You keep saying he didn’t do supervision. Let me correct that impression. Supervision fee is just local parlance for professional fee. Other than monitoring and directing laborers, that fees also cover things like
Transportation to your site
Lunch while at the site
Phone calls
Mobilization of workers
Professional input
His pay or gain in the contract

So it is not just money you pay to have him monitor laborers.

guy leave the man alone, your money nor lost, you nor build, what's ur interest in this case, free the man joor him get case with Brabus and the other guy, Y drink panadol for another man headache

MrOkenwa:
Each apartment would be registered but they may not receive the prepaid meter. Many of the landlords in my area didn't get the meter.

case in PHC is different

diordaves:
That's the theory- Free. But they keep telling you no meter and keep on slamming you with outrageous estimated bills. It's the estimated bills that will now force you to pay for allocation. So have you been allocated one for free? How did it go?

I already have 5 prepaid meters installed, they came with it one Saturday morning to fix, I did not even apply for one.
For my New house I will see how that one plays out

somehow:
Once you apply for it, they won't bring it but automatically moves you to estimated billing for the time being.

ok but its free at my End in PH, why do you guys have to pay?

MrOkenwa:
I had 2 meters installed in the same address sometimes in 2015. they're both in my name(flat A and B)…Abeokuta
I have another build with 5 apartments somewhere else around abk. Sometimes last year, my caretaker contacted me about an ongoing mass metering program. It was free of charge for houses/apartments that are already registered under ibedc. I only registered 1 of those apartments. so, they were sharing just 1 bill(15K), and I was entitled to just 1 meter. The ibedc guys declined to install the meter, they suggested that we register the remaining 4 apartments, so that each apartment would receive its own meter. I was convinced by the caretaker and the tenants not to proceed (they said na setup), because the meter would probably not be installed(not enough to go round), and each of the apartment will now be paying the estimated monthly bill of 15k(now 23k). The community enjoys about 20 hours of electricity.
Note: the meters are not the ones hung outside.

How will they pay an estimated bill when it is prepaid?

I would be shopping for tiles in PH soon

I totally agree with you on this. Let narrate how they ended up using 180 bags of cement instead of 120 bags for my German floor.

The contractor hired some laborers on pay per bag agreement. #500 for mixers and #500 for servers per bag cement. He actually gave them the mixing ratio but because of greed the were literally doing stones and cement with just little of sand.
The contractor was only keeping account by counting numbers of empty bags and tallying it with the remainder in the storage.
At the end of the day, 180 empty bags were on the ground

So the laborers got #180k instead of #120k. That additional 60k was all they cared about.
I ‘lost’ 60 bags x 4K = 240k
Because contractor paid for labor, that was 60k of his money gone.
This is just one example of some things that happen with building.

lol we learn everyday, to this your problem I solved it with priced Labour, on my decking I had a guy charge for total labour and I provided materials.

My brother
I have spend over 3 millions in Nairaland and I have not met the people
My Friend bought stuff from DFAMEGUY11S in Nairaland and had 150k balance
DFAMEGUY11S Called me and said my Friend have a 150k balance if he should supply him the goods I said Yes
I have being doing business with DFAMEGUY11S for over three or four year I haven't met him in person
The last time I was in Town DFAMEGUY11S said we must see
My friend had to send DFAMEGUY11S money later

This was what I meant, But People also should learn to manage their expectations too. Not everyone is a crook

GoodFaith:
People in nairaland have spend lot of money buying goods and services from sellers and service provider in nairaland
Where people live don't matter it is about spending money
Sellers should provide high quality goods
Service provider should state the type of service, They can provide not over promising
Nairaland is a very web page
The People here selling goods and services are the problem
Nigerian we people are pure evil

Bro not everyone is evil, do you have any idea of howmany people abroad has bought land and built houses without even seeing the people of Nairaland one on one?I have friends both UK and US who did this without stepping to Nigeria until the house was done. What I would like to add here is people should learn to manage their expectation and do thins recorded and in stages

Abudu2000:
i ve said it times without numbers, take your bussiness away from nairaland. nairalanders are BAD for bussiness. the small money you will make is not worth your reputation. they are not even rich, poor broke ppl claiming to live in usa and uk. mtcheeew!

This is very rude, and childish, I expect the whole of us here to be adult, such talks are meant for the kids section, we keep it real here!

inze:
. . . it's funny how time flies. I remember the boldened like it was yesterday. We've really lost alot of good people to the hands of competition who careless about integrity and the boundless opportunities that arise from good referal.

See how person dey one corner dey wait for babaEgun referal in order to patronize our able gbadexy (even with his good name)

It's funny how as a service provider you find it easy to spew words around with an aggrieved client online knowing fully well that a large chunk of your potential customer traffic this same community on a daily basis.

Some of us have had it with a few names on here as well and prefer to bury the matchet, the good ones we praise and refer.

Not everyone is bad, not everyone is good, if you're a service provider, please provide service appropriately.

This was the reason I did a DIY building from plan to finish, I wanted to derv into the minds of Suppliers, builders, designers etc, waht I found was this, 2many variable in the building trade and not enough constants' seriously do not know how Engineers and contractors could give and estimate for a job they are going to do in two weeks, cos prices changes daily. If I was not doing all by myself I would have thought someone ate my money. My advice is please guys lets cut some slacks for builders and Engineers in the house. Sometimes the sublet the jobs to a worker and the worker do not give a damn about reputation and does a shoddy job, I have one as we speak, ordinary window dressing he made a big messs and wasted 3 bags of cement.

