Is it right that you are sourcing for outside Hands for this critical Part of the Job. Don't you think using your in house staff works best, so as to avoid issues arising again, after the dust had calmed down. You've done a nice Job till now, don't use people you don't trust for these Critical Stages.

Just an advise

Your points well noted. This approach has been tested and has worked for me in many of my projects (including Protea Hotel, Ikeja, multi floor Apartments Bourdillon and Milverton, Ikoyi and many other projects where professionals converge)
Successful bidders in this exercise will be walk through a new way of delivering projects.

Although, there are guys we will have soft spot for and some will just be selected based on merits and recommendation.

In 2016, one-size-won't-fit-all again. We will collaborate with different contractors as different projects dictates. Don't be surprised we might even ask you to recommend to us.

I am sure you are correct in your approach. Maybe I have a lot to learn from the way you Operate. I was only just thinking that Instead of sourcing from the Outside, Why not Build a team, with an Ideology on what the Goal is in another 5yrs to 10yrs time as to how you want things to be done. The Team Understanding and Size can then grow from that Initial Selection of Roots/Seeds and the understanding can make your group reach an unbelievable height, hence each team can then be in charge of selecting and training for their respective departments, as the company becomes bigger. to me Whats important is teamwork and Understanding (The reason I know Why Barcelona FC is a very successful Football Club).

But like i Said, i'm sure you approach works best than mine. Just felt I should throw in my own 2 Kobo.

once again Nice Jobs all around Boss .

It's good engaging one of my most admired
and respected designer cum builder in this type of discussion.

I love the points you highlighted. But like I said earlier, in 2016 One size won't fit all again.

Here are my reasons:

1. Fresh eyes means a different perspective
This eliminates the "We've always done it this way" "Na so we dey do am" mentality.

2. Cost Reduction
Salary is just a fraction of employment cost. The same way we don't have to double or triple as the Structural, Mechanical and Electrical engineer. I think it's fair to outsource specific jobs to expert while remaining as the main contractor/project manager in order to reduce overhead costs.

3. The niche, the job and it's requirement doesn't call for "Rehearsals"
At some point in life, we all wanted to build a one-stop coy that can provide everything a client wanted. But the truth must be told, is that ever possible? Diasporan Clients now require finishes with "Western Flair" Whose project do we use to build the team because every project is a tournament that must be won.

We are not completely outsourcing the most critical part of our project. There's difference between contracting and outsourcing. Once a while it ain't worth it to double as the skipper and the umpire. We also need to see the game from the spectators side.

Is Brabus/Nexthome the luckiest scammer on Nairaland Building Section?

I have observed the building/ property section from a distance and not made many comments. And the activities of Brabus /Nexthome have given me cause to worry. I think he is both the most skillfull marketer and disreputable builder on this forum at the same time.

My observations

1.He is not a professional builder.

Honestly, this is the weakest argument against Brabus. You don't have to be 'a professional', but you can be professional.
Brabus is not a building professional,but pretends to be one. He may be knowledgeable about how to put up a building (this does not preclude him from the industry but at least be professional to clients )

2.Poor/shoddy job quality,allegations of fraud and theft

Incorrect quantity or materials supplied,
Columns not aligning,cement bags in concrete mix, missing iron rods from site,using regular wood when marine was paid for ,counterfeit drawings, sub-contractors and suppliers not paid.... what the.... (na only you?)

3.All is good until money starts changing hands.
Excellent client relationship until money issues are concerned. Then the name calling and advice giving from a distance starts. I am yet to see a full spectrum of jobs done from start to finish for Nairalanders without complaint (i stand to be corrected on this. Pls really!)


4.Pasting photos like educational materials , meanwhile marketing himself(which is not bad)

Remember the ile-oluji projects. Pasting photos of work not done by him until the client came out screaming!

5.Photo Essays.
Each project is a photo opportunity to draw in the next client ,while not fulfilling full obligations.

6. Brabus is NEVER wrong
No matter what, never accept responsibility for actions on your project site. This is Brabus/nexthome's way. It is always the client that did something wrong. Calling clients who paid you money names, after they air greviances

7.Master of deflection
Changing topic in the middle of a thread, once serious allegations are made with new pictures or glossy future project and real estate seminars. And aligning with established builders to cover up

8.Cracking jokes after serious allegations are made about work done . This is after people have cried out their hearts and serious grievances on this forum

Clients beware

P.S. I am a professional architect who has never and would never work or had any interaction with Brabus/ Nexthome.

Maverick efforts to alert people of his work reputation should not be shut down.
Anybody on this forum who is swayed by his advertising should also be aware of his reputation beforehand. Several of his clients were aware of his reputation and still went into business with him. We should stop this " don't spoil his livelihood" argument. If people allege and show evidence of shoddy jobs and fraud from their livelihood why should they not sound the alarm to others.

The beautiful thing is people will see all this information about Brabus/ Nexthome and enter the trap. Why? Is it because he is the luckiest scammer on Nairaland Building Section?

Can you face me and do this? I'm available at Suite H52, Ikota Shopping Complex.

Until you do that, you're just another attention seeking troll. I don't feed trolls.

Put a face to your allegations. I'm not scared!

Brabus why again?
I have been following this story silently and could not help drawing the similarities with our project.
Same story. We paid 250K for drawings and what did we get? we got only architectural drawings? when we ask Brabus for mechanical and electrical drawings we were told that this was not part of the package. I then asked why we would pay 250k for just these drawings and Brabus responded that my sister took some of the money that we paid to him. I am sure you all know that story so wont dig that up.
We then asked for 3D which is supposed to be part of the package and was told No. Brabus then told us (my brother) that he can do it for 30k extra to which I totally disagreed with and we let it go.

I know my brother still contacts you (no qualm). He is not here so cannot feel the pain that we have been put through with alot of rework that was needed to get to where we are today.

You come on here and paste updates trying to reel the next mug in but you really need to be very careful. As someone alluded to in the previous post you really need to be careful that you don't pick a crazy mad client cause trust me they wont bother with NL.

This story with Maverick could have been handled well away from here but from what has been published he tried to settle this offline and you posted him like royal mail only to now send him the soft copy. Why did you have to wait till it got very ugly before you gave him what was duly his?

I know you have many victims here and alot of us have let it go but PLEASE be very careful. You really don't want to have a marker on your back.

Enough said.....
