Adedward, I have been quiet for years now about you and I CANNOT believe you!! Are talking about integrity! You do NOT want me to open the book on you. You did the very same thing with me! Plus others!
all I just want is to pay my debt, that is why I brought the matter here, I don't want too much talk with him, because he can't insult you or even molest you, how can him went ahead to collected additionally N25k for the glasses the client did not broke before he went to fix the broken glasses, he was the one that broke the glasses not focusmind and Edward make sure he didn't go back and fix that windows for over 7 months until he collected N25k for the damages not cause by the client before he fix the broken glasses, and he thought people here are fools.

He need to return that N25k back to focusmind because was not meant to pay for damages not cause by him, Edward broke the glasses, and he suppose to fix it by his own pocket, he runaway from the fixing for 7 months until he collected additionally N25k from my client because he have access to him and he knew I was indisposed.

so anything he tell the client his what the client will do.

My point is why did you collect that N25k, if you have integrity and fear of God Edward, are u suppose to wait for 7 months close to a year to repair what you spoilt and still collected money for doing it. it is unfair.

Adedward:
thanks for ur consign sir,
Let be clear to u
We discussed thick imported with hsl broker, so I don't know his client choice at all,
The additional money collected from hsl broker because of delay of his fund, for three months,
The additional collected from the hsl broker client was because he want nets to be sliding not permanent, and permanent was our agreement with hSL broker, thanks to be clear to u sir, u can ask both of them this thanks
My point is why did you collect that N25k, if you have integrity and fear of God Edward, are u suppose to wait for 7 months close to a year to repair what you spoilt and still collected money for doing it. it is unfair.

dapotemi:
I honestly don't have any prob with you, in fact you're the greatest and ONLY beneficiary from all of this and I say congratulations...
It was an unwise decision from hslbroker to have awarded the contract to you under any guise. He should have returned the money Tru any means to focus mind.
And to all artisan, when you get a job to execute a project, do it within the agreed time frame, once the price change, pls endeavor to return money to the owner.
The average mindset of a Nigerian is this, we will be happy if you come back to me and say, oga price don change for market, na your 100k be this but I fit do am if you go add 30k..This alone is INTEGRITY considering the environment we found ourselves.
please ask Edward why?

My point is why did he collect that N25k, if you have integrity and fear of God Edward, are u suppose to wait for 7 months close to a year to repair what you spoilt and still collected money for doing it. it is unfair.

if focusmind didn't give you that N25k, till now, you will not repair that glasses you broke, are you doing good to me that gave you the work or the client that gave me the work.

You need to return the N25k you collected from focus mind because you don't deserve it, he wasn't the one that broke the glasses you went to repair after 7 months, he had been on your neck, until you collected the N25k before you went to repair it 7 months after it was spoilt by you not the client or me.

all I just want is to pay my debt
I feel you baba.

Stressing over your debt(s) won't make them disappear faster. Changing your money mindset and stopping to operate from a place of fear will help alleviate your financial stress.

- Build up an emergency fund.
- Increase your income
- Stop worrying about the terrible pasts.
- Consider the whys behind your debts and make better decisions not to repeat the mistake again.

That’s why I told you to get back to your winning ways. There’ll always be one person who doesn’t give a f*uck about what anyone has to say about you and thats willing to help you.

Find that circle, they’ll help you maintain a positive focus. Be grateful for life! Some are dead or living dead.

All these back and forth will only drain you and it might maybe add meagre N120k to your pocket. Is that all you want?

Please kindly share what’s up in the construction world with us jare. Let’s talk business bro.

I have smoke detectors at the entrances to each room, in the hallway and a Carbon Dioxide detector near the kitchen.

I don’t have an automatic suppression system but do have fire extinguishers that’s rated for oil based fires in the kitchen.

I also have an openable burglary bar in one location.

Baba, there are cheaper alternatives here but I’ll advice you as a client not to encourage your baba lati to go out the way to proffer cheaper ways to build - you won’t find it funny.

If I have my way, I’d be producing beam blocks for lintels and also producing many other precast elements.

See below

Talking about those pictures.....


I hope there is a possible solution to those kind of disaster ? & it wouldn't amount to have to demolish the build?

|||
I stumbled upon a build at a friend's place where a -Slate- was used as Lintel Support. & Some doesn't have Lintel. In this same build A plumbing Pipe passed through (under the ground) a room to the toilet.

I was Shocked !

My Big Question Again : is there a proper way of correcting such disasters without demolition?

It’s not a shock to me,I have seen many shabby work like that.....what did you expect from quack Labour/ workmen couple with client who like better things and can’t dole out money for such.
That is the problem they will always encounter and “NO AMOUNT OF REPAIR CAN STAND GOOD QUALITY WORK FROM BEGINNING” it can only solved the problem 60-75pec

Well it can be corrected without much demolition, that is if expert handle it.

Edit...
Just a little cutting then introduce precast or Fresh cast-in-situ conc into the place

This matter of demanding for higher quality of
aluminum profile while asking to pay lesser price for it by some clients is somehow sad when you know already that quality come with a cost grin, and even outrightly telling you that some artisan who most don't know the actual cost of these high quality of profile, like tower, ebm, nigalex, glass tempering, metaalum etc offered to deliver it at a cheaper price is what is confusing me sometimes.
some artisan do lied to client about material quality and cost of delivering when actually its not possible to meet up to the specification , just because 'dey wan chop' as work no dey undecided

Most artisan/fabricator are only familiar with imported profile cost & works. cool


I do tell my clients I'm affordable but not cheap wink, because I don't compromise in work quality delivering. Good works = good payments

Not every job/client you as an artisan most collect By cheesy
You understand..

Artisan will tell client he will supply a 4x 4 (1.2 × 1.2m) Tower or EBM window for 35,000.

And you the Engineer will look like a thief because it cost 20,000 more to produce each one, hypothetically.


And since most clients don't know the difference, they just give them anything.
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by Gigaset: 10:52am On Apr 23, 2021
You are wrong, no concrete poured inside is just hollow blocks you can see the blocks in the image below
