BOSS,

yet to hear from you,
Are we still on course ?



FARAD

EgunMogaji:
Not at all, we have a good working relationship and has gotten other work through me.

I'm a good and fair person and a straight shooter.

If we can only learn to treat others the way we would like to be treated then Nigeria will be great again.

Please remember that I said I mostly used his crew or reccomended crew but I pay market rate. Builder can use his crew but price is market price. It's a win win, he gets people he can brow beat and my wallet stays afloat.

Onuokwu:
If that works for you, well....

I allow the engineer to use his own workers for better co-ordination and control. Before that i would have done a market survey and as such will negotiate the labour charges and infact materials costs vigorously within a fair range that does not compromise what i want to achieve. After that i hold the engineer strictly to quality standards and delivery of milestones.

Some of these guys, especially the daily paid ones are a different kettle of fish and by the time you realize to fire them, its at great cost to you. My first build was nearly messed up, took longer time than necessary and i eventually traced this down to imposing people on the engineer to supervise while not being physically available myself. Again i had to spend countless hours mediating and intervening as these different sets can be on site and not talk to each other but will be doing their own thing.

mavverick:
Some of those costs seems high to me. He should be willing to negotiate.

also since he has given you a figure for all of the labour inclusive. He might not want to do supervision again, if you want to do supervision only who will provide the workers ?

I don't know much about the warri terrain, but if I were to be using your figures as a template for my costs and finishing, i might as well build Aso rock.

Also try to get involved with the project and not just give him 100% control, you also need to supervise and monitor yourself.

You don't also want to hear story about workers not being paid !! Just like what I heard when I engaged engineer at one stage.

@Fash78

I am glad all the artisans I recommended did not disappointed us.
When I recommended this guys I always put my reputation at stake and so far no disappointment.
I am also happy that the work is going well.. God will surely provide you more funds to get everything finished and soon.
May God Almighty also provide for those who are wishing to do the same. Stay blessed Brother Fash28.

Note: The window hoods and the aluminium windows are very nicely done too. Everything is surely coming together.

Please make sure they fix that big gash on the bigger precast soak-away with concrete mortar before they actually sunk it o.

Thanks Hajji M. The defects will be corrected before the tanks are sunk into the ground. Thanks for your kind words.

Dele,

What is the the problem with you? You are fond of writing long Epistle full of lies. You are the reason why some projects are abandoned half way due to exploitation by you and your workers. For your information, I have built 2 properties before I met you thru Fash project on dis forum. My candid opinion about you is that you a wicked and have no conscience.

Am a private person and don't like to discuss my matter on a public forum, I think I need to open up a bit. Now let me refresh your memory on so many areas I had issue with you.

1. Your requested for the sum of N150K for supervising of the fence work. The fence that cost less than N400K. I finally paid you N60K after so much argument.

2. Casting of the raft labour. You insisted that I should pay N140k. Your attitude of don't negotiate labour charges forced me to pay this ridiculous amount. For you info, after I fired you, the Decking casting was done at the rate of N140k with two machines. Dele, you a big time cheat.

3. Materials savings; you don't save clients anything in fact it cost more. For example, the cement(145 bags) left after the German floor casting was enough to set the Blocks and casting of the Lintel. Your estimated numbers of cement was a fraud.

4. Supervision fee to Finish. You charged me the sum of N2.4M based on your wide dreams of sum of N24m to finish. I told you I will pay you N1.2m that I will not use N24m to finish my project. You insisted on N2m or nothing. You were so stubborn to deal with and you refused to shift grounds. To God be the glory the house is 85% completed and the total sum spent is N14m with quality and best of materials. Thank God I fired you. I would not have reached that level with u and your quack labourers.

5. Plumbing works; see your life. The N50K that I transferred to your account nko. Did you give the Plumber the money? Also, is N50k the labour for putting pipes waste in the raft foundation? Dele, you are cheat and between you and me, you never pay the plumber N50k. If you have integrity, you should have refund part of my money back.

I rest my case with you and if not for your unnecessary rants that you are not working with Fash again. Trying to gain sympathy from Nairaland for the action Fash took to fired you. Considering what I was able to achieve with my small money on that project, I will fire you one Million times. Yeye dey smell.

Pls Dos who want d windows b careful of cheap, d quality of d Windows n burglary is questionable . D welder used white light pipe for burglary hence d price is cheaper Dan black pipe or black thick pipe..
D question is, do u want to use a white pipe for ur burglary U can ask ur Engr for d merits n demerit.. Cheap is never quality dt don't also b naive Abt price. Check ur prices.

Dear Fash,

It is a pity your relationship ends on a sour note with Elfad. I wrote a personal mail to you last year concerning the way and manner he treats his client. I specifically told you in the mail that I have moved on with my project but there is need for you to advice him to thread carefully about money . ( which in fairness you did) His charges are just too outrageous and he has this habit of always saying am saving you money but in actual sense he is killing the person. Always allowing his labourers and foremen to cheat and charge ridiculous prices.

I would not want to go into details because you have said it all. But I will like to confirm your statement that his Plumber is a thief. In my own case, I was forced to pay thru Elfad the sum of N50K out of the N350k he charged for the whole project (Plumbing works). He did not do up to 5% work on my site when I had to terminate the contract with Elfad. I call him (plumber) to at least come and finish his work that I paid for, I was shocked when he told me I should not call him that Elfad did not give him money and instead of Elfad to refund me na one big epistle mail I got warning me not to call his worker.

Please move on with your project and not let this derail your goals.

I am very disappointed with the whole case.... simply put.
