Which lie.

They will be ready next week, end of story. You are not taking any 150 planks.

I don't care what the marine boards are being used for. The bottom line is that we casted 4 weeks ago, and I am still within my rights to hold on to it for a month which is still within this period, and as I keep saying If I wanted to be wicked, I would burn them so as to make sure you do not get anything since I paid for what I didn't get. As I repeated again, I would not do that..

My brother, I don't have any issues with you. And I'm not bothered about your opinion but what is mine is mine. I don't want to take it by force before you say they came to steal from your site. I really have the power to do that using every legal means at my disposal. The Brabus you knew has moved on.

Next week. I'll be waiting for your call. Thank you.

Here's the video of the flat covered and the pictures of what the boards removed have been used for?

Why the lie? The boards will be ready by next month when it has been used for another work. Hmm!

FastShipping:
That is not the way you should respond to accusation of this magnitude. He has a weighty accusations against you in public sphere and you asked him to go to police?

It's baseless cos we still spoke as at last week, two days ago and this morning. Nothing of such was raised. I was told the boards are intact and I should come and remove them on Friday only to visit and discovered all the boards have been removed and used for another work without my knowledge.

So what's the accusation?

mavverick:
Its ineffective, I don't believe in police. they were not there when you were collecting my money and were not a witness to it. I have my ways, that's all I will say,

I've moved on since a month ago. And I'm surprised you were still lying to me even as at this morning. Pls I'm not raised to be making noise online. I'm sorry.

Your chat though.

mavverick:
Guys

My NL account is now working. This is my experience from Brabus/Nexthome/Bosun.

@babaeko1, mavverick

Pls kindly go to the police or court to seek redress. My best advice in this kind of situation.

Slow and Steady!!!

Respect!

Cool! But this one na 'moin moin' not big deal
However, it required a good canpeter else u may regret it.
Well done

Nice one! My simple philosophy has been "It doesn't have to be overly expensive or complex to make meaning." Simple things cut it for me.

We've done helical spiral staircase many times but here's our first shot at helical elliptical stair.

And a self supporting one for that matter.

Helical Ellipse Staircase: A piece of art.

Most staircases do a great job of getting you from one storey to another within a home. Then there are those that are also stunning design centrepieces.

Our current project under construction will feature the sculptural potential of an helical ellipse staircase. In the end, we will have a sculptural elliptical grand staircase that not only provides function architecturally, but also acts independently as a sculptural art piece.

Watch this space.

Simplifying Complexities. Delivering Possibilities.

@semitunde, item 4 is poor man's method of prevent efflorescence and rising damp in areas which are not really prone to high water table. It works like magic!

Concerning questions raised about the septic tank, here's my answer.

1. It's not just a regular type of tank. HDPE Type. If you visit chemical industry like me, you can always get one to buy at good price.
2. The difference in cost is incomparable. The whole setup including excavation won't cost more than 80k with the plastic tank been the most expensive component of the setup. The cheapest and smallest septic tank will gulp nothing less than 150k.
3. Passive pressure concern. Hmm! Our location for the setup is carefully considered as it is non-load bearing construction. We placed the tank in soil with a bearing capacity greater than 100 kPa. Those who live in glass house don't throw stones. The area chosen for the setup is restricted to vehicular movement.
4. All outlets, inlets and the vent are prepared and sealed with silicone before burying the tank.
5. The tank is placed on a well compacted gravel and sand bed and the sorrounding backfill materials is equally washed gravel and sand free from organic materials and items that can puncture the tank.

Slaw12:
Oga Brabus u said 2m can build 3bedroom bungalow and u gave me a quote of 11.5m for 4 bedroom bugalow...hmm who is deceiving who here?

Oga slaw12, Na question you ask! Here's the answer and the cost shaving tips:

1. The project is personal project. There's no need for extra cost or fee of supervision or project management fee.
2. All labour charges for the project is Free of Charge (FOC). Boys must contribute to Oga's project and there's plenty of Eba to eat after each day's work.
3. Material prices (sharp sand - 4500, gravel - 12k, plaster - 4500, block - 90ngn, iron rods are offcuts bought from iron rod manufacturing company in Ogijo, Ogun state, roofing wood (fadala), 0.35mm gauge roofing Aluminium sheet and so many cost shaving methods were adopted.
4. No German Floor but block holes were filled with pure water satchet and blinded with cement and sand.
5. Using 6 inches block means less cement and sand usage.
6. Precast lintels instead of the traditional lintel construction
7. Sliding window without net. Net installed separately.
8. Used 12mm iron rods for the burglar proof window.
9. Panel doors from Ijebu Ode with frames
10. Tiles in the living room and normal Screeded floor in other rooms.
11. Buried 2000 liters GP tank for the septic tank and installed one well ring for the soakaway. All this less than 45k
12. Asbestos ceiling in all room except living room. Ceiling noggin at 2 x 4 on the exteriors and 4 x 4 in the interiors.
13. Used block construction for the kitchen cabinet with only the front covered up.
14. Used soil excavated from the septic tank and soakaway for Sandfilling the building.
15. And so many other cost saving methods were explored.

