This petty fraudster is not miles ahead of anyone!!!
He only relies on silence of many on this forum (and dare I say cowardice of some) to continue.

It is not a coincidence that his fraudulent activities had been limited on this forum until now.

QSFemi:

At this point, I've a duty to set some records straight and establish the facts of the Trillion Park Building project belonging to my client, known here as Somehow.

There's an undeniable fact that there's already an ongoing dispute between the project owner and the contractor who happens to be a known member of this noble thread - @N3xt.

As a Professional Quantity Surveyor, I owe a duty of care to my client, the project and the contractor and I've sworn an oath to discharge my quantity surveying duties to the best of my knowledge and competence without fear or favour. That has always been my mantra and I've lived up to this expectations as best as I could. This is evident considering the myriads of clients that have patronised my services here on this thread, many of whom, I did not even know in person.
Most of the clients I have worked for here can attest to my competence, sincerity and most importantly integrity.

For the record, I recommended Next Home and Builders, the company name of N3xt for the award of the contract anonymously after I have reviewed three quotations at my disposal. I made the recommendation without knowing any of the contractors because it was the client that sourced for them. It was after the contract has been awarded to Messrs Next Home and Builders that I get to know the personality behind the name. That means that there wasn't any bias from my end towards the award. For the record again, the tender sum of the contractor that won the award was not the lowest among the three. For those following my professional writings here, I've emphasized times without number that projects are awarded to the least responsive bid. The project was awarded to the contractor at his own tender price.

The scope of work for the contract entails the construction of the carcass of the building including the roofing. The contract was meant to run for just two months commencing from March to April.

In September 24th, I recommended the termination of Next Homes and Builders contract after the project has been overrun by 5 months and there wasn't any real action being shown towards the completion of the contract by the said contractor. After the termination, the contractor was asked to prepare and submit a handover notes and present himself on site for assessment of work done and undone in order to have a financial reconciliation. The contractor failed not only in submitting a handover note but also in presenting himself on the 28th of September which was the date I eventually visited the site for the first time. It should be on record too that the contractor failed to even send a representative.

As it stands now, there's dispute on the contract as to how much is due for refund. I've presented my client's refund amount due to the contractor which has been contested on several occasions with some reviews even done to accommodate some of his logical submissions.

Professionally, in dispute resolution, the following four methods can be applied, viz.,

1). Mediation
2) Conciliation
3) Arbitration
4) Litigation

From all indications, the contractor wants the client to go to any length that he cares even to the point of litigation because there's no iota of commitment on his part towards resolving the issue.

I have advised prior to now that an independent registered Quantity Surveyor be engaged to establish the amount due for refund but no serious action has been taken to effect that.

@N3xt, I put it to you here that you do not want to go the way of Arbitration, which take a considerably lesser time, to adjudge the matter at hand. In your own interest, I will advise you here to seek alternative means of dispute resolution to have an amicable solution.

Cheers.

Ogami he hasn’t met his match to be honest… by now he should be cooling off somewhere in the military Barack… court will take time but sometime for someone like this real violence is needed!!! Trust me he will pay every penny owe… he is here causing people pain and he is still laughing about it….

n3xt:


By now the smart ones on this forum would have understand how difficult you are sir?

When do you expect me to respond to a question asked on the 14th May? Do you expect it to come earlier than 14th May?

It’s wel!

This is just one of the too many issues you give on your project. Too many back and forths on unnecessaries

QSFemi:


Fact 1: You agreed that you're owing the client some refund from contracted items of work that were not done by you.

Fact 2: You disputed the amount submitted in the valuation as the amount due for refund.

These two facts bring us to an unavoidable question; in your own evaluation, education, competence and intelligence, how much are you owing the client?

vanbonattel:


If he answers this question, I will deactivate my account

MMotimo:


Unless the definition of smart has changed, the bolded is hilarious.

What the smart people do see is a pattern of deceit spanning at least 10 years and multiple cases. Not limited to builds alone but expanded to manipulating/ posting photos with intent to deceive. I have highlighted a few already but there are many more photo stories that present a false image.

QC1 , you and somehow had an exchange back in March after I resurrected N3xt / brabusng / brabus’ history; little did we know we’d be reading all these just a few months later.

n3xt:

FEGEITOK:


Bolded is my cue to let be.

I don't do ad hominem.

Good luck.

I've made my point.

I therefore disengage.

A contractual dispute between a builder and a homeowner is not one on one with a land dispute between a seller (or sellers) and a buyer (or buyers) of a disputed land or house.

