The terms of engagement determines who bear the brunt.

If the contract is to “supply, install and test/commission” a project, timely delivery of materials is very critical.

Late delivery of materials can lead to project delay and cost overrun in some other cases and such is not treated as an excusable delay.

For us at NextHome, we always factor in excusable delay (sickness, accident, pandemic, disputes, or even omo onile wahala) into every contract.

QSFemi:
Building and any other construction job is a contract either willfully entered into or not. The moment a contractor or builder submits a quotation to undertake a job for a client in exchange of remuneration, a contract is already established that's binding on both parties - client and contractor.

The reality of this scenario will come to limelight when there is a disagreement or dispute between both parties. So, a contractor's quote, project working drawings, specifications are all contract documents tenable in a arbitration or even formal court.

That's why clients and contractors are encouraged to engage the right professionals for every suitable of the project during pre-construction (pre-contract) and during and after-construction (post contract.

A typical scenario:

A and contractor entered into a contract unwittingly, say in March, before the dire consequences of Covid-19. The client pays 30% of the contract sum to the contractor as mobilization fee. Due to Covid-19, construction was suspended for about 4 months. Now, construction is about to be resumed on site and the contractor discovered that prices of virtually all materials needed have hiked by over 15% as against his quote.

Question:

Who bear the responsibility of this increase?

amalab30:
Patiently waiting.

while solar and wind sources are here and the future but huge investment is needed . femi otedola already DE-invested in oil and investing in power energy.again america do have many functional refineries...Targa Resources just built new one in Texas...even Marathon Oil in Garyville, Louisiana. building brand new to add to their existing capacity ...dont forget the Dakota access pipelines ...even with huge disruptions..it is still oil ...investment and leaders with foresight .

Most refinery are gradually diversifying to industrial chemicals production, I wonder where he will sell or import to, Toyota already stopped production of diesel engine in Europe and all their models now come with half electric and half petrol of minimum Euro6+ engine specifications, 2021 will be a crucial turning point that will see rapid phasing out of combustion engine etc.
Dangote is just being pressured to build those refineries, a smart business man knows the future of Petrol and diesel is bleak, unless he has plan to diversify into industrial chemicals in the future.

I wonder what guide our policies makers decision to embrace outdated, expensive and environmentally unfriendly project.

Could you imagine the amount of energy we could generate if we set up windmills and solar panels energy parks on land and sea? Yeah! I remember, We couldn't because politicians still consider it a complex rocket science..... and there are quiet Nigerian professionals all over the world that could make it work back home with the RIGHT SUPPORT.

Soon here, home glass windows will be generating solar power.

Those were natural talents, architecture were way different and complex than now, and their results have stood the test of time with minimal signs of wear and tear and their durability and substances still rivals modern builds.

Pic1. It's a friend family house that was built in 18th century, it still stands today, look just look at those thick walls..... that's how they overcame harsh winters and summer (warm in winter and cooler in summer)

I appreciate modern technology but I can't resist the curiousity of visiting and getting to learn and understanding how everything started and what they went through to get humanity this far.....it took me to Mercedes (undisputed Daimler - Benz) in Stuttgart where automobile started and Ferrari in Italy who turned the heat up. Like they all agreed, it was not just about making money but National and personal PRIDE.

While we still scramble for petrol and diesel cars others are already moving past that stage and making electric cars the new normal.

Manipulating those lines, angles and arcs can be nerve racking, above that you must memorised all symbols and represent all sections accordingly (whether solid or cut through)..... This generation are so lucky, CAD programs like ZWCAD, ZW3D, CADPROFI and ZWBRO has made it more easier as long you understand what you are doing.

EgunMogaji2:
In my opinion a duplex is part of the foundation that I seek for my ultimate protection.

omanzo02:
CAM is more intriguing! Human has perfected Artificial Intelligence to utmost precision.

bigblow:
I am actually following the thread to discuss anything and it has been really helpful. I will also go follow these ones you listed as well. Hopefully, i could manage my cost effectively henceforth.

omanzo02:
You better keep them well, Those are precious educational souvenir..... students and folks of these day don't value legacy anymore...... now a Faber Castell grafic set of platinum pencil would cost you about 150k.

omanzo02:
If you didn't have those brands then you felt like the gods of precision haven't answered your prayer.... Those brands are technical drawing icons and still exist till date.

gbadexy:
Sounds like a plan . Problem is time frame to get more if a customer wants more urgently.
If I can get a good location to display, we can do business together.
Maybe a bit higher than the cost you gave though So it won't seem like you are being taken advantage of.
By the time you gain trust of people and you are consistent and honest, you will make very good business and connections here and offline.

Aforxzy:
Yes to correct the unevenness in the foundation.

Nettuno:
Yes 6 inches block. It is an old building under renovation/reconstruction

EXPERT'S ADVISE ON BUILDING CRACKS

Regardless of construction type, walls crack because they are overloaded or because the structure has settled or heaved. Vertical and angled cracks are usually caused by settlement or heaving. Horizontal cracks are caused by lateral pressure.

In your case, since the cracks are wider at the top than the bottom it’s an indication of settlement. Ill suggest you talk to an expert/structural engineer to diagnose the cause and severity of these cracks.

Since age 10! let me take you as mentor sir

Abolarin91:
Talking about courtyard; I didn't meant it should be in a simple 3 bedroom. Like someone mention an hospital and the likes, the darkness in this 3 bedroom can be reduced that is my point sir.

I agreed to the bolded part, experience is paramount.

Nettuno:
Greetings experts in the house.

Please what could be the cause of the cracks on this wall. Construction is still on going. Just finished the Parapet and about to do wood work/roofing.

What might be the best way to solve this crack already showing? Thank you for any help/advice.
