearly.I was here.

EgunMogaji2:


If I may. As a first timer, the best approach I learnt, for me, is to attach to a decent artisan. You'll learn the ropes, he'll chop small, but take it as a learning lesson.

You can walk into any off the aluminium places and submit your cut calculations but you need to know what's up.

redgem:


Are you mad?
