I was awarded the project , I'm a graduate architect with few years of experience, so this is sort of like my first break into working independently

Ok, see this as part of learning and experience acquisition, there is no other better of getting experience if not by doing.


You can now carefully select your team from them putting into consideration their expertise in getting the job done and integrity.......put more effort in selecting those who are good at getting the job done and less effort on integrity as that can be easily change by strict measures......speaking from experience


I wish you well in your journey to career development and success

Thank you all for your candid advice, actually I'm a graduate architect and this is one of my big break with this contract from a friend who decided to reward me with my loyalty about few years ago when he was travelling to the UK..

I know I'm 22 and it can be annoying when people do this to you, I wouldn't like to develop a negaholic attitude to people who work for me at the same time I wouldn't encourage people stealing from me, this project is ongoing at Ibadan, and I'm half way complete with the project, I'm a crazy person and fierce ooo thought but my experiences over the years has made my behavioural realtionship with people on the low not to really show that side at all kus if I mad finish like this, I fit rake innocent people join.... There won't be time for any more smiling faces and restrictions are more enacted now, I've definitely learnt a lot or two from you all, thank you for your candid advice.

Half of my workers are mid range over 48-55, and constitute the set of people who like to cheat me , I've been extremely nice to my workers in such a way you'll always love to work with me, I pay them promptly , sometimes cook for them and made sure they see enough gain when buying materials aside from their workmanship fee....

There's this carpenter that has been working for me over 2 weeks, he seemed cool at first and sweet coated whenever he dishes me daily report about his work and how well coordinated he works, I decided to give him a trial in the first place but the first work he did was so unsatisfactory he got me angry , someone over 40 years older than me, I gave him money to get nails for me which he never bought for the work , when I requested for the pack of nails he bought he gave me unreasonable excuses... And he was someone who was literally begging to get the job misbehaving to me....


as if that's not enough, I caught my bricklayer with a vehicle to the site loading over 4 bags of cement into the little van they brought, I wish I could record the shock all over his face and the way he was stammering .. And decent guy who I thought was reasonable enough to handle things for me, I sacked the motherfucker, the new one I employed is even worse, he thinks I'm a small buy kus I'm 22 and maybe he's feeling Intimidated by the portfolio of work I'm handling....

so many instances I can't even mention, after showing them love and care, allowing them to eat even when you are paying them well, they'll go at any length to rip you off...

please always open your eyes ooo, most of these worker's but not all are fond of acting crazy and take people they work for granted on site, they feel they are always smarter than. everyone else in the room and know how to cheat their way around you.... we have to do better and more as human, greed is unnecessary a d won't define breakthrough .moment for anybody...

I have had opportunities to work in few engineering department including a site supervisor/engineer and I was able to realize that it's tougher to run business in Nigeria. Aside government policies that made life difficult for business to triumph, labour is a big threat to Nigeria businesses. Every staffs wants to make extra income aside their normal pay and they put up every available strategies to actualize it.
Treating them well by giving them food and talk to them like family is not bad and that is not the problem, but Nigerians are terrible people, one needs extra iron hands to handle Nigerians.

Dear Poster,

I understand how you feel, I am a Quantity Surveyor/Project Manager and I have couple of sites that I am managing. Even as at this morning I caught some of my workers stealing electricals cables out of site.

But I will ask you few questions;

Do you have a store you can keep materials?
Do you have a Quantity Surveyor that evaluates and quantify work done in relation to the material request or material used?
Do you have a store keeper or site officer taking account of activities and materials?
Do you have a site Engineer or Supervisor?
Do you hold them responsible if you found them wanting? (like making them pay for what they steal?).

I know theft on site might be difficult to stop but it can be drastically reduced.

Thanks.
Re: My Workers Are Ripping Me On Site by landproglobal: 11:35am On Sep 06, 2021
Senoiret:
Half of my workers are mid range over 48-55, and constitute the set of people who like to cheat me , I've been extremely nice to my workers in such a way you'll always love to work with me, I pay them promptly , sometimes cook for them and made sure they see enough gain when buying materials aside from their workmanship fee....

There's this carpenter that has been working for me over 2 weeks, he seemed cool at first and sweet coated whenever he dishes me daily report about his work and how well coordinated he works, I decided to give him a trial in the first place but the first work he did was so unsatisfactory he got me angry , someone over 40 years older than me, I gave him money to get nails for me which he never bought for the work , when I requested for the pack of nails he bought he gave me unreasonable excuses... And he was someone who was literally begging to get the job misbehaving to me....


as if that's not enough, I caught my bricklayer with a vehicle to the site loading over 4 bags of cement into the little van they brought, I wish I could record the shock all over his face and the way he was stammering .. And decent guy who I thought was reasonable enough to handle things for me, I sacked the motherfucker, the new one I employed is even worse, he thinks I'm a small buy kus I'm 22 and maybe he's feeling Intimidated by the portfolio of work I'm handling....

so many instances I can't even mention, after showing them love and care, allowing them to eat even when you are paying them well, they'll go at any length to rip you off...

please always open your eyes ooo, most of these worker's but not all are fond of acting crazy and take people they work for granted on site, they feel they are always smarter than. everyone else in the room and know how to cheat their way around you.... we have to do better and more as human, greed is unnecessary a d won't define breakthrough .moment for anybody...
