Nothing was ever left undone. The project was still ongoing when you decided to terminate the contract and I’ve never asked you for additional sum on any of the items that we’ve agreed on.
So I don’t want you to assume my position.

I already made contact with a well known roofer here several months (July 2021) before the termination. He has sent in his installer for measurement ( I paid for his logistics), submitted his quote and was waiting for the date we are going to do the installation. He didn’t bill me up to N1m neither did he change his price months after.
This is exactly why we are here today. How can you claim project was still ongoing before I terminated the contract that already expired by 4 months?

Do you understand what contract means?
Do you know what you lose in value and money when you don't follow deadline?

So, which project was ongoing when as at September 25th, the roof for both houses, some blockwork, most part of the fins and slabs were still undone and you falling to commit to giving a time line for completion?

A roof meant to have been covered in May according to the signed contract?

I gave you 4 months extra to complete the job that was to take 3 months, yet you didn't.

I even assisted you with money to aide what broke on site.

I gave you enough room to succeed and chose not to come here to drag you until you came here to lie about the status of work.

I wouldn't want to resume typing again since we have gone past this stage before.

My refund is what I care about now.

At last we have a figured amount to this contractual argument..

The client "Somehow" requesting 2 Million Naira refund...

The Contractor "N3xt" willing to refund 1Million 70k Naira...

QS Femi... Your job left is to be more specific on the job description and amount the contractor didn't agree to... so he can be compelled to pay or not base on the evidences of picture or video...

This case is simple...
I'm requesting that from the actual amount valued by the QS based on what wasn't done and how much it cost to have them done. If invoices are needed to be posted, I'd post them.

In my line of business, you most times end up being a victim of fraud either by people selling stolen funds to you unknown to you, using your account details to perpetuate fraud or impersonating you.

You can contact any of the fellow victims in what you dug out to find out how the issues got resolved.

I obviously didn't get to know on time until months later. (More to do with being a novice in that line of business).

But as a responsible person I strive to be, and to protect my name, i reached out to all of them just to clear my name since my name was the only traceable contact left online by the perpetuators.

I need my refund by 1st week of January and willing to take 2m from the 2.45m valued.

Please find attached screenshots of the final valuation containing the details of the refund.

This is the main summary of the document.

I'll add the breakdown of the items in the valuation in a subsequent post.

I want to reattach the documents because I want to blur out the name for security and privacy reasons.

The total amount due for refund in this document is 2.45m.

Please find attached the valuation for your perusal.
Everyone can see what the QSfemi valuated and what N3xt is offering to pay as what he owes.

I have receipts of the amount paid to the roofer for both the main building and the security house, the atrium roof cover installer, the casting of most part of the fins and slab, the repairs of the roof trusses that was badly installed, the block work for the security house and other repairs done.

These receipts are known to the QS, even down to when they were negotiated.

All the above were undone by N3xt, yet he's offering 1.072m that didn't even complete the roofing alone.

I want the fair minded people to go through both valuations.

God willing, I should resume the finishing stages 1st week of January and I want my refund before then. (And its very obvious 1.072m) wouldn't have done what was left undone.

Can we deal with specifics here sir?

What exactly was stalled?

>> Is it the raft that was done by May 16th?
>> Is it the block walls that we’ve raised 50% as at the 18th of May?

I’m sure you remember the reason we couldn’t raise the other side of the wall was because we wanted trucks delivering filling sand to access the site through that part since we’ve blocked the access point to the site.

I’m also sure you didn’t forget that all the materials for the raft foundation has been prepared as at May 2021 and we were busy waiting for one thing or the other to happen for us to raise the security house. This includes but not limited to approved design from you because there was no agreed design.

I’m sure you are aware that the trucks couldn’t gain access into the site anymore when we wanted to sandfill the frontal part of the land because the estate has commenced digging of drainages and this delayed the construction of the front wall.

Then there was omo-onile and suppliers issue that took us off for additional few days.

Then logistics issues from the supplier of Sandfilling and the plumbers delay.

I must not forget the Lagos State Building Control delay as well. Just in case you forgot. That’s why they marked the kitchen entrance side.
Quit beating about the bush. The QS posted the status of the uncompleted SH as at 28th Sept earlier on.

Lasbca delayed for how many hours?
Omo nile delayed up to 24 hours?

I have done all these before, not worth the back and forth.

