abi ooo..... Baba Abdulwastecx still dey reply ur boy for whatsapp na. I will be happy if u recommend textbooks for me. My option is mainly design & analysis & say construction. I'm a student of same discipline as u.

I second that.
Notice how Brabus will start to associate with the guy and patronise him..

Anyone have any good designs for Archs ? External facing one, so the ones that are done with cement.

Oga Spyder.


Do you have nice designs that one can put on an external arch which is by the approach elevation, so that it can be very catchy !!

Thanks.

Oga

Does the kitchen design have drawers or are they all cabinets with wide opening doors ?

The irony of owing workers money and then collecting the same monies from the client is one that is very common with the quack so called builders on this forum.

It reminds me of one time when a block seller came to my site complaining that brabus hasnt paid him, even thought i didnt buy block from that person. Can you imagine, that one na money miss road.

In another case, wood seller said he will coe to remove my decking wood due to not beign paid by Bosun Shoyoye / Brabus, it was when I said to him that I will give them his home address, the guy wake up sharply and quickly paid them .

Its just a shame that my Eghosa is not in Lagos.

Excuzeme:

I dont enjoy it ...........but the guy is a LEARNER.... as in capital "L"!
He lies too much sef! One day he is building two storey, the next day he pastes a picture of one rancid bungalow without foundation and he is begging us to tell him "how to introduce pillars", the next day he is talking about "his Helipad" and then before you can say jack. he will tell us that his has just finished decking his garage!

But when l look at the picture of what he is building, l know he is a "L" and still has a long way to go. I just dey laugh nii!

Anyway, na Ibadan boy, "his mouth" is wetin dey kill am!

(apologies to Ibadans in the house)

I really dont have his time and wont be responding to his Trash talk about this issue anymore.
if he likes, let him say he even "lives ontop of my head"!
Na im sabi

Cheers

Be like say abuse just jam someone oo.
Me self, I like reading info on this site to educate myself and create awareness on fraudsters, not really to come here to brag and talk BullSh@t

abdulwastecx:
1. You can use very sharp sand and 12.5mm gravel then of mix ratio 1:3:6

2. Marine wood will be ideal if you can afford it

3. If you have 12mm bar, you can go-ahead and use it

4. The suffice need to be smooth not the top since you are going to tile the top.

5. I think 75mm will be ideal since if too thick will render it not attractive.

I will you you are sketch soon

abdulwastecx

See revised drawings, any thoughts.

Of course na, na fathers like this dey tell their sons to steal other kids pens at a very young age for school...

brabus:
Sir KolaShangOne, tell me you didn't see the inconsistencies in the quote.
I understand that part but you didn't see that I also queried wall trim and eave angle.

Cladding is normally 0.25m (no assumption/approximation) while eave angle and wall trim is 0.150 girth. How come they're (wall trim and eave angle) more than the cladding in the estimate?

What about the scary figures? .55 is normally N1,150 (figure coming from installer who go chop hin own o), how come we got N1,750?

I don't like doing this online but I think the contractor is more of an enemy than a friend to this client.

I read this comment from BRABUS / BOSUN SHOYOYE and I just laugh.

Talk of contractor who is the enemy of the client.

Those that stole from my site using a van to cart away items, the money they got from it will lead to thier downfall, they will not use the money well, God will continue to punish them wherever they may be, and continue to ensure that they do not progress in life, Those that wanted to collude with others to defraud me at the time, they will continue to LACK !

BRABUS, OYA SAY AMEN TO THE ABOVE !!
I BET YOU DARE NOT !!, NOW WE KNOW WHO CAN BE A CLIENTS ENEMY

Hi

I have had a similar situation with brabus. Oga a beg take it easy and don't let your BP go high. Remember a good health is more important than all these property stuff.

Have you got a reputable engineer to ascertain what needs to be done and what percentage of that has been done and what is left ?

You also want to thoroughly check the integrity of what has been done.

abdulwastecx:
I will recommend you use 3'' ( 75mm).
Use stone dust as the only aggregates in a mix of 1:6
For the Formwork I will recommend you use particle board plywood and spread polythene on it to get a very smooth surface after removal of forms
Use 6mm mild steel bar spaced at 200mm center to center both directions

Thanks Bro for the advice.

