I know there was a period there where steptiles were peeking due to faulty dice. Some builders stopped using step tiles or at least went to the higher gauges.

Back then sha.

Thanks elder


I had sleepless night with the video you uploaded the other day lol

Where are the other roofers in the house

First of all
Are there step tiles of 0.33 inches thick
Is there a way to know if brabus actually used 0.55 ?
These issue will soon be resolved

I don't know who is a troll all I see are disappointed customers.

In government agencies, there is SERVICOM, to the public there's Public Complaints Commission, in corporate organizations you find that box with special inscription: "Complaints". Some provide a toll free telephone line to address criticism and dissatisfaction.

Brabus has his complaint box filled. Let him attend to it professionally.

They might be trolls to you but I see complainants that if not addressed fully may damage his business. No business man need a bad review.


I got a contract to repaint a huge public building. I mentioned my paint maker in the same complex and they guys I employed to paint the building who doubled as staffs in the complex vow never to use his paint cos he produces a bad paint. According to them the paint maker paints has greatly put them into problems that almost sacked some that I should go outside the complex to purchase quality paint.

I insisted and went to the paint maker with all the allegations. Surprisingly, he owned up to producing bad paint when he set up the factory new but over time he has improved on the criticisms and experiences. He promise to give me dulux standard and eventually delivered over 150 drums of paint which is still glittering till date.

My point: Brabus learn a thing or two from that build that will improve his next job. So please don't call experience maker a troll.

Ciao

Madam
The real complainers are only co.ing here to drop one or two comments. I am not disputing their claims.
I am talking about a troll that has continued to rubish this thread over the past few weeks.
Except you just want to turn a blind eye to the nuisance that person has been here.
He is not a CLIENT TO BRABUS.
So HE OR SHE IS A TROLL

freshvine:
I have read 3strike saga with Brabus and Qc1. This is my submission and I believe I speak the mind of unbiased members of this forum.

A. Brabus no matter the approach to PR stunts to remedy your Image and integrity the fact remains you still have dissatisfied customers. A man that truly works and end his money deserves maximum value or corresponding value for it. Becoming an attack dog to remedy your name is not the best policy.

The fact is YOUR CUSTOMERS ARE STILL DISSATISFIED.

Instead of mocking him or his sources of income why not appeal to his emotions or render unreserved apology and move on. We all make mistakes in life and live with it.

There was a time 8 storey building collapsed in Rivers state. You need to pass through the site to imagine the professionalism, materials put into the project but it eventually collapsed maybe due to structural error does that mean the engineers or the firm has not been building houses before? Who'll do trial and error with a building contractor with a multi storey building?

Mistakes happens. Put up a worded apology and move on. You can never be right all of the time. You were a professional in the site...calling land sellers or what not as witnesses is immaterial.

Meanwhile I follow you cos I like your concept and packaging. Your building and thought processes are futuristic while leaving others with modern techniques.

He is a contractor.
If he is not wrong he must not make mistake of admiring to been wrong
Except he believes he is wrong.
If he admits to been wrong when innocent, they will use that to nail him forever.
Note I am not saying he is innocent.
My own still remains

He should learn From Baba egun mogaji and ignore these trolls

BrabusNG:
@somehow I gave an answer to your question already.

The project is 100% owner-managed with the owner acting as the General Contractor picking subtrades, suppliers and workmen he like to do the job.

Brabus
I consider you to be one of the best on here. If not the best.
The truth is that despite all these allegations, I will still use you for my build when my money reach.
But for now
It's better you trash this talk once and for all.
If client brought you on to supervise the project pls talk.
If he made you to cut corners pls say.
Clients can be difficult sometimes.
I made my babalati to cut corners on one of my fence and it cost me.
I dare not blame him.
So pls bring on these people and trash this thing once and for all
Or
When they post pls stop quoting them.

Then I. Will trash talk some people on here
With all due respect.
Some of y'all are behaving like Hippocrates
I feel like mentioning names
But haba
Someone is derailing this thread.
Y'all can bring an end to this.
Bring both parties together and find an end to this issue.
Someone like egun mogaji is well respected by people on here. He can try to get both of them together.
These people still feel pain from their job with brabus.
And I am sure they can stop all these derailing if the bigger men try to settle it.

