The question wasn't complete.
@sinorte, painters prefer the cleaning is done after they are done. This may be because they don't want to do any cleaning of the mess they leave behind. They could easily touch stained walls while cleaning their mess.
Walls may be stained while cleaning after painting is done and with no painter and exact color for the part stained available, it would not be easy unless it's a cleanable paint.

For me, I do painting before and after post cleaning.

It depends on how much you’re willing to spend.

What I can infer from this is that it's better to have the two of them on site at the same time. I'd have preferred to have the cleaning done after painting, but I'm just worried about the cleaners messing up the painting during cleaning.

gbadexy:

The painter simply returns to do touchings after cleaning.

Yes more like it. But instead of just touching some parts, I ask him to apply one last coat on select areas.

I hate having different shades on the wall.

sinorte:


More money for the paint vendor

twinskenny:
he will still stain the floor? lol

It will be a little drop of paint
Reason why you need to engage good painter as I mentioned in my quote up there.
That system is just the best approach but ONLY to who knows how to arrange for such

DancingSkeleton:
Is this quotation fair at all? Total sqm is 233

It's a private residential building. So I'm just asking, after construction is completed and all fittings fitted, is it advisable to paint before or after post construction cleaning?

Dominionng:


233 x 6,000

= N1,398,000

Covers for your precast ceiling with screeding of the CEILING.

IF you are worried of the quality of the job, a trusted member can volunteer as an escrow, and funds will only be released when is completed and verified.

Your precast POP ceiling comes out BETTER when screeding is applied on the ceiling, but the above quote doesn't have screeding materials included.

You can even avoid drips/spills messing up your floor during final touches. Some use old newspaper and other materials to cover their floor.

michlins:
one told me that I must grease his hands if I want to work in one site like that.


Made a supply and he told oga I used inferior materials. I want die. Fear religious knucklehead

n3xt:


Na! We are talking professional touch here. I mean those who will avoid completely drips and accidental spills during painting.

That’s why we paint twice. The final coat is just touching.

The same applies to electrical fittings installation. I always do mine after paint work.

Baba, I've had my share of wonderful diaspora clients. Even a handful I'm still working for at the moment.

Likewise some dubious and pompous fellows.

Many years back when I was still ignorant. Right here on Nairaland with my interior enterprise, I execute diaspora client's projects without mobilization.

Since the story has always been how vendors default on agreements, then I decided to get payment only when projects are 100% completed and accessed, since I personally can get materials from my suppliers and pay later.

This made me to win a lot of client's trust, but reality sets in when some clients started defaulting.

I was almost ran out of business which made me to start doing things differently. Millions of naira still pending till date.

topsy23:


The best is to fix all fittings after first coat and tape them round with masking tape before the final paint

Same way it’s done in fit-out constructions.

But not always done the right way in a “customer is always right” projects.

"Fit-out constructions", "customer is always right projects"? Please explain sir. It's time to learn again.

The problem isn’t the subcontractor.

The problem is that both the client and the referrer failed to handle the transaction very well. They didn’t do anything to protect themselves during the signing stage.

I can give you 100% upfront for a job but I’d put system in place that will ensure you deliver. This could either be incentives, penalties or dire consequences.

I’ve once entered into a contract few years back with a client who needs some level of assurance.

I made an agreement to pay the client N50k for every week if we exceed the expected delivery date.
________

When something happen to me, I don’t look for people to blame. I look around me and ask myself “Did I really handle this well?”

But I think “not owing up” is kinda Nigeria thing.

_________

Will anyone beat me for owing up?

So you are going to do the clients work with your money. I thought this is not done in Nigeria
