Do you cast Paraphet ? If so, what mix ration do you use for in-situ paraphet ? Thanks. |
Adventures I am also constructing around the axis. some quick questions. Did you get disturbed for approval ? Did some testing material people come ? How did you deal with them. Thanks. Also, I see 4 board for the foundation. If at a later stage one decides to increase to 6 board, in the metal work, I see 3 16mm rods tied at the top, can one use 2 instead of 3 for the extra 2 board ? Remember the bottom 4 board used 3 just like you have it in your picture above. |
geesampower:Thanks for the reply, what I would like to know is the cost implication of going DC based pump. Can you state this please ? Thanks. |
Boss. I already have a borehole with submersible pump. I have some questions. How can I deploy a solar powered pump ? Can existing pump be used or a new one will be needed ? How much will.it cost just to power submersible pump and another pump to take Water from a ground level tank to the tanks on a tower ? Simple system with low maintenance. Thanks |
Whats not clear here is this. The OP is saying that the number of pillars is different to what is on the ground and has asked BRABUS the following questions: Who did the architectural drawings ? Who did the structural drawings ? The placing of the pillars on the building, was it done by guesswork or followed design which was put on paper ? Clearly its not the latter. What are the credentials of the architect ? What are the credentials of the structural engineer ? Why is the COREN engraving missing from the structural drawings ? It would be good to get straight answers to straight questions rather than side tracking. Just my 2 cents. |
Rotech I know there is a lot of variables in play, but can you give us an idea of the cost for this piece of work ? Thanks. |
Who casts a paraphet ? Caster or a Bricklayer ? Thanks. |
Oga 3strike Abeg as u sit down on top mat. Help me ask brabus when he's coming to take his boards oo. And police that are coming must come with warrant oo. I need the boards off my site they are starting to constitute a nuisance and with the heat coming from brabus on this marine board palaver I have removed his boards sharply today, I want to move on and this marks the end. |
For the record. Brabus has acknowledged my message but has not given me a date when he will come to take his board. As I hear police are coming, I also need to a arrange soldiers as well and they must bring their tools if you know what I mean.lol
|
Bosun/Brabus/next home please come and get your marine boards away from my site. I have told them to remove it with immediate effect. This has been done and put to the front of the site. Once you collect your marine board. This marks the end, I wish you luck in all your endeavours and pls don't come to my site again. I'm quite concerned about sabotage. Thanks. |
brabus:SHINE YOUR EYES WELL WELL. Search on nairaland for brabus and ask questions before you enter one chance with BRABUS !!! |
brabus:Looking for next MUGU !!! I have resumed class, I am listening on how to do finishing the brabus way..... |
brabus:One way traffic abi ![]() ![]() And I don't have any legal powers to seize the marine board abi are you telling me that those 10 or so dead wood cost 250k to rent ![]() ![]() ![]() You see, when you are in the wrong, you should learn to apologise, beg God for forgiveness and turn your fraudulent life around. Don't come here and think people are fools. How do you even sleep with your 2 eyes closed self ? And yet you claim to be a regular church goer, this isn't about religion I am sure there are many muslim, pegan, baba-alawo Brabus equivalent in Nija. |
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.. |
You called a fried of mine BRAG3 who has grieviences against you today and reported me to him accusing me of breaking agreement, using your marine without your consent, damaging your marine board bla bla bla !!! From the pictures I posted, everyone can see the state of your marine when you brought them here, and as I said If I wanted to take revenge, Walai I will burn everything. But I would not do that, your boards will be taken out, put to the front of the site and you shall come to take them away from the dimensions of my perimeter fence. |
brabus:I am making it LOUD AND CLEAR for everyone to be a witness, you will get your marine boards next week and THAT IS IT. you do not move anything else from my site, and this marks the end of any connection between us, I have informed everyone that I introduced to you that "CAVEAT EMPTOR", I have no association with you anymore and any dealings with you is at their own risk and I do not want to hear anything. They have been WARNED, loud and clear... YOU WILL NOT BE TAKING ANY PLANKS NO MATTER WHAT SIZE AWAY FROM MY SITE. JUST YOUR MARINE BOARDS AND THAT IS IT. |
brabus:You may have moved on a month ago and sent me an apology email weeks ago, but what I am saying here is that you will get your marine board and that is it. It ends there and we go our separate ways. |
The yellow bit is the 1 x 12 metre wood which I bought ever before he bought any pako to my site, and the black bit is the marine board which I rented and duly paid 250k for. IF Bosun/Nexthome/Brabus want to deny receiving payment, I will share the proof here. I have nothing to hide.