Imagine robosky bringing on a new mantra when this issue started
" All action and no talk"
This is obviously intended for brabus.
I think elders should always behave like elders.

Everybody just dey fuckup

EgunMogaji2:


Baba I’m retired jare. Na on top horse I dey for polo club dey read am dey laugh

Yeah, that’s self leveling cement.

Last time I used it was on wood floor in the USA. But it was only in my game room.

It's looks gummy.
Finishing looks nice too
I just don't know if it's expensive

Brabus
I have said this before
You shouldn't reply any of those mentions again
You just keep on posting .
The moment they stop getting attention, they will stop.

Look at how egunmogaji ignored someone up there.
D guy no gree talk again
And he was trying to drag egun into a nairaland war lol.

People are seeing your works here.
I admire your builds and I love the fact that you are willing to explore
I am tired of just normal builds in Nigeria
And i love when people just wanna do things extra ordinary.
I will share a video
I hope I don't get banned
Modified
I will post pictures instead


No b cement b dis

topsy23:


Boss we done some installations with nigerite company using the Kalsi wall . Portharcourt, Ado Ekiti, and Lekki second toll gate check out our thread

https://www.nairaland.com/1233943/contact-us-electrical-mechanical-plumbing/15

Bro
Were you d one that did that board building or you were only contracted for the electrical and plumbing instanlations

Which is cheaper ?
Normal block or those boards ?

n3xt:


When we were using NextHome dump truck, they told me it can’t deliver sand to my site.

I wasn’t surprised though. Lagos is a state filled with educated illiterates.

They said what I brought is even bigger than trailer so I have to pay double.
I really don’t mind so far I have what’s required to execute my job.

The problem is all these things have no law backing. But our govs. And law makers are aware and don't want to destroy those practices.
It's shameful.
They all keep quiet cos anyone who says a word about it won't be re-elected
I once saw the omonile price for elegusi, the money is even enough to build a mini duplex lol

n3xt:


Thanks bro!

I learnt the granite has been delivered. I didn’t get to see it but the bill I got from the suppliers association and the omo onile’s already gave me ideas of what to expect.

Let’s do one more tomorrow.

Lol
This country is too hard
So because you didn't buy from that area
The suppliers association in that area will charge you. Lol
Lol
Also Lagos has consistently been fucking up over this omonile issue.
Because those omonile will still vote for them

Imagine some idiots collecting money at every stage of your building.
Money that doesn't go to the govt. Pocket or even the development of the community

How many square metres is the land pls

Next
Pls put estimate of total cost of production along the line pls

It seems this is your first journal/diary
I am not sure sha
But I want to see how this will come off.
I love the fact that you are so open to innovative ideas in builds
Enjoy.

GoodFaith:

Contract is meeting of the mind
when people start having problem between contractor and client there is no meeting of the mind
I like people with balance view but i think you are on side
wrong is wrong

Pls how am I on one side?
Even after stating clearly that we need to protect both the client and the contractor. How is that one sided.
Clients are not doing anything the contractors any favour bro.
They are paying for a service.
We have this mentality in Nigeria and it is crazy.
You see politicians been thanked for a job they were elected to do

My position remains
In any transaction, both client and contractor should be well protected. Everybody should come out of a deal well satisfied.
Gracias

n3xt:


Thanks bro for all you do. It matters a lot.

Boss
I am just stating the obvious o
Have a great day bro

Some days ago
I made a comment on here that false accusations will ruin people's reputation and business.
That time it was Nxt that was been accused, and I said something that day, if something isn't done, other contractors on here will be the next victim.
Guys
It is very hard for you to work for years without defrauding people and only one deal will just tarnish and destroy all your hard work.
Humans are indeed wicked. Nigerians especially. We are all very very wicked. Very very wicked

Was is there in a simple apology and post modification,
That fraud allegation was seen by many and most of them won't see that it was false, these people are all potential client/customers.

We all practice double standards.
Why will mountmoriah be held to standards and the client won't be asked to modify or edit a post?
Is it because it is his money ? We keep forgetting that mountmoriah also worked for his money too..
We are protecting clients without protecting the contractors. To other contractors that have kept mute, what goes around comes around.
No b curse, you can never be too careful, someone one day night bring up baseless accusations against you.