Just a few things, I dont have stone dust on the ground, only sharp sand at the moment.
I also dont have 6mm rebars, can i use 12mm and increase thickness of concrete or perhaps mesh ? If mesh, which one ?
also about the ply, I only have 1 by 12 on ground to line the base of the form work, I can ask them to go buy ply though, since its a small quantity and once the formwork is removed, it can be used for the next one. Or do you think its better to buy some small marine board. Seems perfect for jobs like this, and that wouldn't need polythene right ?

Also, just to explain myself well, onnce the forms are removed, tiles will still go on it, so it doesnt have to be as smooth as a boiled egg, in fact the surface might need a little rubbing so that tiles will stick well.

How far with your comments about the kitchen worktop ?
Based on your analysis on slab/vibration etc, what kind of thickness should be used for a kitchen worktop, its not going to be carrying heavy load, most people use MDF/HDF and that does the job most of the time.

abdulwastecx

Still waiting for your comments about the kitchen, its supposed to be casted soon and i want to ensure that all instructions are provided.
Lastly, the kitchen worktop will have like a countilever design, so not flush with the sides.

What do you also think the thickness of the slab should be for the worktop.

abdulwastecx:
There are three type of pillars from the perspective of functionality
1. Structural pillars (columns) in frame structure
2 . structural pillars ( columns) in non frames structure
3. Aesthetic pillars (column)

I will be using columns instead of pillars.

A column is a structural member that load from beam to foundation or to column or another beams. It also carry moment from this beam or slab (for flat slab). The load mostly carries are idealized as point load. It carries different type of load such as axial load, uni axial and Biaxial load. The load is said to be axial if the load act at the centroid of columns, uni axial if it has one eccentricity, and Biaxial if it has two eccentricity.

To know the number of column required in a house, we have to know the functionality of the house.

Structural column carries load from suspended floors or roof. The quantity of the column is determined by architectural requirement and load intensity.

For practical purpose, most residential building have their column space at maximum of 6m center. The most economical way of spacing column is 4.5m c/c.

That is why it's important to do architectural design with equally spaced grid system.

Spacing of columns is done to reduce bending moment and over hang both side help in a way

Thanks for the explanation.
I once had a structural engineer who said he would suggest extra columns in some place because when he JUMPED UP AND HE SAID IF THERE IS VIBRATION THEN A COLUMN IS NEEDED IN THAT AREA.

When the Strucural engineer that did the building drawing was challanged, he said the person is just trying to take your money and trying to find work to do, whcih may not be needed.

It also got me thinking, if the person jumping up is a Yokozuna, there might be vibration, which has nothing to do with lack of columns, but due to his weight.
Is this thinking of jumping up FACT or FICTION ! or is there supposed to be some kind of machine similar to the one used by Building Material Testing to test concrete etc.

Coz na one Engineer for NL talk am !!

See the picture below, if 2 of them jump up, one is likely to cause vibration where the other guy might not cause any vibration !!

abdulwastecx:
I will give you some detail breakdown soon oga but to begin with, you under utilized the kitchen space

abdulwastecx

I am eagerly waiting for your input, having followed your inputs on this forum, whilst I do not know much about you apart from your username, it appears you are cool headed.

As per the kitchen, its a small 2 bed flat and the plan i provided is just an outline, also remember there will be wall cabinets on top of the counter top and where it says deep freezer, there is also going to be a wall cabinet there.
If you have any suggestions on the kitchen, I will be eager to listen.

Thanks in advance.

4nobody4every1:
Hahahaha, kneel before a praying stone.Lol....if you like kneel before Kilimanjaro rock if you dont follow the A to Z of building, it is a disaster waiting to happen

Na so i see am oo.
Did you not know that BRABUS uses juju and is very fetish, and even buried a prayer stone at a clients site, I wonder what other fetish creatures he has under his bed and inside cupboard, you are right whether he kneels in front of prayer stone or not, its a disaster waiting to happen if one doesnt follow the proper methods.

