michlins: Can you design something for a commercial estate of 20 flats. We are looking at about 15,000 to 20,000 litres of water. Also let's compare steel tanks to using rubber tanks. Thanks |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by michlins(m): 10:24am On Jan 08, 2022 |
Larwin:for a 20,000 liters, it's best to do steel tank. That's the only way the water pressure will remain constant same until the last drop of water. |

Good morning house. Here is the mediation update about the construction saga btw mr brabus and somehow which I stand as mediator btw them to see how the matter can be solved amicably. As I said last time that I will update the house, here we go, straight to the point in short paragraph The mediation start on 28th/ 29th of dec 2021. After much time on call coupled with sms and whatzap messages with mr brabus. Like 20min, 40min, 30min and so so, the last time we talk on phone was about 80min (1;20min) straight talk, ( I almost get hear problem that day) I also reached MR somehow” through messages etc. I tried to get two things done. - the amount due to pay back -time to pay back On the amount due to pay back, MR brabus said he can ONLY pay N1m back based on his own calculation against N2m QS valuation . Now after much discussion with him (brabus) he said he will do something by adding to the N1m when his head cool down, plus when meet with his cleint one in one to run mind together ( I suggested this to him) Let me say I won this part of battle halve way. Now to the second one “ time to pay the initial 1m, after another serious discussion MR brabus said the said N1m and is not ready at the time we discussed this ( 6th of January) and I asked when bcs its urgent and he promised to get back to me on the time, but up till now he as not get back to me, I message him but no reply yet. I always report our discussion to mr “somehow” he do also follow up. At the moment NO penny as been paid ( I don’t achieved my aim fully on this matter, do I called it failed mediation, hmm No bcs I I gain some I loss some. But generally I get something about life on this matter. So as it’s now I don’t know if the client ( mr somehow will use another form to retrieve his money back or still go back to mediation. As I will take a small break about the matter and leave it for the cleint to decide. I thanks MR somehow for his gentility and understanding toward the matter. I also thanks MR Brabus for his time also, I will not forget others good people here who want the matter to be settled amicably. Thank you all for your time. Rotech. 15 Likes |

rotecch77: Hello Rotech. Thank you for what you have done so far. You may yet be able to bring this to a conclusion that is satisfying to the house. We appreciate what you have done. Next, I am going to admit that I didn't know the whole story. I review previous comments to get an idea of the dispute. I saw comments from our friends here telling you that you need to do the needful. You are among the few I have spoken to on this forum and you have assisted me in the past. To be frank with you, It's a let down to your client and some of us rooting for you to succeed and overcome the checkered past that some are always waiting to throw in your face. The fact that you get fired from the project is enough for you to have settled this with your client so that it is not a topic of discussion on this forum. There are many things you could have done if the client is not been reasonable such as bringing in people you have help to resolved their own dispute. The fact that you are dragging this out is costing you more than #2 million. Unless I am mistaking, you should be making more than #2million profit on a project. How many people reading this back and forth and that you told the mediator you will let him know when you will pay #1 million after your head cool down will consider you reasonable and will want to give you work? As you talk the talk try and work(walk) the work. Make it a matter of urgency to liaise with the mediator and settle with your client ASAP. This is the advice I will give to my own child. A word they said is enough for the wise that is surely wise. 6 Likes |

Segzy14 @Segzy14 (Sam) go and supply the blocks you stole and complete the lintel (blockwork stage 2) job. I paid you 600k for workmanship and 100k for supervision, you were never on-site to supervise. Haji M. and Egun the elders here on the property section reached out to you, you ignored their messages. I have also tried several times contacting you but no replies to my calls and messages because l am a woman you think you can cheat me and get away with it. You have no integrity, you are a thief and a liar. Beware (new members on property section) everyone and DO NOT let him handle your project. He is a one-chance engineer. 7 Likes 1 Share |

rotecch77: Very sad reading this. The money was meant to execute the project, it's obvious the funds were channeled into something different from what it was paid for (otherwise the money for the unexecuted part of the project should still be available). That alone is sufficient to establish dishonesty and fraudulent intent. I would say I was one of those that felt people that came here trying to dig out his past were just trying to bully him into silence. But it's obvious I was wrong. 10 Likes |

