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.

n3xt:
The 30m requirement is not a Nigerian thing. Check IS 3414 code, it specifically mentioned 30m, although newer research has nullified it.

Regardless, expansion and contraction causes stress and the longer the building so the stress.

________

How do I know?

I once did a 53m long multipurpose building and we had to introduce expansion joint to relieve the anticipated stress on the building.

you have continually called me a thief,cheat and other degenerative words without cause and yet you don't feel it's wrong. Wow

QSFemi:
30sqm = 17 cartons
9sqm = 5 cartons
8sqm = 5 cartons
38sqm = 27 cartons
16sqm = 12 cartons
22sqm = 16 cartons

These quantities are based on the assumption that you're using 40 x 40 having 12pcs in a carton and 25 x 40 having 15pcs in a carton. Included also is allowance for waste and breakages.

Have i called u names before now ? In all our prior discussion have i called u names ? No . But yesterday when u started exhibiting those trait then i decided to call u names cos thats what fit into this attitude and all ur intent is to cheat . U think by talking down on me will make any difference. I will use those degrading words as u are about the money without considering client satisfaction. The first thing u told me is send my balance or else i wont ship the doors without asking or trying to find solution. And i quickly sent u 50k balance owe to u , to let u know ur balance is no issue but the door u made is not Good .

michlins:
you loose counts of when you call someone degenerative names. I remember you were scolded here about such a week or two ago

Enyinne:
Oga , I'm not interested. What am interested now is my door . Don't deviate from the discussion. You are a cheat and i wont mince words saying it . Rectify this door issue and hv peace as we are just getting started so be ready for more .

michlins:
you paid for five (5) which have been delivered to you. I made peace with that. I hope you find peace too.

Goodbye

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!

michlins:
Sir here's what I can assure you,if I tell you that this thing is white,go anywhere else, it's white. I didn't deceive her or anyone else

There are those who see you geninuely and there are others who don't. Because there are challenges in built environments, the most important obligation of a contractor is to satisfy the needs of the client. There are times it comes to near satisfaction but in this nearness it should be something that will not disrupt the client's sleep.

Just take all that's happening to be a learning process and try to know how you deal with every client ensuring you give them what will appeal to them delighting in every detail.

I am not holding brief for you and neither for the client. Reason is that judging by the pix posted by the client your fabrication with is in order except the client wants the frames hidden in block/mortar.

Another reason is that when a door is said to be of custom made and design it meets the exact size with little or no need for adjustments.

The above is one of the reasons I do a door opening of 1000mm instead of 900mm.

This is the video of the door supplied by Michlin contracted to custom make a 3ft door as agreed and invoice issued to that effect and receiving a 32ft door less than what i need .

n3xt:


Wow!

After watching the video, I think it’s safe to conclude that the Contractor didn’t do right.

The size of the door with frame is 2ft 9inches (33 inches) and not 3ft (36 inches) which was exactly what the client ordered.

For me there’s no justification for this error and I agree that the vendor should make full refund for this.

Sincere apologies @eyinne for the inconveniences this might have caused you.

there was never a time I claimed the doors were completely 36".


I already explained what happened and I can't go on typing it all over again.

Even in the noise and distractions, here's what I promise my clients. If I tell you that this thing is white, that's what it is. Another thing is to do my best to satisfy the client.

What I can't do however is sell my self respect and dignity to appease someone. My goal is to deliver quality service while making honest living

michlins:
please sir, that's how doors are made. Even the prefabricated doors are smaller.

Here's how it goes. A sheet of pan is 8ft and when divided by four gives you 2ft plus 3" of the pipes. That's 30" then you add frames which is usually 1.5" on both sides. That's a total of 33"

This is the way it works. If you want to expand the size, you will have to add pipes in-between to increase it.

These things are like this anywhere and everywhere

n3xt:


To be honest, I didn’t understand it that way. I thought she wanted more than 3ft.

The space left for the door is exactly 3ft. I think the door should be fit into that space and not be reduced for whatsoever reason.

That size of door is toilet size and not fit to serve as a main entrance door.

As a matter of fact, we are only managing 3ft door for entrances. 4ft (single opening) door or larger door is just about the acceptable size.

She won’t be able to bring sofas or a double door fridge through that door.

________

Here’s a door I have on a personal project. The door itself minus the frame is 32 inches.

bixton:



Even at that it's a no no for a main entrance door to be of that size. And of what good use is going for custom size.....

Some years ago I did a renovation for my family house. When I removed the wooden toilet/bathroom doors and took measurement of door opening it came out full 1000mm.
I had previously asked the price for a toilet door without giving out any dimension/measurement. When I later sent the exact measurement to the GMP guy there was an increase in price and I had to pay. I only to do exactly what I gave him or give an allowance of 1" clearance on both sides of the door.
