Well mr who ever you are out of respect for somehow who is losing money I seize to engage with you.cos right now I see you are hell bent on frustrating his effort, I don't know why but I see you clearly, I don't know why the Admin has no locked the thread yet

lock the thread because of what? Why are not even sympathetic with the client? Brabus has been posting here for sometime you didn’t say anything or warn prospective clients… take a chill pill sir

somehow:
Please this is not the time to joke.

I once wasted 1 weeks wage paid to the PM because he was on site and contractor and his people didn't show up.

Please stop replying this peopled they are wasting your time…

The crook brabus know the truth but he will rather drag this on to buy more time

sonnie10:
What other materials did he need for building carcass? What else did you want to see on ground? Have you considered that the building was at roofing stage in about two months?
Do the maths. A contract of about #15M. Let’s even agree that the balance left is #2M. Therefore #13M was actually used. Isn’t that about 90% completion before termination?
The issue here is about what is left.

What a long "back and forth" read...Things dey happen sha...

I honestly don't know what to say, except for a few things.

Next's claim that cement was not sold for 3k or less this year anywhere was not correct, i bought 2,950 around Mowe in Feb, later bought 3k around ending of Feb 2021...

l'm happy one thing is clear and that is both party agreed that REFUND will be made, problem is "how much to be refunded".

Secondly, somehow is magnanimous to have pegged refund to 2m BUT there is more.

The QS is part of the project from beginning, paid by somehow and it is EXPECTED that whatever FIGURE he brings will be tilted in favour of his client, atleast they say that whoever pays the piper COULD dictate the tune..

NEXT is not totally wrong not to ACCEPT the proposed refund value from QS femi, moreso if his statement (if it is TRUE) that the figure has been reviewed 4th time, albeit downward, shows that the job was not tidy enough...From some of the upload/communication here, it seems there are some things he was not contracted for yet being ask to make refund-----if this is correct, i refer back to my statement and i ask, did we tidy up before presenting a figure for repayment?

Oga NEXT, you have presented your repayment value to be 1,075M, can you please share how you arrived at your own figure? I want to learn something. You ought to have been present when you got an invite to the site to enable the QS present a more detailed /acceptable report;instead of this ambiguilty....

NEXT, you have WASTED too much time and you have caused alot of pain for your client..i don't know you, never met you but i always look forward to your comment whenever there is issue between vendor/client on this platform...In this case, you have ACTED in direct opposite to what you have always propose/recommend in order to resolve issues amicably. You failed! Please by all means, FIX THIS PROBLEM!

There is a much more important value that was lost in this project, and that is the value of TIME. Who will pay for all the time wasted?

You nailed it sir

But unfortunately he won’t fix any problem… he will still come back here with a long epistle on how he was okay right

sonnie10:
This question was months back, still relevant today.

are you guys trying to blame the QS or what!? I don’t get it..:

Brabus was paid over 97% of the total contract sum? Why don’t u question him as to where he didn’t buy and store materials at that time? What do you expect? You guys should at least pity the client. He did his part but brabus didn’t!!

And when they call him to come to the site for evaluation did he show up? No he didn’t.. claiming he was busy !!! You guys should learn how to ask the right questions

Kambols95:
Packaging dey there too ooo, I heard from a reliable source that most of these regular guys on this thread clients give jobs to are not even Professionals in the built arena. Yet, they parade themselves as Engineers, Builders and Architects(as the case may be).

Someone without professional inclination will act anyhow to a client because he doesn't have tie or bond with the professional body.

Clients should ask for current Practice license before giving a job out to these so called Vendors. I think that will in a way reduce issues of this nature. My humble opinion ☺️

Brabus studied computer science… but then he is good at packaging. He can do all thing lol from been an electrician, welder, networking etc

somehow:
It was in stages but all in advance for one purpose; to buy and store materials in bulk.

He kept coming to me for advance payment citing rumors of rise in cost of materials.

We were working with a payment schedule drafted by him at first before the gimmicks.

I actually did the same thing with @Twinskenny and I have never had any reason to regret.

Same was done to the plumber @Olaleye, AC vendor (abeit partly) and both didn't fail me.

Still did something similar with @Michlin.

Look at how many vendors on this list… and get mr crook choose the wrong part… saw a post where Twinskenny was complaining bitterly about the quality of electrical pipes used by mr Bosun!!

And someone is up here justifying his criminal activities…..

He abandoned your project to face the ibadan project… I guess the owners were nice enough to kick him out on time. ….

I pray you recover your money

micgray100:
Brabus... Be rest assured there are people here that have gone through this before here...Hyprocrisy is the last thing in mind of some of us here..... At least you are aware of my Borehole Saga...

Come with evidences... and I am sure elders on the forum will justify the refunded amount in contention...

why don’t you advice your friend to turn a new leave at least?

vanbonattel:
If he answers this question, I will deactivate my account

Chei he is busy eatin semo.. no time.


