OK, will check this. So I presume that email contains all the 4 diagrams, right?
Thanks

Also expecting a copy of the approval as promised.

brag3:
Can I ask again for the 3rd time. When are you going to send my Structural, Architectural, Electrical and Mechanical drawings?
If you don't feel comfortable sending it to me then please send it to my brother.
I really need them now. pleaseeeeeeeeeeee

brag3:
Issue is way behind us. I agreee that but if you feel in some way I or my brother did not stick to the terms then can say it.

brag3:
"By respecting each other's decision and meeting up our obligations as spelt out in contract document, all will be well. The big question is "Do all our clients satisfy the conditions of the contract?"
"

Brabus you seem to be insinuating that your clients dont satisfy all the terms of their contract with you.
Can you let me know when/where we broke the terms of our contract?

Thank you for that.

You want a proof. I'll give you! RCCG camp is not a police cell!

Whether you do so with current supplier or not, I paid for the first offloading and it's my own money that I paid for the offloading of your cement sir.

So which plank did the wood supplier threaten to remove from under the decking for non-payment? Marine board? Or the planks you bought with your money?

He rejected bribes but he couldn't report the stealing of iron rods and cement kept in his custody to you early enough. Not even accost the truck used in transporting the cement and rods except the truck moved the whole site at once. I've heard you.

I hope you've truly learned from this. Just so painful I warned you earlier about this and you refused to take heed to the warning. Now, you've blown budget and you're blaming it on me. In your own words, "I'm not. Comfortable with it but as I said you are deliberately frustrating it by making sure cost rises to prove a point" and my response "I think you don't know. Otherwise, if you consider what you spent on foundation viz-a-viz the overrun, you'll know that you're just doing the wrong thing. I told you from the onset that things will be more expensive going that route. Now you said I'm trying to prove a point. The bulk of the extra is from materials and not labour. Now the extra cement used on decking. Did I use it elsewhere or your site? So what's the deliberate frustration there? You win some loose some. But in this case the loss will be more especially for you cos there won't be soft landing."

For the records, I still did this without getting reimbursed by you:

1. Payment to offload 300 bags of cement delivered.
2. Payment to Lagos State Material Testing Officials when they came visiting
3. Generator been used from the beginning of the project was delivered and fueled by me till date.
4. Numerous payments to land urchins and the gateman whenever they come disturbing.


If it gets bigger than this, then I cannot absorb it.

look at my response above.

Can you give a number of the worker I'm owing? I'll like nairaland member to give him a call. On suppliers, they supply and we pay as we agree. It's none of your business so long you don't pay them.

Like seriously, you are holding on to my balance and when I asked you and you paid. Did he remove the woods? Your screenshot should help with that.

Can you call up those guys to confirm they haven't been paid their money?

Bros, you don't have any points here. They deal with NextHome and not you. Tell them that.

EgunMogaji:
I disagree with the bolded.

Maybe Brabus won't do it but that's not saying that there aren't contractors out there that gets the business model perfected.

Have you heard about construction insurance and other types of building performance insurances? It's all about contracts Bro.

Again Spyder and other real estate investors are using their own money (either personal funds or business investment sources) to make these developments before approaching clients for monies.

But then like Brabus said, some clients are just used to the Baba Lati method of building.

warrior01:
I think that guy needs to go for a deliverance. Brabus, why do you like arguing with your clients instead of listening to know where you're falling short. Must everything be fight? With your responses here, I wonder how your clients cope with you. Somebody made a wonderful review about your work and where felt you fell short, pronto! You attacked him. Am bold to say, you're good with your ''packaging' which is good for a good business man but with this attitude of yours, you wouldn't go far. It's time for you to be sober, take the hit and learn from your mistakes then, stage a good and clean comeback. Please stop destroying yourself.

Which mistake and apology? Even though it's just a paper document, we have all things clearly spelt out. And that's exactly what we did.

Screenshot or not. Your estimate is prepared based on professional documents submitted to us. Or was it like you said "I want 50 pillars, 8 board raft, and we quoted based on your instruction and not the drawings?

Check the document sent to you sir. It reads builders quote and not Bill of Quantity. It's the same document we submitted for your fence work which was delivered without a glitch.

