Pleas help,
250 square meter is how many feet by how many feet?
you need to specify the sides measurements but 250 square metre would be approximately the equivalent area of 50 feet by 55feet.

What's the size of the door she requested - 900mm or 1200mm? I asked because the attached sample that you said she requested is 1200mm while the one you made was 900mm.


size isn't the problem here.

I hope your installer comes highly recommended.

If not, ensure they’re extremely careful handling the material especially when they’re climbing the roof.

My opinion.. some avoidable assumptions were made by both parties during this project and it has unintended consequences, financially,
Intentions are difficult to prove, so let’s not dwell on it.
Here is a suggestion. Check how much it would cost to remedy the situation; in terms of specific design, materials repainting and labour. It’s going to be painful we know. Be very honest about it and present the cost for deliberation. Maybe a 50/ 50 formula from both sides,
Redeem your name
Learn your lesson
Move on.
Lessons derived ; always send extensive pictures of sample work
Personally inspected all work before finishing
Avoid using stock pictures for sample where possible
Don’t make any assumptions when communicating
Don’t take more work than you can handle as your trade has to do with details.

On a side note. I had wanted you to visit my country home mason for all the metal work soon but these development shouldn’t be a yardstick for your performance.

I think this is purely communication issue.

Like someone shared earlier on this thread, most of these doors and gates always have design on one side, the other side is always plain or maybe that’s what me as a person would like.

I have one in my kitchen and it was plain and simple.

______

Pics - When someone asked me how much a similar door cost and I gave him price. He was like how much is blah, blah... so I decided to show him the construction pics and the quality of keys used on the door. It’s a local door with 4 locking mechanism.

That’s being explicit.


________

As for the finishing, I can’t really say much from a distance.

Beautiful cheesy
I love something that classic, something different from everybody’s norms because it seems POP (plaster board and co) is the new definition of luxury finishing in homes now and I believe it “might” be obsolete in few years time with the emergence of new designs.

Pls I need 100 bags of cement to be supplied to a site in Lekki Phase 1 today (or latest tomorrow morning).

Others are not willing to do less than 300 but we don’t have provision for storage on site.

Is there anyone here that can deliver 100 bags?

Thanks
