Its better to have a site assistant lets say a friend you trust to oversee the site activities such as buying and storing of construction materials as well as handling them when needed and checking to see that the materials were used appropriately. The person should have a knowledge of construction matters.

On your part, you should know how many quantity of materials needed for a certain stage.

You probably have to change your leadership style.
Your current management style is lassez faire and your workers have abused it. You probably have to be authoritarian going forward. You are not doing that project to make friends or seek validation from your workers. Its a business you are doing. Run it as a business!!! Going forward, Run a transactional leadership model where you mete out punishment to staff who steal(u can have a standby police officer on call), fire those whose who are lazy and reward publicly those who meet and surpass their target . However i must add that the economy is hard and u may need to try and improve their wages a little so they wont use that as an excuse to steal.
if u still feel u dont want to go tough on the elderly, u can hire a middle man/project officer who interfaces between you and your staff . Give him his target, daily kpi, do let him know that any material that cant be accounted for will be on his head etc etc

The problem with nigerians is we always want people who r experienced to do some certain jobs, and we want to cut corners and disregard some duties thinking we can maneuver. Employ a site foreman, either ur friend or younger bro. He should be the one buying some things and also keeping tabs of what is going on in the site. He will take stock of materials used daily.
U might think its unnecessary but at the end u will save so much money from this.

Our fathers set are the most useless set of irresponsible humans on earth!

Nigeria is a mess today because of these bunch.

They are greedy, lazy, hypocritical, cowardly, cunning and very fraudulent.

-They are so cowardly that they enabled the military to intimidate Nigerians to date.
-They are so hypocritical that they allowed clerics to become demigods till date.
-They are so gullible that they allowed Nigerian politicians to see themselves as our saviour.
-They are so immoral that every Nigerian girl now sees her kpekus as a source of income.
-They are so fraudulent that every Nigerian boy now sees fraud as the only way to survive.
-They introduced bribery to the Nigerian way of life.
-They destroyed the Nigerian employment system by cheating and maltreating their staff for peanuts and has remained so till date.
-They destroyed our chances of going abroad easily.
-They are so wicked that they rendered our educational system useless
-They sabotaged our electricity system for kickbacks
-They introduced the 'respect only the rich man' mentality in Nigeria today
-They destroyed our economy and currency value to almost nothing
-Tribalism today was initiated by these backward thinking set that is immune to innovation & progress
-Religious discrimination & intolerance was introduced by them
-They institutionalized poverty


...............................................................................................
On top of all these, the day you catch them red handed & try to expose them, they will use 'respect' as an excuse. If you expose them you are being 'disrespectful to your elders'. grin

The ENDSARS protests is an example. They hated it because their children showed them what they don't have - balls.

Look around your immediate environment, churches, streets, villages, offices, estates etc, the main person hindering other peoples progress for no meaningful reason is usually between 50-80 years of age. Sometimes the reason might be as flimsy as 'I have been disrespected' or 'I wasn't greeted or accorded respect'.

I don't care about your attacks, I said what I said.

The senior citizens of Nigeria are responsible for the rot in our society today.

Know this and know peace.

This is the main reason I closed my sites too. I have seen so much that I do not know what to say again. It is the main reason I have decided to relocate. And the solution for me is Artificial Intelligence. And I am one of the happiest person looking forward to Tesla Bot (Humanoid) and let's see how it can be applicable. Honestly speaking, I will go to the end of the world to reprogram these human robots to replace workforce in my area of specialization. All normal tough work and unskilled labor will be handled by robots instead of employing Nigerians.
