You are wrong, no concrete poured inside is just hollow blocks you can see the blocks in the image below

Edit: i personally took those pictures
ok if you say so but if you look at the blocks on the ground they are the unused ones or ones removed as per leveling.try and see where the joints are with the bricks you will notice they are seamless (Almost)

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.
"Time frame"
This is the soul of every contract.
If it is a contractor's fault to execute a project within the agreed time frame, he may be penalised, now if there is a hike in prices of materials outside the time frame, he bears the responsibility.

To all artisans out there.
Time is as important to your client as the charges is as important to you (artisan).
If an artisan delays a job and it extends beyond the agreed time, such artisan must be held responsible even for the hike in prices of material.
This is coming from my own sch of thought.

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.

ask ur client, am happy is here too, he is the one dat said he wants to help me out of the broken glass, I put 20k and he willingly give me 25k I didn't force him, he said he want to help me, as we know dats it's not possible to brake glass by my self, it's only mad man will do something and brake it by him self, so u free to ask ur client thanks

Talking about load bearing blocks this house was built without any pillars.
Nothing is impossible sir. Mind you, there must be a structural drawing that guides such erection.
Structural part of a building is quintessential, especially when the build is more than a floor.
Materials for building construction are vital.

Note:
Look at stadia na, columns no dey scatter around.

I once signed a contract where I agreed with the client that N50,000 would be the penalty to pay for every week I extend beyond by schedule.

In the same manner, I let him understand that N50,000 will be the penalty to pay if my payment gets delayed by 1 day.

Guess who default? grin

Eventually compassion com trump logic grin

In few hours, I’d commence fabrication of my roof trusses not because I can’t do it in May 2021 and still meet my target but because I have a schedule to meet and I hate surprises. The fabricator will move to site and commence work with me.

Managing complexities is something missing in most of our projects.

That’s why locally made doors are trending in the contemporary space.

You can get 100 years cedar if you meet professional door makers. I know a few in Banana Island
