PrettyBolu:
Why is there no risk of you donating billions to support the Africa you came from. That money Elon Must wasted to buy twitter should have been invested in infrastructure in Africa.

South Africans will be claiming Elon Must because he was born there but the guy has never contributed anything to South Africa.

When you make your own "billions" you can decide to donate it all to Uganda ....no one has any right to tell u how to spend your hard earned money.

Family / Re: How Are You Coping With The Current Economic Situation? by ArchyDesmond(m): 12:07pm On Dec 04, 2022
jeromestarks:
Imagine how hard this economy is and your wife is still secretly fvcking her ex behind your back.

A woman you did not disvirgin will fvck her ex the moment he shows up to her on Facebook or in the market.

Do not pay Bride price, sponsor wedding ceremony and take care of in laws just to have a woman who was fvcked by a guy who didn't pay anything on her. You're not a fool.


No matter how harsh the economy is, you will not feel it much if you marry a virgin woman.

Fvck any girl you want but when it comes to marriage, take the pain to find a virgin woman and marry. Only her deserves your love and devotion.

Better to suffer to marry a virgin and have a lasting peaceful home free of paternity fraud than to marry a girl who has been fvcked by several men and train another man's child.

A girl you did not disvirgin will forever compare you with the men she has slept with and this will make her frustrate you in marriage.

A certain word from the tune rings in my ears as "NEPA". It still does.

I don't know if I'm the only one that hears that.

Strangely, this was in 2000 at my corper's lodge, anytime the song played on air...not too long after, NEPA would take light.

QSFemi:
I do not want to divert attention from the ongoing conversation I'm having with him here.

But a short response to your points are as follows;

1) A performance bond from a reputable bank was asked to be provided but he couldn't meet up.

2) The payment method of the project was quite unusual due to unexpected inflation in the price of materials while the project was ongoing. In order to cushion that effect, we've to pay on advance so that materials could be bought and stockpiled on site.

There's no retention and LAD clause in the contract.



The bolded are obviously the root cause of the issue.
I hope this reconciliation gives desired result.

Cheers!

Sighs!!!

Good evening all.

Tell the house and let's know your side of the coin once and for all.

If i may ask, How was he able to owe the client a substantial amount of money at almost project completion.

I believe this might be due to a high percentage of Advance payment given to him.

In other to protect the client, You/The client could have asked for a bank bond to avoid issues like this. Also, A monthly valuation should have been issued and the advance payment amortized effectively within the stipulated contract period. What does your contract agreement says regarding Retention and LADs?

@ N3XT Your joke about enjoying semo before dignifying your client with a response and all those laughing emojis is highly insensitive and very unnecessary

Interestingly, we are here because of QS submission/recommendation. I’m not making additional claims on my part other than what was in my contract.

If a professional QS can’t spot errors in his submission/calculations, then I shouldn’t be the one to point it out again.
We’ve had to do the same thing over and over for months and it seems I’m deliberately stalling the process when I’m actually stating the obvious.

Conflicts and delays are just the end result of everything that has gone wrong prior to.
Often times, most clients want to track expenses forgetting that it is insufficient, inadequate or ineffective progress tracking and re-planning as the project proceeds through execution that causes devastating impact on a project’s momentum.

Showing up unexpectedly at the twist of event, recommending termination of an ongoing contract for ?? and recommending the client spend more to complete a fixed sum contract with over-optimism that the contractor can be cornered, intimidated or bullied into making a refund for all additional expenses are some of the biggest pitfall of the project.

I didn’t expect anything less because this is coming from someone who hasn’t visited the project until he was invited and was only acting on what he was told.

I played a similar role on another project that we just completed few weeks back and none of the subcontractors involved were sacked because I knew a project’s overrun is a result of inaccurate analysis and planning and it cost more to fix when wrong approach and strategy are applied.

The project owner suffers the most when wrong decisions are made.

Go back to the thread https://www.nairaland.com/6450270/construction-journal-xl6-trillion-atrium and read from page one to the last page and ask yourself a simple question, “What could make this beautiful project hit the brick?”

We worked non-stop



_______

Note: I used the same QS for one of my project this year even though his bill was thrown away by my client.




Seen.

I believe you gave them a Program before the commencement of the contract. Did you work according to program or you defaulted in time ( as per items in your contract bill).

Any additional work or variation cost should be presented to the client along with its time implication for approval. Hence, the moment the client has given you approval on the additional work, you are expected to present a revised program incoporating the approved additional works


This will keep both parties in check as an increased scope of work will not be expected to be completed with the same contract duration.


Determination of the contract shouldn't have been the immediate recommendation of the Q.S. This may not favour the client on the long run. Double expenses on most preliminaries.


Based on what I read, The Clients Qs only visited the site when the project was having this issue, He should have been more frequent with the project from start. Coming in at a critical stage of the project to recommend determination seems too harsh.


Overall, I don't believe in settling issues online. This will definitely affect your brand. Most new client might want to Google your company name before awarding you a contract and seeing all these controversies popping up might not be a good one. For peace to reign, you'll need to make certain sacrifices.


I wish all parties the very best.

Cement was never sold 3,000 at anytime this year but I kept my figures at 3,000 during the lifetime of the project.

Neither did any blockmaker sold blocks at 200 at any time in the year 2021 but I kept my part of the bargain so that question of underquoting to pick a contract doesn’t arise.

So the issue of inflation didn’t start in October.

3350 seems more like a WIN/WIN.

Thanks.




i dont know if this issue has been sorted or not. What i will tell you is that, as a Building contractor, You need to employ the service of a personal Quantity Surveyor. You will only be doing yourself a disservice if you think you don want to engage one because of the financial part.
This is more than what you can handle. Be more professional.
