No. I just have the machine at home for personal use.

Same pressure washer for washing cars right?

Please help me post sample of mold bleach you use.

I am looking for an experienced tiler who can visit the project site in Benin, County Home Junction, take accurate measurements, and provide a detailed estimate for the tiles needed.

unless there is something you are not saying. my honest advise at this point would be to secure all the documentation you have and cut the architect loose. he sounds like he is going to be a lot of trouble down the road. and he is the kind of person who may try to leapfrog over you to the client.

this is my take based on the information available

I have hidden nothing.

His actions and speech give me serious cause for concern.

I am seriously shopping for alternatives but will pay him for all work done to date.

The only thing I haven't done is to share his chats on the issue.

1. Initial Engagement & Site Survey (Bill #1) I met the architect while he was supervising a renovation near my former residence. We have no familial relationship. I initially engaged him to survey a site and assist with 3D visualizations. He quoted a consultation fee for the site visit, which I paid immediately.

2. 3D Visualization Negotiation (Bill #2) Following the visit, he submitted a bill for 3D visualizations. I deemed the quote excessive and paused the engagement. He followed up repeatedly, prompting a negotiation on price. I informed him that unless he accepted my counter-offer, I would wait for the contract award or seek alternatives. He eventually agreed to my figure, and I paid him in full for the 3D visualizations.

3. Documentation & Scope Expansion (Bill #3) I questioned whether his output covered all technical requirements. His response was unsatisfactory, so I conducted independent research and identified missing documentation. When I requested these specific documents, he presented a third, substantial bill. I agreed to draft a contract to cover this specific scope—not to offer him a partnership.

4. The MOU & Profit Sharing Dispute He drafted a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) requesting a percentage of the project contract in addition to his documentation fee. I instructed him to send the draft with the percentage left blank for my review. Upon review, I identified several significant issues. I informed him that I would prioritize finalizing the proposal documentation before addressing the flaws in the MOU.

5. Market Survey (Bill #4) He also conducted a market survey, constituting a fourth distinct billable item. It was after the market survey that this issue of partnership arose.

Summary of Contribution: To date, his contribution is limited to paid services: (1) Site Consultation, (2) 3D Visualizations, (3) As-built designs, and (4) Market Survey.

My Contribution: I retain sole responsibility for the project's success, including business development, stakeholder meetings, proposal defense, and all strategic efforts required to win the contract. And while the duration of his MOU is limited to between now and when the project is paid for and executed, my obligations to the client continue for a minimum of 1 year from the date of project handover; he is not part of that.

He just wants to make a quick buck and be on his way.

You should move, maybe even earlier , once you have collected all you paid him to do , looking like he knows too much already , maybe he feels the contract is too much for you to chop alone , all the best

you must have paid him very very very well the first time which is why his mouth don wide - which is the downside of being forthriight. people now see you as mumu

no one charges for market survey. as a professional you are supposed to have those figures on hand

Maybe another issue is that he wants me to handover the full quotation |(architectural and non-architectural) for his QS to create a professional bill of quantity and I have not done so!

He has been asking for days and I have said the document is not ready

He may need the money

Please, any critic on this floor plan

The designer did a cool job, it's kinda fantastic.

My little observation.
As a luxurious apartment, it shouldn't be lacking a laundry, the kitchen too needs a store, the master bedroom's windows should be cross ventilated.

Thanks for the comment. I'll ask him if there's a space for such

Show the bathtub or shower stall and toilet n the bathrooms to be sure you have the space

Kitchen door should be large so no challenge bringing in a big fridge or freezer

Modern kitchens have washing machines

You need to show the fridge, freezer, washing machine, gas cooker dishwasher etal in the kitchen

Show proposed position of TVs

If this is a rich guy include a panic room

I think the architect is working based on the available space. It's a 300 square metres land.

What is the best screeding material for fence? It seems like premix putty will not work here since it will always be exposed to direct rain

Washing machine and dryer is supposed to be in the laundry not kitchen in a luxury modern home.

yes and no

most modern luxury apartments have them all in the kitchen

if you have a standalone luxury home with a lot of space, then yes, you may have a detached laundry. however if you have a luxury apartment, then these are typically in the kitchen.

I only speak from experience, building and fence have been screeded without painting for up to 6 years and has been painted over 5 years now.

Neat here.

Is that Polystyrene parapet? If yes, did you need to cast a new beam on top of that last layer of block in order to attach the parapet?

this one isn't polystyrene,but I do polystyrene too,
Is the final coach of the block after lintel,is up to 3 steps,u don't need beam for that,but if not u need to make it 3 coaches,to attain a proper height.
