I do but you don't want to give a job to a man who's lazy. Honestly, I don't want to give my money to a man who can't do a job better than me.

It must be felt, not only seen.

Sure! We thank God for safe landing. Abi na safe delivery?
I dey always pray for project like this. The clients are very good and supportive all through. We weren't under any pressure and we are given free hand to do our job.

Abi una never come across such situation?
Not so many clients would allow you to do that. Many of the clients are OVERSABI! Jide used half bag of cement to build his house, why are you using 1 bag?

Yes I have come across such many timesgrin
You cant believe the drama last year, a client was supposed to pay into my account for the start of a project, he called me in the morning and told me he was waiting in the market for us to buy the items we planned I will buy. I played along despite the sudden change of plans. In the end he spent 30% above budget on the foundation stage, he regretted it and wanted to pay in the rest of the money but I told him not to, as I was moving to Ebonyi.
I try to dodge a lot of jobs these days to stay cool. But some clients are also very nice, my client in Ebonyi is a perfect gentleman, plus the Oga we are doing his work now.

In terms of Carcass, what does that include?
Does it include plastering, tiling, plumbing, electrical fittings, painting, toilet-wares, cabinets/kitchen appliances, pop ceiling, compound floor?

First of all, when you say 17m, let them know its for the twin duplex...hope am right....

Meanwhile, what do you know about vaulted wood ceilings, extent of use in Nigeria, its suitability for this clime, the attendant cost if one decides to go for it and available expertise to handle it....I know I've seen it in some churches and homes in the countryside...some not vaulted though but just plain wood.

Vaulted wood ceiling is what we installed on the unit beside the current project. I'm not on site at the moment, I'd have shown your pics. We have experts handling the installation.

It's more expensive. What we did was just on the external part of the building (terraces and porch). POP ceiling was used in the internal parts.

Can you put some hypothetical figures to it, say PVC is x then POP is 1.5x and Vaulted Wood is 10x...like that for the same sqmetres area...?

Not everybody wants to live in the same house, so i'm simply offering my clients a choice. I believe in designing and building homes with character, which is a hallmark of modern designs.

Thanks for your support at all times. You inspired us to do more.

The 2nd pisho is a work in progress at Chateau de Brabus. It's actually an imitation of the 1st pisho

The wrought iron works are also ongoing.

I sure will like to see the finished product...with all these talk about pvc long term effect on health, we may be going back to wood soon...or what do you think...I saw pop installation process at an hotel gym recently and I wasn't impressed, the particles from the work was all over the place and I'll bet top dollar that it would be dangerful for inhalation....
