Nothing but the truth your honor... grin

You all saw the pics of the roofing sheet. that's was what he used. not what he quoted for us. and about 5 Nairaland roofers I sent to fix the roof when it was leaking confirmed the gauge to be 0.3

See I have fixed the issue and after that we don buy and fix other distressed properties. I just hate him gloating about my project and acting like my dog is just barking for no reason.


Can the Bolded Testify to your claims on this Thread! I would appreciate it if you bring em on.

So someone called me to ask how do we settle this once and for all.

I told him na you dem go beg no be me.
That if brabus and 3strikes could make up, 80% of nairaland properties’ brouhaha will be solved.

I guess I spoke your mind.

The truth is you no go fit gimme kola make I chop am cos of the very ugly events of the past.

But it’s not impossible if we work towards it. grin

________

Mind you, I don’t cut corners. Your roof is:

- 0.55 step tiles
- it is step tiles roofing and not long span roofing as you claim. A professional roofer can see the step tiles corrugations. See the white marks on the pic below.
- the person who plastered the house for you messed up the sheets by placing planks on it while plastering the pent.
- Your issue is completely error in design and you’d always be having issues in the 2 first floor parapet wall area and not on the pent floor.

Always come to class next time and don’t always sit at the back sir.

A few month ago, we talked about flat roof and some school of thought felt it’s the cheapest type of roof.

I remember saying if done to standard, it’s not cheap.

This is flat roof installation in one of my old project.

Is this cheap?

Flat roof is cheap not relative to itself but relative to hip roof, gable roof or hip and valley roof.

If this same roof is done to standard for a hip roof or gable roof or hip and valley roof with same material, your cost outlay will be more.

Don't get me wrong, flat roof has its purpose and relevance in some situations but done to standard or not, technically speaking, flat roof has a higher propensity to fail periodically over time than hip roof for example.

Flat roof na high maintenance babe.

Smiles.

My current build has the owner-builder approach. The owner is the Project Manager and he appoints a private consultant to monitor day-to-day activities on site. So my reports here are just news flash. There’s someone taking notes and records of happenings every hour of the day.

The mistake most folks here make is to appoint a builder and make him “the skipper” and the “the umpire” on a project. The guy will just be awarding himself a penalty.

If you do the owner-managed approach, you’d be scoring an own goal every day.

I’ll share something interesting very soon. It’s about blocks. The owner of this build is supplying materials while his engineers are just using what he’s supplying.

Guess what! the blocks aren’t standard block sizes
.

Pictures coming shortly.

I decided to measure blocks supplied for a building project happening next to my ongoing build and I was shocked to see that 4 whythe (also called coaches in layman term) of block on my neighbors project is 4 inches lower than mine.

https://youtube.com/shorts/xk0EpOdNSl0?feature=share

What this literally mean is that 12 whythe (coaches) of block on my build is the same as 13 coaches on my neighbors build.
This poses no structural issue on the build but it’s a complete rip off.

https://youtube.com/shorts/rSVaPCQFdT4?feature=share

This has opened my eyes to always pay attention to dimension and sizes when I’m buying any building materials from retailers/local businesses.

People will do anything to rip you off. It’s your job to pay close attention to what you’re being supplied.

2 days ago, I learnt how to scale bag of nails and the number of measures to expect in one bag.

I get your point here.

If I decide to do a hidden hip roof with steel truss and parapet wall, it’ll cost more than a flat roof.

You’re right on maintenance cost and chances of failure. The cost of maintaining a bad design can be very depressing.

I want to say a big thank you to Mr Adedward. I am really impressed with your work (aluminum windows) on my project and your professionalism. Even without meeting you in person, you delivered on our agreed time and offered valuable advice. Mr Adedward is trustworthy and dependable. I recommend him to anyone wanting to do aluminum windows because with him you are safe. I will definitely do more jobs with you in the nearest future. Weldone sir.