For those who are curious, a bank placed a PND on an account without due process, the guy understood the language of rights/liabilities, he also understood that the law does not take kindly to trampling a legal right, in less than 2 years, he was 5m richer, bank knew the judgment was solid, instead of appealing, they simply complied with the judgment of the High Court.

I will not go into the details of 10m judgment, the above example suffices.

You have a choice, go to CBN or go to the courts, it is your call.

You have a choice, use police or army to resolve a civil misunderstanding, and bear the consequences, if the other party understands the language of rights/liabilities, and also understands that the law does not take kindly to trampling a legal right, and that the police/army have no place in civil disputes, then be ready for the floodgates that will pour afterwards.

Peace.

Out.

saydfact:


Maybe I'm not smart (and sincerely I've not followed or read what the issue is or issues are.)

But what's on my head is, IS THERE ANY MONTH OR YEAR THAT YOU WON'T HAVE ISSUES TO SORT HERE?

Don't get me wrong, I'm not blaming me as I do not know what the issue is.... BUT IF YOU ACT SMARTLY, You shd have learnt from past experiences and avoided any reoccurrence or any new issue at that.


Comon N3xt, put a stop to this b4 2022......

Goodluck

twinskenny:


I pray he listen and yield to this…

vanbonattel:


These friends here are telling me something else

They said brabus / n3xt once agreed to do a build for someone, the relatives in naija wanted him to build in their cut, he but in #2 million and then seized their money when the abroad guy paid. The sister frequented his hotel and was collecting her share in bits and pieces, when he suddenly stopped paying them in bits and stopped the building, the whole family fought themselves dirty as he leaked the beans on each party.

This guy is a genius

QSFemi:
Sighs!!!

In the meantime, I want to ask you one question openly here.

Fact 1: You agreed that you're owing the client some refund from contracted items of work that were not done by you.

Fact 2: You disputed the amount submitted in the valuation as the amount due for refund.

These two facts bring us to an unavoidable question; in your own evaluation, education, competence and intelligence, how much are you owing the client?

Hi, anyone here know how long does those spot light last? Thank you.

twinskenny:


The two colour type? You know the name of the product? Always better to get the single colour type… either white or warm white

QSFemi:
Sighs!!!

Good evening all.

Qc1:



I have white and blue. I forgot the brand name.

ArchyDesmond:


If i may ask, How was he able to owe the client a substantial amount of money at almost project completion.

I believe this might be due to a high percentage of Advance payment given to him.

In other to protect the client, You/The client could have asked for a bank bond to avoid issues like this. Also, A monthly valuation should have been issued and the advance payment amortized effectively within the stipulated contract period. What does your contract agreement says regarding Retention and LADs?

@ N3XT Your joke about enjoying semo before dignifying your client with a response and all those laughing emojis is highly insensitive and very unnecessary

QSFemi:
Good. We're getting somewhere.

What about the Security House, did you owe any amount on it? If yes, how much?

QSFemi:
I do not want to divert attention from the ongoing conversation I'm having with him here.

But a short response to your points are as follows;

1) A performance bond from a reputable bank was asked to be provided but he couldn't meet up.

2) The payment method of the project was quite unusual due to unexpected inflation in the price of materials while the project was ongoing. In order to cushion that effect, we've to pay on advance so that materials could be bought and stockpiled on site.

There's no retention and LAD clause in the contract.

Don’t forget we were having a fixed-sum contract and there was never a time this year that cement was sold for N3,000 or unit of 9 inches block sold at N200 which were the official rates in the contract and which I abided with up till termination of the contract.

So, I made request for an upfront payment to keep my part of the bargainwhich I did. that explains why I was in a rush to get the carcass off my hook in May.

twinskenny:
depending on the making and how steady your voltage is

n3xt:


I’m not owing a dime on the security house. You were too much in a hurry to terminate an ongoing project that had all its materials already purchased on ground and ready to be installed.

I already gave 700k discount off the quote submitted for the fence and security house estimate. I won’t be able to do any more on that.

QSFemi:
Attached was the picture of the Security House taken on the 28th of September, 2021, the day I visited the site after your contract has been terminated. Did you by any chance complete the items of work you were contracted to do on it?

Some of the items include;

1) Completion of Block work
2) Lintel (Concrete work, reinforcements and formwork)
3) Roofing woodwork and roofing covering (long span aluminium)

As regards the bolded claim, no discount was given by you, rather you agreed to beat down your estimate to the contract amount for the Perimeter fence and Security House.
