sonnie10: The QS valued the material met on site at the contract price Blocks - 200 Cement - 3,000 The QS now presented a bill of 3,800 to me per bag of cement to rebuy the same cement he met on site that I provided at 3,000 Th same applied to the blocks. The report claimed my client bought blocks at 280 after selling the ones that I produced on site at 200 to only God knows person. I smiled and smiled. ______ Lastly the report claimed an outrageous number of blocks were used to complete a portion of the project that were ongoing as at 25th September. I presented the time stamped picture of the building as at 24th and 25th September to the QS and asked him to show me where the blocks were used on the building

There was a valid claim that my client spent some extra money on to do some remedial work on the steel trusses installed. When this was brought to my notice, here’s my position. Unfortunately my client had a better plan. I got the rudest shock when my client said the QS said he should pass the bill to me. Who am I to stop him from spending monies that the QS who picked the contractor recommended that he should spend.

A confirmed thief, rogue and armed robber came to me in 2015 and told me he has repented from stealing. He told me he's a changed person and no longer takes what doesn't belong to him. My question to him was "Who did you sell your thiefry and jibiti to? " "Did they do a surgical b operation to remove your stealing talents" The thing wey dey smell for he-goat body dey him blood, no amount of soap and water can wash it out.

n3xt:Let’s not fan the flame of rancor by keeping it low. The client does not appear be someone who would sell blocks. Even an illiterate knows that there is time value for money. Much more in Nigeria where the official annual inflation rate from January 2021 to October 2021 is about 17.5%. Do the maths yourself for both materials you have used as example and you would discover that the QS is not far from the current reality. Now, because actual market price does necessarily follow official inflation rate, there is bound to be some differences, often times a high amount. Restoring client to their original state is the standard and should be the goal and fair thing to do here. Client original state is that he was able to pay full for all aspects of the original contract amount as at the time of payment. Remember innoson vs GT bank even up till Supreme Court, that was the position. Why do think he is being awarded more? A compromise is still possible. Client cannot get cement for #3000 as at today. If current price is #3800, but at 17.5% inflation rate it is should be about #3550. Do you think it’s a fair compromise? 1 Like |

sonnie10: Cement was never sold 3,000 at anytime this year but I kept my figures at 3,000 during the lifetime of the project. Neither did any blockmaker sold blocks at 200 at any time in the year 2021 but I kept my part of the bargain so that question of underquoting to pick a contract doesn’t arise. So the issue of inflation didn’t start in October. 3350 seems more like a WIN/WIN. Thanks. 1 Like |

n3xt:Mr Bosun, we know cement was never #3000 at any time during the year. But one thing is certain, you cannot eat the meat of the contract and leave the bone for the client. I remember vividly having the discussion with you here around that period regarding how blocks could be made or obtained at the #200 price. The truth is that it is Economics of scale and not really a discount in the true sense of it. You were able to do that due to the scope of the project (client’s input) and your capacity to handle such (contractor’s input). The incomplete portion of job is no longer up to such scale, thus the retail price of blocks. Your #3350 price for cement should be considered fair. The reason is because only 6 months have passed. 5 Likes |
