[quote author=Dennis3D post=90907442]No, you are wrong this time. You wanna know why?

You don't know the height of the foundation, the number of partitions it have, the foundation method deployed and the soil type in the area. Moreover she didn't share the floor plan, so it would be wrong to conclude she is been ripped off. I don't agree with you.

bro, contribute on other issues please. leave this man to his ripping off mentality. the owner is satisfied and that's what matters most.

high pitched roof is better for the northerners that needs to break the direct impact/intensity of the sun in areas prone to high sun intensity and also if you want to conceal spaces inside the roof.
flat roof will work perfectly well with gentle slope and good workmanship+quality material.

high pitched roof is always to the advantage of either the roofing material supplier/company n the likes
a popular roofing company once tried convincing our client to go for high pitch saying its aesthetically great and allows rain water drain wel.l also said if low pitch or flat roof is used, issues will come up after 1-2years.

trust me we eventually used low pitch with their materials so as not to look like we had another person to supply and the roof is still not faulty even after 8years.

go for high pitch if u can afford it but not with the mindset that it is because of drain or future issue. some will not even know the structural strength of the building if it will bear the intended weight to be placed on it before going straight up fr it.

my little experience has thought me this

Take it from me, it is cheaper. "Water wetting the blocks"? Water is meant to stay away from internal walls.
Yes, water is met to stay away from internal walls but unfortunately we found our walls wet.

It's alright madam... but karma awaits all of us. What you are going through now is nothing to what is coming more... "soki lobe oge". You can't cheat people in life and go free. It doesn't happen. Most especially when someone is nice and fair to you.

Maybe when Karma is done with you. The entire thread would now know the real truth which you ain't telling them.

This should be a lesson to all clients in here. Not all contractors are at fault here. Some clients sometimes want to play smart.

Meanwhile I am waiting for you to come out here to come and say what you did yourself by yourself.

Definitely.
Am waiting for the client to come out by herself.
It's not everytime a contractor did a client bad.

She should come out here and tell her story by herself. Am watching with all evidence fully in tact and ready for her.

Keeping fingers crossed and sipping something on my couch. It's time.

@Enyinne, come and tell them how your job even started in the first place. Your project didn't just start. There was a process. It all began here.

Clients usually skip the beginning and tell the middle only here for people to judge. So we are starting from the beginning this time.

Just promise you would be here to tell the story. Don't disappoint the forum for me pls. They are waiting.

Yes ,you are very correct. Nature of the soil play a vital role and location plus others factors play a significant roles in construction cost.
I have done some building with low cost and some with high cost of almost same structure at diff area with cost difference btw the two structure. The margin is much o

That's OK. I still have most of them because I understand you always wanna play smart from day 1. Unfortunately, I am smarter and my IQ is always in check. My instincts haven't failed me and it sure got you here this time.

This is going to be a clean up because I can see clearly some people here try to make others look stupid and black.

Sorry, you just met the wrong person. The thread would know who is actually who this time.

Don't be quick to delete and edit comments.

OK. Very good. It's good you are out of your shell.
First question. Did you contact me and did I visit your site?

Secondly, after my visit and you did what you did why did you call me again since I was on the high side.


Thirdly, after contacting again after the previous meeting. Did we have an agreement? Was it on paper?

Am waiting for this answers from you. So the group can judge before I teach you what you don't know yet.

You are surely going to be fooled coz very big and highly respected individuals here are very much aware of you. So be coming forward. Don't just step back at any time till we finish.

Smart woman. Clap yourself. Well done. Explain to the group what you mean by an agreement put to paper...

Factors that leads to an agreement been put to paper. Who even called the shots to put it in writing. You. Did you acknowledge it Yes. Are we supposed to start work. Yes.

What happened afterwards, tell the group the lies that you came up with because very many have the info. The voice calls. They do.
