I have been trying my best to moderate this thread against advertisemenr and scammers. But I cannot do it alone, it takes everyone using this thread to help me and come down heavy on those people. I used to have a full power of Moderator on this forum to delete post and sanction the abusers, but that power has been taken away when I was stripped of the Moderators priviledges. I hate to see sellers, contractors or any dubious person take advantage of this thread and forum to scam anyone.
So, people let's join together and stop all the advertisers and scammers.

That's nice... I better do copy copy sharp sharp.
I had 3 Caucasian puppies in the past. Unfortunately, I lost 3 of them at the age of 1 year within the span of a month.
They got parvo virus infection from a vet clinic when they wen for their immunisation.
I have been so scared of keeping any dog since then. I managed to keep a mixed breed GSD since last year and it's been fun

Caucasians to family members are like harmless playful cats but to the stranger, they are lions

Please oh,do they charge separate price for staircase tiling and outside pillar tilling,am being told it’s a different price from the 350 per sqm. For floor and wall tiling,got me confused
I discovered this recently myself. While they charged me 350 for floor, I was charged 60k per flight of stairs of about 17 steps. I nearly convulsed when my 2 stairs was estimated to 120k. Eventually I was able to do it for 45k per flight of stairs which amounted to 90k for both stairs .

These Indian companies in Abuja charge 4 to 6k per metre depending on if the borehole is full casing or hanging. An initial srivey may be nice to give an idea of how deep your hole will need to be

Hello house. My problem has always been in appropriate pricing of labour and I'm in another deep one again.

Very slow of the seller. A debit alert from the buyer is not enough, you need to confirm that money has entered your account. This is why most sellers won't accept fund transfer except it is from a trusted customer
This issue of sms alert self get as he be. I don't think people should rely on sms for confirmation but direct confirmation from his account through online his banking app etc.
Aside the fact that the sms may fail to deliver, fake ones are all over the place.

Oga mi Melakes. You are one of the outstanding professional businessman I have ever had to deal with on Nairaland.
The quality of your work speaks for itself. I am more than glad to contract you for all the 6 bathrooms shower cubicles.
Your cost are reasonable and the quality of materials you used are superb, even when I was trying to play kobo-kobo miser,
your advise on kind of materials to use is very convincing. Even when I thought the spaces are too small for the cubicles,
you were able to create sufficient space for the cubicles.I thank you for all your good work on this project.
I can and will surely recommend you 1000% to those who may require your services. You are a gentleman and very good at what you do.
Thank you very much for your great contribution to my project. God bless you.

To be honest with you, just under a100k is a good reflection of the market rate. 90k should be what you should have in mind and then skirt around that with him. There's a lot of specialist knowledge involved.

In situations like this, it's good advice not to do "brother, brother". Pay a reflection of the market price or close to it and only then will you be morally and financially justified to demand professionalism in job execution.

If you pay peanuts don't be surprised to get monkey service, brother or no brother. You don't want to execute so important an aspect of your project as if you are being done a favour. You can't cough if anything goes wrong. Then you will be hearing things like: "after all I'm doing you a favour.
Daboomb:
So, he needs to draw the wires ONLY, for now?
The Pipes are already in place.
He is also not doing fittings for now (meaning you are still going to pay for that later and that needs to be deducted now and added later)

Averagely, it should cost you (not more than) between 35K - 45K to do a complete wiring of a 3-bed Flat.
Broken down further, kitchen -10K, Rooms - 5K each, Living Room - 10K, Balcony+ Corridors - 5K.

In terms of percentages, Piping - 30%, Draw cable - 35%, Fittings & testing - 35%. Share the amount appropriately, in these percentages.

Use the above as a rough guide to come to a reasonable, negotiable value for/with your workman.

Its is a rough guide l have used and it worked for both client and workman.
Remember to pay in tranches, based on work done to-date otherwise....

BTW: Pls stop this "na my brother" things, dont do relationships, when doing business. Pay For Service and Demand to be Served Properly.
This is good. Yes, it is running of rhe wires. We aren't doing fittings yet.

Thanks boss but he's almost completed the work. He's done with electrical, he's running the CCTV, Intercom and TV cables next week. It's impossible to get another quotation while he's on site.

Someone who refused to name his price will definitely not complain even if d op decides to give him 10k. He is just trying to be a good man shouldn't stop d op from giving him what he would give a regular artisan.
Thank you very much sir. Sincerely what I need actually is what we consider far to pay him. In terms of favour, I would say I have benefitted more from him than I would say I offered him. He needs to survive and take care of his family... And this is business...

The first floor has 3 bedrooms and a sitting room while the pent floor has 2 bedrooms and a sitting room. Each room has about 4 electric sockets and the wiring includes TV antenna and CCTV.

Please what sounds good as workmanship for this level of work? Just wiring, no electrical fittings yet.