@nxt it is damn too obvious client doesn't want to give any apology.
It is very very obvious.
On the day he was accusing someone here. He was online 247 replying and quoting. Now he is no where to be found.
Man doesn't want to go back on his words
His last post even had a line that everyone over looked
That contractor had sinister motive. Even after supplying his goods. Imagine.

Just free the guy
God go judge am.

GoodFaith:


"Most people on here are getting info here freeeeeeee"------MEANING

THEY SHOULD STEAL FROM THE PEOPLE

All of us have benefited from Nairaland
Contractors
seller
buyer
People Building
People just reading and passing information to Friend

Where else do people get these kinds of freebie jnfor

Pls let's just overlook the effort of these people.
I am.not a contractor, but any one here who dishes out advice/opinion is doing good.
People come here with plans for scrutiny, boq and estimates for advice, etc. Maybe people have successfully built their house on this thread without paying a dime to any site manager, purely supervising their project from start to finish.
A lot of DIY projects equally got completed on here.
Let's appreciate everyone contributing to this thread abeg

Focusmind:


The thing surprises me a lot. The unrelenting attack on n3xt, 'codedly" and "uncodedly" surprises me a lot. People are even afraid to mention his name. He has never hidden his address, number or place of work. I believe that people that have genuine issues with him knows where to get him. Raising accusation without proof is not good. He has contributed a lot here and people will still vilify him. They say it is all packaging. My brother, you can never be a good marketer without packaging. I work as an independent consultant myself and I do packaging to win people over. if I don't have it, I fake it, as long as I deliver on my clients request.

Please, I don't know him as a person. So, I am not holding any brief for him. All my projects have been handled by nairalanders here without any issue. The only issue I had was with HSL Broker on my large windows, which he later delivered after some delays. I earlier wanted to vilify him but shelved the idea after listening to his submission - weather true or false was not my concern again. I was even accused here of trying to protect him. Whether he scammed people before or not, I wouldn't know.

Character assassination is bad and should be the last resort. I have someone here, a very popular aluminum guy that brought broken windows to me. I have been on his matter for the past seven months to replace them but he kept shifting the goal post. I wouldn't want to spoil his business but when it becomes extremely difficult, I may have to call him out with all facts. That's the way it should be. All accusations have to be proven.

As someone mentioned on Michliin, I remember the bullying he suffered here, but the guy was a determined fighter, with good sense of decorum, uncommon with people in his profession. He has since risen to become a poster child now in iron works here.

Asin you get it.
If someone has a case against someone
Bring it here with solid proofs
Or better still report to relevant authorities.

But spoiling peoples reputation is never it.

And the other contractors have all kept quiet.
Nobodybis even saying a word, some are using his situation to their benefit, funny thing is that this issh will not stop if not nipped in the bud. It is nxt today, it will be someone else tomorrow.
Fraud is very very bad
Baseless accusation is equally bad.


Most people on here are getting info here freeeeeeee
If not for the inputs of these engineers people out there would have scammed them blue black.
Someone is taking his time to answer questions and you are still condemning that person.
People will bring building plans here for scrutiny, something they are normally supposed to pay for, they are getting it for free.
It is well

crafteck:


Omooo... Will charge to answer questions ooo,

Like 3k+or- 1k average for 17kva, usually on from 8.30 am to like 9 pm, with nepa giving light for like 3 hours thats like 9 hours.
40kva takes about 5k+or-1k diesel if used same
way

Loads plenty gan, led lights are negligible
About 20 tvs maybe 15 to 16 consoles, 2 microwaves, big chiller, 2 deep freezers, 5 inverters, 8 ox fans.. Some that i cant remember, all usually.

Funny thing is with exception of inverters and acs, even 13kva diesel gen will power all

On ac matter, there are 6 in food, 3 in games, on small gen i use only 1 or 2 in food. on big gen i can use all but i sometimes limit it to 4.

Bro
Thanks so much for replying.
I have plans for something like this
Thou not exactly your setup but it is a similar business.

