good day bro, you once wrote about using goodwill floor tiles. Pls did they fade over time? Am about buying them. Thanks

The Boko Haram ones are still good in the living areas. The bathroom ones are a slight disaster however I am not sure of the make but I can pull up old videos of the install later to ascertain. The faded and the colors did not match. I am jejeli going to go with imported tiles on "Casa Ava - The Finishing" https://www.nairaland.com/6662165/casa-ava-finishing

If the wall is screeded, you may use matte or satin depending on budget and preference for sheen. Both are cleanable.
If the wall isn't screeded, you may prime and use the two types of paint as above.
Otherwise, you may use regular emulsion. No screeding or priming is required.

Shoutout to all those who use these miscreants to victimize their contractors. Your fanboy is a super fraud.

Take guns away from these guys and see how useless they are.
You need to see how one of them was begging me during an orderly room trial by the X-Squad at the force headquarter when they came up with the fictitious N5m fraud claim against brabus.

Useless set of people!

Like Hushpuppi, like Kyari. Just listen to the weak defense of the super fraud

So what’s the update on the borehole saga? It’s another 2 weeks after the issue was raised.

Engineer, it’s unfortunate that you have to go through this. If I may suggest, why not yield to the guy’s demand for the balance to be paid, so that he can have funds to finish up the job. He’ll sign an undertaking for you before the balance is paid. he’ll closely monitored and would be picked up if he defaults.

In as much as want this resolve am sorry to say that you are not doing it the right away, first you never called or message me to ask how far I have gone yet you came here to make claim? Not good enough sir….

this would have been easier if the client is on ground… I wanted to give him the 50k but the motive wasn’t right since there is no one with him

35k to track

I hope you know the police can’t keep him for more than 24 hours.

Maybe the guy would spend another 20k to bail himself. Has this solved the problem? Maybe or maybe not?

To think the guy is asking for balance of N50k... undecided

the problem is not the balance sir, balance was offered to him with a condition he mobilized to site, but he absconded... he said with his mouth that he will need more than the balance to finish the job... he has refuse picking calls...

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.


Now, it looks like this my initial suggestion is still valid

Good morning Bro!

Once again, it’s quite unfortunate that you both have to go through all these brouhaha.

Here’s one thing I’ve learnt in this trade, in order to have a worry-free experience when working on your building project, patience, tolerance and understanding must co-exist.

To be honest, you’re not impatient, delusional, or unrealistic to feel extremely frustrated right now but just like I’ve been preaching here - be the matured one on this.
Every construction project will always come with lot of ups and downs and periods where it seems like nothing is happening. Things will take longer than expected. Mistakes will be made. Communication will be poor.
Be prepared to make some concession and keep rocking your boat amidst the storm. At the end it will all be worth.

____________

There’s no perfect project but you can chose to have a great experience by making few concession.

It’s not always a money matter!

Managing Procurement is one area everyone who calls himself a professional ought to pay attention to.
It is unfortunate this project went south.
The cost has been sunk. Trying to recover that money might take forever while the project suffers, the client loses time and more money.

Oga Micgray if I were you, I will forfeit that money and source for someone to do my job on good monitoring.

Why is it that we hardly see a client ask their contractor/subcontractor/artisans “Is money the problem?”

I know I’ve had to deal with issues where the client tell his contractor “Shebi, you saw it before you gave me estimate?” “I paid you what you asked me!” “That’s my budget.”

Let’s reflect on this.

________

If you buy iron rod at N100k per ton last month and the same cost N200k this month, would you buy it or tell the supplier that’s what you budgeted for the project and you’re not paying more?

If you DIY your project and one of your tool of trade got faulty in the process, will you spend additional cost to repair the faulty equipment/tool or chose not to shift ground until the equipment maybe fixed itself?

Why then do we dramatically hold different standards for owner-managed projects and contractor-managed projects?

_________

Before you say contractors/professionals should know, “How many of us knew the cost of steel will go up by almost 80% in just 6 months?”

How many of us knew the price of 9 inches block will increase to N300 + in less than 8 months?

Let’s stop fighting each other and start dealing with the harsh realities of the Naija economy.

__________

Happy New Month!
