olukaygold: even though i may not agree with your approach but....damn..!! some clients wicked die.... they'll only seek for information's from u and when its time to award the contract ..dey will just blank out.... no one prays for a wasted effort truly. That was how a colleague of mine got an invite to come to portharcourt to check a project and submit quotation... brethren, My friend was kidnapped... he was dispossessed ..beaten to stupor...and disposed off after spending 4days with the kidnappers.. May God save us..!! 4 Likes |

DMTtechnologies:Person has to becareful,I was not even doubting the client cos my mind was telling me she's from Money121. I just have to requested for 30% to secure the contract cos I think I've let her know too much through calls,so going to her Site and tell them what to do would expose the brainchild of the Work to another roofers which he'll do it easily.

olukaygold:Hmm Deep but I think in my own bk, I will find it hard to pay any upfront money to a contractor for my site when they have not physically visited the site to make xteemation etc. You must have 1st hand projection of the job. There are cases where people have paid % upfront and the contractor vanished, as you can see, both sides share the risks equally, but as for kidnap me I nor get answer on that one ohhhh.If I have a job big enough to advertise and take offers, its up to you the workman to give me your own quotation based on your assessment. If you underquote cos you failed to carry out a physical assessment and valuation of site that's your own problem, you are the one who is going to fill in the gaps in the shortfall.(This is how workmen get into trouble)You as a contractor/builder at this level should be able to devise a more suiting system to deal with these type of situations. even if it means adding the services of a QS 3 Likes |

erico2k2:Actually I don't always request for funds before coming to the Site. I told her I'll come when she's ready to give me the contract. And if I come there, I'll collect 30% and tell her bricklayers/engineer what to do,so when they're done, I'll go there again with my team of carpenters (that 30% is part of payment of me coming there and doing some works with the client Bricklayers). I didn't tell her to send me money before coming. She's only offering me transportation fees which I declined. 5 Likes |

FEGEITOK:That will be a good idea, land + location determines value cost of building. I missed out on FO1 allocation when El Rufai was the minister of FCT. My brother then is begging me to buy from the allocation is less then 2 million everything inclusive. Years later when I decided to buy from resale I couldn’t get any for less them 8m move to FO2 bought @ 5m 8 years ago. I don’t even know how much those areas worth at present. |

Good afternoon house. I want to start a project in January and I'm a complete novice. I've studied this thread for weeks and honestly I've learnt a whole lot. I, however feel it's still wise to ask the professionals and experienced members here on what are the first steps to take. Also, I would appreciate if anyone can recommend an Engineer (preferably in Abuja). I want someone who is honest and doesn't compromise on quality. All responses are highly welcome. Thank you. |

DMTtechnologies:ah so sorry about your friend's ordeal he should have known na. I was almost a victim of kidnappers at ibadan here, I even created a thread for it. Once a client start acting like WhatsApp chat is not trust worthy for him that he wants you present on site immediately that's a red flag bro, but I understand the rush I know that feeling when you think it's a project that will trabaye u will want to put in everything you can. Kidnappers are everywhere o don't even go somewhere with not less 2persons. They mostly use foreign numbers these days and claim to be based abroad. |

kopell: Thank you so much Mr kopell. I've actually been following Mr abdulwastecx's works, but as we've seen on this thread some people are usually different in real life from Nairaland. Have you worked with him directly before? Or Mr hajivince? Also, any tips for me especially on starting a project? Are there things I must do? Once again, thanks for responding. |
