You're equating good pay to good job! It's not always like that, atleast in my own project. I have paid premium as labour and i got a very poor job, and sometimes i believe i pay a little below standard/basic and i got a decent job... You see at a time in my project, i just dont expect much from you guys anymore, after every deliverables, i just quickly want to MOVE ON!!! I will be doing my tiles in a couple of weeks and am looking within 400-500 N/mtr.. I will never pay above that, even if na you fix aso rock tiles.. The reason is simple, it does not guarantee a good job... I have said it on this platform before, artisans dont get punish for a bad job and they KNOW that.. For example, if i pay you 1500 for a tiling job and you do a bad job, what happen? Will i get a refund? Not likely! What we get is oga no vex sir, and thats all. You cant arrest someone that did a bad tiling job, he has not stolen it.. You can only delete his contact and how does that compensate for his bad job!
GOOD JOB >>>LUCK

Very true but....

That's why adequate supervision is necessary sir

sir I agreed with your point but in my field where you gave me pop on contract basis you give me your design and I fix it, you will have problem with me cos I need to give you what u want, I mistakenly fix a wrong pop for some one some years back and I sent him the picture the man was so angry, I had to cut it down and start afresh. Some time it takes ur worker to have the fear of God to do a good job some workers are heartless and wicked
Hahaha fear of God from Naija artisan? Many of us are watching when some of the guys what premium pay for good finish. Thank God some one among us as paid still get low quality finishing. Another person pay what many consider low pay and get premium finishing. Comparing locals with international is just comparing apple with orange. Please don’t get me wrong. I think many of our locals want to know how much these guys paying as taxes, insurance, license many other certifications, before they can’t even operate. Those things are not joke here. If one violates the laws they will lose their license and go to jail. it’s not a joke, again these guys do not inflates materials, they do not use inferior materials, they keep by the books that is why many of them charge does premium to give premium finishing.

Even common fence construction, after the work is done, HOA would still come to check if it was done with right materials, specifications and whether it conforms with other neighbor’s. Any thing short of that is violation.
It’s a system that does not allow for mediocrity.

Stop the aggressive adverts. Don't derail this thread.
not an aggressive one, but am just been sincere, some clients are just annoying, imagine a client telling you to come for immediate work. She agreed with the price and ask me to come to edo she is much ready getting there without asking her a dime she said am a scam. The only reason she gave is that I didn’t call her before coming in the morning after we agreed in the night. And she told me if she is not ready she won’t contact me infact I remember she told me to bring tools and my workers so we start immediately. Getting there I called her and she blocked my line only God know how I survive that scene

MrOkenwa:
I need some advice regarding borehole. Site is in Obada, Abeokuta
I did 2 geo-surveys and they both pointed to same thing, similar spots.
I contacted 2 drillers. One is charging me about 1.9m for the total package and the other one is asking that I pay him as things unfold. drill, installation, procurement and I'll later pay for his service charge (he hinted that around 1.5m will sort everything). I have done borehole in my previous project but this seem to be an entirely different experience.
They both said that they're going to be using the Indian drilling machine.
Kindly offer your advice. I want to get it right this time. I already wasted 600k on a deep well, with the pumping machine now stolen.

@KolaShangOne mentioned me, would ve commented on this but i normally don't check-in here as often again.

If it's the Obada along Lagos Expressway, possibility of a successful drill using Indian machine is 30% simply because of the thick overburden layer before basement rock.

The charges they gave you is fair considering the cost of materials for a good job.

That's why adequate supervision is necessary sir

If an independent contractor presents themselves as an expert, they should not need supervision. If the client could do it himself/herself, they would not have hired him in the first place. How can you pay a professional and still be expected to supervise him?

If a trades person needs supervision, they shouldn’t be out there taking work that they are not competent to do. Instead, they should be working under a supervisor aka Oga.

Borehole in Obada oko is terrible I have ongoing project inside federal housing after spending 1.650m still no water.

I will advise you to prepare written agreement with the driller then strategize your mode of payment. To avoid issues and to be on safe side. Wish you safe!
