I see only a few broken ones so it "appears" okay to me.

I know what you're probably thinking, but my friend we will never get those here in Nigeria. Our guys don't believe in quality.

danowena:

Oga,

Actually you can but at a higher price. Price difference could be more than N80 per block.

EgunMogaji:


Oh please stop it

We've even been shown the one manufactured by "Big Boys" whatever that crap means, and it's the same shyte.

danowena:

Ok o

allCopacetic:

thank you sirs, I'm very flattered.
lol I'm definitely not a god of any kind.

babalose:
@3strike. ....was there any complain about the quality of wood used for the initial roofing by brabus?



Babalose

babalose:
@3strike.....you are giving a vague answer. If I knew I won't ask. He was arguing about the type of roofing sheet so I wanted to know about the wood used for the roofing.

EgunMogaji:


Abi una dey do borehole too my oga?

I must drag you to my site to do at least a project.

I want to frame a receipt that says padlock chicken coop on it

KolaShangOne:
Oga @brabus I remember you posting your ground floor plan some time back. I will like to ask what your total built up area is, and how much you spend including finishes for the Chateau

n3xt:


The total footprint is around 360sqm (excluding the upper floor). Carcass is dirt cheap (cheaper than you can ever imagine). Finishes, I stopped keeping records of expenditures from the Roofing stage. Everything during finishes is as the spirit-led (the best I could afford) and at my convenience.

To give an idea of the overall spend, the figure is within the range of 70% of the amount you'll spend on most duplexes in the same class.

Happykay:


Kudos
I'm sure the white truck was more than helpful
Moving stolen materials from clients site at night tirelessly
You are damn lucky

KolaShangOne:
Was just internet-jay-walking and came across this..

I don't need to say anything but..

That car weighs about 1.6 tons of iron (you know German cars)

And if the blocks fail, it could lead to death.

Would you try this with Nigerian blocks?

I bet it's not the same price with our blocks though

KolaShangOne:


Lol. No we don't. I can't stand the disappointment of going 80m and not getting water. Seismic data isn't 100% reliable (I stand corrected).
Had a friend who majored in Reservoir Engr and I also can read seismic data. You think you have found oil (in this case- water) and after spending billions drilling, you have to abandon well because "shale oil" or "not in commercial quantity "


Besides, curses from hurt house owners are real.

I am sick and tired of this CHATEAU thing over the years. Where you the first guy to build a house on the Island. For how long will you be displaying your stupid trial and error building style claiming to be a research in innovation. Please when you want to do this, use your money and open your research lab and experiment your trial and error there. Take your research product to channels TV and pay advertisement fee, so that you can get more victims. We have seen other people build over 25 houses in the last 2 years, without any issue with the professionalism and money management skills they display in actualizing these projects. When on the earth it's only one guy in the pool of others that always have issues in the last five years with majority of his clients and still trying to justify that it's the customer that is always wrong. Most of us here are professionals in different fields of our professions, if we are not builders it does not mean that we are stupid in terms of way we managing our resources. For those that lost millions in the thought of giving someone second chance, in my opinion I believe it's not a bad thing to do. But this guy has proven beyond reasonable doubt, that is his way of life. Whoever bought into it should have himself to blame and please all parties involved should stop derailing this innovative and ideologist informative platform. Don't mean to attack anyone but just, to share my view on this matter that has been revolving for over three years.

bugmenot:




Some people should cover their faces in shame. It's amazing how they think they can blurr their (leopard) spots by preaching harder. Anyone who invests an hour researching builders on nairaland will have himself/herself to blame if they fall into the hands of the wrong person.

3strikes:
May we not be stuck in the past that we start to dwell on past glory....

I even think say na only me tire of seeing the chateau's pictures..

Its a matter of time folks....Karma is a b!tch!