Alaru T'onje Buredi[size=12pt][/size] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9DMqHSD4hFE Alaru T'onje Buredi - The Porter who eats bread. For non speaking Yoruba folks, Alaru are porters that help people to "carry load" or off-load lorries in a market place. In the 60s and 70s, they carry this load on their HEAD. This means the head (scalp) was a prized asset in this context. In the 60s and 70s, BREAD was a luxury item mainly for the rich and the aje butters. So a porter (contractor) that (fraudulently) buys bread to eat, must be up to something. The porter is eating away his/her future. From the above preamble, I will attempt to translate this Yoruba folk song to draw a parallel to contractors and artisans here. Enjoy and reflect: Alaru T'onje Buredi by Tunji Oyelana Eni n’binu ko ma ma b’inu, On’ibaje ye-e se ba'je; Alaaru to n’je buredi o, S’awo ori e lo n’je ti o mo. They that are envious, don't be envious. Spoilers, stop being destructive. The porter (contractor) who eats bread, Is consuming his (her) own scalp unknowingly. Iwo ase’ni, ye-e se’ni mo, Oni’jamba ye se-e ka mo; Alaaru to n’je buredi o, S’awo ori e lo n’je ti o mo. Evil oppressors, stop oppressing people. Destroyer, stop being wicked. The porter (contractor) who eats bread, Is consuming his (her) own scalp unknowingly. Aro’ni’pin ranti iwaju, Aye le yi pa’da bo d’ola; Alaaru to n’je buredi o, S’awo ori e lo n’je ti o mo. They who look down on people, think of the future. This life can take the opposite direction in future. The porter (contractor) who eats bread, Is consuming his (her) own scalp unknowingly. Eni fe sa’re ko ma-a sa’re, Ma’d’eni to n'sa ti’re l’ese mu; Alaaru to n’je buredi o, S’awo ori e lo n’je ti o mo. They that want to run, should run. Do not shackle the feet of those that are running. The porter (contractor) who eats bread, Is consuming his (her) own scalp unknowingly. Iwo on’iro ye-e p'uro mo, Onijibiti ye-e gbe won san'le mo; Alaaru to n’je buredi o, S’awo ori e lo n’je ti o mo. They that lie, stop lying They that scam (419), stop defrauding people The porter (contractor) who eats bread, Is consuming his (her) own scalp unknowingly. Oni’gberaga ki lo nse e, Ki lo da t’enikan o da ri? Alaaru to n’je buredi o, S’awo ori e lo n’je ti o mo. They that are pompous, what's the matter with you. What have you achieved that no one has achieved. The porter (contractor) who eats bread, Is consuming his (her) own scalp unknowingly. Iwo jaguda ye-e gbe wiri mo, Iwo apa’niyan ranti esan; Alaaru to n’je buredi o, S’awo ori e lo n’je ti o mo. They that are street urchins, stop terrorising people. They that murder should think of the consequence. The porter (contractor) who eats bread, Is consuming his (her) own scalp unknowingly. 13 Likes |

Somehow, I can understand how it feels to lose one's hard earned money in this manner. I hope you'll be able to get your refund at the end of the day. I experienced something similar last year. My own saving grace(there was no legal binding) was that the contractor threatened me at some point. I had a chunk of my money refunded because of a very notable personality that he indicted in one of my recordings. I spent almost the equivalent of that money to pursue my case but I was satisfied that I took my money(my sweat) back. Truth is that majority of folks in this trade are well connected, plus the fact that they're also aware of the many pitfalls in the documents they present to the unsuspecting clients as contracts. It makes it difficult to get your refunds unless it's done willingly. There's no doubt that you've learnt your lesson. Good luck in your project sir. 5 Likes |
