As a matter of strategy, I went ahead to find out the reason why the freelancer lost the second job, so that we could learn from it.
Our team approached the church to provide a roofing service. After much deliberations, we sent our enumerator to do the measurement and sent the quotation to the pastor thereafter.

The pastor requested a discount of over 15% and final payment plan of 2 weeks after the first installment. The first installment was 70%. After presenting it to the management for approval, it was ratified by the Chairman even though it eroded the company’s profit. Thereafter, the pastor brought another counter -offer. The church had only 65% of the total cost (they were supposed to pay 100% as a policy) and would pay the final installment after 4 weeks. I thought it would never scale through but the chairman approved without hesitation. Chairman’s approval came as his widow’s mite to the church. All these changes were documented.

We made series of cold calling to follow up with the pastor and he promised that the payment would be made into our bank account that Thursday of the same . We didn’t see the money and we decided to put a call to him and he said the church should finalise the payment by the following day- Friday. He also said we should come by 10:00am for project discussiont. On that Friday as at 8:00 am, another roofer was already putting up the Church ‘s roof cladding.

I got to the site and asked the agent if we were coming to the building he showed me, he said yes. I was surprised that these crooks could still take their irrational attitude to the “house of God”. As at the time of the visit, the church was partly covered. The roofer left it half way for a month now. He also used material that is fading out with a very low gauge. Meanwhile, my anger was mixed with surprises that the pastor acted that way and put the church in a state of chaos. You should rather turn me down than raise my hope

My findings revealed that the church considered his quotation to be the “cheapest” so they went for it. The roofer used “hold up tactic “– the roofer will take the owner to the Aluminium factory and the home owner will pay directly, the exact money on the cutting list produced by the roofer, to the cashier. That you pay to the factory would enhance your confidence but the roofer will go behind you to claim excess meter on the list.

What this means is that, the roofing sheets would finish half way. You as the home owner would consider it as human error in measurement and pay for more sheets; it would be shameful to leave your roof in such state of “pissmapissma”
