redgem:One here told my people that they should pay him #25k to come down to East to measure my roof before he can give quotations. I Kuku respected myself and told them to look for people that are around. |

redgem: Let me get this straight. Formula for calculating square meters: length x width = m2 Your artisan said: m2 x height = m3? where m = meters |

redgem: Do you really want to ask someone to give up his secret sauce? In this job, there are fathers, husbands, young men, students, etc. There is no standard charge for screeding. Some charge based on the name and reputation they have built over the years. Others charge because of the enormity of responsiblity they carry. Others charge because they would rather do something legit than beg or steal. Others want to make it big before tomorrow. Because the motivations are so different, the pricing you get will vary considerably. If you need someone that travels anywhere and everywhere and does not charge exhorbitantly. I can recommend someone. He is an undergraduate with a drive to better his lot in life. I like his work ethic. He finds time between his classes to travel all over Nigeria to do screeding so he can self-sponsor his education. This is assuming that you found it difficult to arrive at a compromise with Bolu.1986 whose work I love and highly recommend. Maybe I will start with your approval by passing on these parameters so we can get his costing for the above. 1 Like |

FEGEITOK:She is talking about a wall. If the wall was layered on the floor it would be L x B . But walls are always erect So it’s natural for it to be L X H in square meter |

sonnie10: No contest. This sentence taking it literally is the issue: they multiply the total sqm of the building with the height of the building it is either L x B or L x H. The bolded sounds like L x B x H Unless Madam erred in her presentation. Which is unlikely because her complaint was: why is it more than the total sqm of the building This implies that she has the square meters and the her calculations do not rhyme with the calculations of the screeding artisan |

sonnie10: I lost my engine in Edo State. After several days of trial and error, I had to waybill the top of the engine and pay for my technician to travel to Edo State and fix the car. Sometimes, there is no way around bringing an artisan that you trust and know can deliver to wherever you need him to work for you. After it was fixed, we traveled together back to Abuja. 3 Likes |

twinskenny:Don't mind them if you can't pay for tfare just hold your job i don't av strength to argue look for someone around to handle your roofing. I can recall a client contacted for roofing measurement at calabar i charged him 35k for tfare if you patronize me the money will be refund back.. he agreed.. My installer visited d site take the measurement we summit quote.. he agreed to patronize me He send his rep. And brother to lagos both of them divert the job and purchase the materials elsewhere Who loose 35k? Him We moove Even within lagos you will send tfare before we can visit ur site for measurement Reason why i don't believe on field marketing If you didn't believe on trust want you read about my company online Abeg hold your job This life No hard 9 Likes |

FEGEITOK: thank you sir for the mention is not even about revealing trade secrete.. a lot of artisian out there dont do their work with passion! i am presently working in the east, and some clients are taking the advantage of that to commit us to their smaller projects. if you dont trust an artisan in the first place i think you shouldnt engage them.. rather look for someone you are comfortable with.. the truth is getting a good artisan around benin up the way down to the eastern side is a bit difficult. 1 Like |

FEGEITOK:Somebody else came from Warri at no cost and got the job. That was almost #8M. Another sent someone from Nnewi and said he gave the person #5k for transportation, but he did not get the job because he didn’t have Tilcor which was my choice as compared to other roofing sheets. It is the cost of doing business. However my issue with this particular member here was the arrogance from demanding this transportation fee payment up front like it was an entitlement. 2 Likes |

money121:I, personally have bought things worth more than #10M from members in these forum. People I have never met. Last 2 weeks, a member here supplied my cables worth millions, never seen him in person. A member this week supplied some of my doors, over #4M. I don’t even know him and he doesn’t know me. So I don’t know who you are referring to. I can name them. I don’t know your business operating procedures and I don’t care to know. I never referenced you in my previous post but it seems your conscience is pricked. At low cost? Do I sound like someone looking for cheap? Do you sell Tilcor or any of the first generation quality stone coated sheets? No. You don’t. You only sell the affordable type. So our paths would never cross. Please take a chill. 8 Likes |
