I don't want to mention names oh but if anybody did that in my house he/she will refund my labour cost or else,Im going to my village priest,the Igwe must hear about it

brabus:


Baba Agba! Yes, they did a cellular raft in Ori-Oke. It was even a Nairalander project done in 2011. I think Gbagada and Akoka are the worst terrain to build in Lagos. 40m depth in some part of Akoka (Not all that glitters are gold). I saw a 3 floor building vanished completely with my korokoro eyes in Akoka.

@chekitaut, the green building beside where you supplied is actually a storey building and not a bungalow. A whole floor has vanished completely.

Maybe, it's worth it to open discussion on worse terrain to build in Lagos.

@brabus,

Who built the house from foundation level to deking stage? At what stage your service was engaged and at what stage your service was no more needed?

brabus:


At foundation stage, it was a contract prepared by the owner based on NextHome estimate. The contract stopped at the Sandfilling of the house. All materials after Sandfilling were supplied by the owner. I only took up the role of supervision afterwards up to slab level.


I got disengaged completely from the project at the completion of the slab. There are records.

FastShipping:



Let me and the forum get this straight because your submission wasn't cleared.

Please, answer the following questions:


1. Did you just tell me your contract and work ended at the foundation level?

The contract to build a 6 unit of 2 bedroom house for mavverick was terminated at the Sandfilling stage on the grounds that filling work is too slow and that he was been shortchanged. All works afterwards were renegotiated on pay-as-you-go basis directly with different subtrades.

2. Who did the German floor?

I provided the labour and supervision the DPC because there were ongoing efforts by people to reconcile us.

3. Who did the block setting and pillars/columns after German floor level?

I provided the labour and supervision of the Block work, column and lintel formwork, Column extension are already prepared ready at foundation stage.

4. Who did the lintel work?

I provided the labour and supervision of the lintel work.

5. Who did the block settings after lintel work?

I provided the supervision of the block work after lintels

6. Who did the decking?

I provided the labour and supervision of the decking work.

I ended it there when a new supervisor was appointed to follow up the work after slab.



Please, answer these six questions and let everyone make their judgments.

When I visited the site a month after I left the project and observed some things, I informed the client in the chat message attached.

a u kidding me.. Bros iro ni oo

Going by the answers you provided, it is fair to say you failed to discharge your duties as expected. You have to humble yourself and admit that you failed in your supervision job to have had cement paper loaded in the lintel and having some pillars not adequately filled to the maximum level.

From the pictures you have provided, I won't say the job you did was all bad. I wouldn't say that. The pictures you countered with showed you did 80% of the work right if not more. How can you show good sides of the job you did and claim the bad ones were not done by you?

In this life, you don't have to claim you are right all the time. Sometimes, you have to humble yourself and admit your shortcomings so that things don't get out of hand. If you had done that all these while with Maverick, bringing this problem to the forum wouldn't have happened. Nobody is 100% perfect, try to admit culpability on this project and move on.

I would be cool actually but my knuckle head friends, Smith, Wesson, Winchester and Glock, will surely have to say something

Dem go come talk say the Americans don waka come with their yeye guns.

mufutau55:


Only Brabus and Mavverick knows the person who did that job.
But whoever did that job should lose his/her license (if there is any) and my Babalawo would have still heard about it.

Jamesqu:

Whoever did the job....it is the pillar on block work that left my mouth wide open!

mufutau55:


Whoever did the block work on the first floor did the wrong job... the pillar was there after the decking slab...
If Brabus was fired after the decking slab (as he claimed), then the person who did the upper floor is in the wrong.
But every boo-boo until the decking slab belongs to Brabus... for supplying the labor and supervision... regardless of wheiter
the Client supply the materials or not. And is it a general practice for the hollow blocks be filled with cement bags? Not with/for me.

Hajji M.

Jamesqu:


I agree with you Alhaji.

Assuming the contractor didn't see the workers putting bags, nylon, slippers in the cement work...which one is pillar on block ehn....this is high level grade one madness.

I pity the client.

Okay I see some interpersonal issues going on here and is a personal lesson for me.

Something similar almost occurred on my site but I squashed it pronto. It had to do with water supply. My fault and I took immediate steps to make sure that it will never happen again.

Oga sako28,

The windshield is always at the front. I've moved on. I'm not the one to beg. I'm not the one bringing the issue here. The one who brought it prefer to be addressed here and not through other platform which we've tried and has failed.

Trust me, 99% of decisions on Nairaland property are made based on errors because we do not know the truth.

Whoever had issues with me should come to NextHome Official Address at Suite H52, Ikota Shopping Complex, off Lekki/Epe expressway to air their complaints and not every thread where I contribute. I'll always defend the lies.

Sulking is something I thought children do and not adults.

Ok sir, Noted God Bless u
