michlins: Ok. My assumption is most professionals/tradespeople juggle multiple jobs at once, meaning if they are taking on a new project it will usually have to fit in and around existing work or a future start date will be set. So I always give them ample time to deliver a good job. If they are able to jumpstart immediately or deliver it in a jiffy or move from Kano to Bayelsa within a week, that signifies absence of real work to keep them engaged and this could be down to their lack of skills or something more concerning. That’s the way I think though. _______ I have a guy who make wooden doors. You have to give him notice months ahead if you really want to use his doors. His company name is Geometro Creatives. A nairalander called him for more than 2 weeks just to setup meeting with him. When he told me, I smiled and said “We always book him months ahead. He’s never in rush to take up new jobs because he’s always busy.” 1 Like

BrabusNG:you can't be as busy as factories in China and they still hit targets. Just because I give my job everything doesn't mean that I am less busy. As I'm not married, I wake up in the morning and the next thing on my mind is how to deliver the next job. Being able to deliver on time will endear me to clients and also ensure that I utilize my profits. Let's say I pick up a job today with a profit of 1,000, if you delay on the job, you will end up making less money cause as the day breaks, so does the value of your profit depreciates. Another thing is that once someone realizes that you are too busy for them, you are bound to loose customers and believe me, even your loyal customers will one day stop coming no matter how good you are at your work. That is what kills a good brand. It takes more than skill to grow and maintain a brand. Instead of you to sleep and die in a job,hire extra hands,if you think they can't hit your desired quality, train your own capable hands. As good and big as Julius Berger is, they still use flood lights to work on projects to ensure timely delivery. If they can work while others are sleeping just to deliver, I don't know who I am that I can't ensure that I deliver within the shortest time possible and still do a quality job 17 Likes 1 Share |

abdulwastecx: amanikondo: You are completely mistaken Sir! If there is any Engineer l trust most on Nairaland, number one, numero-uno, one l have recommended openly without reservation to others, one l can say "take this #20M Cash, a Drawing, point to my land and say "call me if you need more money", it is abdulwastexc and l am not saying this to massagge his ego. Apart from being extremely HONEST and TRUTH FUL, he is sound, knows his stuff, analytical, scientific, factual, empirical and he has been around for a long time! If still in doubt, ask the gurus and elders in the house, from the Gurus of Building, Contracting, to Elder Clientelle. If Abdulwastexc says a foundation is sound, l dont know of any of the old hands on this thread, hat will say otherwise. That is how much confidence we all repose in his ability, as an Engineer and Builder. Elders, do you agree or disagree? ![]() 17 Likes 1 Share |

mufutau55: There’s only one way I make use of Nairaland these day. When someone makes a comment, I click on their name and check their last 10 posts to check: Are they valuable posts? Or abusive/inciting posts? How does this add value to me? How can I be responding to a man who just left Olosho thread or the man who just abused a race or the president? O wrong nau!

lastpage: I am not saying he is not good and I am not attacking his personality. He replied to a comment that did not concern him about Brabus project. He was vouching for someone/project that he did not know from project pictures. 3strike just replaced the roof of a house Brabus built for him which is like 4-5 years old. The same guy built house that sank on this Nairaland. Pls check the message thread before you write essay. I never attacked him. He was poke-nosing into what he knows nothing about. If this is an exam, you have totally failed. Aventures still gets Jobs from me and all my friends till today and I have built good relationships with people on this forum. 9 Likes |
