IDnoble80: What other materials did he need for building carcass? What else did you want to see on ground? Have you considered that the building was at roofing stage in about two months? Do the maths. A contract of about #15M. Let’s even agree that the balance left is #2M. Therefore #13M was actually used. Isn’t that about 90% completion before termination? The issue here is about what is left. 4 Likes |

sonnie10: Don't assume wrongly here. It wasn't also about 2 months but from May to September. It was not just roofing that was left undone, read further. The QS will post how he arrived at his value haven been part of the project from the start and haven also visited site when the contract was terminated to take pictures and see the current state of work. I also have invoices of all jobs done expected of N3xt which can be verified physically and otherwise. 1 Like |

somehow: Lie!! Anyone who know me knows I do milestone based payment. The only reason we had to accept advance payment was because of the I crease in cost of reinforcement the very first day the project was to commence. You were duly informed and I explained the implication of not stocking up to you. Your QS confirmed the rise in cost of reinforcement and approved the upfront payment for reinforcement. Interestingly I bought all the reinforcement to slab stage at once. Check the thread and stop twisting things. I attach screenshot below for reference.
Can you at least mention the materials that were not readily on site? Let me see if you have anything to share sir. Just feel free to share the extra things you bought that I’ve not provided. Please note we walked this route during the review and I asked you and the QS to provide evidence that you paid for certain things. I even atrached pictures to show you when I provided those things. For someone who doesn’t visit site but only rely on what he was told, I don’t expect anything less. Remember I attached the correspondence I had with your supervisor to show that I gave him money for all he needed for the job. Pls kindly share those things you bought sir.
I’m only providing refund for the roofing sheet that has not been installed, the coping yet to be poured and other accessories that comes with roof installation. Nothing more. That you spent money on trusses is not my worry because the trusses has been delivered as at April 2021. I’m also 100% confident you’re not asking me to provide a refund for blockwork. Need I remind you sir that I’m also providing a refund for the atrium glass that got broken on site due to the fact that we delivered it earlier than when it’ll be ready for installation. I’m sure insensitivity led you to ask for a refund for that which I’m happy to give back.
Please kindly provide evidence sir.
Feel free sir to list out all the materials that has not been bought. I’ll be happy to debunk the LIES in the open like I always do. I remembered your QS was asking for scaffold and he sent me a funny picture to show me you bought bamboo. Very laughable though!
If you are made to buy materials because someone recommended it, it’s not my fault. You could at least have double check with me before going ahead to buy buy buy.
The picture of the building 7 months ago is still on the thread, please kindly feel free to share what has been done different on the building and let’s see how much you’ve been ripped sir. Why are you afraid to share sir? As at October 2021, the blocks that I produced in May 2021 for the project are still on the site. What else did we not buy bayi o? Chekitaut supplied all the granite for the project as at April. Even cement were kept in the store for several months without use. I rest. 2 Likes 1 Share |

n3xt: This is very simple. Tell the house what you left on site as at on the 25th of September that was to be used to complete the job. Tell the house when you got the first and last Batches of payment. Tell the house why you have refunds to make if you actually bought the materials and left them on site as at May you got paid 97.5% Lets see who's lying here. And please show with proof what you left on site as at 25th of September. Pictures as at November 2021, less than a month after he was disengaged. Lets compare his own pictures before 25th. Everyone should observe the difference. Edit : Images removed after serving their purpose. 1 Like |

somehow:Please sir let’s not present this matter as if they are abstract, non physical objects. If you could, please give the house a brief detail of what was left undone. Don’t add figures to it. We would like to have an idea of scope of work that was incomplete before termination. |

somehow: The construction thread is there na to see pictures of what has been done as at May. Show me what you did different sir. It’s pretty simple!

sonnie10: Check what the QS posted. Check the pictures I posted above Let him post the pictures of where he stopped before getting sacked. There are things we did internally too. (casted 2 beams because the ones he casted were death traps). We still have one more beam to cast on the kitchen exit door that he didn't do + the block work on top of it. 1 Like |

somehow: I don’t take your QS a serious anymore since he can’t provide evidence of where the fictitious 126 pcs of 150mm blocks he claimed you bought were used on the security house. I honestly don’t bother reading whatever he share anymore because it’s worthless to me after 4the review. Once again, I’ll attach your security house here. Please kindly show me where 126 pcs of 150mm blocks were used. I know we didn’t use so much 150mm blocks in the main house. Aiye o!

The coppings were casted, (iron, cement and labor paid) both for main house and security house The roofing of both buildings were done and also felted The big slab besides the fins was casted (L shaped) The rest of the fins were casted (L shaped) Block work was done from lintel to roof for security house I made provision for the pillars for the security house since he claimed wasn't part of the 1.4m We did the German floor for the security house If you check the top floor of the main house, you'd see some block work we completed that won't be found on any of his pictures prior to 25th of September. We repaired the trusses that was badly installed. We bought and installed the atrium glass roof. Everyone can see who is getting agitated already having been shown the difference. 2 Likes |

Everyone should take screenshots of the pictures on the other thread before he goes there to edit the pictures to the new ones I just posted. If he can lie to me on site without knowing I was present, he can do anything. Anytime I burst his lies, he goes gutter and start saying unpleasant words. I have them on whatsapp. 1 Like |

somehow: Not contested.
Not contested.
The slab was casted in May. Check the thread.
I already paid for the materials required for this. Ask your supervisor.
More than enough blocks were on site that I produced in May. The only block I bought from outside are 6 inches block because the quantity required is not worth the stress.
I remembered you wanted 6 columns in the security house and I asked you how many columns do we have in the main house. I didn’t claim it wasn’t there. I told you that you can’t pay for 10 pcs of iron rods for the whole security house and be asking for 6 pillars. Kindly refer to the 2.1m quote. We only made provision for 10 pcs of 12mm iron rod for the security house.
This was also laughable too! The QS claimed 8 bags was used for the flooring. You can do 100 bags but you didn’t pay me that much sha.
Not contested.
I have nothing to say here. I offered to do it at no cost to you but you bluntly refused.
We paid for this and had it delivered on site as at May 2021. Check the record. I’m happy to refund the cost.
Is that all? When I saw 97.5% advance payment, I was expecting to see we bought 30 tons truck of granite, trailer load of cement etc. It’s well sha! 2 Likes 1 Share |

n3xt: You have posted the pictures of the fins you did which was after you broke off the bad ones you did. You were doing woodwork ( for just 3 fins) because you wanted to reuse the woods to do others and this was only for the down sides before you were sent off. From the 60k you sent him, we can see how much went to labor and what the labor did. Are you saying your 60k completed the fins as against what he said here? So how did you pay for the completion of the fins or did he lie against you? Check the date of the chat. 2 Likes