If you can remember very well, you messed the contract at the filling stage. You were renegotiating the cost of filling sand when we got to the stage. So if you end up using more than the number budgeted and the excess was supplied by you, how is that suppose to be my problem? You can provide your evidences (especially the extreme negatives) to dispel my claim above.

Stealing your materials when you have your security living permanently on site. You still paid over N100k to the community for security and the Landlord association also collect their security due. Something got to be wrong about this. You need to look elsewhere bro.

You went out of the contract by not keeping to the first agreement which is in the payment schedule. You also went out of contract when you were renegotiating the cost of filling sand and I told you why not before we got started. You went out of the contract when you refused to provide all that is required in the contract document by you. For example, I provided the generator to power the pumping machine throughout the lifetime of the project. It's those little simple things that matters. You walked out of the contract by making additions and subtraction a without regard to what was agreed on that little paper. You walked out of the contract by tricking us to give you a lesser quote for the foundation work and then coming back to renegotiate what was left.

I know better now and such a thing won't reoccur again. You can take your proofs to anywhere. We didn't walk out of the contract.

segcymoor:
Yeah. that is my guy. ...I trust you will back but in another dimension

EgunMogaji:
I think I'm starting to get a feel for what's happening. Change orders are a critical part of any legit process.

Maybe you're not big enough yet for this but consider adding a contract person to your staff to isolate you from some of this stuff.

semitunde:
Can you pls explain more about this.

Does it not need evacuation at all? What area does it occupy? What is its capacity in terms of housing units for wastes it can handle?

Time has come to use technology and advances in biological sciences to tackle this problem.

wytecat:
Ok, I'm just saying what I think is going on. It's a forum where ideas even from most unlikely places are shared. And I'm not going to let anything not even a testosterone filled house can silence me.

And it's perfectly normal to want to defend one's antagonist.

wytecat:
Your point is weak, and it's only you and your conscience that will answer to the higher one if you knew the truth but looking the other way. People like you only thrive in destruction. You had to push brabus out of the way to be in charge of the project, that's clear, so what?

wytecat:
[s]You are a thief and a liar, swear with your life that you haven't stolen a penny from this your brother's project? After all leaves don't fall far from the tree. If your sister could do it, you too can. You just had to demonize him to get your hands in. Lowlife scum.[/s]

PeoplesArmy:
When I see people begging for a job in this manner I get worried. This is how eghosajohnny and brabus started and today it has evolved badly. @danny34 of you are sure of yourself, open a thread and show your hustle.The clients will look for you. There are many successful painters on nairaland!

Aventures:
bros what an intresting project, 200 units on 8 floors waoh that mean 25unit per floor I would live to learn from this kind of space arrangement. can u pls open up a thread on this and drop the link for us here I am sure we ll learn a lot frombthis. tx in advance

brag3:
Bro this is where you fall flat on the whole case?
Yes I am fully aware of this and do you know why?

If you did you wont even bring this up.

I can see that you are clutching at straws here but let it go.

If you are not guilty then no wahala.

let's leave it all to our conscience

brag3:
@Brabus,
You did collude with her. Thats a fact. The question is who instigated the collusion but the fact is that from your own admittance you did collude wit her. and if you are now trying to show me proof of this collusion then you are still admitting it so don't see the point here.

Yes, I never asked you to pay any money to her account so if u did so it could be:

a) you did some business with her and you are paying for it (which I have heard)
or

So I heard and what are those business I did with your sister if I may ask? I told her to tell me what business I did with her that I haven't paid. When dealing with your sister, one needs extra caution. Since she's not here, can I know what I bought that I haven't paid for and when. I have proof for everything. She doesn't. She can only cook up stories

b) this is the kickback payment. But you seem to be defending her that she didn't receive one.

so what exactly are you trying to proof here.

Please lets concentrate on the premiership season and let this matter rest.

whatever money was lost has already been replinished Bro.

We have moved on. when God calls us back we wont take any of it with us so lets just leave good deeds behind.

brag3:
Thank you. Burt it was definitely lost and while we are on the subject.
You seem to assume that Brabus has made the payment to my sister.

She has claimed that Brabus has not made the payment to her.
Whichever 1.3M was lost - Fact. No technicalities here but Like I said its only money.

God always replinishes clean hands.
