Sorry but which part of my comment are you quoting sir?

Yes, the fins were initially built without rebar by him which made one to fall. Everything was later removed to be redone.

Just imagine.

The part where you said that the lintel he cast collapsed. I'm just surprised that any builder or engineer can do such

I didn't say any lintel collapsed sir, I only said he did 2 bad lintels we had to remove. They were not resting on the blocks on at least one side.

It was the owner of the Estate that brought it to my notice, I didn't see them during my visits.

I know some of the elders here indirectly gave him thumbs down when I enquired but I know he won't go free from this without a severe scar if he doesn't refund me.

I told him on site that I'm a young man and young people don't forget or let things go easily. I can be a dove if I want to and I can be a beast if need be.

My work hasn't stopped because of the refund but I worked for that money and will get it whichever way possible.

I had to redo 2 lintels that he did anyhow.

The fins he previously casted fell, there and then did we discover there was no rebar used. Just sand, cement and granites.

He was made to redo those ones.

Wanted to build my security house without pillars, had to use unbudgeted money to make sure my PM put pillars there.

He also didn't do German floor for the SH, rather went ahead to erect walls without pillars/German floor.

There are other things not share yet which we have managed /currently managing and correcting. ( low budget electrical and plumbing pipes, low grade steel trusses).

The beginning was smooth and sweet until 97.5% of the funds got to him.
smh..
It is sad to see that more people are falling for Nairaland's resident fraudulent builder. The number of shoddy building and damage he has done on this platform is extensive...and people keep falling for his packaging...its all good until he gets the money ....and he is on to the NEXT project

A leopard never changes it's spots.

The cycle is simple:
1. show off bits and pieces of pics
2. Claim to have d best tools and machineries
3. Make sweet posts on the thread
4. Get a contract
5. Give d project a big fanciful name
7. Never ever completes the project without issues
8. Ends up fighting with the client
9. Always claims to be right and all knowing
grin grin grin