So I really don't understand your first answer

Do you spend 5k on fuel or how much, cos I saw 5k-1k
I don't understand -1k

Secondly

How do you handle your staff
Is there shift
Cos I knowyou will have like 5 staffs in that location or more.
Are the okay with working from 8am to 9pm everyday including Sundays.
Do they have days off
.how much do you pay them weekly
Pls if you are not okay with answering any question, don't bother to answer it.
Cos I know you might not want to disclose some business practices.
I will ask for your number on a later day.

Secondly
If light is between 3-5 hours on most days how much do you pay per month in light bills is it not okay to stay entirely non diesel gen ?
Ever had issues with govt in taxes
There is one question also.
Ticketing
Is there a way you monitor people who have exceeded 10 minutes ?

crafteck:


P3 50
P4 100
Nintendo switch mariokart 50 per head, takes 4 players at once
Ps5 200,
17.5kva lister peter soundproof for everyday use 90 percent of the time about 1m used

40kva perkins sound proof for when i want to host a party or something, got it over 2m used,

Hoping to get space for business at either yaba or liasu/ikotun side.

Both gen power gamehouse and lounge, its the number of ac used that differ.

Bro
Good morning

Pls what is the amount you spend on diesel daily

What's is the consumer like on your 17kva and 40kva gen.
I will like to have an idea of how much you spend on fuel for the two gens and quantity.
Also
How many ACs, TVs and computer does the 40kva handles ?

vickzie:
it's that "CUSTOMER IS ALWAYS RIGHT" mentality. in as much as some contractors can be dubious, some clients can also deliberately put you in trouble and deny when the issue is escalated. I was supervising a foundation, already gave the labourers the mix ratio, just for me to attend to something else for less than 10mins, I noticed the mix was different, I queried the labourers and I was told, "na oga tell us to increase sand and stone because e dey chop cement". if it had caused a major failure in the structure, that's how oga would blamed "Engineer"

Asin that customer is always right is making a lot of people to misbehave
Not only in construction alone.
You will deliver items to customers and they will treat you like trash and expect you to soak all in because you wanna sell.
There are dubious engineers, but some of this complains are just smear campaigns. Whenever you see people deviations for proper work scrutiny to talking about why is he the one handling and hijacking kobocity, you should know that this is a well orchestrated smear campaign.
People's business are been killed with all this unsubstantiated claims.
Let's do better.
Call people out with proofs

Imagine someone above, person deliver items to you, you are not okay with the items, he offered to refund you, you said no
You just wanna spoil his business, why can't you write a simple review like

Hey I transacted with Mr A, I am not okay with the services he provided. I will not be doing or advice anyone to buy from him. Simple
But telling that person
I will.make sure you don't ever sell or I will call you fraud everytime you post is just outright bitterness.

This issue is so dare to me.
I can't access thousands of pages worth of info on the agric section because the moniker was wrongly accused of been a fraud and he deactivated his account.
No contractor on earth can provide � topnotch service to the taste of his customers every single time. One day mistake go sha dey, will you allow to be clear a fraud over one failed work, after having been involved with 100s more ?

bixton:



NL is a terrible place to be if you are not dogged. I give kudos to michlins for standing strong. Not many who tried to aspire to get jobs on here made it so fast as he did.
I just hope he maintains his reputation. You don't want to be a victim on NL.......if them spoil your name here a little search via google will highlight you........

Asin

And that reputation will go on for as long as possible.
Some people will have a lil bit of misunderstanding, they will term you a scammer
And when you ask them for proof. There won't be a concrete proof.
Imagine working for years and all these to be undone with a single transaction.

