gud evening boss, this quote is ok, for frameless like this,
He quoted 4ft by 4ft = 54k
2ft by 2ft = 35k
Boss ,it's very on a good side, grap ur copy
You are not advising him right. You know very well that that #54k would not get him a 4 x 4 (1200mm x 12000mm) frameless window with protector and net.

Actually I don’t want to talk on this matter again if not bcs of this latest version of the issue.
They said we cut corner .. lolz anyway I don’t need to dwell much on it as argument.
Even my own personal project I never used 0.45mm let alone client project. And more than 20 building that I have constructed here I never cut corner either you are there or not, I will do my work as it’s should be and move on to other project.

I never cut corner on iron rod of about 8m ( original TMT Tiger) always
Cement of about 3m
Granite of 2m
-Plumbing pipes and fittings
Electrical pipe, DB etc
It will now be aluminum of diff of N90k that I will cut corner …
When I I can see diff of
Almost 1.5m on iron rod only if I bought others low Brand ….. hmm. It’s well

Here is the quotation from my roofer for this particular project,
I can send more than 10 copies of some of my roofing quotation / payment to my roofer on diff job to show the type of gauge we used for our project not only that most of our cleint do see this when in use.
* check the date, the time, and the gauge of the roof with the price then.
Also the gerald roof part is on the list as well. How much do I want go gain from such act … pls am more than that sir, am not bragging.
But what can I say here if God said thing will happened noting you can do than to face it and pray for such not to occur again bcs human being are destined to face difficulties in this life.
It’s only God that is perfect,

I pray to God to judge me according to my behaviors toward cleint and any others people in this life. YES
If you haven’t encountered issue in your line of duty or in this life you will believed that’ others people with such issue presently are not perfect.
Bye on this matter

Hmmmm

My own God speaks good things into my life not disaster … so don’t associate God s name with the atrocities u committed INTENTIONALLY…. U bought inappropriate roof range, bought less wood for support and u lack roofing knowledge …. and disaster happened but now U putting it on God ……. Did God tell u to commit fraud? HABA!!!

Unfortunately, I overlooked red flags at the beginning of the contract … u were more interested in the gain/profit/money than delivering a good job .. so obvious!!

Rotecch, several competent and genuine roofers came to access the roof before I chose one to re-do it, including some NLers professionals… they all said the same issues with the roof u did …. Over 10 professionals cannot be wrong neither videos/pictures seen

Thank your stars that you already apologised to me over all your atrocities on my site and God has put me above your imagination…. If not , u would have paid me back my 1.75 million willingly or by force ….. so u better shut up you mouth and concentrate on finding another victim ( NLers know the truth about u )

Rotecch, also note that I am not re-opening this case but giving an update.

Compliments of the season folks,

Please I need some answers

POP ceiling or Polystyrene Suspended Ceiling which of these two is the best and why?
Considerations: Cost, Maintenance, Durability, Aesthetics, Fire risk

I will not compare cost as this is very subjective since a very wide range of qualities (from original to sub-standard) exist.
In terms of durability and maintenance, polystyrene is the better of the two.
But for inflammability, I would avoid Polystyrene materials whether in ceiling or insulation especially when I know electrical wires/ fittings are coming close to it.
POP ceilings are also available as boards but I believe you are referring to the in-situ (cast in place) type. This offers 3D rendering of ceilings which the suspended roof can't.
So, I would go for POP ceiling with resilient blanket layed inside to keep rodents off plus absorb any moisture that could result to discoloration /maintenance issues.

