Bros, I made the first comment on that post. I honestly think you do too much in a bid to impress. No one is arguing about wood. It just comes off as taking us for toddlers when you say you rewarded the supplier after seven years for that. It’s just not OK. Please do better.

@redgem.
I reside in Benin. HS broker helped me with the woods. Though he promised 12 feet but what he supplied were between 8 to 10 feet. But the woods were of good quality. Talk to both your carpenter and Engineer. You can get 12 feet wood in Benin.

I greet all good and well wishers of this thread and Nairaland as a whole.

I have something in mind to shear here which I believed it will be of great help for both clients, build industry professionals,artisans, suppliers etc
Let me go straight to the point without waste much of our time.

The rate at which some good clients here are treated badly is alarming same applicable to some good build industry professionals , artisan, suppliers etc.

Some people will remember when this particular thread was almost gone few years back when some good people here ran away bcs of one reason or the others, I called back most of them then.
Now I can see that same thing is about to happen again.

Now this is my suggestion.
1– let’s create a well functioning disputes resolution thread to oversee any dispute that concerns construction and services related matters here.
This thread will nominate , home owners, elders, young and old minded professionals in construction field, a well biz guru etc to solve any issues that might comes up now or in future so that a good clients, professionals, artisan, sales men and woman will not be drag here without deep verification.

Because here a lot of biz to happens which requires good monitoring if am not mistaken
If you think nothing concerns you bcs you have not been duped or dragged here without proper investigation then when your own turn comes around it will be like a magic to you.

More suggestions are welcome in other to bring sanity to this section of Nairaland and Nairaland as a whole

For the fact that we do not have a system in place doesn’t mean we can’t protect ourselves in our individual transactions and minimize risks and preventable losses.

Here are some of ideas I think we can explore:

1. POD on supplies between 20k - 500k. See no. 6 below for supplies worth more than 500k

2. 10% contract security on transactions worth over N2m to be deposited with the owner.

3. Payment on Installments (POI) basis for Labour only contracts. Payment for stage of work is released after all works within the scope has been inspected and satisfactorily completed.
In event of additions/deletions, the difference is calculated and an agreed sum is released to the contractor.

4. Performance bond on contracts exceeding N5m. I think the issuing company now take CofO. Don’t take PB from jankara agents o. Banks and reputable financial institutions would do fine.

5. Parent Company Guarantee should be used when dealing with skilled professionals and artisans who cannot readily provide some of the security documents above.
The guarantor (who could be former boss, client, reputable supplier etc) would pay back the client in event of contractors default or losses incurred.
A form of collateral should be obtained from the PCG.

6. Hire verified suppliers the same way you hire contractors in a mega scale development and issue letter of credit.

________

Some few minutes ago, a client here just ring me to inform me he’s awarding a job to one of my artisans and need some form of guarantee.

I thank him and told him “I’ll ensure all the materials are delivered to your site before you make any commitment.”
I immediately put a call through to my supplier and ask the contractor to go and make booking on my account.

_________

I’ve equally tow this route on a project where the client need some form of guarantee.
We agreed the project would only commence when the contractor has shown some level of commitment to the project, so some items were delivered on Payment on Delivery basis.

Paris, such fond memories of that city. We vacationed inside that Eiffel Efe tower gangan. Poor people don’t know there is a luxury suite in there reserved for the VVIPs, people like us that have made it. I remember the supersonic dating done on the ironworks. I still get emails asking me to come back because I gave a £1500 tip to the staff on that visit.

I see you did the WH too, it’s almost as big as my edifice. I will await your bid for my monument, Sir! Let’s see if you can impress me with your pricing. I hope you are not 419 o! But even if you are sef, if I pay my housekeeper $300 a month, why can I not pay way above market price to better the lives of poor people #howmuchismoney

This is a direct call out to those painters that engineered the Tesla. Jealous people are confused, they don’t know that one person can be an auto engineer, builder, plumber, bricklayer, painter, borehole driller, roofing merchant, inverter specialist, welder, etc, etc. Don’t be afraid to send your bids, my current home in Silicon Valley was painted by a NASA engineer and I have an appreciation for jacks of all trades.

Talking of NASA reminded me of what my old NASA professor of advanced quantum rocket science said. He pulled me aside and said “Nne, dis life na once! Na who quiet lose! Never stop talking, there is always a mugu out there, they are all you need in your quest for self validation. Embrace your imagination, reality is nothing.”

I have never made upfront payments to any of my suppliers since 2013.

I do POD on major transactions. I only part away with some cash to take care of logistics in exceptional cases.

In the attached, I had to send 200k to my supplier to help me deliver 60 tonnes granite to a project I’m working on in Oshodi when I heard about the recent price increase.

__________

For service providers, we can only work together if you agree to work on my site. I don’t mind the extra cost of providing tools and equipment required to make your work good.

I’ve heard stories taya. So I’m wiser now.

@rotecch77,
I think it would be nice if we can have a kind of escrow service here. It has been discussed before.
If the owner of the forum can key into this, they can make money also and give more credibility to the forum.
I suggest contractors and vendors having a certain minimum deposit with the handlers of the forum depending on the sector of building materials and services.
We know paint supply ranges from as low as N200k to 2m depending on the type and volume and a security in that range for such sector. Average cost for sanitary wares, tiles and other building materials can be determined and deposited as security to the owner of the forum or a very reliable escrow service provider same way banks have a certain fixed deposit with central bank.
Clients can get clearance for any transaction with the vendor after confirming they have active account and amount with them and they get a certain percentage on every successful transaction or repay the client from the deposit if they default.
Since supplies or contract could be done in stages, big service providers could have a much reduced deposit relative to the cost of complete project and clients would be getting clearance in stages.
It's not difficult to implement but getting a central account that everyone trusts.

The power of positivity.

All evidence prove that our thoughts (positive or negative) have psychological and physical effects on our body.

When everyone chose negativity yesterday, I chose not to go with popular opinion

Look at the result. I was able to thank my own supplier 7 after our transaction. She’s being asked to thank and reward her supplier in less than 24 hours.
