Gentlesoul83, thank you so much for a job well done. My transaction with you is worth mentioning here. This is to let other potential customers know that business vendors like yourself are still abound on nairaland. Quality product, timekeeping, good customer service, and willingness to deliver to the site before payment are some of the qualities I noticed in you. Thank you once again, and keep up the good work.

The same cannot be said of a particular interior designer on here who collected money from me and gave excuses upon excuses without rendering the services he was paid for. I am going to keep his name anonymous for now due to the claim he made that he lost his job.

I am giving him a few more days or weeks to pay up; otherwise, I am going to teach him lessons he will never forget in a hurry. I’m sure people will be eager to know this person’s name, but I want to believe he is telling the truth about the loss of his job, and I wouldn’t want to contribute to his trouble at this time, so let’s give him some time to pay up.
I don't understand how loss of one's job can prevent someone from rendering services already PAID for...

Only thing I can think of really, is that he used client's money to pay his house rent, children's school fees or other personal issues. And if that's the case, then it shows just how unprofessional some of our artisans can be. A client's money should never be used for anything other than what the client paid for. In fact, every business man should always keep their business account separate from personal account.

If a business man needs money urgently to settle personal issues, he should go and borrow or source for the money elsewhere, but should never tamper with client's funds. That is the fastest way to lose the trust of a client and also all potential referrals from the client.

Don't make any sense to me as well, does it mean he spend the client money for something else before losing his job shocked

NB: this is a quote for normal mason flooring and not stamped concrete quality flooring, you are going to use more if it is stamped concrete

Majority of those guys are too indisciplined to follow this worthy advice.

One recently used the money i paid him for a concrete flooring job to do child dedication, and couldn't raise any more money to pay his workers. A job i paid for in August just managed to finish this last saturday, lasting a whopping 4 months

No boss
Pls, what's the downside of solar borehole pumps when compared to the normal electric pumps? Why do people take the stress of putting electric pumps when they know they'll have to spend money operating it? Or are the solar pumps not as durable?

About 175 bags of cement.
Granite = about 60 - 70 tonnes
Sand = about 30 tonnes

Can you imagine? Child dedication that is not even a necessity.

Hello house,
Please can a 9 by 11 be considered a standard room size especially in Abuja?

Secondly, is it advisable to use 6" blocks for the inner walls of a storey building 4units semi-detached blocks of flats to maximize space or I should use the 9" ?

Thanking y'all for what you doing
.

9 by 11 won't fly in Abuja.

Also, u can only use 6 inches on the upper floor but use 9 inches on ground floor if it's hollow blocks.

If u must use 6 inches on ground floor... Then use Solid blocks and no problem.

Goodluck

Edit: you can use 6 inches hollow block if it's a framed structure... No problem.

9/11 u dey condemn like this x let the tenant go & build his own house. All my rooms na 3m / 3m if e small go & build ur own house.
I will not build so you go forget to go build ur own. I don’t build for married people with kids. Best investment is hostels / guesthouses / self cons / just boy & girl stay






This statement above from the same person that typed the below.


I have worked as a project manager for 6 years now. I know all their games. Just pretend to be a site manager u will see all the games. The poverty mentality messed their sense of reasoning up. That is why they hardly achieve anything good in life. Talking about the bad ones


All I can say is Waoh.

The primary reason for a building is COMFORT, FUNCTIONALITY before anything else.

And you're a project manager with 6 years experience... But only concerned about profit?

Yet you condemn Artisans that are also only about profit?

Goodluck and no disrespect.... I'm just bothered about the type of house you design....

Don't be angry if my words are a bit hard... I had to SayDFact.

I believe what he means is.
There's a concrete space for tank already built on the roof... But they want to extend the height for more pressure... So they'll build the steel work and place it on the concrete slab.

The price is fair enough, is like the technician did not make provision for water heater in all the bathrooms.

Also, how many AC's did he allowed for in each apartment cos the no of 4mm looks small compare to the number AC that suppose to be in a standard 2-bedroom flat. Normally 3nos. of AC to be in a standard 2-bedroom and the 4mm suppose to be for AC and cooker control unit.

Thanks

is this energy compliant? because I prefer central heating unit (120 Liters calorifier) with piping connections for hot water to all bathrooms and kitchen (All installed with mixers) instead of having individual heater in each bathrooms like what is common in lot of Nigerian homes.

My brother stop wasting land. If you re building for commercial purpose maximize the use of land. My commercial project room size is 3m by 3m if you don’t like it go & building ur 12 by 12 room size. Whether I v been on it for 1 month or 9 months no be ur headache. I’m sure u be Ibadan man. Tenants no be landlord yet but they will someday. Ire o

imagine this kind of mentality, and these are the same ones of a kind on property section trying to implement their morals on others. It’s a gradual process, just as sanwolu had the guts to do what’s right by demolishing illegal structures so also God will give us another leader that will demolish structures not up to standard sizes. Amen. And you useless fool I wonder if you even have a house because with this mentality you won’t know what a million naira looks like.
