Dunno why but I also love that guy Brabus, with all the controversies surrounding him. I've learnt a lot from him and other professionals on this thread.

I feel you plight but running errands is never part of the scope.

For reasons best known to the owner of the project, he can decide to make some changes. Don’t feel bad because of that. He’s only taking some loads off you.

Well done!

So long money is involved, trust is a difficult commodity. Anybody will do same. However, l'm not angry because of the decision he made but trying to downgrade all the efforts when l'm trying to impress him.

It’s really not about money. It has a lot to do with our moral compass.

I’ll just say “Grow through what you go through.”

EgunMogaji2:


Yes you can stick to labour and supervision as stipulated by the contract but someone like me values folks that go beyond the call of duty and proves useful, if appropriate.

If I were you I would show the client the proof of previous payments so he can see and understand exactly what happened.

Please don't jump on the bandwagon of disgruntled contractors and those who bait them to act out.

Unless your client is a raving lunatic he will understand that prices changes. You can't fault him for his suspicion, after all we are all Nigerians and we know the score. This may be an excellent opportunity to build a bridge instead of tearing one down.

Good luck on your project.

All contractors now need to use their head
If you are taking a contract for a building
Write out the contract stage by stage
Write out the contract from Foundation to Germain floor
After the Germain floor completion
Write second contract from Germain floor to roofing level excluding roofing or to decking level excluding decking
Next stage write a contract for roofing or decking
Why-- the continuous change in Prices and the continuous unstable economy will do all parts well

Hahahahah, trust me if we have those characters of Hajji Mufutau in affairs of government like he do here, in Nigeria. Things will turn around for better in shortest time. He is no nonsense man in every aspect of his life. Egundimeji Special Marshall for code enforcements opari, no more shortcut to quality.

I'm not fighting you or complaining but ex-ray my experience with client base on matter arising from the thread this past few days.
How many time have you seen me comment here?

I never said he is a bad person or did a wrong thing but had misunderstanding. Well, quite unfortunately our society has made us believe everybody is pure evil and liars like yourself but if few persons stands out @GPower has proven his worth within SE and expanding.

What am trying to say is that client most time have issues with contractors or vendors or artisans and it does mean ALL NIGERIANS ARE PURE EVIL AND LIEARS. It's a kind of norm to have misunderstanding.

I rest my case.

I look forward to handle two of his project he won last week. I guess l posted a copy as sample here for a guy who asked for sample.

This things are not difficult. Most supplies does it. Infact, some dealer sees some purchase as chicken change to border about knowing they will get their money.

Are you identifiable, that's all is need.



Please, let the misunderstanding parties find grounds to settle their issues. Refunding should be made where necessary, work completed as specified and fund disbursed as agreed.

Matters arising on the BOQ usage in the construction industry.

Greetings to noble members of this forum.

I'e read with great care and concern issues some dissatisfied clients/members have had with the reliability of BOQ as a veritable document to manage the financial affairs of their projects.

First of all, by way of reintroduction (as a known and vocal member here), I'm a trained Quantity Surveyor whose profession is the primary custodian of BOQ preparation and application. I've prepared far too numerous BOQs in my sterling career as a QS to speak on this issue. This offers me not only the competence but experience to address the concerns of teeming users of BOQ services.

As a definition, a Bill of Quantity (BOQ) is a document that describes the items and scope of work to be done and their corresponding cost. From this definition, two critical parts forms the BOQ, viz, DESCRIPTION and COST. The two factors are inseparable. You cannot have a reliable cost without correct description and vice versa.

Facts about BOQs.
Documents needed to produce BOQs for building projects.
1) Drawings - Architectural, structural (as the case may be), electrical and mechanical services drawings.

2) Specification notes (if any).

3) Site information (physical visit or details of the site should be known).

For the purpose of this write up, I want to divide the phase of a construction project to precontract and post contract.

Precontract stage of a project means the planning stage; design of the clients' briefs, structural designs, MEP designs and consequently production of BOQs.

Post contract means the actual construction of the project on site. This means the Architect supervising his designs to make sure his drawings/designs are followed. The structural engineer supervising his designs too to make sure his designs are adhered to. So also is the MEP engineers supervising their designs to make sure their designs are complied with.

Here is the issue, most clients here do not go further to engage Quantity Surveyors to "supervise" his BOQs to ensure that the content of his BOQ is followed.

In a standard contract, Quantity Surveyors perform post contract services.

But in most projects from many clients here, Quantity Surveyors are only engaged at the precontract stage.

This is not to absolve the person that prepared the BOQ of liabilities.

I've prepared far too many BOQs for members here with very good feedback thereby turning them to repeat clients or further jobs referrers. This shows the level of satisfaction they must have derived from my Quantity Surveying services.

Also important is the fact that so many quacks have permeated the online space misrepresenting themselves as Quantity Surveyors thereby luring unsuspecting clients to offer QS services. I do not blame such clients that have fallen to these set of impostors but the system that allows them to infiltrate the practice system in the first place.

Conclusively, BOQs will continue to be an integral and very important part of the building and other infrastructure development procurement process and as such clients are enjoined to hire trained and registered Quantity Surveyors, who have their practice license on the line, if anything goes wrong during the services rendered unlike saboteurs who have nothing to lose if their advice goes wrong.

I welcome questions if you find this treatise interesting.

Peace.

Yeah, they just need to carry the client along. Communication is very important. Corporations have Chief Information Officer, as an example.

Everybody can claim to be good in public but in private it’s something else.

Some are contractors/clients in the day but armed Robbers at night
Some are contractors/ clients in the day but witches and wizards at night
Some are contractors/ clients in the day but 419 at night
Some are contractors/clients in the day but kidnapper at night
Some are contractors/ clients in the day but ritualists at night

For these ones, any opportunity to take advantage of someone else cannot be missed.

The days are evil and the heart of man is something else. You can no longer know them by their fruits because they don’t even bear fruits any more.

Pray and watch.

Jeff68:
Hmm,, sometimes, the best answer for a fool is silence, those who know me here and have dealt with me, know it’s not about the money, it’s the principle of the thing! I don’t need to brag. Even the artisan knows this, I have given him chances upon chances and he cannot deny that.

I rest, answer not a fool in his folly.

in case your brother needs a welder, kindly give me a recommendation. I will definitely deliver

UC92:

Oga Sir, No No!!.
30 tons should be 30 tons anywhere, anytime.
The issue is this, complete 30 tons can only be delivered by a trailer, most atimes, accessibility to sites is usually an issue considering turning radius and the strength of the soil to be able to allow a trailer to deliver.
So what those vendors do is they promise you 30tons and end up coming with 25-27 tons knowing fully well that a trailer can't access your site. So they come with a double axle truck. That way they make extra profit.

If you really want to know about this, request for waybill before they offload the material at your site.

The waybill usually contains information like
Quantity of material in tons or kg
Size/grade of material
Number plate of the vehicle
Time of departure from the company.
Note: this is if you are buying direct from the company.

Well...sir drivers do cut what they call 10-20 headpans even more if they are delivering to private people ...waybill becomes obsolete and useless ..

kopell:
Hummmmmm , Egun what is your intention for listing these names. I've do business with 8 of these names. Vendors or contractors over the years. My experience with some of those name ehen, you can give them your millions and go to bed without any drama. Our granpa Hajji mufutau can write book on each of these name for good services, average, fantastic, and ugly services. I can assure you the book will be a bestseller on amazon.

Make una no kill persin o.
Knowing Oga EgunMogaji, there is a reason for the listings.. I will like to know too..
