Different people are viewing posts with various reasons.
I tell client to give specific address, not vague description like near one tree or when you get to so place call. One should be able to go there any time earlier to observe the area before the appointment.
I tell painters I send for inspection to call me when they get there and when they leave. Even this isn't foolproof against kidnappers for ransom but having known address and phone number by a third person would help monitor movement and assist tracking.
All in all, we pray for God's protection always.

He probably would do as he promised. That brand of paint belongs to the budget grade ideal for internal use where durability is concerned.
Painters outsource to people who mix, it's no new thing. Although it may be manually done or with mixer and they may miss up on specific additives with certain functions but with sufficient binder, it would stay on.
I would suggest you do quality as good as eagle, president or berger paint for durability.
Once painter supplies and do the application, he is the jury and the judge. He can apply it in four coats if they didn't mix quality product for him but because he can't complain to the client and the quantity can't be foolproof verified. I've mentioned some of the tricks painters use here.
But if he is trustworthy, you should tell him to compare in higher grades for external use.
I'm always available also for good quality paints at very good price.
A lot of us that were founding members of this forum, have used your Paints on our Houses and can testify to its quality.
So, we have recommended it to others, our Painters have also gone ahead to recommend it to New Clients, based on their experience.
I know you dont want to sound as 'beating your own drum', which is okay.
But what is good, we beat up very loudly and what is bad, we beat to the ground, as quickly as possible.

sorry for all u went through however i blame you 100%. The gaslighters association of property section has made some of you here to believe that only scammers ask for advance payment before work right? Anything that has to do with construction the client must pay first, a good amount not just 50k or are you that desperate to spend your money to work for another person. You have the skills and expertise that is enough for you. If the client is too broke or doesn’t trust you then let him go. Stop sourcing for clients in broke places like nairaland and facebook get into platforms where you will meet rich clients who are at the top of their game bro. Any skills is enough to make you a millionaire if you know how to monitize it properly. Oloshos are charging 500k to 2m per night for doing nothing then you with a hardcore skill is letting one gaslighter tell you he can’t trust you? Haaa bro you really goofed up man but thank God you are alive to give the testimony.
The days of rich clients on nairaland was when there was no TikTok and instagram but today bro up your game. I ve worked for a certain love-vendor close to an A list artist, bro made his upfront payment to my kuda account and it got locked, funds choke. No dey run things with brokies, ask for update if you dont have it instead of seeing benz drivers and calling them ritualists. You wan suffer die?
This issue of advance payment, as you explained above, can go both ways.
Some will argue, if you are sure about your work, you will be willing to invest your money in it, Upfront.
That also gives the job owner some level of confidence, that you are genuine.
It also tell the Client that you wont just collect "Advance", start misbehaving and eventually elope with his Deposit.

I for one, will never send any advance Payment to any solo Supplier/Artisan l have never met in the past or in person (exception being well established and regulated Concerns, e.g Amazon, that l can seek redress against, if things go Southwards).

There are also Tons of Suppliers/Artisans who are eager to do the job another person is still forming "indispensable" over.

The issue of Security of an Artisan/Supplier, has nothing to do with whether you collect some Advance payment or not.
It is completely separate.
There are ways you can mitigate the danger associated with your Safety, as a travelling service provider, without using Advance Deposit as a barrier to your getting the Job.
For example,
- Having well-defined address of where you are going before hand, so you can scout it out before hand
- Let the 'Client' give you his verifiable (Called identifiable) Phone Number.
- Asking where the Client got your details (in a friendly manner) or if it was a Referral from somewhere.
- Not going alone. if possible, you go with someone who then stays out of the picture initially, until you are certain you are dealing with genuine people, before he shows up ... or reports to the Police, if he thinks you are in danger!).
- Reporting your presence at the nearest Police Station to the Site of the Client, explaining to them your mission and who invited you and letting them know you are doing it for "safety Concerns", because you are a stranger in the environment (hopefully, Eke will not be part of the the Picture you are trying to protect yourself from, as in some circumstances that have happened!).

BTW; We are talking about a serious "tangible Service" Providers, you are using Olosho as an example? shocked shocked
Even then, do you not read or listen to the News, about how these Oloshos get murdered in such trade of theirs? Abeegi.

How much will complete a decent 4 bedroom bungalow in Nigeria of today if the land has been acquired already?
It depends on how far you want to go with quality and your taste for finishes.
Btw 30-40m should give you something cool.
Make sure your architect is not too generous with space allocation.

Did this for a client last year at Ikoyi, almost ₦15m.
Both architecture and construction.

Changing room with Toilet and bathroom.
Flat roofing system made of concrete slab and finished with Bituminous Felt.

Finishes and quality of work are the major determinant.
Less can finish a building construction.
More can finish a building construction.

If you don't mind my unsolicited advice, it's the most durable external paint (plaster).
It's costly compared to other paints due to the thickness and low spread (7sqm) per drum.
