Hello Sir @ Qc1

I just viewed you thread from a - z and felt bad for the situation of your house. I am here for any advise you need any time. Its painful that you weren't led properly, because trust me, as non Building Engineer, you needed all the Guidance you could get. Anyway the truth and bitter truth is what you will be getting from now on.

First thing first thread with caution with that guy marketing kitchen cabinets, as a professional some pictures are from the Internet and never ever turn out to be the way they look. Then for the real life pictures, some are ugly, while the ones that are fine are fine because of the tiles and not the Wood Works.

Anyway That small one aside. As regards the Structural Issue you have with your house, the Only solution I can give you from where I am sitting right now is money, as I will advise you to keep money aside for a solution. I can't advise on any other solution until a proper physical assessment has been made. anyone giving you suggestions without seeing the site is just like what we say in Edo State (Those People wey no dey house we dey beat Police. Na them go talk say How wish I dey i for break the Police Head!!!!!).

As for Finishing your house, I can recommend ideas and processes to you. even recommend certain guys for you that can work on my behalf. If you want me to be directly involved, no shaking, but it will just cost you more, because na my business and business man dey business to make money oo. and the money dey really needed this period as New Wify need to dey fresh make she no park her bag back to her family.

Anyway one thing I can Guarantee, is as far as I am involved, your house must come out Nice. It has never happened Otherwise before.

Good to see the progress you made after all the project shortcomings. Its part of the learning process.

It would be pretty informative if you include the amount of money it took to finish the project. No be only picture we wan dey look.


Thanks
The Idea for This Thread and My all my threads is to Provide step by step Pictures of the process involved in delivering Architecture that has taken a new Dimension in Nigeria. Also for the public to be able to criticise the process and help us properly define an Architectural method we intend nurture and make into a brand that changes the face of Architecture in Nigeria and Beyond. Furthermore, Buildings in Nigeria many atimes look a whole lot different from the Design, and the Beauty of the Presentation Drawings are no longer there by the time the Structure is finished. This we all know kills the mood of the client after taking a look at what was presented initially and what he think he's been spending money on as against what he has finally been given. Its amongst the worst gift you can receive. So we are here to showcase how its done, the challenges Involved and Steps not taken but should have been taken, that can easily be missed by contractors.

Moreover, These are Peoples Project which they are likely to sell or rent. So its doesn't work well for the business of the Client to have to total Cost of Project Posted Publicly. If you want information on cost of Project Kindly email me on skimanski4life@yahoo.com or info@dnstructures.com

Thanks

Oh Brabus!!!! Wish I had your number to privately call you! Its a horrible scene on this your thread these days. To see you been fired from all angles man. Worst of all you ain't helping your case. It's high Time you apologise to all those you have wronged and those you haven't wrong but are using the medium to hit you liked they have always wished man. After days without the fire dying out, don't you think Defending yourself further is doing you more harm than good? Guy take my advise please. Your Strength has turned out to be your greatest enemy. You have too much packaging skills that its clouding your ability to deliver. You have relied too much on your packaging, that's why you're still trying to package your way out. Bros abeg apologise, any one keeps on bringing new stories, just tell them sorry. Even if you're been accused wrongly Agree to them that maybe you weren't professional enough, but you are getting there. You are good at these, I see it in you, but you are focusing too much on the wrong side of you. Following what has been said a lot, you have good Customer packaging (Which I wish I had), but the field work is lacking. Guy you are focusing too much on that packaging. Throw it out the door and focus more on doing your Job. Its too counter Productive to your success. because its gives you many clients and many unhappy ones at the end. thereby denting your reputation. You need your reputation intact. or do you want to remain in this stage of your career for another 20 years. Take Inspiration from Cappa and D'Alberto. I remember, constain Plc, they had too much packaging at one point, and now they can even dine on same table Cappa and D'Alberto or Julius Berger Plc. Don't you want to be remembered for the Guy that Built the Civic Center, Shoprite in Lekki, Diamond Bank close to the Toll Gate, the all Great and Beautiful house of the CEO of FCMB Bank. These were all done by builders who started small and had focus on what was required to get to the promise land.

Bros Apologise, own up totally, and move on, and you will get to that Destination you set for yourself.
