It does sound like 'recomender' is same as 'recomendee' but this coming from a competitor, a roofer is suspicious. Learn to take the back sit sometimes or else you appear desperate for a deal.

Is Hslbroker same as mountmoriah and registerin? We need a convincing proof that it's same person or not. Can any of NL mods help us out. Lawyer we need you here.

Lool. Sorry please I don't want any drama ooo...

I'M NOT A COMPETITOR TO HSL OR ANY OTHER PERSON.

I haven't accepted a roofing job on Nairaland for the past 2 years.

Infact, I'm not sure I've accepted any construction job on Nairaland in the past 2 years.

I just come here like every other person.

I only said the sentence construction is similar.

Caveat: I'm all for peaceful and fair resolution of any issues arising.

I will open your ass here now, you will regret, foolish animal, are you not a competitor here? one more rubbish from you, I will expose you.

No, this not hslbroker, this seun or lalastic idiot, you think am here begging for contract like you.

It takes one to know one, that means, if I have your time, I will proof that you have more than 10 usernames here.

So you have finger prints of how people talk, your new tactics to get customers, your madness is from mars or Pluto the dwarf in brain.

The bolded is exactly how things should operate. But when you deal with cheap guys, everything becomes an issue. They’ll turn even the certified professionals into baba lati pro max

I once did a job here as far back as 2012, the clients were paying 300k per stage to the consultants double-checking my job. Their job wasn’t to criticize the builder but to make thing right and ensure there were no compromises. Everything went smooth because they did the right thing.


After engaging a qualified 'Engineer' to carry out the works, the issue I have with paying for additional professional oversight (in Nigeria) is that the buck always seems to fall somewhere in the middle. It's not a question of 'being cheap', particularly if the benefits and safety nets operate as intended.

Do they have professional indemnity insurance that will compensate you gabadaya when things go wrong? No. They tend to pass the buck to the contractor (or Baba Lati) and engage you in an endless loop of recriminations.

As a tangential example, you engage a QS, who produces fancy costings and pretty spreadsheets - then you end up spending twice the amount (without significant variation in market conditions or work scope), you kinda lose heart.

So, I think professionals need to up their game, share project risks. Not just hope to collect fat fees and move on to the next client.

Good day.

LOL “harassment” “shell”

A storyteller that’s always ready with stories, mostly imagined, fabu unlimited. You would have been entertaining if you weren’t so bereft of morals.

Textbook sociopath is what you are, it’s who you are brabus/ brabusng / n3xt. No real intellect either, fraudsters thrive on the trust of others because without trust, they would not give you their money. That you can deceive does not make you smart, it just emphasizes your absolute lack of a moral compass. A person who steals from others is a common thief, no amount of packaging can hide that.

The fact that you are back here peddling the same trade you did years back is testimony that crime does not pay. Imagine an armed robber being so desperate as to go back to the scene of the crime to rob again.

Your insecurity and lack of any self esteem or self love is what has reduced you to the poor, disgraced version of yourself you’ve become. You have been so oppressed by the monied all your life that you think stealing so that you can belong can gain you any form of credibility. Newsflash! Since you still have not gotten it. Fraud is not the solution. The day you learn to eat from honest sweat is the day you become a MAN!

Talking about armed robbers, that time the iron seller had you locked up for a couple of days? You really should know by now that crime absolutely does not pay


Why is my instinct keeps telling me this person is Brabus as well. grin grin Maybe I had too much drink overnight Sha. We move

Split Bamboo 10 times stronger than 16m rebar? ok na. Becareful what you hear o and if possible unhear what you've heard.

Awon alternative building materials and minimalist geng [/i]gone loco. Especially for South Asia.

Na so one el loco Taiwanese developer in a desperate bid to save cost and cut corners come use empty [i]Ororo
cans take do columns and called it alternative building technique and minimalist approach. Na so small breeze blow during an earthquake, house toppled over like a house of cards.