|
brabus: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, |
Hi All, I see that the topic has changed here, and we are now talking about staircases and others like me are still picking up the pieces of a brabus/Bosun/Next home scam. Brabus has started again, at the onset when he was managing my project and we were at the decking stage, I agreed to rent his marine board of course at a fee, as there is no such thing as a free lunch. What I didn’t envisage however was that I would be scammed big time in the manner in which it was done, I bought wood to the tune of almost 500k, this included 1 by 12 size which is what gets used for lining the base of the decking, it’s the long piece of wood about 1 metre wide. For the decking, we agreed a sum of 250k to cover marine rental and the 1 x 12 metre wood was supposed to be used for the sides of the decking and also staircase, the edges of the decking and lintel + pillars. I thought I had enough there to cover everything but what I didn’t know was that Brabus/Next home/Bosun Davis was out there to defraud and scam me. During the decking phase, my brother who happened to be in town went to site, and we observed that 80% of the decking was being lined with the 1 x 12 wood which I bought for other things, when I confronted Bosun on this, he denied it, but he didn’t know that I was armed with a picture taken from site just minutes before confronting him, when I sent him the picture, he changed story and said that the carpenters have made an expensive mistake by using my pako instead of the marine, the truth is that there was no marine board for them to use, as I recall Brabus/Bosun saying that part of the money I was paying him was to be used to buy new marine as the one he had were being used in other places and isn’t enough. So now he collected 250k from me for renting marine but used the wood that I bought for 80% of the decking. This raises 4 questions. 1. Why should I pay for the mistakes of his workers ? 2. Bosun/Nethome was supposed to be monitoring his workers, why were they not called to order ? 3. Why the deception and lying first, I asked him first to wait for him to lie to me, then confronted him with the picture, at which point he was cornered? Well, I blame myself for dealing with a fraud !! 4. Should my 250k be returned or at least 80% of it. I was told later that they would need extra 100 1 x 12 despite buying over 400, to which I paid for it out of annoyance, but I felt I had no choice and I wanted to be out of this hell hole ! I was later told another 150 would be required, at that point I was very angry and told Bosun\Brabus that under no circumstances would I be paying for that. He paid for it, despite threats from the wood supplier that he wasn’t paid and he wanted to come to my site to start removing the wood he supplied under Bosun name, although Bosun told him that I was the one who ordered it, so he used my own good name to lie (I always pay wood supplier promptly). Anyway, he sorted that issue out with the wood sup0plier when I said I would start giving people his home address s they can hold his trousers at his house and get their money back. Now we can see from the pictures, pictures don’t lie or am I doing film trick here ?? What was said at the time was that Bosun would come to collect his 150 planks that he paid for with his marine, now my decking was done a month ago and Bosun came to my site today to pick up his dead generator and started complaining that why did I use his marine to cast my septic tank and that It wasn’t part of the agreement. Now I have some questions/thoughts. 1. When talking of sticking to agreement, I am not going to receive lessons from Brabus/Bosun/Next home, this is someone who is wicked, heartless and most unsurprisingly a fraudulent individual. Will my marine rental money be returned in full or in part based on the pic I shared ? 2. I am not returning any 150 planks anymore; if I was vindictive I would burn the marine boards as retaliation. 3. I would recommend that Brabus/Bosun come to pick up his marine boards next week and not to step foot on my site again. 4. If Bosun is complaining that I have damaged his marine and he wants to be compensated, how about my own compensation for using my wood when he was supposed to use his own marine. 5. How about the works that I had to pay for fixing and still paying for fixing that he didn’t do ? 6. How about my front fence which I fully paid for and hasn’t been done (I don’t care about this anymore, I will swallow the cost but what I cannot stand and will fight to the teeth is the issue of compensation on his boards). The first pic, you can see the proportion of marine/my pako (wood) that I bought. on the decking I have 3 x 2 bedroom flats. The marine Brabus/Bosun supplied doesn't even cover 1 flat. If I had bought pako, I would have owned it and my 250k would have bought about 300 planks. The second/third pic is a screenshot of the conversation that I had with Bosun/Nexthome/Brabus on whatapp. Now, we have the evidence here in writing, its not a case of dem say, he said, you said and all that poo... The last pic is the condition of the marine board he brought to my site. So everyone can see and make their own judgement...

