Joybalaba:Madam you don't have to be in Nigeria to file a transition dispute, if you're in the west that even give you better opportunity to get your money back, as far it is not cash transaction. If she received the money through bank you have a case, you can call the receiving bank once you have the individual information. I hope the lady is reading this as well, if she dose not came out to tell her own part of the story; taking this action will do tremendous damage to her business reputation and banking opportunity. |

PAPAFEELERS: Baba don’t go and take a huge risk. You still need your fabricator to do this. You just need to let him understand why you’re taking that approach. Don’t go to market and buy stuffs yourself. A client was made to buy 20 packets of drilling bits for a 39 window project.m whereas they use only 1 piece for the whole job. The bulk of the materials were stolen. You’ll need someone with experience to work with you on this. Before now, I pay people to do stuffs for me until 2013 when I paid my window fabricator to do a window and he travelled to Mecca ![]() ![]() Next thing, the client started dragging me over window. I didn’t have issues building the whole house from foundation to roofing within 40 days. The windows took almost 30 days. The guy kept showing same materials to almost 5 different contractors and we all believed our work is ongoing ![]() ![]() What I do now is to buy all my materials, take them to site and get fabricators to come and assemble and install on site. There’s nothing they need that I can’t/won’t provide. ______ On the 5mm thick glass, it’s really not compulsory. I just feel we needed something bold and stronger on the project and also I’m doing large windows. I have some windows as wide as 5m on the project. 4mm can as well achieve the same look. _______ 1 Like

n3xt:Hummmm. Interesting, experience is always the best teacher. If the fabricator came to site to fabricate the widows, are the welder coming to site to fabricate the burglary that will be imbedded in it as well. |

kopell: Since 2014 I do everything in my project on site. Just last week, I bought 2 welding machine and 2 x 7000kva generators, I hate headache. - incomplete windows - windows smaller/larger than provision - usage of inferior materials - increase in price of materials - lack of power supply If my fabricator mess up, there are so many others on the queue. The only job I do offsite are done in location near me. I mean closer to my house or my office. _____ Below is 2014 project. Just imagine what the lady who complained about her interior deco job is going through because she transacted with someone online. Imagine she gave the job to a nairaland contractor who in turn awarded same to the person who disappointed her. We’d be here blaming the contractor ![]() ______ Experience has shaped us. 1 Like

I just made delivery of some column shutters to a client this morning. The first thing I told the client was to confirm if there’s space to do the job on site or if he’s happy if I do it in a location near me for adequate supervision. 1 Like

BiigTee: Smiles. Even those who paid upfront haven’t gotten. ![]() ![]() I deal directly with the source and I know when I pay I get my orders supplied. I’m not selling cement though so if you get where you’ll get official rate supplied to you and payment received on site, I’d say jump at the offer. |

BiigTee: We plenty there. One of the directors in the Ministry of Housing is the engineer in charge. The project is a direct labour contract so projects is awarded to many contractors. |

megacontrol: Those were made-to-order. I’m a consultant on the project and we agreed to go with steel shutters due to the size of the project. 4 units of 30 mini flats. My steel panel aren’t ready for Lagos yet. I’m just making a new set (200 panels) and they won’t likely be ready until end of February. |

vickzie:me too i was shocked when i saw that price. Printing alone could cost up to 20k what about the expertise put into the design, the concept etc. structural design that comes less than 100k should be questioned because the calculations involved for each and every support of the building members self. As a structural engineer even a copy paste job isn't for amateurs let alone a fresh one. |

KelvinCoaster:okay let me tell u a little secret, most architects and engineers have apprentices, alot of thempr even IT students. They need them for clients like your neighbor that like to underpay. My CEO is a masters degree holder in civil engineering, he's like a god in this job he will never, I repeat never sit on his chair to analyze any job that isn't worth it when there alot of important steel jobs waiting to be touch. Even I won't bother, so such jobs are pushed down for the boyz to practice then checked by the engineer and the errors corrected, is that what you want? When u engage a professional, pay him well for his job and you will get your money worth. If that was how you are being paid in ur own job u won't be able to afford the drawingsinthe first place. 4 Likes |
