A project that should have ended since May 8th or even if I give him the rest of May.

September 26th, we're still talking about it not because he wasn't paid.

Pray you're not the kokoro eating your own efo.

I paid me 97.5% as early as May.

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

Infact all payments were released in advance.



Unfortunately sir, you delayed your work sir because of lack of specifications on the auditions.

Would you mind mentioning what wasn’t done on your security house that you claimed you paid 100%? And why the delay?

As at May 19, 80% of the fence work was done as shown below. Abi I was paid to plaster it ni?

You were going to build a security house on the drainage point and I told you sand fill the compound first and establish the drain off point before doing this.

Even as at last week, we were still debating what’ll be used to cover the security house. I proposed slab and you said you wanted aluminum. You also wanted a 6 pillars for a 10sqm building which I told you that you didn’t pay me for such.

________

The main structure has remain same way since May and the only thing to add to it is the roofing sheet. All that’s happening in between are things off my scope of work.

When did you cast the fence?
show us the images of the security house as at May 19

Show us when the casting of the fence was 100% completed.

Have you handed over the security house and fence work yet? (Both are one project).

You're really funny. We decided where to build the SH and what to do to the drainage in person and on site and everything needed was provided.

No?

1st screenshot as at 22nd of July More than a month after the fence/security house that was to take 2 weeks.

Second and third screenshots were on the 2nd of August for the same fence that should have ended in May.

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.

These cables delivered last week Wednesday to a client, He would have paid additional 276k for these if he waited for 24hrs after giving him quotation. He sent me the quantities on Tuesday and quote quickly sent to him. I made him realized that Coleman is increasing price the next day. He quickly transferred the money to avoid additional cost. on Wednesday the price list came out

Sincerely this shouldn't have happened
There were warning signs for months.

This guy kept writing ..... ...... ..... On the house thread.
I thought he was just a troll.
All those months of writing dots
You should have done everything possible to complete his project.
I even asked you then.
But you moved from bogije to Ibadan and I thought there was no money.

The excuse that he was contemplating the use of TILES IN THE ATRIUM DOESNT HOKD WATER.
YOU SHOUKD HAVE ASKED HIM TO MAKE AN IMFORMED DECISION MONTHS AGO.

Him just putting the tiles there two weeks ago means you had months to either work on how your job will work
Or convinced him to abandon his experiment.

I thought you said the fence was undone. Now you wanted to know when it was casted.


show us the images of the security house as at May 19


You forget things easily though

There’s no security house as at May 19 because you’re undecided as at that time.
You sent us a sketch of what you proposed security house will look like on the 20th and I told you it can’t work in the small space.

I explained how having to wait for you is really delaying us.



Show us when the casting of the fence was 100% completed.


Fence casting was completed after Sandfilling because we can’t block the fence since there’s no access to the land other than the back side of the plot.
We deliberately left the casting of the pillars for the Sandfilling to be completed.

Pic 2 - Casting was done after Sandfilling on May 15 and Sandfilling wasn’t part of the contract.



Have you handed over the security house and fence work yet? (Both are one project).

You're really funny. We decided where to build the SH and what to do to the drainage in person and on site and everything needed was provided.


I believe you forget things easily sir. You provided for drainage in last week of May which is even weeks after proposed completion date.

Always check your records sir. You always have one thing or the other to do that’ll prevent us from completing our job.

You’ve also forgotten how much time we spent doing back and forth on fence height. And how we had to go and top it up with one more blocks.

To deliver the main structure didn’t take us more than few weeks because we had a definite plan but the small works like building a 10sqm Security house be like we are building 4th mainland bridge because of inconsistencies.

Remember we remove power house at a later time.

That was the plan
The QS was involved in the payment schedule, but he kept coming back to say materials were about to go up and that for him not to run into losses, I needed to act. I saw reason with him because iron rod was about 270k before we started, few weeks later, it was 305k, 315k.

I was trying to be human so as not to get him stuck, so i released in advance to get what he asked for.

For the security house, i released partly until he said he needed the rest to get all the materials at once.

I have all the chats here.

I just got tired of his excuses thereafter, I would not have been here if he didnt come to lie that only atrium was left undone, or that i was the reason for the delays.

And you believe all this?

Maybe you should ask for the quote for the security house, what was paid and how it was paid.

That’ll be a good way to separate truth from lies.

__________


There wouldn’t have been a need to take 97% for the job if there was no change request to install steel roofing.

I wouldn’t use my fund to take care of such job which is outside my scope of work. It wasn’t part of the plan and the subtrades has to be paid in full to do his job or the client has the free will to chose whoever will handle that part.

My responsibility to the client is to deduct the cost of materials earlier budgeted for roofing woodwork from my cost while the steel roofers take over their job which I did. My responsibility to the roofers is to ensure the site is ready for the installation of the steel trusses. This was done by me too.

I know you love to lie, so I'm not surprised.

Is the fence about raising just blocks or what constitute a done work?

The pillars were casted when? It took you almost a month to complete the fence casting and I know how Francis kept using left overs from the estate project to do the work on your behalf.

Tell me what I suggested that didn't come from you.

Anything you listed here as the reason for delays came from you.

I later discovered you mostly wait deep into the project to bring reasons why this wont work or not.

All these started happening after you got all the money.

The main building is yet to be completed as at now, so which main building are you talking about?

The fins, concrete, Coppings, facials, roofing of both atrium and main building. If these are the small work, why are they still pending 5 months after?

Security floor is yet to be casted, the current stage started this month since May.

Without the presence of my personal supervisor, we wouldn't have what's currently there.

As u have always preached, put a call to the client and sort out whatever outstandings u have on his project.

This job was an opportunity for you to clean up the mess and bad reputation that u were known for on this forum. It is so sad seeing that u are on the verge of messing it up.

Now I understand why people like Hajj and the other respected elders have always warned newbies about u.

You’ll all be shocked at the cost of what we are dragging here.

When the QS is done, I’d be happy if he can share his report here viz-a-vis what was paid. I’ve also requested that the client conduct integrity test on the structure.

When I look at the budget the fins I’m currently doing in the project, I couldn’t but wait to receive the QS report.

A lot of times, I mediate on issues to help client finish strong on their project especially managing minor issues but I’m not so lucky getting the same help on my project so it’s no big deal.

The roof, the grill, the broken atrium cover that’ll be replaced and the security house is not even up to 8% of the project.

I gave him almost 5 months just to complete the job

A job of 3 months going into 7 months.

He comes on chat begging for time and all that, yet came here to be proving what?

I actually had some people warn me about him, hence the reason I was very active in December /January on this thread asking him series of questions on his previous deeds.

He claimed he had learnt from the past and thanked me for the opportunity

I wanted him to succeed with my project to give him room to grow further

My project opened doors for him which he confessed to after 7 years of not handling any private project (major).

I still want you to succeed in your career but I have reach my tolerance limit.

You're a selfish person
You think I'm only worried because of the outstanding jobs?

Will you pay me for the increase in other building materials for the past 4 months?

You think I'm dragging anything materials with you?

Will you refund my time wasted and the increase in other materials?

Here are jobs you're yet to do for 5 months now

Roofing (main)
Atrium roofing (glass cover)
Coppings for the roof
Facials for the roof
Roof gutter
Fins and concrete design (only wood work partly done 2 days ago and some iron work done a day ago with the help of my supervisor.

Security house block work (completion)
Roofing/decking whichever you do
German floor

These are the small work you have not done for the past 5 months!

All paid for 6 months ago.

But since you can't come to site to finish your job since 5 months now. I will take my refund and count my losses
