Remote working is not the issue here. In this case, an architect might need to visit the site more than once to clarify or check things and the cost of the visit is a big bugbear when it's out of town. I often offer to bear this but there is a natural limit after which you begin to wonder whether a local option would have been a smarter choice.

There was a dispute here recently on concrete paving work. I believe had the contractor had been able to readily drive down perhaps on his way home from work, it might not have escalated as much as it did.

So, I've worked with many artisans here, imported from Lagos to work on my project. Other than Gbadexy - and that's simply because he supplies paints - on time, on spec, and makes himself readily available for remote consultation - I have found myself wishing these were more local because my project would perhaps then get more attention.

If I was scoring them, and they got a perfect 10 in the actual job execution, I would deduct at least half a point for follow-up unresponsiveness, sadly magnified by the distance issue.

IMO, of course. Good day.
I understand what your concerns are, to the clients pay them right. In my case most of my projects is handle by the architect that draw them, including contact of supervision except one. The architect who draw the plain is in Imo state never meet him till date. The engineer that build the house is here very hobble gentleman never meet him as well, had no any issue with the him till the end of the project, even though he travels to state every time till the end of the project. A lot is happening behind the seen here without any noise. I don’t know why many of them stop posting their jobs here, some of us that knows they are handling multiple projects in different locations knew, many thought they are out of business.

I don't know for roofing sheets but for ceramic tiles, you're very wrong .
Is okay, not everyone have to believe it. I can tell you there are many other products that are manufactured locally apart from those two products. Will you believe POP powder are manufactured in Kaduna and Gombe state.

Agreed, and more grease to their elbows - those able to manage multiple projects across the country, including delivering on any warranty issues after.

Those unable to, please don't take the job.

We are all on the same page - we want everybody here to be successful.

I agree with you, most of the time is much better sourcing labour locally. Distant labour can cause you unnecessary delays and extra money trying to bring them to and from and also coming back for jobs not perfectly executed.

The last time i had a project in Lagos i made sure i got everyone around Lagos and now that i have an ongoing project in the East, am only recruiting Artisans from that reagion. I no get power to chase person wey dey 400 miles away.
