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

1. Roofing (main) Always ready if there are no delay
2. Atrium roofing (glass cover) - Delivered on 6th May and Broken. To be replaced when it is safe to install.
3. Coppings for the roof Done awaiting casting
4. Facials for the roof I don’t know this. Where’s this in a flat roof or the scope of work?
5. Roof gutter Done May 2021
6. Fins and concrete design Ongoing

7: Security house block work Done. Left with block for roof level. Just 45 pcs
8. Roofing whichever you do
German floor To be done with main house roof. Since you said you don’t want a slab again the carpenter didn’t bother to do the formwork. So we will do the roofing of the security house with the main house roofing as agreed with you last week.


See all pics below and check the project thread for reconfirmation.

Pic 1 - Coping
Pic 2 - Atrium Glass
Pic 3 - Roof Gutter May 5
Pic 4 - Fins

OGA N3XT... PROMISE ME ON THE ABOVE...
fence/security house contract was entered on the 7th and by 19th, I paid him completely for a 2 weeks project.

And you send the drawing for the security house on the 20th after we have raised 80% of the fence.

Check the thread.

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.



Heres the thing you’re not getting sir.
I requested for my payments upfront because I made a commitment and I have to sustain it.

Throughout the lifetime of the project till yesternight, I supplied you as follows without complaints or request for additional funds:

1. Blocks - N200
2. Cement - N3,000

So I have to get my payments upfront to be able to fulfill my obligation. I won’t be collecting N3,000 for cement and buy same at N3,800

I didn’t come back to you to complain for more fund. I didn’t hold you either from engaging other tradespeople or stocking up for the rest of the project.

I did what work for me to sustain what i proposed to you. You’re not compelled to pay me. It was expressly stated how I want my funds.

____________

When I drafted my schedule for the project, I made sure it was done without any conflicting engagements and I was on site 99% of the time till we complete all the block walls.

Are you serious?

I was using the drawing to illustrate the direction when you wanted me to remind you of the design.

This is to show that part of the contract entered into by May 7th wasnt started till 20th.

Imagine asking for 100% money for what you didn't even remember the design a day after paying you completely.

I paid you in advance because of the rise in building materials which you cited as an obstacle.

And this is a design right? I remember you wanted me to put everything in there inside a 2.3m setback and we will still have 1m setback from the building.

I didnt contract you to supply me materials.

I asked you how much would get me a carcass and you gave me a figure which i paid for.

That you bought cement for ₦1 or ₦2 is not a bonus.

Others that submitted their bid also gave me similar figures.

You did me no favor.

Infact, your quotation was one of the highest.

Are you listening to yourself?

Which design did you send quotation for on the 7th?

If you were just getting to know about the design on the 20th, what then did you use to determine the quotation you submitted on the 7th?

Maybe you can share it sir because I can’t remember. I know you were the one coming up with everything I must do. Hence the delay in raising ordinary 10sqm room.

Put toilet here. Remove the power house. Where can we put it? Remove store. Put it left.

[quote author=n3xt post=106191869][/quote]

the glass that is no longer available because you bought what wasnt needed until it got broken?

coppings woodwork done since 2 months but not casted?

the woods that are already weak?

the fins (woodwork and iron work) were done by my supervisor. What was done by your own people fell due to being substandard.

We had to remove everything and with the help of my supervisor came up with what you have been posting since.

Simple question, how did you arrive at the security house quote?

Did you pull out the cost from thin air or how?

Is this why you didnt complete work for 5 months now, but would rather beg for more time?

you cant run from this.

Is this the answer to the question asked?

What you are posting now waa possible with the help of my supervisor, without him, we'd still be seeing this after 4 months! (the casting there was done weeks ago without german floor)

The pillars were done by my supervisor because you claimed you didn't include pillars in the quote.

You wanted to build without pillars knowing the soil strength of that area.

You mean I should put 6 pillars in this because of the soil strength. How many pillars are in the main building if the 10sqm store will have 6 pillars

It’s well!

Hmmm Electrical quote need to be re validate to current market price. Things have gone up in the market again becos of the new dollar rate. COLEMAN just inctrease their prices recently with about 7.5%.

Things are getting worse

If you’re the electrical contractor hinted about by the client, will you allow him to at least pay for estimated materials?

Not sure if you guys do that in Nigeria,

I don't know if he is the potential electrical contractor, however,I know that your recommendation might not be possible because even the major wiring factories have all increased their prices and have paused receiving payments from their distributors.

Building right now is so tough and challenging.. someone made a recommendation recently here that a owner/builder should look for a cement distributor and pay well in advance to lock current cement prices.. I laugh at such recommendations because the distributor would at best offer to refund the money paid when the time comes to deliver d cement paid for.

I deal directly with Channel Partners and they help me keep my stocks.

I have hundreds of bags of Supafix Tiles Adhesive with my Channel Partner that I only pick on request.

They don’t do refunds. They keep my stock for me at the old price I paid.

You mean paying for a quote given in 3 or 4 month ago ? Or pay immediately the quotation is given to the client sir

I have a client that gave me money upfront for materials. Tye project is not ready for us to mobilize but we have bought 70% of the materials to avoid fluctuation in price
