The ideal thing is to attach basic prevailing market price of materials as of the time of bidding for a project. Any price increase during execution will be treated as fluctuations to be paid for by the client.

In fluctuation claims, the client only pays the increment in price from the bidding price and the execution price.

On a serious note, I salute contractors sha. I mean how does one approach a client to pony up more because prices changed within days. And it's usually not small change either.

Can you imagine begging someone to repay money that is owed for over half a year..

Like I said all this is just entertainment and macabre marketing for the fraudster builder.
Asslickers full here na... Moreover he got a share from the fraud.

Thanks for the explanation.

I’m starting hardscaping on a new two plot I just got in Elebu and material prices are a head scratcher.

Please how did you achieve that depth in excavation and subsequent works?

michlins:
Here's one thing that happened to a site I worked at. So after doing the foundation of a tank stand, the engineer came around and inspected. He called me back and told me that the foundation wasn't deep enough. I have already done about 2m deep already the explained to me how the soil I'm standing on was. His recommendation was simple,do a another foundation and this time,we went almost 7m deep into the ground. It came at a very significant financial cost to the engineer and me but we did it cause safety and not "smart" was very important to us both.

Pic 1:First foundation I did

Pic 2: second foundation

Pic 3: the job

Pic 4: the amount of weight it's handling which required going very deep

it happened that the site in question was a hill and it was levelled. So most of the sand I packed out were sandfill from the hill. So the engineer asked that I keep digging until I get the natural soil after which I started digging proper foundation

Please I am trying to learn also.
In this fluctuation claims, what if the project is turnkey. For example, if I gave a contractor #30M in total, all at once for a four bedroom duplex, can the contractor come back and tell me about price fluctuation? Assuming it takes about 6months to complete the house. And we know in Nigeria, 6 months is a lot of time for prices to change drastically.

Should there be additional clause in the contract regarding such or is it a general understanding that client is responsible and must pay for any eventual fluctuation?
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by QSFemi(m): 10:54pm On Mar 27, 2022
In this scenario, you paid the contractor all the contract sum to deliver the project in a turnkey contract. The contractor, in this case cannot lay claim to fluctuation because he's expected to buy his materials in advance and stockpile before any sudden and unforeseeable price increase in materials.

This is unlike when the client pays as the project construction proceeds on site.

That's one of the roles of a contractor.
Apart from charging you, the client, the net cost of the project, he would also charge some percentage for overheads and profit to cover such issues as storage, security etc.

There are some sites you cannot stockpile though.

There are also some materials you can't stockpile.
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by QSFemi(m): 11:54pm On Mar 27, 2022
Not necessarily on site. Materials can be stored off site.

A very productive way to spend quality time away from chaos.

The simple request of the owners of this project was to transform the old church building to a physical marker and a focal point for worship in the ancient Oshodi, Lagos.

@Blessedsunny2 supplied the bricks.

Colour: Burnt Jasper
Installer: Recommended by Blessedsunny2



They’re real burnt South African bricks. See pic 2 below.



Thanks for the compliment. You inspire us to do more.

Many thanks to the chairman who was rooting for us in the boardroom saying “Brabus will deliver this!” I’m glad we did this.

Oshodi To The World!!!
I don't see any thing that will bring all this issue here!

When somebody or customer recommended my good delivery so I should start calling him a fraudster? sometimes imagine how they train their children
Everybody face challenges, challenges should be handling applicables by taking it to court and for him to face his consequences instead of going into violent, (violent) will not Bry back of your money,that what I said, why I'm saying this it has happened twice now by involving me
Everybody is my friend and my customer as a business man.