Just a thought that I had the other day.
Within a building plan there should be structural calculations done by a qualified structural engineer. They will calculate the load etc and specify where and how many pillars a building should have. Of course this doesn't apply to brabus who doesn't use the services of a structural engineer or simply uses the structural drawing of building A for building B, then kneels in front of prayer stone to pray all should be well. We have seen him do this to a client at Iba and I'm sure there are many more.


Back to the question, how do competent builders decide on where extra pillars should be added or perhaps new ones introduced where necessary. I will share what I have heard, but thought it would be good to get other opinions.

Hey guys

I have some questions, I am looking to cast a kitchen worktop. So I decided to come up with the actual plan so that everyone is clear etc.

from the plan below, I have the following questions.

Should the worktop be exactly 600mm, we know during casting that sometimes concrete mix does move etc, this all depends on the formwork obviously.


* What should be the thickness of the slab which will have tiles on it ?
* Should there be some holes created on the blockwork for things like services, I can think of the gas cooker gas supply hose.
* In the plan below, I can see an issue which is where will the gas cylinder be located ? Does anyone know height of a typical cooking gas cylinder ?
* what height should the worktop ? I have 900mm from the floor as height in mind.
* Is the 600mm space for the cooker sufficient, when I checked some of the cookers some are 500, others are 600. This is for a typical floor standing cooker.

Our engineers in the house. Any thoughts ?

Oga Rushtec

U just fashi my sides !
How na, how weekend ?
Whats happening to those Turkish doors ?

Childish is when you backbite and say bad things about someone you had a business association with but due to your greed and short sightedness, they sack you and all of a sudden you start to bad mouth their project.

Childish is a dwarf kid who tells my security to lie that he has supplied common 25k 5 bags of nail when the millions have been to you before.

Childish is someone who goes to another person's site and brags that it's his work. Anyway let me warn you, if you goto my site within the perimeter fence I have asked security to pour petrol on you and whatever happens it's between you and your God or prayer stones in your case.

Childish is someone who lies over every little thing, did you not know that a fool at 40 Is a fool forever.

Should I educate you more about childish adults ?

brabus:
Mr. Toyin Agoro, I cannot afford the cost of organizing a pity party for you. All I can afford is to ignore you.

Confront Brabus with facts and you're a winner. Otherwise, I can't help you.


I've moved on.

Hahaha

I have moved on from pity. What's my business with pity

God has helped me with the finishing of the carcass, cleaned up your mess, allowed me to rise above your bull sh*t rants. What else is there to pity

Tell me the facts you need and I will supply it here ?

is it that you steal materials

Is it that you tried to bribe my security and collide with gin to defraud me, because he didn't agree with your cunning plan, you blacklisted him and said a lot of bad things about him.

Is it that you lie a lot

is it that you are fetish and use juju or prayer stones lol, lol I have told you before, You Are sick in the head and you need to kneel in front of your prayer stone

is it that you owe a lot of people money and run a ponzi scheme

the fact that you are nothing but a finished man who is parading himself as an engineer with no qualifications to back it up.

I see u oo Bosun Davies Shoyoye YAHOO BOY WITH SHOVEL #YBWS

Obviously this serial underachiever will never change.
Wonder why you are still stealing after so many years building so called houses ? perhaps the curse that people have placed on your head. I also wonder if your wife is part of the ploy as well, remember that faithful day in May when I had a meeting with you at mega chicken, wonder what your wife as doing downstairs that day ??

Now to let you guys know what a real idiot Brabus/Bosun is, he goes to 3strike site and then messages me bad things on his site on whatsapp. I'm sure the same God that keeps allowing 3strike to progress will do justice and ensure that you continue to suffer and lack because you steal from others people's sweat (I don't need to provide proof, it'd countless I just need you to deny it and then I will provide them again). Remember one day one of your 2 boys will be reading this. Get to know the kind of father they have, a serial under achieving THIEF !!!

