Please help me investigate this case... someone on what's app group is having issues with the painter he hired.

One of the issues at hand was that the painter was collecting the empty paint bucket used and he wants the empty buckets.. the painter said that's not how it is done.

This got me confused, I have done some projects in the past but didn't really get into details like that, like what happens to empty bag of cement, used bamboo , paint buckets etc. ( you need to leave room for family members to chop grin)

Who is right here? Does the client take possession of all the empty paint buckets or do painters keep them?

Cc: Gbadexy
if the clients bought the paints and materials for the job,he owns the bucket and stuff. It's no brainer


But if the painter charged for the job and was made to procure the materials used plus paints, he owns the bucket because he might have factored in the cost of reselling the buckets in his charges. So taking the buckets means taking some of his agreed amounts

@stanley000 you're everything I strive and work hard not to become. My clients are my everything. Big client or small client.

Someone begged in 2013 and in 2021 he's a landlord. What do you think he will become in 2023.


If you can't deliver for your client, don't berate or insulat him or her. All we need in life is an opportunity and someone gave you that opportunity and instead of you to make use of it, you dragged it through the mud with your ungratefulness.

In a country where minimum wage is #30,000, someone gave you #20,000 with begging and all you could do is insult him

A more deadly epidemic is religion and poverty. The combination of the two is worse than death.


The rich ran away from the country taking their Hindu gods with them on their jets, the poor are here doing these and risking another infection like tuberculosis and whatnot

This is the right and wise thing to do at a time like this. Unfortunately, this puts more pressure on the supplies pushing prices further up. And eventually, your stock will still finish and you'll still go back to the market. Even the manufacturers are affected too cos they have to buy raw material.

I'm seeing shops in my area not able to stock up to their usual level because they can't buy the same quantity to sell as before.
it's an endless vicious cycle we are in. So buy up as much as you can

This issue is a dicey one. Real estate may store value but how easily can it be liquidated? With the rate of inflation skyrocketing, a house valued at N100m may stay months or even years in the market without buyers. I watched a documentary about some folks who had their houses listed for sale about 5 years ago without buyers even after heavy discounts. If owners want to match rent to high cost of building materials, their units will remain vacant because income is not rising with inflation.

The situation in Nigeria now is a very big challenge even for Economists.

CBN confirms N410.25/$ as new official exchange rate[center][/center]
https://punchng.com/cbn-confirms-n410-25-as-new-official-exchange-rate/

The serial devaluation of the naira by the Central Bank of Nigeria is a major limiting factor to the Federal Government Mass Housing Scheme and a stumbling block to the aspirations of millions of Nigerians to own their homes and live in decent accommodation. Now that the CBN has finally devalued (yet again) the Naira to N410/$, brace yourselves to further hikes in the prices of building materials. The CBN Governor (Godwin Emefiele) is the weakest link in this administration. He is out of his depth.

Could u kindly buttress more on the implications of the tank on decking issue u spoke of.. I am almost at this stage of my project
don't do it. Water is very heavy so adding such weight to your foundation will bring about cracks in no distance time especially if the foundation isn't prepared for it.


How about water leaking from the taps and dropping into the house and if it's pop ceiling,it immediately gets condemned.


How do you fix issues with leakage and routine washing of the tank. Just don't do it. Do a separate tank stand even though it's expensive but it's safer and better

1 tonne of 12 mm rod in Lagos is #380k as at today.

I went to my vendor shop to buy and when he gave me the price, within my mind I felt he wanted to cheat me and we quarreled a bit before i angrily left his shop only for me to go to another vendor and they quoted me #385k last. I left there and went to another place and I was told #380k last price.

Shame couldn't make me go back to the initial vendor who has been my supplier since the inception of my project. Little did I know he was giving me the actual price. I had to later buy from the third person because I felt guilty of quarreling with my supplier and didn't have the energy going back to his shop.

God help this country with the way price of material is increasing. This same 1 tonne 12 mm rod was less than 200k as at October 2020.
please oga mi and everyone else reading this,if I give you a quotation and you angrily quarrel with me, kindly come back when you verify that I am not cheating you. Don't let shame make you give another person the money you're supposed to give me. It's not your fault for getting angry neither is it my fault for charging so high.

somehow:
Meaning price is about doing 100% within 8 months?

What exactly is driving the cost with speed is what I am trying to understand.

Is it that the process of manufacturing these rods is now more complex or what exactly is what I don't get.

Price doubling within 8 months is alarming.
My charges have doubled in less than eight months as you pointed out. Someone contacted me some days ago about a standing tank. Gave him the current price and he was almost freaked out. He was like, how can the prices double already. 6 by 3 H channel I buy 65,000 before, but I paid 95,000 with lots of begging for 5 by 3 on Saturday after making a quotation with 90,000 two weeks ago