But money was collected to develop a building that would absorb an earthquake. The developer probably thought earthquake is rare and may never happen, so nobody will find out but faith had a different plan. People died, children died not from the earthquake but from the pretend minimalist approach.

Hello guys,

We are planning the casting of a slab that will serve as an outdoor rooftop terrace. this is not a roof slab but a fully exposed slab.

Pls what are the other options of treatment/chemical/admixtures that can be mixed with the concrete during casting to help the slab withstand all the harsh weather conditions it will be exposed to over a long period.

Note: Post-casting and during finishing, proper waterproofing will still be done and the surface tiled. Just thinking of a double/triple pronged mitigation plan.

Any recommendation/suggestion welcomed.

Thanks


Admixture in the concrete + Bituminous felt + properly sloped slab with provision for drain + tiles properly installed with sealant should suffice.

You could also check the below link, they seem to have a variety of solutions.

Cribking1 paid me on Thursday 11th, Feb. 2021 for the materials to cover his house, I did the roofing carcass, I was the one that also supplied the woods

Immediately I received the payment, I forward the money to the company I'm ordering or buying from I have trusted their materials for 10 years now, good quality shingle, but the exact color and design they have at their Depot in mainland was not up to the quantities we need, so they said they will get the rest from their office on island so I waited for them till evening, I can't be paying extra transport for Installers to come and join me at Ibadan while we can easily go together with the van that will convene the roofing materials.


So, I waited for all them to complete so we can move the next day on Friday, so we left on friday 12th, and I was updating my client Cribking1 of my movement, along Lagos ibadan express way there was terrible traffic to the point that it took us many hours before we even get to ogere, then the gasket of the van got burnt due to over heating, tired my best to get the same van to Ibadan because of cost but not possible so I concluded I need to transload the goods to another vehicle, wish I eventually did. Then, by the time we would get to toll gates with the workers with me, it was already late, but I was updating my client and next a nairalander he called me about the issue wish I was updated him, never knew oga @Cribking1 had set nairaland on fire while I was working for him striving to satisfy him, remember one of my carpenters still on site waiting for me, if I want to defrauded Cribking1, will I leave my carpenter on site to wait for me capital No.

Then as we approach Iwo road, vechiles are turn back due to shasa market yoruba/fulani ethics fight a close proximity to the sites, so we move forward and pass iwo road, on getting to one filling station before barracks junction, I can't remember the name that filling station now, on getting there we saw about 10 military men and about 30vechiles parked around them the drive insist we should stop relax and wait the next morning, so they won't burn his vechiles, materials and people inside because from what we had they are burning houses, vechiles and people too, wish later was true the next morning because I saw it with my own eyes the damages done because vandals.

Around 6.00am.in the morning we left to the site, we got there around 6.30am I called @Cribking1 to inform him about our arrival and I also notify @N3xt that was 13th Feb. 2021.

The following day on Sunday we completed the work I called @Cribking1 to inform him and also Inform @Next that the work is completed, I was under ban here on nairaland for no reason, reason why I can't comment on all what the client was saying but @next upload.the complete work on Sunday 14th, Feb. 2021.

Below is the picture of the materials when we offload it and when we start the work and finish the work

Now, after the completion of the work I called the owner that there some materials that is left on site I go out of my way to make sure we would not been needing any other extra materials so I won't be go and coming from Lagos to Ibadan to complete the work if there is needs of little materials, but he said he needs the remaining materials, wish i said ok.

If am dubious please will I tell him there is remaining materials, I won't because he was not on sites when we are leaving the site.

So since then I didn't hear from him.

So let us be mindful how we destroy people source of living, because there is karma, and before you pass judgement hear from both side the story

I sure do. If you check my 2014 thread, you’d see it there https://www.nairaland.com/1844876/plot-10ab-haven-reserve-agungi/1#25892678

On this particular build, I had to take my boards to a sawmill to saw into sizes as my main operator is currently in Benin.

We just land back in Lagos so this is just our “Hello Testing”