I actually baited your and your fall for it.

Go back to the thread and see what we were doing as at 17th May 2021. It’ll give you ideas of why the contract can’t be completed on the specified date.

That’s why I’d rather have you go through all valid datas, ask questions from both parties before making assertions. It doesn’t speak well of a pro to jump into conclusion based on a one-sided account.

You’re just doing a job of a prosecution counsel instead of a non-bias valuer.
What is the date on the contract?
when was the first payment released to you?

You actually believe you are playing games here because its not your sweat involved since you don't have a brand name to protect?

And if there was any delay according to you, it was worth stalling for 4 months?

This proves nothing. It only buttress my point that the quote was discounted.

Even at this “Did both fence project run concurrently as requested?” No!

So you got a 33% discount, terminated the contract and still want to claim damages
Terminated the contract you were suppose to complete on the 20th of May by 25th of September?

Did your "discount" include completing the job when you feel like or did the deadline included in the contract by you not count for anything?

20th of May to 25th of September is how many months?

You’re not me though so don’t assume my position. I just provided you a written document that was presented to my client When he asked for estimate for the security house.

It can’t be anything different from what was written down.
So you were forced to sign the official contract?

You were forced to put up 1.4m?

Maybe you forgot the condition you put up when you decided to accept 1.4m against the 1.5m I even offered?

You wanted my younger brother fence project which I secured for you.

Why did I pay up 97.5% of the total sum in advance?

Why did I provide money for a store house?

I did all these to make sure he buys materials we know aren't stable price wise for stockpiling.

If I was to be rigid and follow the contract he drafted, he would have ran into roadblocks very early on.

Even at that, I was reasonable enough to make sure he succeeded by releasing funds earlier than expected.

I want you all to know that 3 bids were submitted, his was the highest. So when I hear of "concession" I shake my head.

If you’re to show the picture of the house as at today and what it look like 7 months ago, the only noticeable difference that can be found on it is just the roof and nothing more.

We’ve completed the major works as at May. We are only waiting for all the dependencies to fix the roof. Some of which you didn’t do until September 2021
The dwarf fence you built for my younger brother was just a fence and took more than 8 days. Show proof it was 8 days.

If you completed the major works as at may, what "dependencies" expected from me took 4 to 5 months to do?

Were these "dependencies" (since you want to hide lies in big words) why the workers on the estate building asked to use left over from their own job to cast the pillars and you refusing to pay them + the carpenter that did the coppings threatening to go remove them because you didn't pay him?

Or the 2 cement suppliers that kept calling me and the MD of the estate because you failed to pay them then?

List them here.

After listing them, tell the house if you ever brought them up before deadline and asked they be done and I didn't oblige.

I made my offer based on the contract document that bind us but you want me to accept hook, line and sinker all the errors put together in the valuation report.
Were you forced to pick any job?

Now let me lay these things up for people to read.

Did you not know these things would be needed before you can complete your job when you boasted that you can finish the job in 1 month? When we agreed on 3 months, did you not know or aren't you the best "Engineer" on this thread according to you?

You recommended we sandfill the compound to aide the foundation according to you and chose to handle that too which took almost 2 weeks to be done (less than 7 trips of sand) because you kept recycling workers.

Same with the fence and gatehouse, he said it'd take 2 weeks to complete but took more than a month and still wasn't completed.

Most of these new additions came around May and some after May which means they weren't expected to stop your initial contract completion deadline.

Contract was to be completed on the 8th of May, which of the variations came up before then?

Since you're looking for everything to prove why you didn't complete your job 5 months after, tell us how these new jobs stopped you from completing everything in 7 months (March 8th to September 25th).

Does it take 4 months + to build a dwarf fence and a gatehouse + sandfilling?

Somehow did the QS used the contract bill of quantities to do the valuation on site? Also confirm if there is any off-site materials to be delivered and valued from N3xt.

N3xt you need to present the value of work done vis a vis the contract boq and payment received so far.

He has been running from taking responsibility and even said its the QS that's at fault. Infact he said Qsfemi is a novice and not qualified to be a QS.

He was told to come to site to take stock and present his handover note 3 months ago. 3 days before the QS visited site for valuation, he didn't show up nor sent anyone. Didn't provide anything to show where he stopped work only to come disagree with everything the QS did.

Using this to stall refund.

