I would have shared in ur opinion if I didn't go there personally and see depth of the problem first hand.. I went to he site.. Stood on the decking at point A. The engineer walked and took a little jump on point B and the whole decking bounced! I was even scared for myself! If not that the engineer was well grounded in the field he would have ended his contract there and then! As that wasn't initially what he was paid to do! He was paid to supervise block work, lintel and parapet works..

After the cost of corrections done over there.. I can't even afford to do parapet again.. As funds budgeted have been largely depleted on corrections!.

The engineer in question didn't charge a penny extra on his professional fees for the corrections he did as he knew that the issue was unforseen and already costing alot! I bought all the materials myself! So he the engineer didn't gain anything from pointing out an obvious issue!

Wow I can't believe this and to think my Inlaw and I almost called his number after recommendation from an associate.. But I said no let me come and investigate this Rotech on nairaland. Wow! This is unfair.Imagine putting my structure in LEKKI ajah in his hands and he won't be accountable for any issues.
Please he needs to reimburse at least half of the. 1.2 million before I will ever consider him that will justify he's an honest business man.
Kindly let us know on this platform how it goes it will really help.
Sorry again sir.
Oga ooooo!

Naijapal:


You just registered, oga.
Are you trying to intimidate him into refunding more than he's liable for?

GoodFaith:



You People grouping to together for BS
Why did you think he/she is here to intimidate?
Lots of fuckers here playing games
There are different type 419 and Yahoo-- Nairaland should not ne use for games
Anyway We Nigerians don't like doing thing the right way-- it's all about Nigeria
Nigeria is a dead country and buried 60 FT under

Hmmn, one tiring aspect of building, from the owners perspective is when you have made frantic effort to search for a supposedly qualified builder/engineer, negotiated, paid and what he does is just to assembly some local slowpoke called artisans together, take them to the site, mobilize them (with a very tiny fraction of what you paid him), and off he disappears! You won't see him again! He shows up only to ask for balance, this is my headache with you guys, all my friends and family that are building also have the same or similar situation...... Anytime I talk about engineers or even architect, experience friends and family member go just laugh, their thought, 'just assemble those artisan together and tell them what you want to achieve'... Your so called engr will most likely do the same... This method doesn't resonate with me, but it's just what it is..

I've fired the building supervisor for my project he took to roofing level because of a suck away he built whose slab is sloppy and other shortfalls too annoying to mention. He didn't know I was going to show up at the site on that day, he only mobilized some rookies to site and travelled to another town and those ones ended up doing a shoddy job. I practically was the one telling them what to do ... just imagine! Although, I've learnt my lesson.

Please let the person contact me.

Thank you.

Well, to me there's no "professional" in building as far as Nigeria is concerned. What the self acclaimed professionals do with people's projects is trial and error and the client ends up being the one teaching them what to do and even how to do it.
I handle my projects myself because I [/b]can't afford to pay a "professional" and end up supervising the professional. [b]

I wish people will learn how to go about their projects, then they would realize that the money they waste on foundation alone in the name of "professional this, professional that" would be enough to get them far into the project.

Above was funny to me , but seriously there are good reasonable professionals out there

If you have given rotech77 a job before.. Call another engineer to investigate the structural integrity of that building.. Perhaps he is just another baba lati charading as a professional!.. He doesn't care about ur building as far as he has collected his penny!

U must have a death wish if u contract someone who is ok wit ur decking bouncing like an overhead bridge..

DO NOT WORK WITH ARBO contractor! DO NOT WORK with ROTECH77..

Yes, but they won't stay... Why collect my money? The reason why I put your ass on the project is because I knew you're good and you're a professional. Why not sit your ass down and focus on my job if you've been paid and you agreed!

Most times, it is as a result of GREED, taking on too much jobs at a time.
You might be a very good professional, but when you delegate your responsibility, without proper supervision time, bad things will happen to your name.

I had the same experience with one of the contractors here on this thread. I paid him, he left his Workers to do the job but they were just slowing my work down and playing around because they said he was paying them on a daily basis and has been owing them for two weeks, despite having collected almost all the Amount billed for the job. I had to resort to giving them money from my pocket so that they wont delay my work any further, the fool was busy somewhere else but never opened up.

Best thing is to take only jobs you know you have the capacity and time to oversee.

In 2015, I wrote this but I’ve realized over the years that’s it’s very difficult for many people to comprehend my messages.

This explains the reason why I stylishly dodge finishing in my builds and focus more on carcass.

We’ve talked about engaging private consultants to oversee construction work done by contractors regardless their level of professionalism. It was right here that some folks claim there are pros here who do not require supervision.

Just for those who wish to learn, engaging a private consultant on a project isn’t done because you doubted the competence of your builder but to avoid regrettable errors. He’s there to checkmate what the builder is doing and to also validate the quality of work as each milestone is attained.

Imagine this was done on the issue raised above, one person would have spotted the error and request that the contractor correct his mistakes.

_______

We’ve recently also talked about number of jobs that a builder can undertake at a time. Some still felt those who are not answering every call in every villages in Nigeria are not “called of god.”

Some are moved by the busy works and activities.



_______

Lastly, we’ve seen builders who chose to focus on their area of core competence. It’s still here we see people looking for a key from a builder engaged to handle only carcass.

Brabus, l m sure, like everyone, you know that these Nairaland Quotes and Screen Shots you post, CANNOT BE INDEPENDENTLY VERIFIED, THAT THEY ACTUALLY EXISTED or are BEING FABRICATED.
How l wish you provide working links to them and w can independently go and read what transpired, since you dont miss an opportunity to always use such unverifiable Screen Snaps to defend yourself.

I think l remember that someone here accused you that you dont have a single Building, from Foundation to key-Handover, in your name and that is why you are seizing this opportunity to post the above.
Bad, sharp Warri boy

[s]Anyway, you did a lot of this sort of greedy, unprofessional mistakes in that 2014/2015/2016 period so, you can relate well with them so dont be an opportunist trying to use this single one of @Rotech 77, to take shine[/s].