I will create a thread for him on the front page to make him more popular …


Been searching for the old thread… if anyone has it kindly drop it.
Thanks

Stopthecap:
This petty fraudster is not miles ahead of anyone!!!
He only relies on silence of many on this forum (and dare I say cowardice of some) to continue.

It is not a coincidence that his fraudulent activities had been limited on this forum until now.

when an unstoppable train hits an immovable object ....

Ogami he hasn’t met his match to be honest… by now he should be cooling off somewhere in the military Barack… court will take time but sometime for someone like this real violence is needed!!! Trust me he will pay every penny owe… he is here causing people pain and he is still laughing about it….

somehow:
For those who can spot truth.

Check the date my younger brother paid him in the screenshot (2nd May 2021).

Check the date he updated me that the fence was 90% completed (16th of May 2021).

That is how many days?

Maybe I don't know how to count 8 days again, at least you can't change the date on a previous chat.

It was to last 1 week.

You must be a clown.

I still have my questions above you have failed to provide evidences to, but here you are jumping about on irrelevant things even though they are still lies.

Oops this guy no sabi lie

n3xt:
You mean the lie they had to come up with when nairaland victimization didn’t work out.

May I ask to know how many people shared in the fictitious N5m recovered?

Smiles.

you mean the settlement out of court? Still paying the debt remember?

They gave u chance you blew it!!! Face it man your time is up! Somehow is a bit gentle on yoi though

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.

When are you going to take responsibility of your misdeed?

So it’s the qs that’s wrong now? Pathetic. Very pathetic.

A lot of people won’t say anything… but they know who you are already…

Keep appraising yourself

I am not without a heart...or conscience I feel you...what does such expression I responded to help with issues Was any solution suggested ??rather it has been snide and berage of attacks...I have been here longer than most people...getting involved when you don't have all information??

do you have the full information more than what we know? Then share it… we all know that project Was abandoned.. project that he was paid to execute… has he reach out to the client for resolution? No he hasn’t !!! Rather he prefer to be ditching out pictures and advice here.

You can give him your project sir. Let see how he will handle it. I know a couple of good Engr here without any issue for the past 15years…

dongc:
This is just over the top...seems personal now...

I don’t understand you chief, can you put yourself in those clients shoe? Or he should also do the same to you then let’s see how you will react? This doesn’t affect only him sir… it also affect a lot of us on this street…client will be skeptical about given out jobs to others here…

Has he sorted oga somehow? I am 100 percent sure the answer is no… quite unfair.

Epzilon:
Another one bites the dust

we won’t heard the gist cause the clients are not on the forum

Hii

Jeff68:
@Damilaresimon25 - pls. Before you talk, think! Why should I teach a professional hired to do a job, collected money! how to do his job? Or if you are the same person, why should I teach you how to do a job you collected money for? Just how did I tarnish his image? By stating a fact? Pls, I already felt for the young man, and withdrew my comments, don’t make things worse.

Ogami you don’t need to will draw anything.. trust is that’s not what you paid for… forget those who are sugar coating it… if you can do a new one.

somehow:
Mediocrity and quackery must never be allowed to run free.

We are always wondering why this country is the way it is, yet there are people who find joy in being quacks and mediocre because they know there are like minds ready to wave the "please na" flag forgetting how long it took the owner to make the money being thrown away.

If you're an apprentice, remain one, if you're not a professional, stay away from parading yourself as one.

By the time one or two quacks are punished the right way, others will sit up, it's a matter of time.

Angels won't make this country better if we allow rubbish to keep happening.

Rightly said… someone is here praising the rubbish the guy did… meanwhile he has different presentation in his profile picture

Jeff68:
Please house, I bring this matter to this forum because I engaged this person on here, I am totally lost for words and seriously disappointed with work done by [b][/b]Alphamale Bio Digester. Apparently, he copies work done by others online and post it as his work! because this is what he did at my site! Photo & video attached, nothing close to what he posted on his Facebook page! I honestly expected what I saw online. unfortunately, that was not the case. I engaged him to do 2 of these, and from the start I had concerns, he kept saying “everything will be well, he has been doing this for 3 years”., he is not new at this” but when I got to the site yesterday, this was what I saw, I was so disgusted I can hardly stand, the other artisans on site were dying laughing at my reaction because they told him.
Now to the facts, I have already paid 200k for 2 out of the 350k I was billed for 2. This was suppose to be casted, he used blocks, dug a hole and buried blocks to absorb the water, I told him I had doubts about that working, he said he will add some chemicals, he added some coconut shell! I am still owing 100k, but based on what I have seen on ground, I will have to start all over again. Honestly, the level of unprofessionalism is shocking for what he expects me to pay 350k for. There is more, but I am so pissed off! Please your opinion because he actually thinks he did a good job!

What is this? You should ask for a refund damn.

This stuff that look like burial ground….
