Please i need input . I paid michlin 60k for 5 pieces of iron door amounting total of 300k and advance of 250k given already. He showed me the door before starting but never told me is one sided design that i will be spending my 60k on .Now he said he has finished making the door and the door is attached below . The back of the door is unfinished as i hv not seen this type of door before where the back side looks blank and front is designed . 60k for iron door must be super door with a good finish. Attached is the picture of the door as even 30k iron door is back and front designed . Why this ? Pls i need this sorted as am not putting this low quality job on my building. He need to be called to order.

QSFemi:it's very simple, she made contact and I showed her samples. She made a choice which is attached. All through the manufacturing process, I send her daily progress report just like I do for all my clients. Finished with the painting this evening and she said she doesn't accept the design. Like who does that kind of a thing. 1 Like

This was me showing her daily progress report on the job. She didn't complain, she didn't ask single question. Na today I have finished working on the doors that she started telling me she was unaware. The colors were chosen by her too. Everything from start to finish

EgunMogaji2: Baba, you’d save yourself a lot of stress going this route. It was only yesterday we were talking about a contractor using MDF instead of HDF. These aren’t technical issues. I even pay my artisans more to work on my site. This small issue is going to seriously set either of the parties involved back financially. It can be avoided if we put right systems in place. 2 Likes |

For those who don’t know, there’s something called windows and doors schedule. Oyinbo man will not work in assumption. They’ll ask you for your technical design and when you don’t have one, they’ll ask for the as-built drawing of your project. I once shared that my fabricator will ask for technical drawings for any steel work we are doing. Here’s a door schedule sent to Home Depot on behalf of a client. They didn’t just ask him “Wetin you wan buy?” “Shey na doubke door or single?” They asked for specifications. Tbh, we can avoid a lot of all these unnecessary issues. They’re just too Nigerian.

Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by QSFemi(m): 10:21pm On Aug 10, 2021 |
We can make reasonable assumptions. 250 square metres can be any of the following though not exhaustive list. 1) 25 metres x 10 metres = 83 feet x 33 feet 2) 20 metres x 12.5 metres = 67 feet x 42 feet. 3) 16.7 metres x 15 metres = 53 feet x 50 feet. Etc ysalli: 5 Likes |

What's the size of the door she requested - 900mm or 1200mm? I asked because the attached sample that you said she requested is 1200mm while the one you made was 900mm. michlins: |
