Ibk2020: My rule is once i contact any architect and he or she asks me to pay a certain fee before showing me a floor plan, I will quietly tell you 'bye bye' and move on with the next. Many of them here are guilty of such. They will tell you that if you don't like the plan they will adjust it. All that are empty stories. Only in Nigeria such thing happens. All architectural drawings i've received from foreign architects it is a different experience. 6 Likes |

n3xt: Thank you nxt Before God and Man, it would be very irresponsible for someone to change their attitude for NO REASON. It's almost insane that someone would talk to one with respect and the other respond in discord and bad manners. What we find here on Nairaland is more to what we show here. Ibk2020, I can only wish you well in your endeavors, as for your curses and insults, I live it up to you coz I don't want to derail this thread. Never will I do that. Before people jump into any conclusions of any sort on any case or issue, think twice and ask detailed questions. Everyone here wants to be defensive at all times including clients and vendors or contractors. We all have an image to protect. It pays no one to be rude as people would say, it pays no one do do evil or bad to anyone who has done them good. Nature is the final judge of all. Fortunately, this same place I have seen very very decent, good, heartily people I can vouch for. Am sure they all see these and keep silent too because knowing a person and working with one is different from hearsay. On that note, it is important we should always try as much as possible to do that which is right. We all as Nigerians have to understand that everyone you meet is someone in one way or another and should be treated and talked to with respect, irrespective of where you are. 5 Likes |

Dennis3D: Bro, you need to be ‘calming down’ tho ![]() ![]() When you work with clients, you want to do everything you can to ensure they are happy with your services. If for some reason a client becomes unhappy with your work, then you should send him or her an apology note and offer ways to make things better. Try as much as possible to avoid any such problems in the future and try to maintain a strong working relationship with everyone who have entrust their job into your care. E get why ![]() I like what you’re doing but here are the attributes that’ll help you excel in a typical naija business environment: - You must be Hungry - You must be Humble - You must be Smart You can’t have only two. You must possess all the attributes. If need be, you can engage someone to help act as a bridge between you and your client when receiving clients’ brief and learn to do more of emails and less of chats. I do that - acting as a bridge - very often on my projects for all the tradespeople to prevent avoidable conflicts. Finally, ”Grow through what you go through.” ______ I’m pretty sure you know the next thing to do. _____ Pic 1-3 - A typical transaction with a Nairaland architect on behalf of a client in diaspora. I’ve done nothing less than 30 buildings with this guy and I don’t even know what he looks like or where he lives. We don’t get to start anything until everything has been clarified. Though it’s a premium service ![]()

KolaShangOne: TIME IS ALSO A FACTOR OF THE PERCENTAGE... YOU NEED TO DECIDE IF YOUR CONTACT TERMS IS TIME BOUND OR BASE ON QUANITY OF WORK LIKE CONTRACT SUM... WHICHEVER YOU CHOOSE, ALL SHOULD BE SPELT OUT IN THE AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE ENGINEER AND THE CLIENT.. FOR EXAMPLE... IF I SIGN A CONTRACT OF 10MILLION WITH TO RUN FOR 30 DAYS... AFTER THE 30DAYS, THERE SHOULD BE AN AMOUNT TO BE PAID EXTRA PER DAY ADDITIONAL FOR SHOWING UP ON SITE.. ALL NA AGREEMENT... I CAN EVEN DO IT FOR FREE.. |

n3xt:Thank you Bosun for being the bridge between them, like they say experience is the best teacher. I remember you went thru a situation like this years back, to God be the glory, you came back more matured with a promising future. The way we react to issues is different as individuals, in my opinion the young man work to put drawing on paper in fairness he should be paid, at the same time the client needs to get satisficed for job he paid for. We should all exercises patience with dealing with issues instead of castigating each other on the web, that may not do well for either. There is always a better way of resolving conflict without belittling each other. My advice to the young promising engineer; try not getting into arguments with clients no matter how little their job may be. you never know , that same client may open a bigger door for you in the future. There are couple of humble contractors out here, I can bet with anything Aventures is one of the most humble human being I've ever worked with in this platform without setting my eyes on him till date. He wasn't the only one, their is a couple of them. I hope you take Brabus advice seriously because your future is bright here. 3 Likes |

POP materials in particular is highly unlikely to come down cos the price increase is/was from the manufactures/distributors unlike cement and other materials. I was given a 2wks heads up or thereabouts on this one to stockpile and it came to pass. Takoro13: 1 Like |

So you want to go about collecting floor plans for free? Then tomorrow we complain when they ask the next client to make commitments to avoid doing osho-free work from the experience they had with you and the likes. What you should do is brief the architect on what you want and agree on payment plan. If you don't have a unique design and you request from one of his previous works then they are at the discretion to charge a fee for it. Its their work, or how else are they suppose to make money?

megacontrol: Free how??..Both architects i've had the opportunity to work with sent floor plans for a 3D I chose before they received their payments in 'full'. They are in this platform- I paid '65K' for the first 4 bedroom bungalow and '50K' for the second 4 bedroom bungalow. I'm not forcing you to send floor plan, please keep it to yourself. I will as well keep the money in my pocket gently. I've once paid a token to someone I don't know because he sent me 'complete plan' after he posted the structure for review. Some others have declined, I moved on. If you don't understand I'm not fluent in pigin. 6 Likes 1 Share |
