Engineers in the house can verify readings of the test done by lagos state.
Instead of ADEDWARD to focus on best possible way to handle the situation. He has been threatening me his client.

bolu1986:
Am not defending anyone he said 65 percent of the work has been done… how come you still have 3m worth of materials stolen?

The estate securities should be questioned, cause that’s a lot of materials right there… you need to work work with your engr to resolve this

bolu1986:
How’s much is the missing materials?

But the Engr promised to buy the missing materials for you to come and finish?

raymondFirstborn:
Please avoid adedward. He has no conscience and is a liar.

raymondFirstborn:
This is the face of ADEDWARD. please do not give him your project. He has refused to be honest with me. I have been quiet for months, trying to raise funds. But he has been threatening to use money for my materials to replace his tools. He has not taken any step to recover the materials. Since March.

raymondFirstborn:
Incomplete materials. Did you supply all the Glass for the windows.

I don't want to talk much, I have accepted my faith. I just don't want anyone on this platform to fall victim. After transferring N7m, you didn't take any step to recover the missing materials.

DON'T DO BUSINESS WITH ADEDWARD.

raymondFirstborn:
This guy is an unrepentant liar. Mini sized Generator that was at end of its lifespan market value of 150k. Cutting machine less than 500k - 400k. How does this equate to N1m. If you were genuine, with a twin detached duplex, you would have made enough money to buy back your tools. From glass railings, cubicle you would have made enough to recoup your loses.

Even when I was planning on replacing materials in installments, you still didn't want to continue work. You inflated the quantity of missing materials, even when my site team took inventory .

Transact with Adedward at your own risk. He is a dishonest opportunitist .

raymondFirstborn:
Please avoid adedward. He has no conscience and is a liar.

raymondFirstborn:
Are you really serious here. Is this what you have to say. After paying you over N7m this is your excuse. Why would i steal materials for my own project on my owm site.

raymondFirstborn:
Adedward insisted he won't continue the job until we provide his missing tools. An old generator and aluminum cutting machine. I suggested we would pay for him to rent the tools to complete the job.

He insisted he won't continue the job unless we buy back his tools. Meanwhile adedward collected funds before going on the Christmas break, which was supposed to before glass for the windows. He didn't bring the complete glass materials. Now he wants to use money for the glass with him to replace his tools.

Akerewe:

Bbyshare:
Good day everyone, please aluminum window vendors here, kindly supply quote for this. Location is Ibadan

Akerewe:
It's better to spend more nd maintain the best quality.

In my own case, I don't care about the extra money I spent but am always satisfied nd feel fulfilled anytime I get the best quality materials myself. There was a time 2 iron benders condemned TMT TIGER ROD just because of the price that it's costly but I told them to never mind nd I bought the TMT TIGER nd they started complaining it's too hard to bend.

If the difference is not too much, I think it's better to buy quality than to give ur money to one crook artisan that would end up buying substandard materials for you while paying for quality materials

VanuatuWycombe:
My brother, most house owners are lazy when it comes to material procurement. This is where they loose nearly half of whatever they spend on a project.
There are projects we are handling right now by ourselves here, as per material procurement. Trust me; we are saving tons of thousands of Naira without compromising quality at all.

It’s good the OP goes out firstly and do price and quality survey.
Those people we contract to buy most building materials for us are crooks and greedy.

For instance, many people don’t know that Tower aluminum that we tout as the best in Nigeria even has grades. Once they say this material is Tower, we just fall for it.

I still maintain it: let him go and check. Investing a few bucks of Naira and a day or two in price and quality verification won’t be a bad one.

After buying the material, he could try and persuade the fabricator to come and fabricate on site.

VanuatuWycombe:
His workmanship should have been included in the price of each window. Don’t let him bamboos you into paying more.

Get quotations from 2 or 3 more fabricators and compare.

To reduce the cost, tell him give you a breakdown of the materials he would need to make each type of window and their prices, before he would add his labour.

Go to those window areas with whoever you choose to do it and measure them together. Don’t just take guessed feet or meters. Add up all needed number of feet of aluminum you would need and add a 5% allowance for wastage.

Then go out and find out more about those materials.
I assure you. You can buy nearly 100% of those materials by yourself.

The money is yours. Not his. Don’t fear anybody working for you and be throwing money at them, as they ask.

You would save a ton if you buy the materials you finally agreed by yourself.

twinskenny:
I think per item has workmanship inclusive I might be wrong…

Why separate workmanship?

10kgod:

Rawgold300:
Well said … The issue about this fabricator will be on this forum this week . This guy in question was treated like a brother but he decided to play smart .

I’m not going to lie I actually thought you guys are the same because you lot are from same area . Am sure you know the person am talking about . Ire ooo

gbadexy:
I'm sure other people may have thought it was adedward like I thought, good thing adedward commented about it to show he was not the person in question.
Such half information could affect an innocent person's business for one, it would prevent the person in question to come out to state his side of the story also.
Once you shield a contractor with a questionable character, you are a major part of the problem. That is why some may be able to defraud several other unsuspecting clients that should have been alerted.
Putting out needed information would help make due diligence.
If clients also call out and state their experience and give review, it would serve as a feedback mechanism that would make any contractor think twice before taking any action.
From experience, I know it's not always automatically the contractor's fault, there are different types of people with different characters but we quickly think because he is the client, he is a saint that must have been wronged. This is whatsoever not related to @rawgold300 because his allegations are clear but to draw attention to having an open mind and giving fair hearing.
If these types of things aren't handled properly, it would affect other genuine business people as it is already alleged that most people here are fraudulent.
I have never defrauded any client here, in fact I have never met over 90% of my clients
There are several others whom I have worked with for years that I know are honest and straightforward.

kopell:
Please don't generalize, there a lot of good people here that handle projects of over 100 million without any issue. Many of them are so busy they don't even have time to update their profile regularly. Always do your due diligence before commiting your hard earn money to just anybody
