rotecch77: / If that's the case, won't it be fair to quote 1160mm x 1160mm(since it is the actual build) instead of 1200mm x 1200mm? That is factoring in the reductions on both sides just to avoid confusion. Life is simple. / 6 Likes |

Exactly. As a professional what should be quoting is 1160mm x 1160mm with explanation to the customer of the reason for reduction. This will avoid issues because some customers could have remove such allowances before giving out the job. InvertedHammer: 4 Likes |

Few months back, I recommended an aluminum guy for a very big job (running into several millions of naira) to one of my chairman here It wasn’t funny when Oga asked me “Why am I still the one doing the quotation for the guy?” He was like “Abi you be middleman?” I smiled and told him “I always do this to help my guys do well when handling project for other clients. It’s possible for the client to assume since this guy is coming from Brabus, he must be not knowing I have systems in place to prevent regrettable error.” I told my chairman “The guy will prepare his quote but I validate it to be sure it captures every details.” Despite submitting the quote to the client based on windows schedule provided by the Project Engineer, I still told my chairman that we will like to visit the site to take as-built measurement of the windows and also ask the project engineer some important questions. Oga, this is the reason I do what I do - to prevent regrettable errors. It doesn’t matter what it cost to do what’s right. Just take the pain to do it right. _________ The only fix for this wahala is to ....

Enyinne:you're still my customer and you gave me your money. I don't want to bring chats here. It's ok to skip what you said to me over the phone and stuff. Measure that pan, it's 2ft which is the size of pan. Everything about the job I did according to our agreement. Say I cut off 3", what will it amount to? Am I going to make another door with 3". Say that the size of materials are reducing from the producers whilst price keeps increasing. I have been very detailed to you and asked you to get another anonymous welder to verify my claims. Go to your local market and measure the pans, they're 23.5". The manufacturers are creating all these issues while we the artisans answer the questions. To increase the size beyond what it currently is, I will add pipes in-between the doors and you won't like it. That's not alone, if I measure a job and it's 3ft,if I bring exactly same size to the place,it will never enter freely. You must break wall. 2-3" will never stop your household appliances. This is why I advise people to make all entry and exit points 4ft doors to avoid the issue of moving properties 4 Likes |

Here's another reason doors are getting smaller in size, the whole pan aren't even in size, so we trim off areas thereby reducing the already small size. Without doing it, the job will be uneven and welding becomes a problem 1 Like

Madam Eyinne, abeg please kindly let us find a way to resolve this issue. The contractor had no intention to defraud you. This is a simple case of business misunderstanding and his misinterpretation of your complaints as a personal attack when it’s very unnecessary. I’ve been there before so I know how it works. Abeg, my sister! Pls allow peace to reign. As a matter of fact, it was this your eye-opening complaint that made me to go and measure all the doors (local, foreign, wooden, steel, Turkey, 5ft, 3ft etc) in my house. _________ @michilins the best thing to do now is to keep your cool and try to see things from the clients perspective. Pls don’t assume that your brilliance was not being recognized. Try to see how your proactiveness, genuine help and smartness is not doing what you wanted them to; rather than add clarity, they added confusion. The pros here know you’re not wrong but how do we explain this to an already aggrieved client without sounding insensitive. It takes tact and diplomacy. I’d advice you to stop responding to every comment on this matter and start looking for a way to get this matter resolved to the clients satisfaction. God bless you! 14 Likes 1 Share |

michlins: I'm still trying to understand how a 3ft door will fit exactly in a 3 feet space. I think either the space is broken above 3 feet or the size of the door is reduced 'slightly'. I won't be expecting an exact 3ft door that will make me break walls just to accommodate a door. Also, I don't think 1.5" reduction is an obstruction to passage of furnitures. I had to read over and over again to be sure I saw the 1.5" clearly and other reasons for the complain. May God save us all. 6 Likes |

megacontrol:I don't about wooden doors but right now with the sizes of iron reducing daily with 12mm looking like 10mm, 3" pipes now 2.8", you can't make exactly 3ft doors without joining. Ask any welder around you. Rails, windows, standing tank and others are the jobs you can determine the sizes. Even H beans that used to be 40ft are now 37ft 10". You take it to site and you're scrutinized as if you are the one who cut off the rest. 18ft pipes are barely 17ft 6" now. I don't make these things, I just buy them just like everyone else 12 by 12 planks are now 9" and they're still called 12". T 3 Likes |

Tellin me about choking the door hence u reduced the door . Did u discuss that with me ? Hv u seen the place where the door will be installed before? U made a one face design on ur own accord without sharing the information with me and same u are shorting the door size too ? What exactly did i pay 60k for if not to serve ur greediness . Come and pick up the doors and refund me . I'm not having this slide too . I bought 4Ft turkish door and 3 ft turkish doors all fit perfectly to my space and when measured it's exactly 3ft and plus .

On this door issue, it's somewhat difficult to wade in without appearing siding with one party at the expense of the other. However, I just want to lend my voice towards finding an amicable solution. First of all, we cannot shy away from the fact that both parties already have a very strained relation as regards this issue. The buyer's dissatisfaction on the one sided design which has earlier been raised and settled albeit unsatisfactorily to her. Coupled with her finding of the shortage in the width of the door, which in all honesty, wasn't an attempt by the vendor to make illicit gains. It's a normal thing in door sizes. Instead of the dissatisfied clients to live with resentful thoughts towards the vendor and the doors while using them, why don't we suggest that the doors be returned to the vendor to be sold to other interested buyers? This comes at a cost which I understand fully. The cost of transportation of the doors from Lagos back to the East and waiting period for the doors to be sold. The cost of transportation can be shared by both parties equally while I implore Enyinne to exercise patience while the doors are sold so that she can recoup her money. I guess this is a more suitable approach than trading blames and insulting one another. 7 Likes |

michlins: The whole issue is neither worth wasting thread space nor response. There is NO SINGLE fraud or intention to cheat whether consciously or subconsciously. No matter the angle you look at it. Was the door made in normal size? Yes Was the vendor a 'cheat' in reducing the width? No Please carry on with your job and have a wonderful day. 5 Likes |