Did you receive a quote for the steel trusses from a separate company or not? Is QS part of NextHome’s company to help us make a downward review of our estimates? Did this ever happened on any of the contracts we handled?

So if there’s issue with the subcontractors work and we offered to help fix it at no cost to you when you raised it but you refused and you hurriedly went to fix it by yourself. I don’t know what else to do.

Sufficient evidence to back this up is available on request.
Show the house if the contract signed excluded the roofing and if at anytime, the contract was modified to exclude the roof.

Show the house if whoever you gave the roofing job to was known to me or that I negotiated anything with him.

Show the house if I negotiated any part of the contract with anyone else but you.

Show the house if you refunded me for any part of the job I still expected you to do.

Show the house where you were told not to roof the house anytime during the contract days.

Seen.

I believe you gave them a Program before the commencement of the contract. Did you work according to program or you defaulted in time ( as per items in your contract bill).

Any additional work or variation cost should be presented to the client along with its time implication for approval. Hence, the moment the client has given you approval on the additional work, you are expected to present a revised program incoporating the approved additional works


This will keep both parties in check as an increased scope of work will not be expected to be completed with the same contract duration.


Determination of the contract shouldn't have been the immediate recommendation of the Q.S. This may not favour the client on the long run. Double expenses on most preliminaries.


Based on what I read, The Clients Qs only visited the site when the project was having this issue, He should have been more frequent with the project from start. Coming in at a critical stage of the project to recommend determination seems too harsh.


Overall, I don't believe in settling issues online. This will definitely affect your brand. Most new client might want to Google your company name before awarding you a contract and seeing all these controversies popping up might not be a good one. For peace to reign, you'll need to make certain sacrifices.


I wish all parties the very best.
And you believe the nonsense he wrote because he typed sermon?

Since you are interested in the issue, maybe you should take time to read through some of the posts made on this thread concerning the issue, that should give you a better understanding of the case.

Now that it's the QS he has shifted his inability to honor the contract he drafted nor refund for 3 months counting, I will wait to see what else he comes up with when that is debunked.

This dishonest jobber had the audacity to claim that the roofing aspect of the contract wasn't his responsibility even though he was the one that recommended the change from wood to steel, sent in the new bill and was paid the difference directly without having any contact with whoever he planned to use just because the quote was in another person's name.

How dishonest can one be again?

Time baits him.

Interestingly, we are here because of QS submission/recommendation. I’m not making additional claims on my part other than what was in my contract.

If a professional QS can’t spot errors in his submission/calculations, then I shouldn’t be the one to point it out again.
We’ve had to do the same thing over and over for months and it seems I’m deliberately stalling the process when I’m actually stating the obvious.

Conflicts and delays are just the end result of everything that has gone wrong prior to.
Often times, most clients want to track expenses forgetting that it is insufficient, inadequate or ineffective progress tracking and re-planning as the project proceeds through execution that causes devastating impact on a project’s momentum.

Showing up unexpectedly at the twist of event, recommending termination of an ongoing contract for ?? and recommending the client spend more to complete a fixed sum contract with over-optimism that the contractor can be cornered, intimidated or bullied into making a refund for all additional expenses are some of the biggest pitfall of the project.

I didn’t expect anything less because this is coming from someone who hasn’t visited the project until he was invited and was only acting on what he was told.

I played a similar role on another project that we just completed few weeks back and none of the subcontractors involved were sacked because I knew a project’s overrun is a result of inaccurate analysis and planning and it cost more to fix when wrong approach and strategy are applied.

The project owner suffers the most when wrong decisions are made.

Go back to the thread https://www.nairaland.com/6450270/construction-journal-xl6-trillion-atrium and read from page one to the last page and ask yourself a simple question, “What could make this beautiful project hit the brick?”

We worked non-stop

Note: I used the same QS for one of my project this year even though his bill was thrown away by my client.
What a shameless human you are.

I believe alot of people (true professionals) on this thread have used @Qsfemi, so they have alot to say about him.

I guess it was the QS that made you abandon the project for almost 5 months too or told you not to come around for proper handover when you were asked to even on this thread.

You can run here to play Saint but go dumb with me offline.

Keep running your mouth here, the end shall justify the means.

kindly explain this cause I don't understand what you mean

"More usable spaces in the "air""
Like this high rise bungalow, the difference between the bungalow is the absence of stairs and usable first floor spaces created in the "air".

Do you get me now?
