QSFemi: Sure it does. It help put everything in true perspective. ______ For those who felt, I’ve not done well enough to allow things to come to the open forum. May I ask “How else would we have been able to come up with more than 4 different reviews if I’ve not been having a close-door discussion with the client and his representatives?” I’ll upload all the reports, agreements and other correspondences on slideshare for those who want to see the true picture of things. 2 Likes 1 Share |

MMotimo: 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. If you understand how being a digital currency merchant work, then you'd know why I became a target then. 6 Likes |

n3xt: 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. 2 Likes |

Let me set this straight, @somehow is in this mess because he refused to listen, learn from other people mistake and he trying to show he is smart and wise. Earlier this year @Mmito brought the issue of next and it took almost 25 pages, I was among those asking her to let it slide that who had enough and we want to talk about other issues, somehow saw them and he did not learn. 4 Likes |

somehow: As I’ve shared with you and the QS sir, the building is yours and you’re free to spend whatever sum you like to get the job done. It’s not an issue for me. I remembered paying the a QS 200k to prepare me a BOQ that was eventually thrown out for a bid that I ended up securing with my non-professional Bill of Quantities. I own the money and chose what to do with it. What I won’t do is to pass the cost of the BOQ to my client because he didn’t ask me to spend such money. That’s why I won’t be in such a hurry to fire a contractor in an ongoing project. If eventually that route will be followed, I’ll ensure we reconcile all accounts before doing anything on the project to prevent conflicts and disagreements. 2 Likes 1 Share |

n3xt: Did you read what you wrote? Can you read the last part of the contract you prepared? Let me post it here so that you can interpret it to the house So May to September is in a hurry? Everyone can see what is coming out from his mouth. Let him post the picture of the building as at May and then the pictures as at September, let the house see what he actually did for 4 months when no issues for that long delay came up. You were asked to come to site for handover and stock taking, you refused, nor sent anyone, yet you have the audacity to type this? You have my figures already and have my account number with the time I gave you for a refund (even though its supposed to be instant since you're with my money). Till then, I will stop replying you here. 2 Likes

somehow: @Somehow and N3xt both of you should find a level ground to resolve this matter once and for all. Somehow have invited his own QS to value the workdone on site and he has submitted his report based on what he met and workdone so far. I believe the QS was fully involved during the tendering stage and have the full knowledge of the scope awarded to N3xt. @N3xt you promised to give us your own QS report based on the value of workdone too. I believe that the two QS used the same contract boq for this exercise. Pls let's have the two valuations and compare apple for apple, then we will get to the root of this matter. Pls N3xt let's have your QS valuation. 4 Likes 1 Share |

somehow: I’m quite sure you don’t understand what is called dependencies in a project sir and you chose to deliberately ignore. By the way, here’s our discussion in September about what has to be done prior to roofing and not after roofing. Pls kindly help me understand how you want to see a roof installed according to the contract in May when: >> a change order request was made to install steel truss instead of using wood which was what we agreed to do in the contract. >> we spent over a month waiting for the roof steel installer to come and do the installation of the roof. Regardless of your claims, you were reliably informed and the contract spelt out what excusable delays covers. The fabrication of the trusses were long completed even as at end of April. >> the plastering of the parapet walls wasn’t done until 2 months after we stopped work on the structure in May. Am I the one stalling that? Or was it part of my contract? >> the contract to install Atrium windows wasn’t awarded until sometimes in September. You specifically requested we shouldn’t install the roof before your window is done.
We spent the extra four months waiting on you to complete the dependencies. We did no major work on the structure between those times. The records are there to verify.
Thank you and I refunded the money back to you when you asked for it. I remember it was done out of reluctance when I told you the glass won’t have broken if we haven’t brought it to site. I can imagine what will have happened if we put roofing sheets on site while waiting for all the dependencies to get completed.
How was it a lie? All evidence shows that I was paying your supervisor who was on site to manage the construction when all we do is “He told me to tell you” To prevent miscommunication, I decided to fully engage him to handle the security house. Even during the reviews, I asked that you provide evidence that you paid for all the materials used prior to the termination, I didn’t get a single reply. So where’s the lie about the status of work coming from?
Justice and fairness is what I care about now. 2 Likes 1 Share

topsy23: This I have asked for since September 25th but here we are still running in circles because he failed to show up to handover and take stock nor sent his representative to do this on his behalf. It points to one thing, he already planned everything from the start thinking by withholding my money with him, the project becomes stuck and then he can feel good. Unfortunately for him, this has further added to his negative reputation which was one of the things I hoped my project would have helped clean a bit. Everyone knows my stand now and what my competent QS came up with. So we can now see who has been dragging just as he dragged the project by 4 months. 2 Likes |

topsy23: Here’s my position and message to the client when I first saw the valuation report: I’ve checked the QS doc. It actually undervalued the project instead of carrying out an independent/unbias valuation of the work done. It is expected. Certain things defy logic. I know we might have a similar issue if I chose to go same route, hence the reason I worked with the contract bill of quantities. I ticked off what was done and sum up the cost of what wasn’t done. Pretty simple. 1 Like 1 Share

somehow: Until I’m able to get answer to the question below, I won’t take any of the report serious. It shows the figures were just concorted. I know this was cleverly dodged in other submissions. A good example is the valuation of the fence. A 84m fence with over 20 reinforced concrete columns, 600mm reinforced concrete raft, and sandcrete block was valued at N770,000 while a 10sqm security house was valued at N630,000 |

@somehow @next Is it possible to bring in an independent QS? |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by somehow: 9:53am On Dec 28, 2021 |
twinskenny: Anything that gets me what he made me spend to complete his job. I have given him my official report based on what a qualified QS (same one that picked him) submitted, so the onus lie on him to do likewise. This would have been solved earlier on if he submitted his handover note/valuation when he was asked. If he had sent his own QS then, both QS would have solved the whole thing as professionals but he never did because he was planning not to pay me as at when due going by how he kept coming up with objections without providing his for months. There are alot of things I had to redo which weren't even captured by the valuation and you can bear witness to this having been to site. 3 Likes |
