ChybuzzDD: Please be sure to tell them about the cleaning part ahead of time. That is before they even start. Some people can turn stories around very fast. Trust me, if you don’t tell them before hand, what they will say is “na so we dey do am, nobody don ever complain” Then, you become the bad person trying to take advantage of someone that worked for you. 4 Likes |

Paving stones are the most suitable pavement in water logged areas. The space between the stones allows water to seep through it and ensure that water retention is reduced to minimum.. They are small, light weight, easy to install , maintain and repair. They are reusable too.They come in various shapes, sizes and colours. Stamped concrete is another type of rigid pavement but unlike the paving stones does not allow much water to seep through even though they can be constructed in strips/panels.. It's stronger than the paving stones because it is reinforced but not easy to maintain. It can be designed to various patterns and colors too. Thenext: 5 Likes |

somehow: Some of us are actually on the field. I work in -23 degrees constructing base buildings just like any other male supers and trust me we still face a lot of segregation and discrimination just because of our gender. I have female electricians, female truck drivers and female labourers onsite. Not all ladies are into interior decor though there is nothing wrong with the profession 1 Like 1 Share |

rotecch77: Good Evening Sir. Cleaning is definitely not part of the scope of work for Pop workers. That's meant for the cleaners. However, you can respectfully request them to clean up for you, before or after you've given the job. Diverting poor Labour's balance after they've completed your job, just because they didn't clean up the site for you, is really not a kind thing to do sir.✓ This is just a call to attention✓. God bless you Sir. 9 Likes |

hamtabfawaz: Nope, you are not right with this. You need not be told to know you have to do the right thing. if you met the site you are to work littered or filled with dirts on your arrival, will you be comfortable to work in such environment? How do you make a difference n set standard n class amidst common artisans, n does it even promote or add value to your work? Those are edges artisans have over each other 9 Likes |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by hamtabfawaz(m): 2:04am On Mar 01, 2022 |
Horlardorjah: Ans To your ??: NO Morning sir. You missed the Point. Personally i don't like dirts. From my first day on a project, I make available a trash bag for my workers to use in order not litter the environment. Talking About POP stains, which are unavoidable but can definitely be minimised with some measures, I'd reiterate again "it's not the job of pop workers to clean up the stains for you, but you can respectfully request them to help". Dirts or stains: it's advisable to spell out the terms & objectives of a contract/job/work before you give it, so as to avoid arguments. The common Nigerian behaviour: you will see someone eating snacks in his car & he will wind down just to throw the nylon or trash whatever on the road!!! So many examples of such disgusting habits. But I believe you can bring people up to your standard & make them learn certain things or give terms on how they can work with you perfectly. Ps: My post is not an attack on anyone. it's just a call to attention. We all make mistakes. 5 Likes |

Here in US, What I see these artisans and handy men do is that they normally come with ordinary old blankets, especially the painters and woodworkers . Before they start, they cover the whole floor with those blankets. I think the reason they don’t use paper or nylon on the floor is because those are not tough and could tear. Remember also that the floors here are usually hardwood. They don’t want to scratch it either. That one na big gbese for their head. The furnitures are moved, and covered with polyethylene (nylon) if they are close by. Once they are done with the work, they gently roll up the blankets and take with them. And the blankets are reusable. You won’t even know that a major work was done in that space. They last guy I called for HVAC even had to wear shoe cover over his shoes. He didn’t even want his workshoes to touch the floor. Artisan in Nigeria could do the same. Old okrika blankets at Yaba are almost free. Somebody is going to say, yeah bed bugs! Yes I know but you can disinfect them first. Get a few and these blankets could be used a couple of times before they are due for replacement 4 Likes |

sonnie10:Artisan's that don't even care about themselves safety, they prefer to spend most of their income to buy pepper soup, Suya, and girls, instead of buying better tools that will help them for next job. Na them go buy blanket for your job, my brother even when you buy them safety boot for concrete work. You still have to forced it on some of them to wear them. Abeg 2 Likes |
