MY VERDICT........ (I'll saydfact)

Ibk and Dennis both had those phone conversation with the intention of recording it and nailing the other - SO, IT WAS ALL FAKE (in my opinion)... its only natural that at a point, one of them wld lose his temper - which happened AND THATS WHAT PEOPLE ARE USING TO NAIL DENNIS.....


IBK - Its possible you got someone offering to do it for less, so you wanted to get your money back and move on, rather than see Dennis complete the job and every1 is happy. (you should have contacted Hajj, since he recommended him and allow him resolve this, rather than bring it here)

Dennis - Even in all this, you shd have avoided any mis-understanding what-so-ever for HAJJ sake - because he recommended you....

Let me say this (I like giving examples) - A NLer contacted me years back for a design, I delivered and he loved it.... months later, he said his land has changed and the design was bigger than the new land - I did the new design for him and told him the money he paid for the 1st still covers the 2nd..... WELL, OUR POLICIES ARE DIFFERENT BUT whatever is your policy, always avoid what wld lead to recording audio of clients...

RECORDING AUDIO IS A PROOF THAT THERE IS NO TRUST,,,,,,, and if there is no trust, I dont do it.....

BUILD HEALTHY RELATIONSHIPS - THE SKY IS BIG ENOUGH FOR US ALL.

GOODLUCK

REVEALED: The reason for, high cost of cement and other Building Materials is basically logistics running cost. Truck purchase @ ₦10m now ₦14m+ spare parts price are high, truck tyres we buy & 65k now 90k...

Dangote trucks are owner by private & coperate, individuals running cost is really hitting on them at the moment.

Be informed more hike in Building Materials will still loom across board.

Dollar is ₦470-480. Dangote said he is doing all-round repairs & maintenance, but within u & i that is always his plan to increase price... God help us.


People calling for Cement am very sorry my booked order is still pending with Dangote & Lafarge. Logistics make it a stock goods yet to be moved. Like i alway said profit margin for Cement is less or ₦50/bag, some clients will even say they will not pay to offload, hence my profit may end up ₦-10 or -5.

As a follow up to our conversation..... My Shower height is abt 9ft and the Iron guy said 3ft of the water stand will go beneath the ground level...thats abt 12ft....To get good pressure I am considering going for 20 ft, which wll give me ca. 8ft above my shower.

Do you think this will be enough to get good water pressure?

I will also aprecise the input of others who ve done over head water tank.

Thank you very much in advance.

I’m working on a project right now and the terms were clearly stated “POD.”

Benefits:

- No upfront payment frauds.

- No risk of loss of money. The customers get to check our products and see whether everything is perfect before paying for it. In the event some of the product are defective or a less standard has been delivered, the customer can always return it without paying.

- Fewer competition.

————-
But we (the service providers, vendors) had Advance Payment Guarantee to protect ourselves.

Was APG issued by a bank on behalf of the private client?

Or are you building for government?

The caveat should be "don't patronise who you can't physically control and physically confront/rub mind with."

With all the back-and-forth tales of woe on this [fake] platform I wouldn't dare engage anyone. Playing safe. There are many fish in the river! I could go get someone out there and bear the full consequences should anything go amiss rather start a faceless war of words here.

Good morning fellas!

NB: Forgive me if I have misfired this morning - don't take it to heart.

You are not mis-firing at all, though a bit generalising.
And what l mean is that there are still a few good people on this thread, whether as Clients, Contractors, etc.
There are also fraudsters out there but you are right about one thing: If you engage someone by yourself, you take all the risk by yourself and you get to prepare properly in that engagement.

What l see as the irony here is that When you recommend someone and a Client acts on that recommendation, when Yaawa happens, you should stand-up and either resolve the issue or you publicly denounce the Fraudster, you cant just keep quiet and say nothing because if not for your recommendation, maybe the Client would have been more alert and not patronise that person.
If l recommend someone to a Client/Contractor, and the Client/Contractor gets burnt, l would bear the consequence myself and hold the person l recommended to account
We cant just be giving out recommendation just to be liked or curry future favor, that is ungodly
. angry

Dont recommend if you know that you wont be able to resolve any Yaawa that happens, Period.

Edit: Events below, have overtaken this post, since the money has been refunded.
Blessed are the Peace-makers.

That is the Spirit! Pack your Shiet, learn the lessons and get better.
My post below also recommended that, a few days back.

I listened to it too and l was really angry.
For someone like me who does not have patience for nonsense, l will be at the Architects door the next day, demanding for my full refund or there will be blood.
That is why l said, in my previous post that "An Archy is not paid for 'EFFORT', but must be paid for a USABLE Drawing. paying the Archy for 'effort' should be at the discretion of the Client and most Clients will do that, once the breakdown in relationship is not due to incompetence or unprofessionalism, like using abusive language on a Client.
I appreciate the Client for being a man who embraces peace, that is to his credit.

Deniss 3D, you really need to restore faith in your Character and temperament (l know you are trying to get better) by making reparation to that your former Client.
That money is too small to stake your image on, the honorable thing to do will be to refund the 25K and openly apologise to him, to show us you are what you say you are. That is my suggestion.


@HajjM, you recommended him, what is your take on this?

Yes, it was issued by a bank on behalf of a private client.

Trustbond Mortgage Bank


There are few things to do to access the funds though.

_____
Contractors’ with insurance have to present their Contract Award Letter, Building Plans and Quotation to the bank and upon approval pay a bond fee which will be calculated based on the fund accessed.

Now, tell me how this Client will not be willing to even pay extra, for such Archy, instead of dragging "effort" money with him?

Kudos to you Darenyx, your character goes before you.
Please Professionals, dont think what people say about you does not matter, whatever is bound (truthfully and justifiably) on Earth, is also bound in heaven, that is what the Bible and Quran says.

this is what I will tell you, the standing tank should not be taller than your parapet. Your house is the center of attraction in your home. So if the standing tank gets taller, it becomes awkward.
