Another reason one of your "ex-workers/partner" always call to beg for money stating you didn't pay him up to 20k throughout the project lifespan.

Wow!

Is the person in question a bricklayer? A carpenter? Iron bender? Concrete caster? Plumber? Electrician?

If he’s not any of the above, I’m too generous to even give him 20k because those jobs I listed above are the only thing I made provision for in my bill. I didn’t make provision for charities.

I’m happy if you keep him. I work with productive people and not those who have big muscles but are only good at doing back talks.

I don’t work with the ‘muyiwa ’ of this world. I don’t work with overgrown babies.

DUNKA:
This atrium you posted whose work is it?

Egbon, I cannot dignify all your post with a response.

Use google or phone a friend

somehow:
The world is seeing through our words and actions and are seeing the weak human here.

You're afraid of being alone once the others choose their bellies before you.

I guess I’m the one attacking everyone who chose to be objective rather than subjective.

Another tip to newbies :

There are some members on this thread that often times praise eachother and always "patronise" eachother.

These set of members hardly get praises or patronages from known reputable members (Be it builder, vendor or client).

Be very vigilant and take your time to note these tips before parting with your sweat.

Smiles.

Baba before you end up destroying innocent people on this platform. Just reflect on this, have you seen anyone from here working with me on a project?

Is it Nnamdi my roofer? Or clement my carpenter? Or Nixon my steel truss guy? Do anyone of them even know this place exist? Is it any of my suppliers?

You’re only increasing the likelihood of doing business with anyone you tag here.

You’re talking Horladorjah and I smile. The atrium I did last year, he did something super cool years before I brought mine here as a very young guy and you think he won’t go places

Issokay o!

I always use my platform to build other great people and I’m happy to engage them intellectually and support their business.

When you’re done destroying your perceived enemies and those not in alignment with you, please do business with your anointed ones. We will continue to patronize everyone around us.

God bless you!

What a lot of people are struggling to achieve is done effortlessly by this wonderful guys and you’re here rubbishing them.

Whatever you do is only revealing your weaknesses and not showing your strengths except you’re telling us bullying is your strength.

DUNKA:
Thought you had recruited him to join KOBOCITY? Is he not posting there again?

There’s no kobocity.com copy of the same post hence the reply here.

The grave mistake of procrastination. I believe the price just went up recently. Am I right?

Wow! What about metcoppo? 0.55mm

How much?

somehow:
So this is when you started working in the estate?

Or you don't understand "When we started" again?

I get your point sir.

Even before we break ground, there was fence already done by an independent contractor.

somehow:
Even if I visit once in 3 years, how's that your headache?

This is what you believed then when you kept lying to me about ongoing work without knowing I was on site multiple times.

Not like it matters but you lied, the perimeter fence are with raft when it matters.

Time baits you.

Just as they recommended strip foundation and you chose raft over their recommendation.

I hope this is not edited picture of fence

somehow:
The fence we are even planning to remove changed what?

There was no fence inside the estate when we started, oya post another lie.

No one else will fall for you on this thread with me on board.

I know you only visited the site just 4 times and only rely on they told me to tell you but I have drone shots of the estate to prove you wrong.

Even the perimeter fence of the estate was without raft. Let alone the fence of allocated plots done by other contractors.

Smiles.

Before and Pics of XL8

somehow:
English, common fence project got you erecting a huge signboard.

Bosun, you won't enjoy peace on this forum as long as I am on your case.

The more you type, the more you will prove to people what alot of us are saying about you.

Do you mean the fence that changed everything in the estate?

Before Brabus, all other fences were built without a solid raft foundation and reinforced concrete columns at every 3 metre interval until we changed the narrative? Prove me wrong sir.

They were even telling us “It’s not necessary!”

somehow:
Another tip to newbies:

Any project posted by him without his signboard boldly displayed in multiple places point to 2 things :Either stolen/unreal or he's just a vendor on the project (Maybe as a welder, tile supplier, paint supplier or knows someone working on the project).

What about non-disclosure agreement? Some client don’t want us to make noise.

michlins:
the major reason I haven't been back to the site is because of the distance and logistics.

I have enough jobs to keep me busy here so I don't need to stress myself again. I'm glad you know that I set a standard for you and your welder to copy.

Keep posting other people's jobs. No be today you began

At least you have the address. Go and help yourself!

somehow:
Tip to newbies:

When he was still on my project, he posted projects that weren't connected to mine on the project thread until I made him comment that it was a neighbour's project.

With this revelation, be alert and take all pictures posted by him as probable stolen pictures.

They’re Internet pictures.... even your build wasn’t done by me.

What matters is account is getting plumped. I don’t have control over what anyone chose to believe.

michlins:
The only sad thing is that someone will see all these proven cases of fraud and embezzlement and still want to give him a "second chance"

Forget packaging,him don spend his money finish and wants new ones.

Like this, this same guy asked me to relocate to his base that he has a job for me. He made me prepare a quotation and everything while there's no single block to his name. Thank God I didn't fall for his scam. Who knows what his plans were

My patrons understand the intent of every poster just as I do too.

I asked you to provide pictures of th shoddy jobs you found on my site. You couldn’t produce it because I said I’ll provide pictures and videos of the job you did and the correction we made. Which of course you know I’ll do without worries.

Asking you to provide bid for a job doesn’t automatically qualify for the job. It’s just an opportunity for you to expand.

Just for your records, I do not need your validation. I only provide platform for younger one to grow and I’m happy they’re all doing great!