Oga slaw12, anything is possible if you really want to achieve it. No deception. If you go the same route, you'll see that you can drive down your cost by 40-45%

adeekiti:
It will be just same as what's on the pic, my price range can follow later,, how many ft is the height sir

I think you should talk about the materials first. That's why I fall in love with the Chinese fabrications (the frame width, accessories and assembly). It's totally different from the traditional frames available in the market. That's not to say it's the best.

EBM is super! What materials are you using for this? Or let's say what will you recommend for this?

I'm a contemporary lover.

Following with keen interest. Working on a studio for a client.

A step out of the ordinary. Nice one OP

@HsLBroker,

Sorry to hear about your accident—wishing you a quick recovery. No one can keep a good man down!

All the best.

[size=14pt]Want to keep commenting here? Don't derail this thread.[/size]

@Adeekiti, @Aminat508 be guided

Here's are the standard. You can insult, advice and accuse or request for related information. But those things must be a response to what somebody actually said, not what you wish they would have said or unnecessary gists. Your gists don’t bug me on a personal level (though I can’t speak for others), but their ability to hinder progress and derail otherwise fruitful conversation does bug me.

Thank you!

semitunde:
Mehn, we almost ran mad with especially Zenith bank.

The funny thing is that banks actually love APGs. They get to charge interest like a loan ( amount involved is usually huge); and they get to pay for their staff ( handsomely off course) from the contract sum.


Ours was at a time after the soludo mergers and the banks were looking for money here and there to shore their accounts. They sank their teeth in ours. In one of the cases, the Lagos state commissioner for housing, after intervening, had to warn all contractors on the banks to use for the guarantees. Else everyone was on their own.

You can actually avoid the interests by delivering on schedule but govt projects though. The bureaucracy and bottlenecks is too much.

I always factor the interest and admin charges into my quotes. It's normal thing to do.

EgunMogaji:
Not yet but I definitely will.

Thanks for sharing that very valuable info.

Go through the website, you'll find all the necessary info about registration of builders and construction firms. You can also visit CAC website for more info.

Information is power.

EgunMogaji:
Excellent.

Did you go through NIOB and CORBON website sir? And were you able to get the necessary info you wanted?

EgunMogaji:
Quoting myself to continue..

I ran across this thread

https://www.nairaland.com/2519031/builder-needed-estate-project-ibadan

And it is talking about some sort of bank guaranty instrument, maybe that's the missing link for the scheme I am proposing to work in Nigeria.

Everything is here in Nigeria. Just that few knew about it but the bigger boys in the construction industry are well aware of Contractor's Insurance.

Advance Bank Guarantee (ABG) is common in big projects. Most of Lekki Garden contractors get this document from Diamond Bank, Zenith Bank, StanbicIBTC and other banks that support projects after satisfying the requirements for accessing such.

For residential projects, contractors with insurance can access the bond by presenting their Contract Award Letter, Building Plans and Quotation to the bank and upon approval pay a bond fee which will be calculated based on the fund accessed. However, this is not for every dick-and-harry but only for verified contractors. The bank building inspector will look into the estimates and confirm its not out of place.

bugmenot:


@Brabus
Are you a member of all or any of these organizations?

MrMcJay:
Kindly answer the above question directed to you.

Thanks.

PeoplesArmy:
@Brabus you were silent on allegation of going to remove materials from clients site and conniving with gateman. Can you confirm or deny this?

Sorry I can't provide answer to your questions. Does that help?

KolaShangOne:
What I meant is that.. The legal framework in Nigeria is very weak. It has become a means for the rich to cheat the poor. There is so much bureaucracy that you would have spent so much in Legal fees to even get a judgement.

And so on and so forth..

That the legal system is weak doesn't mean it should be abolished or ignored. We need to start doing business the right way without emotional attachments. No one can oppress you if you know your true value.

As a manager, we need to know how to separate emotion from a given business situation. Making decisions based on emotion or sentiment can lead to bad results. "Customer is always right" is just an expression that stores say to keep customers happy. Reacting to situations emotionally rather than reacting based on logic and facts can do lasting damage to business relationships.

Most contractors think that “the more customers the better”. But some customers are quite simply bad for business just as there are lot of terrible contractors. Get that right into your head.

@semitunde, I hope you're seeing the reasons why you should not hit the spotlight unprepared.

euromilion:
Summits in 9ja is all about yr money.All they care about is the registration fee,I've been to many of them.

Baba euro, give one example of the summit attended and the organisers. No pun intended.

EgunMogaji:
I beg stay put for Lagos go, no come Lagosify Ibadan for us

I specifically chose my area in Ibadan, Elebu, because it's about an hour from Ikeja (the airport which is the only thing that will force me to go to Lagos), Abeokuta, Ijebu Ode, the places I will spend time at without all the Lagos melee.

If United goes to Ibadan then I shall never set foot in Lagos ever again

Elebu, I have something around there. Just trying to tidy all loose ends here in Lagos before taking new projects. At the moment, "Ise ti po ju"

EgunMogaji:
Is there an association of builders? Do they give licensing to members?