Dear fellow Nairalanders

Just an update on the bad roofing work done for me by this quack ( Rotecch77) which I complained of, few weeks ago on NL

I spent another 2million naira plus to correct this terrible job done for me by this incompetent fellow, despite paying him over 2 million naira months ago for the same job but he used substandard materials and lack knowledge

The roof job was terrible because:
- no enough wood used for support
- Roof was not slanting therefore retaining water on roof causing multiple leakages
- 0.45mm aluminium was used instead of the 0.55mm I paid him for ( fraudulent)


Quite an unfortunate situation. But raises salient questions like are there no drawings or was drawings not adhere to (if so then contractor was negligent and owner can seek redress as he deems fit).
The 0.55mm to 0.45mm could easily have been detected at procurement even before installation commenced.
Lack of adequate pitch could also have been observed at roof carcass stage.
Sorry for the loss. A take away (learning from incident) for all Clients would be to ensure Contractor is different from Consultant (ie supervision). The N1.75m spent on this rework would definitely engage the required supervision. And the benefits of an additional, independent professional can't be over emphasized.

Do the cracks extend from the foundation? If not then they are not a structural concern.
If the cracks are localized to the area of the picture attached, they are most likely due to excessive thickness of mortar in that area.
Size of crack will determine the remedy.

It's not from the foundation. It's localised in specific areas.

I love your last line "Client contractor" not "Master Servant".

Nigerians love picking ideas only to end up giving the job to someone else, I was called up for a project last month and I took my time to travel down to meet them. Lol. They were happy with my proposals and they assured me they would give me the project so they fixed another day with the real owner of the job (I didn't know they ain't the real owner).

On the said Day, I brought out my starched and well ironed kaftan meant for important days, shined my black shoe and co. Burnt fuel down to the place. When I got there, the owner of the job told me to meet his wife for the discussion. We discussed and she said she was impressed but she wanted me to meet the person handling the projects (Arghh) so another day was fixed.

To finally impress them, I invited my good friend who owned one of the best company in south west to accompany me so that his own portfolio can finally convince them. I wore the suit I reserved for my wedding day grin

On getting there, we waited for hourssssss! (Mind you, I had things I wanted to do), before we eventually met the person handling the project only for that one to keep saying " How do you want to do it" "what methods" blah blah. We told him they want result and we will deliver the result but we can't divulge the process, on the long run, he said they truthfully do not have any money to pay us and that they thought we were volunteers so they were shocked when they saw the money we added to the proposal. I was weak, I looked at my friend and I was just begging him with my eyes. I wasted 1 week of my time, wasted my money to get prepared.

So, do not waste your effort until you're sure the JOB is yours. Know your value or else, clients would think you're a HUNGRY CONTRACTOR.,
One of the reason why i don't visit site, my roofer handle everything
If you get my contact on internet and you can't agreed to my company term and conditions you can check other vendors
After your woodwork i charged for mobilization fees before we can visit the site for measurement if you can't pay that..
Let someone else handle it,

I can recall a client from oversea owned site at calabar
He paid 35k for tfare after we summited the quote
His brother and engr divert the job and purchase it elsewhere
I didn't av anything to lose
Na your 35k waka

Becos if you patronize us
We do refund back the mobilizatn fees
So immediately i heard i can't pay for that mobilizatn is Red flag for me already

Check the next vendor grin grin

Compliment of the session. Merry Christmas to all our Christian friends and families.
I don’t have any problem paying any contractor I requested his quotation as fare is fair. Contractors must also understands clients will not take for ride. We will continue to compare quotes not to shortchanged . Imagine inviting 3 contractors to compare their quotes for same job. For example first contractor request or quoted 70 bags of cements 40 pieces of 12mm rods charge 40k as labor. Second contractor requested for 90 bags of cements 32 pieces 10mm rods charge 20k. Third contractor requested 80 bags of cements 50 piece 10mm rods, charge 50k for labor. Some of us as experience clients, with materials variation like this, we have methods of dealing with situation like this. One thing that is clear from experience, those that quoted low to get the job are always recipe for disaster, they will either cut corners, run away with your money or end up abandoning the job. The bigger problem with artisans and some contractors is trust, they collect money to buy quality stuff ends up buying inferior products. cry cry cry kiss