EroticJane:
yeah but not from Nigeria. mumu

Just cos you said not from Nigeria you think I have to believe YOU and you have to be insult your father in the process as well>

Charly68:
I think foolish stingy men do such a thing ... Real men give without looking back .. they live a life of no regret

Nah those are men with no other Options

thesicilian:
I agree with you. Why do people even do that, take back a gift? It doesn't make sense at all.

Once I broke up with a girl and she returned the watch I bought for her. That even hurt me more than the break up itself. I wonder why people can't just break up amicably.

and If U bought a car and she is now carrying her new bf in it?

autologic:
Ambient temperature sensor at the front bumper is faulty. Ac system need the sensor signal to determine the outside temperature so as to know the level to set the coldness of ac inside the cabin.

AInt this true only if you set it to Automatic??

EroticJane:
Nigerian men have no future. A country full of low-life people expressing their foolishness thinking they are wise. ishhh ***spit on thread*** am out!

Last time I checked your father, Uncle and all your brothers are MEN!

Surrey2Bimshire:
It’s child abandonment especially when you have both parent and you uproot a child from his country of resident with the hope of you bringing them back only for you to abandon them there.

Speak to any social worker or child protective service agent they’ll tell you what he did is in fact a child abandonment and kidnap being held against their will .
That woman has a good solid case if they’re legal residence of Spain .and if they’re not she can use domestic violence and emotional abuse as a her means . That man is not smart at all

Well I thought I was talking to an enlightened soul but I guess not, Kidnap?The Man in question in the Eyes of the Law has done nothing wrong.If he had brought the child by himself and abandoned the child there on their own then that's abandonment. The man never said they cannot return that's up to the woman, do not forget the child is with their biological MUM, and even moving 4ward, there is nothing whatso ever that suggest in that video that yours and loads of others narrative what what the video was all about not even an ounce of it.
If I go to work and leave my child who is 13 at home with their mum that's not child abandonment, however if I leave them by themselves it is. More so to kidnap is to hold someone against their will. so how Kidnap came into this topic alludes my imagination!
Abadonment can never take place as far as the kids are left in the care of a responsible adult in this case MUM

Surrey2Bimshire:
Lol no they won’t .if those children are citizen ,the man will definitely get in trouble for child abandonment � when she finally return to Spain ,she should hit him hard with law suite .

You guys are soooo funny, how can one abandon a child when the said child is left in the care of an Adult??

oolusola2:
Good evening, I was told its good to use water proof membrane (nylon) after foundation, can this be done on a foundation without German floor,
If this is possible Will they continue laying block on a nylon without joining the foundation block, how will the building be gum to to foundation with this approach pls enlighten me ,

Anywhere you have contact with mother earth its always a good idea to use waterproof if you can afford it, Best practice especially when you are building on or near waterlogged area

Blessedpikin:
Professionals in the house I really need your advice. I’m worried about the circled area around the verandah of my build I told the engineer handling the project I’m not comfortable leaving the design like that hence he should introduce a pillar to support that angle cos of the weight. Please kindly advice

If the lintel is locked and keyed properly I see no problem there, I have two of that on my build and its fine

Unu don start again abi

Going for an Interview, just dress for it...You can decide to wear whatever you like after that.

I just don't like the leg chain thing...Even it is a fashion stuffs, I still won't buy the idea.

You just said, you just do not like the leg chain, so too some people do not like nose piercing or body art. But that's your own personal opinion, where I work if you for any reason sack, harass or make a derogatory remark cos of how a person appears or dressed of which does not brake Rules and Regs, you will be almost sacked if not suspended!
IN certain places for health and safety reasons you are required to dress i n certain ways that I can understand wearing lose clothing to where you got loads of turning machines. or wearing your hair long in a food servicing coy etc, that I can understand, her wearing a leg chain is not going to brake health and safety regulation or put anyone at risk

Testimony1988:
1 Peter 3:3-4 (KJV) Whose adorning let it not be that outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel;
But let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price.

How does that castigate this woman in question, please ask yourself what was the gift the 3 wise men gave to baby Jesus??

Ignorant Bushman! Dullard Lesbian apologist!

My thoughts exactly, Bush man like me lives in a concrete Jungle, town man like you live in a muddy jungle, cant you see how clever you are!

Munzy14:
Well explained...You are addressed the way you dress.

I just don't like two things on a lady, waist chain/beads.

And leg chain.

As for piercing, no problem, but make e no pass two for ear and that lovely one On thè nose...In case of extreme fashion..

Leg chain is a turn off..I have this medical doctor that comes around to patronize , I changed my rating when I saw her with leg chain...For somebody whose kids are in secondary school.

To future wife, please avoid waist/leg chain biko.

so its ok to wear wrist band or cracelet on your hand but not on your leg right?

drololaaof:
Even being a music star did not confer to dress uselessly like a lunatics, majority of the so called rising or star are on substance abuse. For the lady in chain on legs it is an advertisement or belonging to a social order or cult. It serve her right

this is 2022, Upgrade small, mayB you should travel a bit outside your comfort zone or village

AbujaCitiBlog:
Obviously, the employers didn't want to employ lesbians as leg chain is their mode of identification.

U are still unexposed!
