Experience has shaped us over the years.

With my clients knowledge, I once delegated a project to an engineer recommended by my client’s folk and he messed up badly but I get to bear the brunt.

Today, I personally supervise all my builds. I hardly miss a day on my site because I don’t take on more than one project at a time and I’ve learnt to set up boundaries/limit


Smart lesson!!.

We all have to learn to live to fight another day.

Do what you can, and do it right.. tomorrow is another day ... it's not always about the quantity but the quality and your peace of mind.

Thanks for bringing that up.. I hope others will learn from it.

You don’t want to know the role I play behind the scene here.

This is a big lesson for all!

Know your limit. Set boundaries. Grow through what you go through.

This is really nice and Proactive, how l wish the Contractor can borrow from this and provide Lighting for themselves, incase their work, especially that of Pouring Concrete, will extend into the night.
And who says Workers cant even work overnight, if there is proper lighting? undecided

Welldone bro.

My guys are working as I type.

They’re not casting. They’re Sandfilling and digging new foundation.

Corrections are being made as we speak.. Thank you for ur observation!

Good one.

Please don’t forget to engage an independent investigator to ascertain the integrity of the structure because your finished floor in the area where 10 inches slab was added might end up getting to almost 20 inches.

Old slab - 6 inches
New slab - 10 inches
Floor screed (prior to tiling) - 2 inches
Tiles - 0.5 inch

You need to be sure your columns can support the imposed load or there’ll be need for supplemental columns.

This is a strategy of a one-man-band. They don't grow. There is nothing wrong to take jobs from Cape to Cairo. It is the right thing to do. You take all trade that comes through your door and schedule your time. Time management. It is not limiting yourself (local champion) but building internal capacity in your business that ensures quality job delivery at all times and situations.

People, please invest back into your business as profit comes in and build capacity. Build internal system management and then engage and train people (staff, apprentice, contract staff) in the way of the business and they can execute jobs effectively from Cape to Cairo. This is not going to the nearest junction to pick one mallam to come and take level for decking.

The one-man-band approach is the biggest reason businesses fail and where they don't fail, they don't grow. This one-man-band approach is also the major reason we don't have any successful indigenous business in Nigeria that is over a hundred years old. Imagine something happens to your enemy today, your business is gone, and what about your client(s) with outstanding work? They will obviously suffer a loss too.

Good question here.

I’m actually not on both project at the same time.

Here’s the timeline of event:

XL6 Trillion
Start: March 2021
Substantial Completion: May 2021

Due to few changes which includes but not limited to changing the roof construction from wood to steel, the project is running into the month of June.

We had to wait almost 4 weeks for the subcontractor handling the installation of the roof trusses.

Those delays falls into excusable delays in NextHome contract because we can easily deliver roofing woodwork for the same structure within a day without the need to extend the completion date.

The Nonuplets (Phase 1)
Start Date: 23rd May 2021
Substantial Completion: August 2021

I’m currently on this project at the moment.

Go and be Julius Berger.

I’m in a niche business and I understand what works for me. Not what work for Julius Berger.

In 2015, I wrote and I’d quote again for those who are slow readers:



...

This is because the key to NextHomes' business model's success is in the attention to the details, creative outsourcing and collaboration. However, can I guarantee the same level of quality if a client's job is delegated? No! One person cannot possibly generate the amount of bandwidth the NextHome business model requires – I need help to serve all your needs.

Until I'm able to replicate as many Brabus as NextHome requires, our services will be limited to only clients within 3 - 5km radius of our Lekki Office.

However, if time-to-deliver is not of essence, then we game grin Otherwise, I'll simply let this pass!

Saying NO is never easy, but it is necessary at this moment as we are trying to maintain a high level of quality in all of our engagements. Saying YES to a client, and then doing a bad job due to lack of interest or time, is much, much worse in the long run than just saying NO.

There are more than one way to skin a cat.

There is actually an established, scientific Formula for design Staircases, based on their Length and Height, to determine the Risers.
Builders need to use it.

Accidents may happen if a Staircase is not well designed because anyone may fall when walking on it.
Yeah.
Maybe the structure in question wasn't designed by an architect.
Climbing a staircase is stressful, and inadequate design of some particular components in a building could make such house boring to live in.

No, it couldn't have been designed by a vegetable seller in the market but by one of the "professional we design and build company of Nig. Ltd" who must have deceived the client with a copied 3D perspectives of a particular house that he cannot sketch, define or defend it's floor plan let alone the structural components. Once you pay them, the trial and error game takes off...
