gordonbarrett: This is why it's good to communicate with whoever you are dealing with. Assumption is very dangerous. And asking questions is extremely good. This would not have come up if there was an agreement on reduction or no reduction. Modified. |

michlins: Meaning the frames makes a 3 feet door 36'? Did you explain to her or was she aware? You're the expert here, you don't assume your client should know some of these technical details. 4 Likes |

Enyinne:To be honest, your designer goofed by giving you a main entrance of 3ft. Usually building components like doors and windows require tolerance for installation, reason for the 3 inches reduction. Please next time ensure your vendor visits the site to take measurement, insist on developing a statement of work which both parties can agree on. 8 Likes 1 Share |

It is wrong to say it is market standard. If in doubt ask the customer, you do not assume for the person. What you two discussed is hidden from me and any potential customer. What we see is what we read here. michlins: 7 Likes |

michlins: Sorry, i feel your pain, sir, but you made a very mistake, you should have notified her all your concerns before deducting anything from the dimension, or asked questions on any of the ambiguities, & advised her if necessary on any of the decisions, because she believed you know it better, kindly find a way to resolve this issue amicably, find a way to protect your name even if we cost you much, that your name is very important 6 Likes |

somehow: This conversation ensued few hours ago between myself and my contact for frameless Glass partitions providing an option quote to coldcandy The first question asked when he saw my measurement was “Have you removed clearance?” While giving feedback to coldcandy, the first thing I asked him was if clearance was removed and I told him what I asked the contractor to do to avoid ambiguity. I’m not mad. I just believe some issues can be avoided. It doesn’t matter whether coldcandy will give his job to my contact or use his estimate as a guide. What matters is I didn’t create a bigger problem for him while trying to help. 1 Like

I know you are trying to defend michlins but ask him if he discussed his assumptions with the customer. When I order 3ft, it should be 3ft. Most people here are learned enough to know what they require. So when you assume, clear with the person first. somehow: 6 Likes |

Like the 3inches deduction actually caused the inability of furniture and other facilities to enter that space. Interesting. 9 Likes |

Assumption can either make or mar you. Get it right and you'll be praise to high heavens; get it wrong and you'll be labeled names. That's how it is done everywhere is not tenable. People want to go outside the box. Hauling insults when mistake is made is not a way forward. I asked someone to do electrical piping for me. Even after I explained everything that I don't intend to use external changeover switch (that I have an DIN type I want to use in the DB and so every pipe should terminate in the DB), the contractor still went ahead and create the usual external changeover type. When I enquire he said he couldn't fathom how possible I could realise my dream, that he doesn't want to spoil his work. Of course, I was furious as the walls had already been plastered. His apology doused the tension. Breaking would have cost me more money so I had to make some adjustment and adapt. It's always very painful when what you get is not what you ordered for. @michilin, you may feel that you took the right decision and that you're right. Service delivery goes beyond contract signing (agreement), to delivery and customers satisfaction. Without the bolded, you loose referrals. If you and your client are willing, you can resolve this amicably. Put a call across; show empathy. 3 Likes |

On Neutral ground… Some pages back I did full tutorial on how STANDARD DOOR MEASUREMENT should be. I will search for it here when I have time so that people can learn how it should be done. -Door leaf size -Wall opening size - frame size (thickness) All these comes with different measurement At the end of the day your DOOR of 3ft size with frame will still be 3ft. BSS CODE If time permit I will write it out fully again 7 Likes |

Like u ought to add an inch or two to your windows or doors openings instead of reduction except confirmed on site otherwise. Even for my Kobo Kobo interior works that I don't post here due to the drama with nairaland clients as I don't post even my architectural n construction here. Michlin, u r good no doubt. But u need to be more detailed and u need more wisdom in client management n relationship. Please I will say again, easy does it. The misfortune of one mostly leads to upgrade of another competitive n serious minded one as majority believes. I cum in peace 1 Like

ceelog: Please keep us informed with the final outcome. Doing it in batches is the best way to go. I use batch delivery method as well (deliver first batch, if no issues, then deliver the next). This is essential where vendors and suppliers don't have insurance and legally spelt out return policy. Good luck with your project. 3 Likes |
