I admire Rotech works greatly, he's one of the few professionals who's not always scared of showing off his works because he's always proud of what he does. His attention to details while working is also something I love.

I've been following his works since and I've never witnessed a single complaint towards him.

We humans are not perfect especially when we are trying a design that is not yet common in this part of the world. I will fault him for how he communicates and I won't also fault him because he's an engineer and that is why big coys hire communication manager/customer care service that handles disputes better.


The Client has every right to be angry and I also apologize on his behalf, if there's any way possible for Him to make things better, kindly allow him to.


Lastly also, he's a professional but you were too harsh in your responses to him by calling him stupid and co, this is not even a matter of age or whatsoever, I was really not happy with how you kept repeating the word "STUPID" "STUPID" "I AM OLDER THAN YOU". Go for the work he did but not his age and his personality.


But BOLU (POP guy) ommooor, you've known Rotech since though, the way you threw him under the bus with your response was bad
Bolu always casting stones...i would certainly hope he is blemish free .....

@next @brabus?

What’s could have gone wrong? Did you under quote? Lack of supervision from your end? Same pattern from the past still…

Even the nonupet (ibadan project has been abandoned!!)

You taking more projects more than you can handle at the same time?
Rather unfair to insinuate....

Good Morning all,

This is not a bashing post!!!

I have been advised to seek professional opinions on this.
Please I will need experts and professionals in the house to please advise on best approach on how to tackle this.

Quick summary:
During casting these areas were not well supported and almost gave way. From the look of things, beam seems to be affected.

@hajivince could you please explain the solutions you have proffered so far. I want the professionals in the house to weigh in on this to see if any of these approaches will work.



How can we correct this at this point?

Thanks very much sirs, I'm grateful.
I am a lil bit surprised you didn't use the last part of Aida principle (A&grin) bolded by recommending yourself to a product which you make so well ?? Are you shy shy sir ?? Lol

Interest – The consumer becomes interested by learning about brand benefits & how the brand fits with lifestyle

Desire – The consumer develops a favorable disposition towards the brand

Action – The consumer forms a purchase intention, shops around, engages in trial or makes a purchase


Cheers

Bros that generator is believed to 5.5 kva, our people make them write anything and brand on them. 7 years ago my friend call the manufacturer from US in China to make inquiries about that brand Sumac or sumic. They told us it was only one guy that import those generator to Nigeria then, the give him the guy Company name, phone, and offices address in Ikeja. He is surprise we get his information from China. I went to the guy office in Ikeja, he gives me little discount because we call the manufacture. I bought two of those generator, another friend bought 1 from him, it works well. it’s carry (1) 1.5 hp Ac (1hp Ac) refrigerator, water pump, and about 20 bulbs or so. Anything after that if field overload from the sound when running. It’s runs for 7 hours straight, stop let it rise for 3-5 hours then run it again. To have long lifespan from the generator it works for 4 years, before star have a problem. I just give it out. Note, not running like that for 4 years oo , some times. I may not need it for weeks. Another important thing people don’t pay attention to is Fuel consumed per hour, it is very very important when buying generator. I know many Nigerians don’t care about that because fuel is very cheap. It’s just like a car, if buy new car, you burn less gas per mileage than those good for nothing old Jeeps or truck as we call them. Do your research buy wisely.
Sir,
I am marveled with the lecturing about a piece of equipment I own.lol..I did offer to measure output voltage/wattage to prove...even though it would take time to get there you won't let me do it first but you have made complete assumptions based on your experience. Haha

Anyone can order products and stipulate specifications they want,to any market place like alibaba or aliexpress either through RFQS OR direct production order. This is not new making manufacturers make savings for cheaper pricing for countries with low standard organizations.no one checks ...you pay they blink....

Sir,
Compliance is important ROHS,CE,EEE,FCC...I did mention that stores like ALBERTINA Will/Would not sell Chinese knock-offs as original.[DO YOUR DILIGENCE CONTROL]..they probably sell those Chinese ones based on their price tags..they still have the reputation last checked...I dont hold brief for them..

Do you know why computer ..Intel celeron is cheaper than core i or pentium etc...

These Chinese people rate what they like.I bet you any cash thats ain't up to 4kva but the label it 10kva cos we don't measure.

This look good sir,can you please share more light on this kind of formwork and why you chose iron not wood ?
I would say major advantage of steel trusses are span...
they can span further than timber and can be manufactured to exact standards without warping like wood..
More especially industrial buildings ...I dont know what building codes says...

1.the average age of your roof is increased as steel is a highly durable material.
2 It lasts longer with proper coating and can bear high stress and pressure

3.no pest and termites issues

I got one for my carpenter, one for my Welder, they will tell me that it slows them down especially when climbing and even walking around on form works abs scaffold.

However, am still encouraging them to get used to wearing them. Even gloves � too.

Am sure they will get used to the new norm of wearing it.

We still paid 50naira per bag to the laborer for delivery.

See Maxthon (screenshot below) for you!

Unless they have changed, what is malicious about the site in the address bar?

How come all other browsers did not flag it?
You have been going on and on with this for days
now sir but go on...

There are other factors why some website can be flagged as malicious...
1..Geolocation (some banks login can tag login as malicious ...my bank won't let in first attempt in abstract location.

2.some websites, most recently so called fake news and disinformation websites, might also be considered malicious websites by Ssl . These sites aim to spread discord, affect election outcomes, and disrupt the activities of human rights groups.

3.Vpn more especially the free ones.

There are alot of impractical advice online.. It's not possible that cement costs 2750 from factory and rituals at 4000 naira..

I know FinPaul Akinlaja. He's a financial analyst/ investment advisor. Some of his analysis are spot on.

Some people drop nuggets to appear clever and smart. They even lure you into some investments and one suffers loses at the end.
I am not exactly sure what you are trying to say...sir read between the lines...the first part carries the weight....like I noted before...it is right advice probably wrong numbers right now...He got the numbers based on article that was written in February see link below .

https://nigerianprice.com/dangote-cement-price-today/

I mentioned factors like prices indices; price index (PI) is a measure of how prices change over a period of time, or in other words, it is a way to measure inflation.


Out of curiosity how do you Dr kalu ?

Dangote’s official price is N3720 per bag exclusive of haulage and offloading

I buy thru distributors but I know people working there , if you can get directly or thru a distributor cheaper than 3720 let me know , there is no distributor discount for more than a year now is what am told
Alright sir....in that case the distributor is selling to you flat rates? Or family and friends package? Abi they're increasing their purchase tally ?i don't have idea the price indices with cement...April to june just felt to share free chronicle probably with wrong data but good idea...
