Well said Chief
It's advisable to spell out terms of work from start truly but I will give n recommend the artisan that does that over the one that doesn't even if his/her bill is quite high.
Cheers

You're on point.✓

EgunMogaji2:
I’m with you Sir.

The NairaLanders that have worked at my site can attest to cleanliness and cleanup being part of the negotiation.

It’s doubly important to me because I already live onsite and have two Dobermans.

It’s not about cheating but adhering to the agreed upon scope of work.

People treat you and your property the way you allow them to treat you and it.

The point is clear✓ .

bobkezel:
If you mess up my house and you didn't clean it after your service... My brother, there's nothing like respectfully requesting for you to clean it up...
I must scold you for messing with my house...
Imagine leaving your car for a mechanic and he messed up your seat with oil...
Or giving a cobbler your shoe and leaves hardened gum allover your shoe...
And you tell me to start negotiating cleaning....
What is worth doing is worth doing well...

Lol .

rotecch77:
You get it wrong brother, we are talking about pop waste product while they are working on site, it’s there full duty to clear all those rubbish on floor before they leave the site ,
Even my glass and doors if your messed up with it you will clean it for me bcs you met it in good condition.
Nobody asked them to do normal general cleaning of the house

If happed they didn’t pack it who’s responsibly to pack all that mess they did, is it bricklayer, electrician or tiller that will pack it ? It’s question to you,
If happed that others artisan left the site in such mode before there arrivals will be have good environment to work.

See all my worker either staff or I engage you it’s a deal btw us that you must clear your portion after you delivered your job.

General cleaning of the house is diff to this

The Bolded is well said✓
Since you both agreed, before you engage them, Anyone who breaches the agreement, can face the consequences.

what am against is: Nothing is said at the start of the job, after the completion of the job then one disrespectfully request them to clean it up, just because you think it's their job & when they don't, you just divert their funds. This is not a kind thing to do. ×

Horlardorjah:
Nope, you are not right with this. You need not be told to know you have to do the right thing.

if you met the site you are to work littered or filled with dirts on your arrival, will you be comfortable to work in such environment?
How do you make a difference n set standard n class amidst common artisans, n does it even promote or add value to your work?
Those are edges artisans have over each other

Ans To your ??: NO
Morning sir.
You missed the Point.
Personally i don't like dirts. From my first day on a project, I make available a trash bag for my workers to use in order not litter the environment.

Talking About POP stains, which are unavoidable but can definitely be minimised with some measures, I'd reiterate again "it's not the job of pop workers to clean up the stains for you, but you can respectfully request them to help".
Dirts or stains: it's advisable to spell out the terms & objectives of a contract/job/work before you give it, so as to avoid arguments.

The common Nigerian behaviour: you will see someone eating snacks in his car & he will wind down just to throw the nylon or trash whatever on the road!!! So many examples of such disgusting habits.

But I believe you can bring people up to your standard & make them learn certain things or give terms on how they can work with you perfectly.

Ps: My post is not an attack on anyone.
it's just a call to attention.


We all make mistakes.

sonnie10:
Please be sure to tell them about the cleaning part ahead of time. That is before they even start.
Some people can turn stories around very fast.
Trust me, if you don’t tell them before hand, what they will say is “na so we dey do am, nobody don ever complain”
Then, you become the bad person trying to take advantage of someone that worked for you.

The Point exactly.

rotecch77:
Those guys, most especially the Togo, egun, are very dirty about this accept, cleaning of working place is not in there dictionary.
But me oo if you don’t clear and clean my site after pop I will give your balance to another Labour to do the needful. So they always cooperate with me.

Good Evening Sir.

Cleaning is definitely not part of the scope of work for Pop workers. That's meant for the cleaners.

However, you can respectfully request them to clean up for you, before or after you've given the job.

Diverting poor Labour's balance after they've completed your job, just because they didn't clean up the site for you, is really not a kind thing to do sir.✓


This is just a call to attention✓.
God bless you Sir.

KolaShangOne:
Floor- scraping.
Wall - will be covered by screeding.
Doors and windows - carefully scraping and use of wet cloth.

The general advice is to cover everything you don't want stained during POP (including doors and widows)

Good advice, exactly what we did during our recent project.✓

Only if a particular country and her puppies stop building military bases all over the world in the quest to control the world.

The Reality....

true2home:
The honest truth about moving is simply " Awareness" . I you plan to move to Nigeria or anywhere for that matter, be AWARE of the area!!! Someone lived his 45 years of live in Ketu Area without any incident. Arrival USA and got shot 6 times within 4 Months. Turn on you TV in any USA cities and you will fear for you life.

The issue that affect your ability to live anywhere is Self Awareness. If you are rich, live among the rich. If you like your OLD hood: be prepare to pay heavily the cost of being rich and living in the HOOD. Its like dangling a bag of corn and wondering why the chickens are after you.

My point is that we Nigerians afraid of our home country are often over reacting: yes i said it!!! There are concerns that are particular to any Third World Countries, which Nigeria is one of the, but keeping low profile and not showing-off will keep you save.

Lastly, any cities in Nigeria is equivalent to a GHETTO in US; don't be deceived by the big houses there. I prefer a Sub urban area of town to live as a returnee and doing it quietly too.

Morning Ya'll

seunpinky:
Boss, that one na topic for another day.. although I understand there are several factors within the Nigerian mkt that makes open market pricing difficult..

I also saw the cut to size for a token section and yeah variety of tools at our disposal.

I believe we should all be open to learning, unlearning and relearning.

it helps us grow✓

Horlardorjah:
Until we change the country from politics of thuggery and do or die. Those omo onile are not just doing omo onile, they answer to our politicians n highly placed people during election, when they want to flush out their opponents, get their items for rituals or cause mayhem.
Don't be surprised, they have commissioners of police and the likes on their speed dial and they have been to so many cells and back.

True Talk.✓

TwinsKenny is more than an electrical company.

Personally his is the type of place where I would love to get into. He does a lot more that your typical Nigerian electrician.

Kano.
The dream is too big for them, they merely want to sell immediately and make cool money. The man even showed me a size enough to make a pair of shoes, he said 500naira.

The foreigners are seeing the untapped resources in Nigeria, the reason why they are coming in droves to set up companies in Nigeria, we can't blame ourselves sha because we have limited exposure on how to process things.

Why I low key fault those that have traveled and stayed for years over there, look at those things the whites are doing easily that we are still struggling with, come back and recreate it, you will make easy millions.

That is what PEAK did, peak used to import dairy milk for their milk production in Nigeria until they discovered that the Fulanis sell a liter for less than 500naira, guess what they did? They set up collection centers in various Fulani settlements, sensitize them on how to collect clean milk, and even helped them to plant pastures so their cattle won't have to graze long distances to feed.

The collection centers are now buying milk for 2k to 3k per liter daily from the Fulanis, win-win.

Fulanis Earns more without hawking THOUSANDS of miles just to earn 500naira
Peak milk also gets cheaper raw milk right in Nigeria.

We have many untapped resources in Nigeria, hardship no too make us see them

Thanks for this post.
