Wow wow . I'm really really disappointed in you with this comment, why because you're a young new comer on this thread, i'm watching to probably consider you with my new projects. Please guys be careful you never know who is watching or reading your comments, character matters a lot. Because of the small charge, if I get you right 26 - 29 that is just 3 days, you already bring the issue to public forum ehn o ga oo. It is well. Ogardinma.

see when a client start behaving like this, he will not pay, in a week time i will remind you of this your comment and how the client still did not pay, i will remind you.

I can see clients taking sides here, but it's well

yemi2plus:
IMO, three days isn't a long time to review the drawings especially since it is to be reviewed by a third party.

Remember, you started dragging this customer less than 48hrs after submitting the final drawings.

24hrs is enough to make a comment on it, who takes 3 days to review a drawing, even when i asked what the problem is he said nothing.

Happy Sunday guys

These situations are always dicy. I'm referring to payment of balance on drawings

I'll share an experience: I contracted an architect to produce a drawing for a duplex, payment 80% was paid upfront for the job. I told the architect to produce drawing in accordance to govt town planning specifications.

After the final drawing was sent and balance paid, The client took the drawing to town planning, and they requested some changes to pass approval.

Do you know the architect then requested more money to make those changes and refused to modify the work?

So I can understand the need to review the final drawings before the final payment is made.

My 2 cents: As a service provider (especially with things that don't require materials) your work is your legacy and represents you even when you aren't there, you should be willing to make modifications to your work within a sensible time frame. In this case, someone who was willing to pay a person 75% of the funds in trust, will definitely pay the balance. I'm sure he is trying to avoid the situation I mentioned above.

And as many people have stated here, fighting with a client/customer is never a good idea regardless.

@brickdevo In business we all have wins & loses no matter how much due diligence you adopt, it is just how life is. If the client decides to play funny, count it as a loss and keep doing your great work. No shake, the universe that brought you this client will bring more.

he first paid 30% as against 40% i requested so i could start, and we agreed if i send the full drawing he will pay the rest,
i sent in the drawing, he then paid part of what is remaining, when i queried him, he said he wanted his builder to review it,
that was not a problem as i understand the need for the review, my only concern is why is it taking this long, i have done a lot of designs for client here, just
sometime ago a client chatted me asking for the roof sqm of the building i designed she has gotten to that stage to buy roofing sheets, i provided it without asking for extra money that was weeks after design has been done, she even sent me the pictures of the building.
I also designed a building for client from NL, at final stage he said i will show it to my wife then i will get back to you, and this is even after i submitted his complete drawings and he paid full.

Why is it taking 3days to review a single simple floor plan?

For the record let it be known to all, that the client has not paid the balance up till now.

Philipgarza31:
so your point is a lazy and patient dog eats the fattest bone however if the bone doesn't come you can move on, if no money on you then download one of those online loan apps and get a loan. But if called by another client exhibit the same cowardice and spend your cash on fuel and wait patiently again for the client to call you after 6months. Hope I got your message well and If I didn't please explain it well to me because that analogy of yours is something I don't even want to understand in my life..

Don't mind him, the other guy said the client can take however long he wants until he's satisfied before he can make full payment.

This is a NO NO NO. Discount is at your discretion. It shouldn't come in to the equation? Why did he give you the job? Do you think he didn't ask others here about their fee? You both should have agreed on modalities for the payments.
After paying you 75% of the fee, your question to him should have been: how many hours or days would the review take him? If he now fails, we then can start doubting his integrity. Since there was no verbal or written agreement, both of you should tread carefully. You know people are observing. Going forward, even if na 1k be your money after discount, have a written agreement on how the payment will be made.

Wether he asked others I don't care, am telling you the sacrifice I did to ensure he gets a quality work at an affordable rate, holding my money for what I don't understand is not acceptable, since January 26th....

And I just told you we never had such agreement, and I have never seen where a client hold someone's money for two days because of review, we are talking of a single floor plan, a bungalow at that, taking days to review, where is it done, just tell me where..... What is my business with his builder so if the builder is sick or something I shouldn't get my money.

coldcandy:
It is within your right to review it before final payment. However this should have been agreed to at the beginning so that the timeframe for review will not cause problem.
Personally I will never subscribe to an online design service.

We never agreed such, and that is not the way it is done, after a day or two he is yet to review it, who does that, up till now he's yet to release the balance, go to my thread I have done a lot of designs for people who if they come for modifications or correction do that after full payment,
so if he comes back and say he wants to add this and that, I should do that because he's owing me?

This is someone who I took consideration of the money he spent in the initial design to give a huge discount and give him quality design is telling me to wait for builder to review, for how long, was it part of our initial agreement? What is my business with your builder.

Oandy89:
Trust is what I mentioned to you for sending a part payment without knowing you. I am really surprised at your gesture.

kindly tell the house why you have refused to pay me the remaining balance, can you?

Philipgarza31:
so you actually sent him what he requested hoping he will lay you by the grace of God you are yet to understand the law of power

I've been dealing with clients that way and never had issues, hid did pay part of the agreed amount and has now refused to pay the rest

Philipgarza31:
hmmmm another issue of client refusing to pay professionals for work done. Is this now the new trend on property section? To come here and use people's expertise and run away ? I am sure no one will come into the issue since it is not a client complaint.

I don't just understand why people are like this, I even charged him less than what I do normally charge

Oandy89:
Can I have 2units of two-bedroom flats and 2 units of self-contained as semi-detached on an 18mx10m land space.
