spyder880:managing family members when you're on a project is such a big issue with them telling the clients this or that about a job they don't know the contractual agreement. First they require you inflate the contract to accommodate their own kickback and then when you say no, you automatically become an enemy and everything you do or supply is regarded as inferior. The client being far away is torn between trusting a stranger over family. Family members will want their own person who they know will settle them to come before you. Puts everyone in a difficult position. That's why am so envious of you though. We all see the projects you do moving seamlessly but behind the scenes is what we don't know about. The fights and the squabbles you encounter daily yet you try to deliver on time without a single delay. Keep it up and enjoy the "forced holidays" 3 Likes |

somehow: I don’t know the percentage of housing deficit in Nigeria but I know the number of vacant properties in most residential estates (government or private-owned) in the country. I can take you to several estates on Lagos/Ibadan Expressway without occupants. |

n3xt: They built what is not in demand. No low cost housing can stay vacant for long. In business, you produce to fill a gap. Those who need houses badly can't afford all these expensive buildings littering everywhere! 4 Likes |

micgray100:with a due respect sir i think u are taking this professionalism thing a bit too far sir. so what u are basically saying is that a hnd holder shouldn't practice what he studied maybe he should go and do money ritual since he doesn't carry that big name tag to his title? bossman u are an engineer i know that but trust me in structures i don't think u can really go head to head with me even as at 5years ago, i have far gone off to a point i now design for California engineers i ve linked with via upwork and quora, u know what that means right, u have to start studying their design codes, seismic design etc have u even gone into those, or should i send u a design i made for an arab engineer some year back. yet i am not coren certified. all that body does is eat money and eat more money, their conferences are filled with old men sleeping all through the conference lol. in the firm i currently work my ceo will never want to loose me, he dares not i dont even go to office often, i handle big contracts for my self too and they dare not owe me a penny at the month end, thats coz im that good but since i dont carry the coren tag should i stop working and go and start doing yahoo yahoo lol since that one needs no proffesionalism? sir i am not saying professionals shoiuldt be recognized but stop that intimidating talks coz its pointless. i know alot of coren engineers that cant do real design other copy and paste design, we both know the drafting is nothing, the calculation sheet is where the bosses are know. i mean real calculation done manually not those automated ones. my conclusion if u can do those then u are an engineer.

somehow: In order words, we have houses that no one is interested in living in. So it’s not really housing deficitt but misplaced priorities. In the 80s before the likes of sir diordavies came into real estate market, our elders built multi-dwelling units and multi-tenant units to address the housing needs of a growing population. I’m still at loss when we keep asking why the prices of building materials keep skyrocketing. It’s simply because we are overbuilding. |

n3xt: I want yam porridge You sent me pounded yam Have you supplied what I want? The houses you said are vacant were not built for those who need them, they were and are being built for returnees, deep pocket guys and politicians. These group of people can afford to build their own houses. So you can't use such houses to solve the housing deficit that has remained. 4 Likes |

micgray100: The drawings you've done never got to building stage ni abi bawo? Abi as a self acclaimed consultant structural engineer, you don't visit site at all before, during and after your drawings? What are you now consulting on! Alaiye, keep your shalaye to yourself, a professional won't advertise the way you did which only portrays you either as an upcoming or jobless/upatronized one bringing disrepute to the profession. There are lots of ways to do the advertisement and that's what I'm hinting at but if after your 12years working with a reputable firm,your consultancy head won't let you reason and come up with innovative ways to go about promoting yourself baba consultancy. Keep advertising Jawe, and you think you the only structural engineer on this platform! All the best SIR! Lemme answer my baba lati jawe |

spyder880: But the wire theft of a thing even after installing your windows and doors are kinda amusing cause you know the people you contracted for other job aspects which I assume should be limited or reduced to painting, cabinets, interior decor n the likes and assumed to be part of your team or known People. The risk of wire theft at that stage should be almost zero except they are breaking in big time and no one can stop that. My thought though. 1 Like |
