twinskenny: Ok...so what is your solution? Police? Did he ask for variation in fees already negotiated ?..how do you move forward |

n3xt: Pay him the 50k when all the FACTS are pointing to the opposite direction? Na so the money dey shack you? They (client and twinskeeny) must have assessed the situation to come to that conclusion. I don't believe they 'assume'. 2 Likes |

diordaves: If he does not move another equipment to site, don't give him any more money. 50k is not even enough to pay the laborer's that will work with him if actually he is coming back. There are other details like submpump. who is buying that? Was it bought yet? You may have to make out time, if he come with the excuse that he needs to hire another equipment with the 50k, tell him you will follow him to the place and pay the money directly the people and collect receipt. Las las you can get someone else to go pick the machine and do your job if he defaults or ask for refund. Don't ever give another money until you see another equipment on your site. First clarify the issue of the equipment before any other discussion. Find out how he intend to go about it. He might come up with story that he needs more money to repair the broken equipment, don't beat a death horse. Tell him to rent, you will pay to rent another one. If it is more than 50k to rent, then the additional money is sacrifice you have to make. 1 Like |

dongc: he didnt ask for variation, police said they will pick him up next week. i think the best thing to do is to get another driller on site to finish the job.. well to me its like a new job but since the client has bought some materials the fee should be minimal.. we cant afford to give him another 50k that time @brabus since we already discover that the guy is not straight forward... i actually offered him 30k and he should source for 20k to finish up but he refused! |

Where is the location of the site? What are the soil conditions because this will inform the choice of foundation to be used? What's the area of the proposed building? If you can answer these questions, then an approximate estimate can be made for you. ollykay619: |

diordaves: And what FACTS do we have to reach this conclusion when it’s not like the borehole guy is here to give us his own side of the story? Here’s a question for you “Do you expect the guy to keep his faulty equipment (or the faulty equipment he hired from another company) on your site for a month?” The guy hasn’t asked for any additional cost. He simply (according to Twinskenny) want his balance before he can move to site which is no big deal for me so long the job is done to satisfaction. I’ll use that N50k to draw him out and make him an offer that he cannot refuse. __________ I’m still speaking for me 1 Like |

Some few years back, a woman (a little older than me) approached me to report her husband to me and asked me to talk to him as I’m one of his close friend. She talk plenty about her husband’s insensitivity and how she has always been the one doing most stuffs in the house bla, blah... I smiled and asked her a simple question “Aunty, do you want to be right or you want to be married?” If you want to remain married, you must be prepared to make some concession and stop listening to those who are giving you wrong advice. That was the end of our discussion. __________ Once again I’m asking “Do you want to be right or you want your job to be finished on time?” ___________ Good Night! My name na Brabus 2 Likes |

twinskenny: What if the police ask you to give him the N50k balance which is almost a 90% probability because that’s the only way they can extort money from the guy. I’m speaking from experience. Or izzit like you just get to police station, they’ll lock him up and money will just come to complete the work? Or the job will just be concluded without extra spend? Anyway, we learn everyday! 1 Like |

n3xt: Baba, I've had my share of wonderful diaspora clients. Even a handful I'm still working for at the moment. Likewise some dubious and pompous fellows. Many years back when I was still ignorant, right here on Nairaland, with my interior enterprise, I execute diaspora client's projects without mobilization. Since the story has always been how vendors default on agreements, then I decided to get payment only when projects are 100% completed and accessed, since I personally can get materials from my suppliers and pay later. This made me to win a lot of client's trust, but reality sets in when some clients started defaulting. I was almost ran out of business which made me to start doing things differently. Millions of naira still pending till date. 5 Likes |

sonnie10:The question wasn't complete. @sinorte, painters prefer the cleaning is done after they are done. This may be because they don't want to do any cleaning of the mess they leave behind. They could easily touch stained walls while cleaning their mess. Walls may be stained while cleaning after painting is done and with no painter and exact color for the part stained available, it would not be easy unless it's a cleanable paint. |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by n3xt(m): 8:27am On Jul 24, 2021 |
gbadexy: For me, I do painting before and after post cleaning. It depends on how much you’re willing to spend.
