MORNING ALL - I'm reading a few post from n3xt/brabus and few others - and I feel (without disrespect) a lot of CONTRACTORS don't have adequate knowledge about how contracts are run - IF you've worked with the biggest consultants in the industry you would understand what I'm about to type. AGAIN WITHOUT DISRESPECT.... 1. Even if the client allows you to buy and install whatever (door, showers, even BULB as simple as that is) - An experienced contractor/builder/consultant should know that there is something called CLIENT'S APPROVAL. This means, before I pay for THAT N500 bulb, I need a written approval within 7 days (or official email) confirming that the product is OK. This MUST be gotten before payment - and once delivered IF client's wife (or whoever) don't like it - you just bring out the approval and all related cost (return, re-purchasing, logistic etc) is 100% on them. NOTE, A VERBAL APPROVAL IS NO APPROVAL IF NOT PUT IN WRITING WITHIN 7 DAYS; so Oga was at the store with me and he said BUY IT is not an approval...... that's what a lot of you hold on to. 2. IF Mr A contracts me to build his DOG'S HOUSE and along the line, I'm unable to complete the work - BECAUSE OF UNFORSEEN events, as a contractor - you do NOT assume, since its not your fault that his work was abandoned you do not owe him... SIR, YOU OWE HIM - The deal was to build a dog house, not an in-complete dog house (even if it was client's wife that stopped the work because she suddenly hates dog and want's a cat). WHAT A SINCERE CONTRACTOR should do is.... PRESENT A FINAL ACCOUNT. Stating clearly HOW MUCH WAS GOTTEN, HOW MUCH WAS SPENT AND HOW MUCH WAS LOST AS A RESULT OF DE-MOBILIZING FROM SITE - then agree with the client on who owes who.... NOTE: Even if the client was owing you at the time the decision was made; you DON'T assume because I lost, no need - YOU DO WHAT PROFESSIONALS DO - A final account, it is then you can hold you heads high and say - I DO NOT OWE YOU. I'LL STOP HERE FOR NOW - MAYBE I'LL WRITE A FEW ARTICLES ON (real life) CASE STUDIES FROM VARIOUS SITE.... WE SHOULD BE HERE TO LEARN AND TEACH EACH OTHER BUT A LOT OF CONTRACTORS HERE ARE JUST HERE FOR THE CLIENT AND PAY.... FINALLY; I'M A CONTRACTOR TOO.... but relationship over money I preach. GOODLUCK, I SaydFact 10 Likes 1 Share |

saydfact: I agree with you. Accountability must come from the contractors. Documentation is very very important. Assumption is dangerous You're not in your client's head, so don't assume for them, you can advise/educate them but let them decide. In this world of social media, documentation and approval soughting is now easy. A simple voice note or chat from them is enough to tender as evidence of approval. Even sms can act as one too as long as it can be established that it came from the client. 1 Like |

dongc: I don't know if you read my two previous comments prior to the comment you reply. We all have different temperament and different ways of doing things. However, if I am about to commit my hard earn money (which of course may be chicken change to some people) into someone hand and someone pop up from no where and accused the person of committing fraud against him/her and I waited 24hrs for the person to come and denied or offer an explanation and the person show up and failed to deny or offer coherent explanation and in the same orbit another trusted person was been accused of failure to deliver and that person show up and failed to allayed people's concern, Please forgive me if I blew my gasket. In another news; given the subsequent 24hrs explanation from Next and many people vouching for the integrity of Skimanski, I have decided not to forgo this forum. Why I am no longer proceeding with next on the project at this time, I have engaged Adedward for my window fabrication Thanks 7 Likes |

saydfact: You’re very right though but may I ask that at what point do you think it’s right for the contractor to assume the contract has been officially terminated? And on what ground? - inability or failure to fulfill the contract - unforeseeable circumstance beyond the control and without the fault or negligence of the contractor. - the client lost interest. Thanks for your observations and comments. I do appreciate it all. We are learning everyday. 1 Like |

Just for learning purpose. Here’s an excerpt from a NextHome contract document. This has nothing to do with the matter at hand but just for those who wish to learn. @saydfact A sincere contractor don’t wait till there’s problem before doing the right things. They do it right from the signing of the contract. That’s what we do!
