brabus: The CONTRACTOR and the MD of Lekki Gardens are already in court. If anything, they will have case to answer with respect to gross negligence and professional misconduct. |

brabus: You are comparing apples with oranges. A client (Lekki Gardens) contracted you (A Contractor) to build 2 units of detached duplex for him (Lekki Gardens). The client (Lekki Gardens) now have Consultants to SUPERVISE the work that you are doing to ensure that the CONTRACTOR builds according to specification. If the client (Lekki Gardens) is selling the house to a subscriber, you can see that the subscriber is not involved. It is purely Client vs Contractor relationship. That also governs the roles, responsibilities and liabilities The underlying principle has nothing to do with type, location or complexity of job. It is all about contractual relationships. 4 Likes |

gabbytabby: Good way to go. However once the CONTRACTOR agree to do the job at an agreed price to the required specification, he cannot claim that he did a poor job because the money was small. He was not forced to agree to do the job. 1 Like |

abdulwastecx: Angry kee? Where did you see anger in my comment? Angry over what? In fact, my comment was made in similar humour as Brabus Whether you use it or not, is non of my business (only you know why you chose to pursue it!) ....and l knew he was joking anyway! Is it true that "Science/Engineering-biased" people generally have a poor sense of humour...probably due to poor communication skills? And you dont seen to understand grammatical "figure of speech" at all! When l say "The Seal and Stamp" makes the drawing, .........it is a "figure of speech" used to emphasise the importance which authorities attach to it,... in any building drawing For example, your drawing will never be approved, if your drawing does not have the requite "Stamp and Seal" from the Engineers and Architect. So, without "Stamp and Seal", what you have is just a 'glorified drawing' on Paper, mathematical principle and engineering judgement not withstanding! ![]() ![]() ![]() 3 Likes |

wanaj0: Iam sure Brabus drives on the Lekki-Ajah road built by LCC every almost everyday and tolls. Can he tell us if he did a due diligence on it as a user of the road and if he was visiting the road during the construction period. In addition, has he also gone through all the design document of the road for him to know if they were followed. 8 Likes |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by brabus(m): 6:19pm On Mar 11, 2016 |
NL1960: Yes, I did and the few who were always present at the LCC stakeholders meetings when the road design was been discussed knew people were carried along. Hope you're aware sir that residents kicked against the fence proposal, period of concession and the toll gates. It was in the meetings that the alternative routes were discussed. Stakeholders insist on no toll until alternative routes are built which led to the constitution of City of David road. If I can check my files, I can still come up with some documents. Anyone who thinks I'm cooking up a story should say so. LCC didn't work in isolation. https://www.nairaland.com/255605/stakeholders-govt-differ-toll-collection 1 Like |

@ NL1960 At the Stakeholders Meeting, we discussed how much will be paid at the tolls. And that prompted the installation of vehicle density sensors at Law School (can't remember the year again) to count the numbers of cars that go in and out of VI. Bros, make I go on. 1 Like |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by brabus(m): 6:41pm On Mar 11, 2016 |
@ NL1960, There's no point saying too much here. I'll suggest you visit LCC office and ask question about the kick off of the project and how they met stiff resistance from the residents at the inception. As for the stakeholders meeting, I was in the IT then (working on The Palms, Lekki) and we are always connected with BIG projects. So, LCC was something on mind then. Looking at what we can do together so we were at the meeting to see what's on the blueprint and things that we can do for the concessionaire. I can tell over and over again. LCC never worked in isolation and they were very transparent. Lot of awareness were created especially on meeting days. Lots of flyers and signs were shared during the construction. And I can make bold statement that we saw the blueprint frm the inception For those who didn't know, they'll assume they shove Lekki Toll road down our throat. No! We were carried along. 1 Like |

No no not just so cos if lekki knowingly buys at a ridiculous price then the concept of stolen property will be applied if that item was discovered to be stolen or damaged. Lekki gardens can sue the contractor but remember that they also employed consulants to supervise and certifiy that building is as specified and suitable for purpose. Concept of joint and severally liable comes to play. wanaj0: 1 Like |
