Hi Guys,
Please send give advice on what could be the cause if this cracks on the wall in the attached.
It could be many factors.
I would have factored it to 'your plastering work ' but because it ate into the window artwork that was done differently I suppose... Then it's likely from the foundation.

With time houses sit properly on the earth due to continuous added weight on the property.

What people should understand about estimation is:

when an estimator says you need 40 tonnes of XYZ, the fact you paid a supplier to supply that and you end up using '60 tonnes' doesn't make the estimate wrong..

The fact is except you have a weighbridge or a GOD fearing person, you'll be supplied 10 tonnes as 20 tonnes...

I ONCE WENT TO THE QUARRY MYSELF (in 2007) to buy granite, I followed the tipper all the way to the site and delivered it to a site I was project manager on; MY CEO came to site and asked how many tonnes it was, I told him 30T.. He's a Q.S with years of experience - he said; NO! its impossible who supplied it, I said One supplier like that.

I didn't tell him it was me, cos that wasn't part of my job description...

cc: Enyinne
I'm not saying your supplier is doing that pls, I'm just explaining the challenges we estimators face.

ALL THIS ADD UNNECESSARILY TO BUILDING COST.

I try to make people understand this but they will never listing i hv post price of sand @ source on this forum still people do not believe.

Lekki Ajah, lots of dubious attitude from suppliers there. Sometimes ago @Ologolo supplies chased me with bottle & cutlass because i expose a client to authentic delivery, till now am still under surveillance..

30tons Sharp sand is 45k sand alone, Transportation is 30-35k but owner want 50-55k sand which is 10tons, supplier will bring with China truck which carry 30tons to him or her, he or she had received 30tons

My price is high no doubt but impact on your budget is smile to yout face & relief to your expectation.

i will want to protect a supplier here, i pretend a client ask him to bring 30tons granite to Lekki, i also was coming with my own 30tons we both arrive late but to discharge in the morning. i told my boys if ask tell them different site. in the morning we are both @ same site. i did not say anything the owner was there watching. immediately he told the man to take back his truck.

lets be guided

Thank you. Yes, I remembered when you were importing the Solar materials that time. Eventually, I will need to install solar system when the fund is available, but not been on ground permanently now, so I had to wait.
Many years back, I was following that @kiekie1 guy and learning about solar. I think I have to go back to the drawing board now and start over, as I know nothing about solar hookup. Thanks for jiggling my brain back.
