I second Egun's comment for the very first time. The builders mentioned above fall into the category of the "Good". we have the bad and the ugly. that's the category Brabus Nexthome belong o

The good builders are always busy on site so as to avoid the kind of mistakes the ugly builders argue all day about here...Good builders are also busy breaking new ground every week and they hardly have time to come online to give lectures with internet pictures just to score cheap points. They really don't come online to do packaging or argue with previous clients and potential clients.....Their work speaks for them. if na lie ask oga Spyder880, AbdulWastecx, Skimaski and Aventures.

I don't agree with the notion that demand and supply is the reason for high cost of properties in most part of Lagos. There are tens of thousand properties laying bare for months and years without anyone buying them. So where is the demand for these properties? Greed is the only reason why properties are being listed for unreasonable amount of money in Lagos.

Sometime last year, there was a thread where a guy listed a semi-detached home for 60M Naira without front or backyard and the guy listed 3M Naira or so as service charge. This particular house shouldn't cost more than 20 Million Naira to build. There are thousands of such properties in Lagos and Abuja sitting without anyone to buy them. The cost of properties in Lagos and Abuja are artificial. They don't reflect the true value of those properties.

There was another property posted by a lady at Abule Egba with asking price of 70M. Abule Egba for that matter o

The property was a two plots of land with an eyesore three bedroom bungalow on it. I took it upon myself to lambast the lady on that particular thread. I look at other posts of this lady and I found that she was begging for someone to help her fix her phone she bough for 8,000 Naira. In fact, the lady was saying in the thread that her daughter asked her to throw away the phone and buy another one but she can't afford to pay for a new phone.

The problem with our people is GREED and nothing else. Everyone is not ready to suffer again after the first deal. We all want to be super rich from our first deal. You don't need to go far. Take a look at the cost of numerous properties listed in nairaland property section.

Your mouth sweet die

I won't mind a small luxury duplex of around 120-140 sq mt as my next project. My spread-out bungalow is being defamed by the same people I'm trying to impress (kids). I never knew kids love 2-storey buildings. I don't care how small it is.

Holla at your boy if you see a piece of land that is not more than a plot and won't cost a fortune. Remember I once said here no land worth 2 Million Naira, whether Banana Island, Maitama, Ikoyi or V.I. If an acre of land cost between $7000- $40,000 in a good U.S suburb with all amenities available, I don't see why any piece of land should cost more than 2 Million naira anywhere in Lagos where there is a slum two miles away from so called luxury areas of the state.

This discussion is getting boring.

EgunMogaji:
System here works well.

I've never read a bad review on Skimanski, Aventures, Spyder880, KolaShangOne or AbdulWastecx.

Clients owe the part of also doing due diligence.

Well, it can be on a long pole close to your house... if you don't mind lightning gnoring the pole and hitting your house.

Seriously, your house with all the metal in and around it, is a great magnet for lightning, and you don't want to take chances

The attached copper rod is what is used in lagos. It is attached to wires and buried in the ground.

spyder880:
The right thing is to use copper tape as pictured and not electrical wires containing copper. The wires are too thin to act as earthing for the whole house.

On my side... there is no need for the 1976 story... because I was 80% "Ete Bassey"... except I was not sick or dead; this was long time ago.
I had no opportunity to come home and monitor my project because I was on a student visa, and once you leave, you are not coming back.
So my family are the next option... we are talking about mid 70s, there was no communication except letter (postal) delivery was still good.
Sending money then you have to send it thru people or those coming to USA for trading.. that was during the time called "Arrangee", if you are caught with more than "Basic Travel Allowance", you will end up in Bar Beach for firing-squad. Many old-timers will remember this time.
Long story short all photos of housing project sent to me was fake.. no house no hard earned money. I even thought of importing gun to Naija then concealed in an auto tyres so I can come and shoot those who duped, but I later changed my mind... but I surely learnt my lesson in a big way.

Your family are your worst enemy sometimes when it comes to finances or building projects, especially if you are overseas...

When you deal with a conceited person nothing changes cos they never do anything wrong so what is there to change.

gabbytabby:
The professional bodies would usually have a list of their members.

Despite what he says Brabus is not a builder all he does is coordinate the process ie project manage and for that you can use transferable skills from another sector and get better on the job.

In 9ja even some with the paper qualifications do not have sufficient experience or competency.

befto:
This makes sense Brabus.

3strike as Brabus has said above "we need a complete review of Brabus|NextHome and everything we did wrong."
