kopell: Sorry for the Long post I did ask that question because I do wonder the kind of advice home owners do get from builders... 1.are perspective home owners getting the right advice 2.are overzealous builders just demanding for certain materials because it is what building demands or what they demand etc 3.what does building code say(non existent in some cases) i don't work anymore with roofing today but I still have contact with my old mentors who are private roofing contractors and one still work at one of the companies respectively... First stint as IT student...and after uni... worked 6years before moving for greener pastures ... I have worked with two of best aluminium companies in Nigeria and have climbed over 250 roofs even industrial buildings with steel trusses...while most of our roofings are southern part of the country...I dont remember any 0,55 quotations with my name(company quotations are co-signed) on it which are not 1.steel trusses 2.industrial building's wall claddings 3.flatroof with slightly above 10-15% pitch 4.where customer insist or makes that request . Money is not first instance of what customers gets... 1. Heights 2.roofing styles 2.environmental conditions;rain and winds etc... 3 Likes |

dongc: A client once asked for 0.7mm for his roof. I gave him a sample of a complete 0.55mm, he said “Yes this is better! Let’s do it. “ He does not know the difference. A simple research of what’s obtainable in other countries can help though. Meanwhile, it was SON that mandated 0.55mm (NIS 448:2004) as minimum standard while trying to control influx of substandard aluminum roofing sheets into the country. In 2019, SON revalidates the 1989 NIS code (NIS 180) that specifies 0.15mm as minimum standard. Read up more on NIS codes #GenuineThickness |

KolaShangOne: I had a similar experience early this year. I bought some cement and told our CP I wanted it in a location near me. Unfortunately I didn’t pickup when I’m supposed to pick it because we had a change of plan on the project I intended to use it. 3 months later, the price had gone up and I asked for the cements. They didn’t argue with me. They just told me they've ran out of stock and that I should wait or go to pick up at their warehouse several kilometer away from me. Some issues aren’t really worth the stress in my view. 2 Likes |

sonnie10: Except you’re going to take laws into your hand, I don’t think anything can/will happen if the customer is offering a refund. Who’d pay the cost of warehousing the goods for the number of months it stayed in his/her store? Who pays the cost of securing the goods? Is the storekeeper a bank that pay interests? ________ Just as @spyder880 advised earlier, only do this with merchants that you’ve had good business relationship with and be willing to make some concessions too. 2 Likes |

I have been reading some of our submissions about the possibility of paying for materials with the intention of picking it up later, and the fear that the sellers may refuse to release your complete quantities, or insist on refunding your money and I am getting increasingly shocked here. When has Nigeria become that bad? I give someone a large deposit running into several millions and he is making some transactions with my money, with the understanding that they will give me my supplies at our agreed price, and I walk in 3 to 6 months later and the dealer refuses to supply me because prices has changed, why did I pay you in the first place? I paid you to hedge on inflation. In my experience, the dealers are happy that I pay early, they immediately deploy the funds and order heavier quantities and stock them. Most of my dealers are heavy stockists, offloading trailers and in a day. I have a dealer who offload up to 5 long trucks of cement in a day, pay him and he pays BUA, Dangote or Lafarge immediately and your supply is assured. He will be turning the money over till you come for your goods, in my case I just call, give me 50 bags, he will check and say, now remaining 150 bags? I will say, yes. And my goods will be loaded. I pay only transportation and loading charges. Business is all about integrity, and I cannot be doing business with those I cannot trust, these guys I pay for goods hasn't disappointed me even once in the last 23 years, their children grew up to continue transacting with me, and maybe my children will grow up and continue with the business arrangement, I dont think they will start now to disappoint. These guys know me too, and we have mutual respect for each other. I will give examples. The time Y16 iron rods jumped from N5,900 to N6,400, I had over 200 rods paid for. The time POP cement jumped from 3,600 to 7,500, I had 140 bags paid for, and I later collected it, even as it took time due to non availability. There are times I pay for 1,000 bags of cement at the same time, and we monitor how I take them, no matter how long ago it is. I just maintain a file to document all such transactions. 4 Likes

spyder880:I just read these stuff and laugh cause I don't even think it's possible to happen. Earlier this year, I paid for materials and told the dealer that the client isn't ready to start the job yet. So when I was ready, the dealer didn't have the materials again as he sold out his stock but he directed me to the wholesaler store where he buys goods and I was supplied everything I needed. The price at which he bought it from the wholesaler was higher than what I paid for it. He took the loss with happiness because he knows better. Our businesses have been running smoothly ever since and he must have made that money from me and people I have directed to him many times over. Thing is that people are usually shortsighted when it comes to business and that's why many won't be rich ever in this life. They forget that a good business will bring several others 5 Likes |

n3xt: Exactly what I want type before I see your post People think it’s very easy to collect such goods when you don’t have concrete agreement that so so date you are coming to pick up failure to do so….. you will take the seller decision by increment or refund without any pec. Which pec you wan claim sef, Naa you go pay for keeping the goods. Security nko.

Put yourself in the dealers shoes. The cement business is not even as easy as you think. Today it goes up tomorrow it’s coming down. They’re only struggling with the business too . Some days the loss will be too much the intended profitin future will only balance up and no profit made. My supplier was lamenting to me then I told him one thing. Look you run a business the people paying ahead are also trying to dump the inflation gap on you to bear the loss. You also need to be smart to dump the loss back at them . Tell your customers you can only hold for 1month , more than that sorry you have to pay more. Why do you intend to pay 3-6 month down without picking it up if not that you’re trying to dump the inflation gap on the not so astute businessman? 4 Likes |
