BiigTee: To be candid and blunt, I think the new engineer con you. He capitalized on your fear. That building footprint doesn't need what he did, especially when the structural drawing was followed. Except the structural drawing was incorrect. It doesn't look like any beam spans more than 4m. Edit: this is not to say that there was no error in levelling. 1 Like |

Before we crucify the contractor: We should investigate the cause of the vibration while we hold the contractor for the sloping deck. Making him to refund for what is not his fault would not satisfy law of justice. He should only refund to the extent to which he is liable. Is the vibration caused by poor workmanship(eg poor concrete mix ratio)? Or inaccurate structural drawing? Or poor quality material? 1 Like |

GoodFaith:Because the account was registered for the purpose of the issue at hand. 1) first post: it quoted spyder880 and changed what was quoted 2) second post: he claimed having a contract to give the accused.

I've fired the building supervisor for my project he took to roofing level because of a suck away he built whose slab is sloppy and other shortfalls too annoying to mention. He didn't know I was going to show up at the site on that day, he only mobilized some rookies to site and travelled to another town and those ones ended up doing a shoddy job. I practically was the one telling them what to do ... just imagine! Although, I've learnt my lesson. dapotemi: |

Beframia:Well, to me there's no "professional" in building as far as Nigeria is concerned. What the self acclaimed professionals do with people's projects is trial and error and the client ends up being the one teaching them what to do and even how to do it. I handle my projects myself because I can't afford to pay a "professional" and end up supervising the professional. I wish people will learn how to go about their projects, then they would realize that the money they waste on foundation alone in the name of "professional this, professional that" would be enough to get them far into the project. 2 Likes |

Naijapal: OAKGroup: There is actually an established, scientific Formula for design Staircases, based on their Length and Height, to determine the Risers. Builders need to use it. The Half landing takes off the Leg Stres, Save Space and is pleasing . to the eyes Accidents may happen if a Staircase is not well designed because anyone may fall when walking on it. 2 Likes |

dapotemi: Most times, it is as a result of GREED, taking on too much jobs at a time. You might be a very good professional, but when you delegate your responsibility, without proper supervision time, bad things will happen to your name. I had the same experience with one of the contractors here on this thread. I paid him, he left his Workers to do the job but they were just slowing my work down and playing around because they said he was paying them on a daily basis and has been owing them for two weeks, despite having collected almost all the Amount billed for the job. I had to resort to giving them money from my pocket so that they wont delay my work any further, the fool was busy somewhere else but never opened up. Best thing is to take only jobs you know you have the capacity and time to oversee. 2 Likes |

rotecch77: God bless you. Take this as a learning experience (a very expensive one though), note where you went wrong, learn from it and get better at it. I am happy yourself and your Client have been able to AGREE to a Sum. A Good Name is Priceless. Like l said, l was judging you based on your work that l have seen and most of these are in the areas of Mechanical and Electrical, if you are into Building as well, l wish you well, going forward. Every Man will fall but Real Men are the ones that will get up and go further. @BigTee: Thank you for putting this matter to rest and agreeing at that resolution. Please, still allow someone independent and trained in Structures, to just have a look at it, no need to retain him, just let him say this Decking is still okay and will not crash one day. My fears may be unfounded but l will rather err, on the side of caution I nor get Liver like some people here. Edit: And Please dont forget your promise, once the agreement is done and dusted, you promise to remove your Posts on this (I wonder if that will not be too late or whether we can persuade all who are quoted them, to delete them ) |

In 2015, I wrote this but I’ve realized over the years that’s it’s very difficult for many people to comprehend my messages. This explains the reason why I stylishly dodge finishing in my builds and focus more on carcass. We’ve talked about engaging private consultants to oversee construction work done by contractors regardless their level of professionalism. It was right here that some folks claim there are pros here who do not require supervision. Just for those who wish to learn, engaging a private consultant on a project isn’t done because you doubted the competence of your builder but to avoid regrettable errors. He’s there to checkmate what the builder is doing and to also validate the quality of work as each milestone is attained. Imagine this was done on the issue raised above, one person would have spotted the error and request that the contractor correct his mistakes. _______ We’ve recently also talked about number of jobs that a builder can undertake at a time. Some still felt those who are not answering every call in every villages in Nigeria are not “called of god.” Some are moved by the busy works and activities. _______ Lastly, we’ve seen builders who chose to focus on their area of core competence. It’s still here we see people looking for a key from a builder engaged to handle only carcass. #AWonderfulWorld 1 Like

smallsmall: Experience has shaped us over the years. With my clients knowledge, I once delegated a project to an engineer recommended by my client’s folk and he messed up badly but I get to bear the brunt. Today, I personally supervise all my builds. I hardly miss a day on my site because I don’t take on more than one project at a time and I’ve learnt to set up boundaries/limit. 4 Likes |

n3xt: Brabus, l m sure, like everyone, you know that these Nairaland Quotes and Screen Shots you post, CANNOT BE INDEPENDENTLY VERIFIED, THAT THEY ACTUALLY EXISTED or are BEING FABRICATED. How l wish you provide working links to them and w can independently go and read what transpired, since you dont miss an opportunity to always use such unverifiable Screen Snaps to defend yourself. I think l remember that someone here accused you that you dont have a single Building, from Foundation to key-Handover, in your name and that is why you are seizing this opportunity to post the above. Bad, sharp Warri boy Anyway, you did a lot of this sort of these "unprofessional mistakes" in that 2014/2015/2016 period so, you can relate well with them so dont be an opportunist trying to use this single one of @Rotech 77, to take shine. 7 Likes |

smallsmall: Smiles. You should know I don’t cook up lies. The fact are up there to verify. As a matter of fact, the Brabus Nairaland ID ceased working since 2015 so there’s no way to modify posts or fabricate one. Just as I mentioned, a lot of folks will still read my posts and chose to attack the poster instead of taking the lessons. ______ Me an opportunists you mean. I laugh in Swahili. As a matter of fact, I’ve defended more builders here than anyone else can ever imagine. Just for the records, I’m still handling another negotiation for rotecch77 in the background without his knowledge. Do you need a proof? I won’t mind sharing my recent engagement with a potential client of his in the last few mins. ________ Even @rotecch77 won’t dare call me an opportunist. I make a bold statement. _________ I know you asked for link to my 2015 post. Here’s it https://www.nairaland.com/1588017/nexthome-builders-2014-2015-new/4#29974472 Brabus don’t delete posts.