See below on what he said about 3strike site.so when he comes here ranting a lot if bull sh*t u guys know what I mean.

bebe2:
i don tire oo

was planning to come home on the 7th of next month, but there is no need.

will wait till june. too complicated

Don't be downbeat, be upbeat
I don't like recommending agents because it's difficult to vouch for anyone, look at brabus how he became a villain, introduced him to 2 customers and he messed up all 3 of us. There is one agent who knows the ajah terrain very well. Ping me and I can send you the details.

bebe2:
tnks for ur input,

how much shud i increase my budget?

and how do i get a place around ikota and jakande?

i dont like ogombo, the place too far.

Na to find reputable agents.
Forget Ikota, developers have moved in and some roads have been done which has jacked up prices.

6 years ago when i drove pass for the very first time. 10m would get u a juicy Plot at ikota villa

Look just before second toll and jakande.
Behind orchid hotel inside is usually water logged
you can also try Ajiran area also
try to avoid the cheaper side of ikota, they call it resettlement village, when my driver drive me pass to avoid express holdup, I was terrified to remove my phone to take some pictures. You need to see the conditions some people live in, even some pigs live in a cleaner environment.
It will be likely water logged and likely no consent.
have around 15m for pocket

If you are interested in flipping, try to up your budget if possible, then target areas that are even in front (Ikota up till Jakande). Thats where you can make a killing.
It also depends on how long u want to hold out for and being at the right place at the right time, the 6m you have now can buy a plot in an area where the going rate is 15m, just depends on how desperate the seller is.

Will you also be doing things like perfecting the title, also even though you want to flip ? Its a ridiculous system in Nigeria, if you perfect the tittle, it will cost u time and money, but increases the value slightly, whats stupid about it is that the next buyer also has to do thesame thing under thier own name, absolutely bunkers..

You will need to ensure that you still secure the land oo. Either fence it so that nobody encroaches on it or try to nick some of your land (this was what pushed me onto Brabus, didn't plan to use him)
If you put someone there to be living like security guard, you still need to be on top of things, tell the person to alert you if they spot your neighbor doing things inside your plot etc. Best thing, fence it and put someone there, to fence it if you are not planing on building it, just arrange block and some pillars, as long as its not water logged. if its water logged, there is no escaping raft.

Ogombo is another area, a neighbor of mine at my site told me he bought some plots for 900k each a few years back or so. Now thats a good price.

Bebe

Have you considered some areas around Sangotedo or LBS ?

Look out for

Good title (The ones with Global C of O are not much )
Land as firm as possible
Upland area if you are lucky
No dispute on the land etc.


You can also look at Greenland Estate or Happy land estate, was there to check a plot 18 months ago, my lawyer/surveyor found out that its not inside Gazette even though the seller is one of the bigwigs in the estate and told us all was well. Its a functional estate, but I understand a plot there goes for upward of 10m, ones for 5m - 6m are likely to be at the rear and water logged. But check well and ENSURE you get a lawyer/surveyor to chart the plot and check out the legal sides.

3 beds as of 2 years ago command 800k in rent, I dont know about now. Title is excision\gazette etc and you have to do your own consent.

So what is the alleged offence, it just strikes me as wrong what they did ?
If it helps, I can provide you with a contact. You might also need to involve someone quite high up as well to ascertain what is going on here.

brabus:
@OP, I'm so sorry I brought this to your thread. I really wish there's something I can do to stop this but you know this is beyond me. I've opened official complaint thread for anyone who had issues with me but not so many can express what’s going on in their mind without outbursts or withdrawal.

As we all know that immaturity is contagious. So don't be surprised there's followership. Responding to all the barking will lead us nowhere.

@bebe2, the man in me doesn’t care what the boy in them thinks about me as long as I believe in what I'm doing.

Men take care of shits and not talk about it.

Let the thread come alive again.

I think what people are saying is that you should shut your mouth and stop defrauding people. You can also put all your Bullsh*t on your official thread. Who cares !
The thread is alive, its your ambition to defraud innocent people that needs to be stamped out. Lets have a NL without fraud, and it means a NL without brabus, go to your prayer stones and kneel in front of it, clearly Brabus is sick in the head..