My silence doesn’t mean I don’t know some things going behind the scene. We just keep silent because those who valued us won’t have to go through stress.
I was reliably informed about how you were struggling to get ordinary generator for your work when my generators have been working non-stop for the past 7 months.

Remember I called you for a tank tower job from one of the project that you did because we don’t take credit for other people’s work. I’ll ask you to revisit that same place where you worked and find out how many project my smart and cool-headed welder worked when I took him there (more than 13 back-to-back) From tank towersssss to gates, burglar proofs, steel structures, platforms, rails, carports etc.

____________

Even as I type, my welder informed me that a client of yours just contacted him to work on a project. I just pretend as if I don’t know wassup, the client is here reading.

____________

My welder is not on nairaland. He’s just one cool-headed smart guy who’s leveraging on my goodwill. I’m happy he did the Ìbàdàn job

____________

Take a visit to the project you worked on and find out what my goodwill has earned all those who worked for me and come back and give testimony.

You don’t hawk gold men.

Good morning my paddy!

somehow:
Why not stick there then if they're giving you jobs?

You already confessed you need to be here to make ends meet. Meaning your status viewers are just = status viewers.

I believe they know you better, hence their status viewing mode.

Sigh!

Are you implying my random posts can win clients?

Good night!

Videour:
at least this one will know the kind of person his about to do business with

Go ahead bro! I smile in Swahili.

I do not keep my stuff from my people and they’re here with you as well.

redgem:
I have an engineer... I don't know how to explain it..he doesn't listen to me and does what he wants (he knows better though but I ask for opinions here and when I relay it to him, he gets angry).

Typical!

Let him understand you’re not trying to teach him his job. You’re only trying to affirm his work by asking other people who have been there before you.

Our resident building fraudster is back again ooo..

BEWARE

How do you intend to reach the numerous followers of my Whatsapp status updates?

They follow my updates bumper-to-bumper

redgem:
It's a small 3 bedroom bungalow with 39ft by 49ft size.. Does it mean no one uses by 12ft in Benin?

That’s very small footprint na. I think you’re spending too much.

Some part of a building project are not for diy’ers. I think you should get someone to guide you.
Alternatively, post your building plan here and get an option quote from in-house roofers to compare price/quantities.

I didn’t pay more than 650k or thereabout for the woods used on the project below. It was supplied by @mountmoriah (https://www.kobocity.com/u/mountmoriah) on POD and I still have some quantities left on site.


________

I’m also roofing 2 building in Abeokuta this month end. I doubt we are spending up to 1.4m of roofing woods and it’s 3 unit of 2 bedroom x 2

redgem:
Yes, it's in Benin.... I immediately paid the supplier full amount he told me last week only to get a call that he went to the Bush this morning and the price has increased.

If you can conveniently afford the difference, agree in principle with him.
If you can’t afford the difference, see if you can get slight reduction in the price.

Let him bring the woods. Count it and pay him the difference.

Don’t waste your time on unfocused distractions!

__________

I don’t know the size of your build so I can’t tell if the amount you’re spending on carcassing is too much or not.

redgem:
Please I need answers and help... And must I use by 18ft because all the carpenters that gave me quotes mentioned only by 18ft but I see most builders here used by 12

I guess your project is in Benin cos that’s the standard roofing wood size there.

Use what your carpenters are comfortable with. I’d prefer 18ft wood too if we have it here in the south west.

As per pricing, I’d advice you make hay while the sun shine.

Lastly, chill out if need be to muster enough fund. You’re not in competition with anyone I guess.

God will replenish your purse.

As at today, 30 tonnes stone dust is now over 150k in a location where we bought it at just 90k last year.

Na money i never get, if not I like better things.

Every good things in life have a hidden cost. For me, it’s not money but perseverance.

There’s an old saying that goes “If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again.”
Perseverance is that thing that pushes you to stay on course and keep trying when all the odds are against you.

Impossible is not in my dictionary!

sonnie10:
Let me add this but I know our audience here won't like it. I have this small place on the Island that I want a contemporary design and was following the Atrium thread here for inspiration. However, along the line Spyder came up with another banger! His current work on a contemporary design in Anambra. I can't keep up with that guy! I have been following that one and have decided on it for the Lagos Island build. Coming soon!

Congrats! More bricks and mortar to your projects.

I also have 2 contemporary build in the pipeline. We kicked off one (SCH Haus by NextHome) in January and luckily my other client picked almost similar design which we are also working on.

https://youtube.com/shorts/9MYlPHRsghQ?feature=share
Here’s a video showing a Banana Island replica of the design.

That’s one the reason I’m shopping for 3D visualizers.

sonnie10:
He might not like the publicity due to his position in a government agency. However, design was actually inspired by one of Spyder880 works .

Well understood. I took a pass on a similar concept last month because the architect I contracted couldn’t replicate the design we wanted.

He gave me a very old and boring design with some funny pillars. I just knock it off.

Fortunately for me, the client later settled for a contemporary duplex.

________
Chairman Spyder is an authority in that space.

I reached out to ihebroke (magictouch) but he was directing me to a site with some ready-made plans

sonnie10:
Bids end soon for Aluminum glass windows for this edifice. Thanks for the quotes already received.

Nice!

Can you drop the contact of the architect who produced the design?

Thanks.

back2sender:
Fact/Knowledge finding

Please for those who has experiened this or have a knowledge , kindly share your experience

When you commission an architect to produce a building drawings for a client, what are ALL the documents the architect will provide to the client in line with Lagos state regulatory agencies guidng building plans etc?

The location is lagos
