Very interesting thread. Brabus, you get many enemies. People are failing to tell you the truth. Your issues with maverick is 'private' and you people can settle it privately. No point clogging the bandwith with that.

What is however of concern to me is your competence and professionalism! With the various mistakes you have made in building you need to change your approach. You are not a BUILDER neither are you are building professional. That I work in an hospital does not make me a medical doctor even if I can use all the medical jargons. You have admitted of being negligence. There is a 'price' for professional negligence and misconduct. Don't push your luck too far. Don't offer 'professional' advice that you are not competent or certified to give. Check out the small prints with regards to financial advice for example. You don't need to 'impersonate' a building professional in anyway. Come clear on your education, competence and experience. Passion is not the same as competency.

However, that you are not a building professional does not mean you cannot operate in the industry. It just mean that you need to have the required professionals to help you as you go ahead. You can employ or partner professionals to help or work with you. That is what people o. Get people who can COMPLEMENT them to work with them. People who can cover up for their weaknesses.

Packaging can open the door but professionalism and competence is what will sustain. You should not promise the impossible. You should be upfront with your client. Fighting with past, present or future customers is a mistake. Trying to prove 'right' with your customers will damage your brand. Being insensitive to the plight of your client is unbecoming. The issue with QC1 is the last straw. He was told to avoid you. He trusted you and you destroy that trust!

And please, separate your family from your business! How dare you bring your family (including innocent kids) into the dispute you have with your client? Where is corporate separateness?

You have a bright future. Don't destroy it before you even start off with pride and arrogance.

Good morning. @ wanaj0, thanks for the advice. Your points are well noted.

I've never offered an advice to anyone here that I am not competent to give. And neither have I imposed any of my advices on anyone.

The things I've done here:

1. I asked someone here Isn't it better to take a look at your roof design and ask your architect to redesign to avoid future maintenance issue? That's not professional advice. It's just a suggestion to avoid a known evil that the professional failed to address. Shocking the only fix after years of fighting and troubles was to redesign the same roof as I suggested.

2. I've asked here that help is needed to address a major issue with a foundation and suggested a fix at the groundwork stage with the hope that everything will be addressed when it is still manageable before imposing too many loads. Its so bad that we are now trying to address the same issue after putting to many energies and resources into the project.

3. Of recent, I have asked someone if he has considered the challenges of a particular terrain and how he planned to address them. That's not professional advice (it's not scientific or technical). It's just simple common sense and we can see the major hurdles been faced at pre-foundation stage.

4. So many more too numerous to recount.

99% of the people who had dealings with me post 2014 have never seen me before nor met any of my family. But the ones who have done are people who have been too close to the family. The ones who have stayed till midnight in my house. They are the ones who are saying all sorts. I don't bring my family into my business. They (my family) don't even come to H52 let alone visit clients.

The talk about packaging. I agreed that I put much energy into my presentations and the way I address issues. That's the same way I do it in the real world. This is because I've dealt with real professionals and I knew what they wanted.

The opportunity this platform has afforded us has been greatly abused. If I'm open enough to build live on a forum like this, I believe I'm trying to pass information across to everyone that I'm open to criticism and professional advices and not just the negative energies which is a common thing in this part of the world.

Again, thank you for your advices. As part of the first fix, I've been busy working on myself (separate Brabus from the real business) and will surely stage one of the biggest comeback.

Now, I'm back to Boulders Class. Let the Pros teach us what we need to know.


God bless us all. Amen.

Most of those that are failing to tell him the truth do not like him, or are also his other monikers (Azuh etc). So best to just ignore that one, the chicken leg pillar was plagiarism (from another persons post here on NL). I think this has been pointed out before, so lets not waste time on him or any of the other monikers.

Bosun Shoyoye, does he still have a brand ? I wonder the answer to the question, it feels like its a war that he must win, and interesting that he keeps digging a hole for himself, lets see how deep. How many clients get time for such war ?

This is all I can put up for the narrow and odd shaped plot. I've finished drafting before I looked at your message requesting for a guest bed. That'll be a little bit hard though.

What I have here is as follow:

A small porch leads into the house can also serve as reception for guest that does not necessarily need to have access into the main house.

Then, there is an Open plan living room and a dog-legged staircase with a visitors toilet tucked under the stair landing. The 33sqm living space is fair enough for the building size.

The Kitchen is spacious enough to eliminate the need for a store or pantry (if you have a very good cabinet design) and also boast of about 3sqm terrace. A bonus space.

On the upper floor, you move straight into the family living space with a Juliet balcony (in times when you want to have a feel of the outside world without having the real space to play with, Juliet balcony comes to mind).

There are 3 bedrooms (ensuite) on the first floor.

The overall footprint sits on less than 75sqm.

That's all I can do for now. There are many more design ideas.

Don't mind the sketch design. I just had to quickly put something on paper for you.

Oh! I love this very well. Thank u Brabus

You'll need a professional touch on the drawing to do the dimensions and introduce the necessary structural and architectural elements. You also need a good modeller to put life (floor-to-ceiling Windows in the lounge, architectural pillars, quoins and cornices) into it.

You should be able to pull this off with N13.5m or thereabout (Basic finishing) if you're not picking Quartz, marble tops, chrome finished balustrades and 3D floors.

Best regards.

Recently had 9 1 phase meters installed. the 9 forms cost 40k to be signed and installation 15k for all the meters. Each meter cost about 39k

danowena:

The 68k is official as you pay it to the bank. But I was told the contractors will not stamp ur form and send it for processing if u don't pay the 15-10k stamping fee. And if u prove stubborn, u may wait indefinitely for ur Meter.
I am not surprised about their installation fee at all.
Ikeja gives the Meter for free. I challenged eko on this when I went to their head office. They said whatever we pay is removed gradually from our bill. undecided

@whizbrain....you better be very very careful otherwise you wlll get your fingers badly burnt. I am still battling with brabus issues after paying him a total of almost 20m as at December last year and my house is still yet to be roofed. One story after another. I saw the signs on the wall but i am someone who also believed in giving people second chances. Don't make the worst mistake of your life so far. Now, I am just trying to find a way out of the virus called Bosun Shoyoye a.k.a Brabus. That guy will kill your dreams.

How can someone sharing his experiences with a builder who gives "advice" on this forum be too much to handle?
This thread devolved into the gutter because people kept advocating sweeping the issue under the rug, and deflecting the clear INCOMPETENCE and DISHONESTY of the fraudster builder..

More information is always good. I am not advocating mud-slinging. I just want people to have more information about who they are recieving building "services" and "advice" about.
