I have read alots about him on this thread but I decided to give a trial which for now he has performed up to my expectations. I will surely give feedbacks for every delivery from him. Stay tuned

One4me:


He used to do very well before he went Rogue! Some years back (up to around 2014) he was the numero uno of Granite and Stone Dust supply on this thread.
He supplied me five 30Tons and four 20tons granite (and lots of Stone Dust) some years back and they were okay, except the last one when he started telling me stories.

I want to think and hope that he is begining to realise the importance of keeping it honest and simple.
I wish him well

Not strictly true. The calculation is based on the depth of the borehole versus how tall the water stand. Distance that the water needs to travel. Some borehole still use surface.

Speak with your installer.

topsy23:


Ate you pumping directly from borehole to overhead water tank? If yes you need a submersible pump. But if you are pumping from ground tank or reservoir to overhead water tank you need a surface pump.

Thanks

I still did two Plots for 180K at Ikorodu, in 2017 and it was done with Red Copy which l later used another Person to confirm.

Lagos proper was 100K per plot and all of a sudden they jerked it up to 400K, after a meeting!
I am certain that Surveyors (in general) are getting less job today, that they get five years ago because a lot of poor people are just refusing to do Survey (not a good thing though), because they cant afford it.
How can you tell someone who wants to start building a room and parlour to house his family with Monthly salary (even the land itself is pay-instalmentally), to come and pay 400K just to map it out? shocked shocked
Such people will rather build first and 'hope for the best', than bother with Survey.


The action of the SCOAN is contributing to illegal structures and uncordinated development, across board, in my own opinion.
Prices should not just be fixed arbitrarily, without taking the earning Power of the customers into consideration.

Anyway, EXTORTION has become a way of life in Nigeria, not just Surveyors, just go to the market and see how prices double everyday, because the seller decides to just double the price, nothing more. undecided

Dont take Criticisms the wrong way! I am not mean to you, It is a reminder that "Nothing is forgotten and Nothing should be taken for granted".
Do you remember one time when you analysed in your Post, the different types of SCAMS that Granite Suppliers use to use in cheating Customers (Yoodi, Ashawo, etc) ?
That is how far you went to built trust in your Customers.

I also understand that there are things, events that we cant control and l am sure Customers also know that afterall, we are all humanbeings.
What the CUSTOMER expects and demand is FULL TRANSPARENCY AND HONESTY, dont forget some of them are also working on Budget and tight TIME SCHEDULE so disappointments here and there also affects them.
If Supplier fails and there is no material on ground, as of when House Owner promised a builder to come and work, (Builder has also brought daily workers), all because the Supplier disappointed, the House Owner still have to pay those Workers even though they could not work since you are in-charge of Material Supply. undecided

If we hear of any stories that a member here tries to cheat you, l am sure we will intervene, as we have done on the cases of so many people, your own cant be different. We protect ourselves here, Clients and Contractors.

My suggestion is that you communicate to your Customers, as early as possible, in a honest and transparent manner.
I like you as a person and l have gained from your knowledge in the past, that is why l am saying all these to you, because l want you to go back to the Old Chekitaut that we all trust and recommend. You can do it.
Injections of Medicine can be painful initially but it is designed to heal and bring good health afterwards.
I wish you more grease to your elbow, l wish you more success and growth. I wish that you are not just 'standing', l wish you to be 'running at full speed' by now.
I know you have the capacity to do well if you chose to and l pray you will chose to.

God-willing next year, l should be able to start another project around Chevron in Lagos and l will give you a trial again, to see if these disucssion has made any impact and will be reading the reviews of others about your services, as well.
No bad feelings Bro, One Love

I felt tears inside of me when reading, its God grace all through. I understand & know my short-coming, i have done all businesses dynamics to be able to satisfy client(s), but something remain unchanged which is Time, I have read lots on how to manage time but something is still missing, All the people i run this business with are more of illiterate, seems not to understand time but money. Various challenges in field of work even as it involves transportation.

From truck owners to Drivers, the only time its can be sweet is when its their personal jobs. If am booked they careless when their job comes in after i
must hv paid for like 3day upfront, they don't understand bridge of contract, thats first disappointment.

Condition of the truck is highly important to truck owner & to me aswell, attending to repair of truck is another disappointment. Second disappointment

Driver's condition aswell, If a driver tells you or the truck owner he want to sleep, you don't dare him to force him drive. Third disappointment

Every driver is scared of Police, Road Safety Officer, VIO only the driver that really know the strength of his truck owner is confident to approach any of law enforcement agent, Lagos LASMA worsen the whole matter, more weight on commercial vehicles, this affect confident of drivers. Forth disappointment.

Also traffic on high way and many more.

But this is not a regular occurance, when one of these aforementioned disappointment comes up, it will definitely affects orders. Putting into consideration the years or the life span of the truck moving the consignment. All still narrowed down to TIME.


To all Builder's or Homeowner's, Don't be in a hurry to mobilise artisan to site when materials is not available on site...

@One4me thank you, i have never taking criticism as the wrong way. I see it as a reflection to correct wherever is required. @Thenext thanks for the recommendation & review. 90tons Granite from us will complete your project.
