Thanks Hajji Muftau for facilitating the digging out of this guy. Yes he has committed to finishing the work by next week. He confirmed that he abandoned the work because the project sum we agreed to could not finish the work. He could have come back to me and plead his case instead of abandoning the project. Has Hajji mentioned we came to an agreement for a variation in project sum and he is committed to completing the job by end of next week.
I will keep you all posted if he does not come through on his commitment.
Thanks
This is not an excuse in my opinion, you cant abandoned the job just because price raise along the way. When he did that what did think will happen to his repetition? even with his repentance, his name as been stain. I don't understand why most of these young guys act as if they are senseless.

The N9000 premium may be considered as reward for the carpenter's time and effort sourcing the materials. If you consider the opportunity cost of your time and the attendant risk involved like carrying cash about, there may not be money enough for that beer.

Yes it should be encouraged sourcing one's materials, but it should also be encouraged not to sweat the small stuff.
Pls let get your English right, are you saying Egun should let the guy getway with the 9k? Men can you imagine when I bought my about 600 plus mix woods, 100 here 50, there add up.That difference could pay for his labour. This is the problem we have as people, most see nothing wrong with little stealing.

The problem with anything wireless is that they are highly vulnerable to spyware hacking. Cellphones and PCs etc have counter-measures, but not home gadgets.
So like everything else, ur trading this for that.
One rule of thumb is, the more affluent u get, the less wireless you should go.

By the way, pls take note that DSS censor high end monitoring devices (like CCTV) entering Nigeria.
It is also a punishable offence if you have CCTV , electric fence, guard dogs, etc without a visible warning sign.
Stop if its a joke, in Naija when do they make these law?

I know my brother... Fact is that I never recommend anyone I have not used personally. Sova just blew it.
When @Rotecch77 was piping my plumbing. he actually told me to pay him when he finishes the job and that
was close to 1m, that is what I call trust because he knows I will never run away with his money, but I paid him
some money upfront because I know he will need to buy materials and gave him the balance when the job was
completed.
@Aventures used some of his money when I was doing my decking, not that I don't have the money but because
he trusted me and was well paid in the end.
I never start a stage on my build without having enough to do the job.
There are still good people around... we just need to find them. And Yes, even in Nigeria.

Hajji M.
@Aventures is one of the most humble Naija guy I ever did business with at distance, don't get me wrong there are many like him right here on these forum too. Spyder880 that name na BABA I mean in the last 4-6 years none any negative story about him that I know, I believe he has build more houses than any builder in this forum. I stand to be corrected especially in the east. Their are more younger professionals that have proven themselves to be the best at what they do, like abdulwastecx, rotech77, segzy14, skimanski, and many more. There is another finest builder with first two letters BITWORKS, or something.

Well said but we should also understand Human Mind set, I do not know majority of my client(s), most are majorly in diaspora.

I have most time said it here House owner should buy their materials themselves, there should be supervising supervisor(Engineer or Builder), Security or selected people in or around the site of construction. By doing all this the word checkmate is already taking place. Pay in phases majorly milestone.

Be fully ready at it:
Foundation
Block setting to Level
Suspended Slab(Decking)
Block setting to level
Roofing or second suspended slab(Decking)
Window Fixing
Plastering
M&E fully
Tiling
Painting

I have deliver to a site where the Engineer on site told me to drop 100bags of cements and directing me to take the other(200) to his order site, I called the client, informed him that is the end of his contract with the client.

I am not paid before the delivery, am also protecting my money, same time i do not know who is acting as client on site, so i have to be careful, becos the client i do not know from Adam.

I supervise a Building(8units of 2Bdroom) Gbadexy did the Painting, Client used divided and rule alltru the Project. I was supplying materials, supervising the Engineer and making all payment.
That is the name of the game, divide and rule. I did two project in 2years, I never spent 10 minutes on either site till now. 1 is 90 percent done, the other is @ 70 percent. Many of the workers never saw me or will ever know who I Was. Everything was done on phone and whattup that is power of technology for you. Make used of it for right purposes.
