Hello everyone, maybe someone will need my advice on renovation. If you have an old bathtub, the specialists can refinish it without removing it. Check out the following link, this is a really great and quick repair option. They also can reglaze the tile, it looks amazing.

The 14 days legal mandate expired on Friday, you asked for 2 extra days to consider the conditions I gave you after you asked for a lifeline.

Incase you dont know. More than 5 people on this thread are privy to what has been happening. I chose not to rat you out for future sake, but if you want to self-destruct, there's not much I can do about that.

I chose not to do media stuff because I didn't enter a contract with you on the media in March 2021 for a 3 months project.

How many house here needs to be plastered, screeded, painted, tiled before roofing?

There’s something called excusable delay in a project which is caused by varieties of issues. Once a change is not part of the scope of work, you allow your contractor ample time to make adjustment to his schedule.

If this won’t happen, you’ll revert back to the original design as stipulated within the contract to avoid delays or remove that part completely from the contract if it’ll lead to issues.

If none of the above will happen, then I don’t know what else to do.

A 10 mins job can take 10 hours if there are too many dependencies.

For me it’ll be an issue if the contractor is asking for variations on the contract and he didn’t foretell the implication of changes made along the line.

Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by somehow: 1:33pm On Sep 26, 2021
When you recommended we use steel instead of wood for the roof in April, I obliged since you were the engineer/contractor then and made funds available (obviously more than what it would have cost me for the wood) you needed.

You claimed then that your roofers were available, it took a month before they came to install the trusses after delivering the materials to site. This was even when I decided to link you up with another roofer when I got tired of your excuses (Said your roofers refused to show). This same roofer of yours showed up the day my own roofer came to site, had to send something to him for TF (His time was wasted).

Ever since then, the house has remained roofless (Almost 5 months).

Is it money that I didn't release or what? I have paid you everything since May with just 2.5% remaining which is to be paid after roofing.


So tell me, which "changes" did I introduce to the project that requires almost 5 months to apply?

What exactly is the reason why a 3 months project has now turned 7 months with the house still unroofed?

A separate contract was for a security house and dwarf fence which was entered into in May and to last just 14 days, how come that is also pending? Did I also introduce any change to that?

Lastly, the images you posted above were made possible by my own independent supervisor who sourced for 80% of the workers used so far. The only thing you did was to release payment for what they did through him. If I tell him not to oblige you, nothing would have been done. He's there on my note. The 2 weeks given to you by my lawyer only saw you working for just 1 day out of 14 days. (setting part of the blockwork for the SH).

Without my supervisor on site, we would have been stuck with just the blockwork in 3 weeks.

Like I said, your grace expired on Friday, come to site for reconciliation with my QS, if you can't make it, send anyone to represent you.

And if you are not sending anyone, my QS will go ahead to check what has been done and not done, and you will refund within the stipulated timeframe in the contract.

I swallowed series of excuses for the past 4 months just to make life easy for you, but you took me for granted, abandoned site for months.

Your delays will cost me more money to buy materials for other parts of the project I should have started 4 months ago.

I was told but I felt you would have changed 7 years after.

At least 3 persons from this thread have been to site and 2 even witnessed some unpleasant conversations from some external workers you contracted after yours refused to show up.

If I lied in what I have written above, kindly prove it.

The March 2021 contract didn’t specify that tiles will be installed by my client in September 2021 before roofing sheets are laid.

That was completely out of my scope of work and not done by me and was a change made by my client.

I’ll have to spend some time consulting other professionals to learn how to install a roof on tiles.

If you won’t mind sharing the pics of the tiles installed.

Tiles were installed when? Did you bring materials to site and the tiles then stopped you from roofing? you are clinging at straws. Tiles were installed just 2 weeks ago as I WANTED IT.

I gave you a blank check that whenever you want to install the sheets and want any of the tiles removed, I will send my tiler to do your bidding.

So tiles installed 2 weeks ago stopped you from roofing the house 5 months ago?

The atrium is also uncovered.

Is it because of the tiles?


The security house is yet to be completed after paying you 100%, the tiles caused this too?

Like I said, no longer interested in your services. I will bear the cost burden your delays and excuses have laid on my lap.

My potential electrical contractor is on this thread
My potential plumber is on this thread
My potential window contractor is on this thread

Most of them know how far, they saw things themselves.

I contacted most of them months ago but due to the delays, I couldn't mobilize them.

The quotations they submitted months ago is now invalid and I must spend more to get work started

All because N3xt decided to take my being understanding for granted. Left site since May and only shows up once in green moon.

This is what you wanted, if it will help your career, fine, I tried to help you in my own little way but you think you were the smartest because I played a fool swallowing your excuses and acting as if I knew nothing about what went on on site.

The 10mm tempered glass bought and brought to site in April broke while we were waiting for the atrium to be ready.
I won’t make a similar mistake again delivering roofing sheets to site only to wait to be told how to install it on tiles.
I’ll rather have you finish your experimental projects and understand what to do before taking any further step.

Sir, don’t forget you told me you want to do some work on your roof before the roofing. I was shocked to see tiles on your roofing wall the way YOU WANTED IT and I even offered a refund because I and my roofer are at loss on how to do this without having leakages.

You said you want current price of doing the roof as if I charged more than the current price.

When I said I’m going to install polycarbonate that was original quoted for as atrium cover, you said you wanted the glass that I installed initially. You offered 50k support for the broken glass and requested the money back and I send it to you because I’m not begging for help.

Why buy glass when where you wanted to use it on wasn't ready?
Was I the reason it wasn't ready?

And I even decided to assist you with 50k to get the glass when ready which I did until recently.

Did I install tiles in April? I want to believe you understand that people with brains are on this thread.

I said I prefer tiles to aluminum sheets for the atrium walls 2 WEEKS ago, not 5 months ago. You later claimed the tiles won't work, I gave you a blank check that when you're ready, my tiler would be there to remove parts that will stop your work from working. YES OR NO?

Like I said, I gave you the condition of signing an undertaking before my lawyer to finish the project in 7 days with you being on site. You asked for 2 days to prepare, came back later to say I am pressurizing you into making commitments you can't keep.

I must have been expecting a man who didn't keep commitment for 5 months to suddenly be able to keep that of 1 week.

When I gave you 2 weeks extra months ago, you claimed it was too much to complete what's left. NOTHING happened.

My lawyer gave you another 2 weeks which you claimed to be fair, only blockwork (partly) was done directly by you in 14 days (Just 1 day work).

Everyone who worked for their money here can see the issues.

I don't want to drag, I wouldn't have said anything here until you brought it here yourself with lies that only atrium cover was left to be done.

Send whoever you're sending to site next week and be ready to refund according to the contract. That's all for now.

It's a pity you wasted my time.

I paid him 97.5% as early as May.

Paid 100% for security house and fence which is still undone.

Infact all payments were released in advance.
