But you know you won’t patronize him yet u want him to and go measurements for you for free

That is why it’s called affordable. Even panu that some people use, they don’t have problems with it.
Not everyone will patronize you. Those with good taste won’t. There is nowhere you can justify a #4000 per square roofing sheet with # 9000 per square roofing sheet.
Common sense should let you know that you have not been in the market for up 20 years for significant difference to start showing.
I want my roof to last a lifetime, and I went with a product that is tested and trusted over time.

Read his last message. He says he knows how / where to arrange for the quality brands.

If nothing happen to the roofing sheet within that above year
You go visit the site and damage it now
MR EXPENSIVE

You will be alrty

Yes not everybody will patronize me and not everyone will stick to your rules that he should visit ur site without paying him tfare, i don't think that should be arguement
If you can't pay the person tfare look for somewhere closeby to purchase your goods.. nobody force you
Soldier go Soldier Come barrack No dey dry
Know this and know peace..
And i don't think av ever come to your Dm or force you to patronize me does that know my quality keep coming back... thank God for that

Goodnite Mr Favourite

No cheap roof would last 20 years. Even ten years is a bonus. To me it’s penny pound wise pound foolish.
The few gentlemen I have patronize here, none of them have ever begged or dm me for patronage.
So, don’t assume they are sneaky.

money121:

His not refering to me ooo
Just whyning him so he can mention the roofer his refering to
Not me

money121:

You will be alrty laslas don't worry
Goodnite
Need to wakeup for sahur mind you we continue tomorrow
Unless you mention the roofer that request for 25k from you
Stop capping on internet
We know your type

sonnie10:

Conscience is an open wound.
Have you ever requested for someone to send you #25k for transportation to East?
If yes, then you are the one
If no, then it’s not you I was was talking about.

money121:

Mention the member stop capping on faceless forum

sonnie10:

If I say you are the one, what difference does that make?

money121:

Lies

Somebody else came from Warri at no cost and got the job. That was almost #8M. Another sent someone from Nnewi and said he gave the person #5k for transportation, but he did not get the job because he didn’t have Tilcor which was my choice as compared to other roofing sheets.
It is the cost of doing business.

However my issue with this particular member here was the arrogance from demanding this transportation fee payment up front like it was an entitlement.

FEGEITOK:


There is a cost of doing business, agreed!

As to your last paragraph, it goes to show something I have said before, people do business with people they like, so everyone cannot and will not be a client/customer, because everyone cannot like you.

Thanks for clarifying.

I really don't understand. Why will you expect someone to leave his location and come to yours across different states just to take measurement when there's no assurance you'll give him the job?


Why not just patronise those around you? You're lucky he didn't ask you to pay for his flight to and fro.

You want to give someone a job of 8M but you can't pay his 25k transport. So if his transport indeed costs 25k and he goes to four of such places without getting the jobs, 100k is gone. How much is he making from the jobs?

Every contractor knows you'll probably get to execute 3 (or less) out of every 10 quotations you send. Why will any sensible contractor risk his life and waste his money on something with such a low probability of success?

redgem:
At this point, my confusion is confused.... I am totally lost!!! Migraine!!! Anyways, thank you so much to everyone who took out time to help me sort out my predicament.. I really appreciate you all, God bless everyone of you 🙏

hello

our building project foundation was completed approximated 8-months ago then we paused to repack our pockets.

now our blocks are hand-mould using dangote cement and removing approximately 40-blocks per bag using only sharp-sand and stone-dust.

now we were putting in the pillars, and we noticed, unlike few months ago when the blocks were strong almost like a rock, now with the rains, it's still strong, but not as strong as it used to. though workers still swear it's so much strong but personally, i know it isn't as strong as they used to be.

i want to know if the strength would return when it dries after the rains.

the foundation is about 8-months old

If you patronize any business, you are doing them a favor. They are not doing you a favor, they are working to earn a decent living, just like you worked to earn the money.
Even Coca Cola is still looking for customers.

I was arguing with the pop guy cos of the measurements he gave me.... I told him why is it more than the total sqm of the building and he said cos they multiply the total sqm of the building with the height of the building... Please how true is this?

CivilEngineer90:
hmmm don’t carry around this mindse because most of those workers are far better than you in terms kf archivement they just choose to play humble to secure the job bro. There are some clients I don’t drive to their site so they don’t feel intimidated and assume i charge premium so chill

I've been to anambra to give paint quantity estimate for different colors per each section but I didn't get the job.
The person paid for my transport and quality hotel reservation and the whole trip was a pleasant experience for me so I didn't feel my 2 days was wasted.
Imagine an artisan that his work couldn't go on without his presence and who depends on regular daily pay spending his money and time and not getting the job.
Sometimes it's not all about cost of doing business or being prudent but being humane and understanding. These tokens won't make a dent in the finance of someone able to put up a structure plus it would be deducted from the payment if they get the job.
Before I'm accused of entitlement, I give painters that I don't share in their payment money for site inspection and sometimes personally add to their payment if I feel it's low and they collected it out of no choice or to please me.
We recently supplied a member ready mixed screeding putty ( basecoat) and I decided to document the process.

The video is the production process of the basecoat.
I was inspired to post this reading about the discussion on screeding and cost per sqm.
The cost for materials and labor is under N900 per sqm including transport within lagos and this being the best possible screeding material.

Amosaloud:


Good morning madam. Please how much are they charging you for external screeding per sq metre?
Professionals in the house, what is the usual rate per square metre (labour only) for external wall screeding? Thanks for your response

Two different client in abuja paid for my flight to and fro… one I got the job the other I did not base on the fact that the building is already in an advanced stage so we can’t do much again!

He paid for my flight accommodation.