something is happening on this thread that if care is not taken, will lead to something nasty later in future. This same thing happened on the agric thread sometime ago, the guys name was emmachile. Emmachile was like the most resourceful person on the whole agric section, he mentored and helped a whole lots of agric enthusiasts on that section, one day someone came up with a fraud claim, and emmachile was tagged to be a scammer. His named was soiled and man deleted his username and left nairaland. Thousands of pages of information on poultry farming was immediately deleted. After everything, emmachile was vindicated,he was not a scammer and it was just a stupid mistake from the accuser. But all those pages were gone. I have searched and search on his organic poultry with no success.
Same thing is happening to nxt and some other guys here. If someone scammed you, bring proofs and and give detailed explanation on how it happened here for everybody to see and judge, don't just be behind your phone and be labeling people both directly and indirectly as scammers. These might just be minor misunderstanding that can be corrected. no one on here will deny the fact that next had hhelped answered loads of questions on this thread. If you are cheated bring proofs. Spoiling peoples business is not it.
Some people are even claiming he has two or 3 monikers. Funny thing is that he has never denied owing all monikers.
Some are claiming he hijacked kobocity to himself, pls where are the other administrators of this project
Some are saying he is showcasing old works bla bla bla, are they not his work ?
.I am not saying he is not a scammer or he is a scammer, I am saying people should bring proofs.
Labeling people is bad if you can't provide proofs. It scares away potential customers. Even if the accused person is vindicated.
Man is still on the forum
Posting daily, still people are accusing him.

I come in peace.
I am not holding brief for anyone
I just want us to learn from what happened on agric section
Don't mind the typo pls[/b]

GreenArrow1:


It'll interest you to know that people can be very resourceful when they make up their most and to steal.
I have a project that has stalled since November 2019 but I still retained the services of the Security company we hired initially to secure the site. There have been countless break-ins but all successfully repelled. If not, they'd have removed the Y12 bars we placed (but yet to cast) for beams and also cut off the Y16 starter bars shooting out of already cast columns thereby making us incur humongous costs not previously factored into the B.O.Q. Which kind of variation would you now raise that the client or consultant won't cause wahala for you should that happen?
In my early days in construction when I didn't yet have a dedicated team working with me, I noticed that some Masons come to work and are accompanied by their okada accomplices who just park beside the building site, waiting for you to go for lunch or some other distraction so they can load their bikes with bags of cement and zoom off. Leaving you to exhaust 200 bags for a 120 - bags section of work.
It happens.

Name sake
Good evening oo

rotecch77:


Noo, The 2m stop at carcass ONLY.

Carcas means with roofing right
Roofing and doors.but no plastering ?


You are doing a great job sir

Boss
Are you still under the 2m budget to this point ?

EgunMogaji2:
One of the looks I’m considering

Daddy.
I have been following this thread for so long.
I love this.
I have a non for profit sch in one village like that in north.
And I am considering this as a viable option.
Presently our kids sit on bare floors
I think this will be a viable option
Just that I have two issues.
First what wood is ontop is it mbf?
I am thinking of something strong and fancy.
Secondly can the iron work be twisted and made into something I will show you here

You might not know.
I love reading your post alongside brabus.
God bless both of you and others too on the forum

Those doors are very cool

And nice job sir

ItsTutsi:
where is it located?

Kubau local govt.
That's like the biggest producers of tomatoes in kad state

danduchi:
you're right.. Cheaper in zaria

It is cheaper in Dutsen wai.
That is the biggest tomatoes market in Kaduna state.
You can ask around..
They supply Lagos between 5-10 trailers of tomatoes daiky

Kcitytv:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6zd-WQsETRw

Tomatoes farming and trading is a very big business, due to the fact that almost everybody eats the vegetable. In Nigeria, tomato farming is majorly done in the northern part of the country so tomatoes and other farm produce are cheap up north. I visited one of the biggest tomatoes market located at (Central market kaduna ) to know the current price of tomatoes.

You can get a basket of tomatoes now for #2500 now. We spoke to a trader he said the price of the good normally changes but, it's cheaper now. He added that you can get the bigger basket for # 3500.

The trader added that most of the traders in the market are farmers to, if they can get support to boost the business, the price of food stuff will be cheaper.

Lol
Central market is not the biggest tomatoes market in Kaduna state.
Have you ever heard of Dutsen wai ?

kingzsoul:


Met someone in the container dept today. He said it depends on what is inside the container and clearing is 5% of the total worth. I think u need to go to the port cos all this clearing agents are funny o. Which shipping company is he using and which line?

Thanks so much.
I have been praying clearing and everydamn thing to be done at the port won't be more than 10 percent of total worth.
God bless you sir

kingzsoul:


Will make the enquiry for you from our container dept. They will knw much better.

.thank you sir
I will be expecting
