No! It hasn't been roofed and beside we aren't competing here so there's nothing like overtake. We are just doing new things

Concrete Fascia Shuttering and Reinforcement Detailing


We have also completed all of the block work for the Chateau and we're adding many of the exterior features such as the protruding roof trim and also the detail around the main lounge windows and many other architectural details. We are also installing the conduit pipes for the upper floor and have begun to prepare internal and external edges ready for rendering.

Progress pictures are just a day away. Stay tuned!

Outdoor Living: Taking the Inside Out

This is a rather different type of project than you normally find me blogging about, but I am very excited to be a part of it. Creating an ‘outdoor living room’ for my client to extend the living space. I just conceptualize a new outdoor living room with a space to relax, entertain and dine and more importantly a burial space for my client's mum who's gone into glory.

Now, I'm creating outdoor areas that extends my clients daily living from the inside to the great outdoors and of course becomes an extension of the beautiful landscape for the Chateau.

Here's a private outdoor space for dining or enjoying a glass of wine after a stressful day. A place where my client can take an afternoon siesta or read the newest novel. A place where we can sit to discuss the next project and sign the contracts.

Below is the picture showing how the finished pergola will look. Just the way you see it here!

sandee575: Brabus can sell ice to Mr. Eskimo grin

grin grin grin You mean I can sell Lagbook to Mark Zuckerberg or AK47 to an Iranian. Of course, I can take beauty to the jungle. I've done it before and I'm still doing it and I'll pass it on to my boys. The secret is to have full faith in your status as master of the sale.

In the meantime, let me see if I can sell some sand to the Arabs as well grin grin grin. Good morning!

They (Naija carpenters/iron benders) didn't make the selection for this project. The bricklayer (Yoruba guy) remains the same guy who did the PH job

After another couple of days of hard work, the initial parapet work has begun. The parapet is primarily an architectural feature for aesthetic appeal.

Pic showing ongoing development at Sagamu, Ogun state. Less than 2km away from my Sagamu house. Never thought development is going to come too soon.

Oga Brabus.. what is this for again?. I thought you have dug two of those previously..
Or is that for that Outdoor Living Space under construction?

Update.. Now I get it.. Do you mean a real Grave site like in for dead? As narrated in your "Outdoor Living Space" above?
If so, Wow!

Life is all about choices

thosedays: Good Job oga Brabus. i like how you are handling things these days, keep it up.

People said I’ve changed so much. Well, here’s the honest truth: I grew up. I stopped letting people push me around all the time. I learned that you can’t always be happy. I accepted reality.

I remember visiting a site belonging to one of my client to check what was done for them and I saw how quantity rule over quality. How gullible people mislead in other to make living. How "Liberty Wire & Cable Nigeria" was used instead of "Nigeria Wire & Cable" for AC Wiring, Water Heater and all other heavy appliances.

Then I shook my head in despair and wondered why we can't look past quantity and embrace quality in everything we do. House don't just collapse, we make them with our choices!

Thats the reason Chateau De Brabus has always been my reference site to all client. I paid the price and I'm proud about it.

My new signature henceforth is "Quality and not Quantity rules here"
