its clear they is a gap in communication between both of you....on your part be sincere enough to answer the question of whether the amount paid so far is sufficient to complete the job....for both labour and materials.
at times is just a matter of understanding...dont always be rigid.

dominique:
It seems more like a breech in communication than actual fraud. I don't know much about building or construction but N125k seems pretty low for that kind of work (both labour+ materials) . I hope both of you reach a resolve

if you know about stamped concrete, you should ask him. we had an agreement. to do stamped concrete for about 250 square metres. which later when i measured it was about 285 sq metres.
He beat the price down to 1k per square metre. I was just trying to help, because i charge 1,500 for labour alone if the client buys all the materials. why then would i accept 1k per square metres with materials?
we arrived site. he started asking for materials and where to buy them. He bought the materials, i never knew that the money he used in buying materials he got it from my payment for the job. Work started, then he informed me that the materials he bought is part of the deal we had. i.e. 1k per square metre.
work had already started i told him i didn't understand him. that 1k i agreed was for labour alone. he said he meant materials too. For God's sake 1k is not even okay for paying labour talkless of buying materials.
i told him that is not what i meant when we were discussing about the job. since we already started, we finished stamping the whole area. I substituted the costs with my own funds and we finished the stamping. what is left is the Sealing. i have told him i will not use my money to do the Sealing. the cost of sealer alone is more than 60 percent of the whole money he paid for the job. he already bought part of the materials from the 1k per square metre. Is stamped concrete now done for free? Ask him we finished stamping 285 square metres.


Please tell him not to soil my image here. I have worked for hundreds of clients, and no body has complained. This is not my first job.
Stamped concrete is now 5,500 per square metres and in some places with the high cost of materials now it is 6,500 or 7k per square metres.

i stamped his job of 285 square metres with 270k or so. @1k per square metre. He didn't mention that. He wants me to use my money and seal the whole place. just because he didn't understand my terms when we entered the agreement.

Please Dominique reach out to him. If need be lets meet and discuss this issue.
How can a client expect me to Provide Color hardener, Release Agent, Sealer, and Labour for 1k per square metre?
Check all my posts you would see how i charge.

Sealer alone is 80k now per 20 litres. His site needs three buckets i.e. 60 litres which is 240k. Calculate the amount he paid for the job at 1k per square metres. I am not mad to agree to do a job and buy materials when the cost of just one material supersedes the total amount to be paid for the job. I realised he misunderstood me late. We finished stamping with my own input. I thought as a reasonable fellow he would understand because i tried. Now he is going about soiling my reputation.
I always try to be nice to people at my own expense and it always turns out against me.

Please anybody that installs stamped concrete, or anybody that has stamped concrete installed in his house should comment on this post and tell me if i defrauded him.

don't mind him some clients are like that...you have done your part...but next time make sure your client understands your terms clearly... could even be in writing... in case of legal issues.
