Pls madam no vex too much. If I am the one I will vex well well o, esp if it's for my personal abode. Since it's for rental purpose pls manage, although I don't know how small the door actually is. But pls madam, pardon. This place is really a classroom we are learning everyday, either the soft way or the hard way.
I'm not a professional on doors, the professionals should guide you if the door size is usable as claimed by michlins.

michlins:
at first I got angry and that's how I lashed out at her but then she's still my customer who gave me her hard earned money. That's what some family members won't do for you.

And all these are opening me up to improved ways people do things. I might say am still running business the way I learnt from my boss.

Will this type of thing happen to me again where I assume the customer knows what he or she wants, absolutely not

I have a secret to share with you on how to handle these type of issue moving forward.

This simple tip will save you a lot of headache if you apply it in your business.

One thing you should have noticed by now is that the client is a complete novice on your profession. She’s just using ideas

Mama @eyinne, don’t come for me o.

As a matter of fact, she had no idea about the door sizes until she was told.

Know your client. Know who has the final authority. Deal directly with the decision makers.

It’s easier for @spyder880 to understand and deal with you than @eyinne because he’s in the field and he has all the need-to-know information which @eyinne can never dream of.

Often times, we tend to believe the man who make the payment is the decision maker. That’s partly true. There’s always that silent person whose opinion can never be discarded.
In some cases, it’s the madam of he house.

Did you realize it was the site engineer who actually complained about the door before madam brought it here? Even though she didn’t say it, I know he’s the decision maker here. His position determines whether the doors will be used or not?
Since he’s not involved in the award of the job, he’d only stay silent until issues crop up.

I’m not saying the engineer on this particular project is the one behind this issue o.

Moving forward, always tell your clients to allow you speak directly with the engineer on site. If it’s a project without an engineer, request for pictures that depict exactly what the client wanted. As specific questions to clarify likely issues.

Lastly, take the pain to visit the site to take as-built measurement of any job given to you.

Well done bro! You’re doing well!

This is ok, but we will still need to look at other factors, ACCESSIBILITY, CIRCULATION & CONGESTION WITHIN THOSE MARKED POINT(BLUE), ALSO WITH THIS LAYOUT THE BASIN HAS BEEN CONFINED, ONLY IN WC(TOILET ) MIGHT BE THE ONE THAT WILL FIND IT USEFUL

Advice is just all over the place.

#. You advised him to speak first with the site engineer. Not a good idea. He did this with megacontrol project I think. We all know what happened. Fraud!

#. Some have advised that he fabricates exactly the size of the opening. He did this with a client here. He almost got into trouble. The window didn't fit without clearance. The client though reasonable, said as a professional he should have known better to accommodate clearance for installation.

#. Now he has delivered with clearance for installation. Trouble.

#. You advised him to first travel from the East to Lagos just to take measurements. This is just not practicable in this modern era. You said you have imported kitchen from Wickes in the UK. Did they travel first to Nigeria just to take measurements before delivering?

How this things are done is to deliver EXACTLY to the letter the measurements given by the client. 3ft must be 3ft if this is the measurement given. If it doesn't fit, it's the client's responsibility. He was contracted to deliver 3ft. He wasn't contracted to install or worry how it would be installed.

He should talk to the client nicely (peace rapping) with a view to giving a mutually negotiated rebate for any inconveniences caused.

On the flip side, if contracted to install as well, deliver EXACTLY the measurements given and break walls or find creative ways to install. If walls are to be knocked down, consult the client first BEFORE commencing.

Now if from consultation with the client it was agreed that clearance for installation should be accommodated, then the quote should be for the reduced size with demonstrable difference in the price.

Greetings all...

I am about to transact some business with @Chizagi for some bath doors *Double panel American doors* purported to have a high water resistant ability.

I am starting with bath doors and if all goes well as he promised and he delivers just before this weekend, then more business and more clients may come his way.

He is transporting them from Lagos to Orlu at an agreed price.

I hope he gets a thumbs up from me and I shall return to tell you of the transaction later.

Una well done ooo

Like someone said, it's not recommended to tamper with the chemistry. The soakaway is working as it should.

Apart from changing the occupants' food diet (lol), what I would do if this was mine is to find a way to source and then place activated carbon filters around the vent. Something like this (dunno if you can find in Nigeria) ....

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Activated-Carbon-Odour-Filter-Joseph/dp/B07XLP7RKG/

This will involve a mini-project to design a fitment or box around the vent that keeps the filter dry during rainy conditions.

Also note that they are to be replaced periodically, once saturated (you will notice when smell reappears). Interval depends on the, ahem, occupants' diet.

Good luck.

Update.

The proposed transaction with @chizagi couldn't go ahead as planned. He could not assure the delivery time for the doors as requested as the delivery van said they could have delays.
I would not be around again to receive doors if the lead time was too variable.
So the deal has been suspended for now.
I might just have to source for the doors close by eg Onitsha

@spyder880 please any contact for me at Ogidi market?

emmyN:
Michlins makes burglaries without tolerance for installation; client came on here to call him fraud. The gurus advised him to take cognizance next time. Granted.

Michlins makes doors with allowance for another client. Client calls him a cheat and a thief. Our magnanimous gurus wade in and advise he makes as specified going forward.

Michlins is tired

KolaShangOne:


In terms of ligositics, anything could go wrong. If you're on a thin time, it's better you source locally.

A 2-days journey could take a week or more.

obynocute:
Good evening senior Engineers, please check attached picture, I don't understand this in 2 in burglary step down from window level, my builder sent to me. I hope it won't affect the window.. Please I need y'all professional advice.

I rode to Osogbo on Sunday for lunch and the amount of broken down commercial vehicles was quite high. I was thinking about all the goods being delayed.

KolaShangOne:


From Iwo road to Osogbo should be about 30mins on bike, right?

We are even in the raining season. Vehicle breakdowns are inevitable. New pot-holes are being birthed with each rainfall.

I remember when we were waiting for stone coated tiles from Tilcor, from Lagos to Port harcourt.

A journey of 3 days took almost 2 weeks. Customs seized the goods. They had to send bill of laden from company to the driver at Benin before they let him go. Client was very understanding and confirmed I wasn't lying.

EgunMogaji2:


Here is the floor plan. The confusion is fitting both a tub and shower in the space.

Horlardorjah:


This will work well, I will just take off the solid wall used for the toilet enclosure, glaze it or better leave it open so far it's for a private room

megacontrol:
It's surprising that the good Samaritan that offered to take the doors in the first instance hasn't stepped forward to take up this second opportunity that presented itself.

That would put the issue to rest, irrespective of weather lessons were learnt or not.

EgunMogaji2:


That's the setup I'm considering but I don't think I have the space for the total length. If only bath tubs/jacuzzi came in less than six foot lengths.

Thanks.

Adedward:
gud morning sir, it's fine and strong, if the handle is opening the windows well well without disturbing from the iron, it's ok and fine, I can see that they have already provided the space for the nets, by using in to in burglaries, it's fine and ok sir,