babaeko1:Guys My NL account is now working. This is my experience from Brabus/Nexthome/Bosun. |
Which Aluminium make do you sell ? Do you sell Tower Aluminium ? Whats the best Aluminium product in the market ? |
Hello. Do you also do aluminium 0.55 grade, and I would like to know what the cost information is like between aluminium and stone coated tiles. Secondly, from your experience what is the best wood to use for roofing, durability is the key here ? And where is the best placed to source those authentic wood ? Is it just roof plan that you need to provide estimate, lastly I know its carpenter that puts together the roof wooden structure, who actually fits the tiles or aluminium ? Is it carpenter or separate roofer ? Thanks in advance. |
Adeekiti. I have another question for you on windows that open out, within my building there is about a 2.75 and 3m setback between the building and the fence, this is also the intended car parking space as well. Now with windows that open out, will this be an issue if cars are parked and the windows are opening outwards ? Secondly, with the windows do you suggesting installation after plastering or before plastering. I look at it like this, installing it before plastering means that when plastering almost certain that the bricklayers will use cement to stain the burglary proof and the glass. After plastering means that the walls need to be broken into again etc. Are there any disadvantages of having the burglary proof inserted into the windows like you have here, what level of thickness do you use for the rods ? Doesn't it also mean that if I'm unhappy with the rods that you have used, I now have to dismantle everything (windows/burglary proof) What is the price difference between sliding window and the one that opens outwards, lets assume same size/design. I want to have an idea. Lastly, how do you operate in terms of a contract, surely I would not be paying 100% up front before the goods are delivered and quality tested. Thanks. |
Brag3 You are spot on, like I said to a previous poster who was suggesting that a contractor can build with his own money, obtain insurance and all that kind of stuff, in a developed country where there are checks and balances, YES that can work. But this is Nigeria, we need to be pragmatic. Its like saying that when one goes to Lagos from abroad you don't need to organise car to move around etc, you will be environmentally friendly and you will enter train/tube to go to places like you can do in developed cities like NY, Paris and London etc. I find that the legal system is fraught with flaws, the security agencies overlap each other and the system is completely KAPUT ! Just pray not to enter it, its the kind of system whereby if Omonile boys are disturbing me and wanting to encroach on a plot of land, Its more effective to carry a bunch of trigger happy soldiers to site than go to court bla bla bla. Its the kind of system whereby matters are settled using crude methods rather than official methods. That's why you see thief with tyres around their neck and ready to be roasted. Welcome to Nija..... |
Complete diversion !!! Brabus na joke, I wonder who will turn up for that convention. I hope its not a bunch of brabus lookalikes/bunch of fraudsters !! |
brabus:Nothing as worse as dealing with you, how I choose to run my project is not your concern. What should be your concern is to stop defrauding people. Did Brag3's brother self not run a mile when the whole thing turn nasty and you colluded with his sister to defraud him ??Paid you money to deliver materials, you absconded and started giving story. In the end I am glad the matter got resolved. My questions still not answered. WERE RODS AND CEMENT NOT TAKEN FROM MY SITE BY YOU/NEXTHOME ?DID YOU OR NOT PLAN TO COLLUDE WITH MY SECURITY AND ASK HIM TO LIE TO ME ON QUANTITY OF STUFF ON SITE ?? ANSWER THE QUESTIONS AND CUT THE CRAP !! |
@Brabus Summary [b]You cannot be trusted with money. You run a Ponzi scheme robbing Peter to pay Paul. You have failed to show us any qualifications you have, nothing but a glorified project manager. You have failed to show us any project you completed where it hasn't ended in a divorce before completion. You collect money from clients and don't pay workers, they start to fight/argue etc and in the end the client suffers because the work they do can sometimes be fraught with errors. You do not like to own up to your mistakes. You are very greedy even robbing poor artisans like bricklayers, iron bender etc of their money. These are ordinary people hustling, not buying multiple jeeps behind fraudulent activities. You like packaging too much, too much talk and no action, all built off the back of a fagggg packet (lies). You are very dishonest (would do anything to get the work, once you get it and money is in your hands, you start holding ransom). Too much lies (don't know where to start), one example for my site, he was supposed to use marine for the decking, and my pako for the side boards, he used my pako for 60% of the decking and paid for 150 planks for the boarding at the sides. The 150 planks is what took time to settle the seller and that one wanted to start removing the side pako from my decking despite the fact that 250k was paid for marine rental, had I known and not fallen for the deception, I should have bought my own pako, which was what I was doing for other materials. [/b] Like I said, me I am not here for revenge. Just revealing my experience. |
NL1960:That's what I was saying that in Nija, its not common for contractor to use their own money to do the work first, maybe with government contracts etc. But that's out of scope here. |
Of course I don't have any business with your suppliers , that's why I said I have had to call the woman to order. What I have a problem with is when they come to my own site and I have nothing to do with it. I guess a recent saga of a similar case was what caused a sleepover in a police cell last week. 300 bags of cement, I don't know the agreement between you and the woman. Current supplier, I don't deal with offloading that's included within the price. I have always settled testing people and I have records of payment. and If you are going to start going on with petty things, how about the 30k overpayment, have I mentioned that to divert away attention from the allegations on ground ?? How about the fact that you collected money for marine board and it was used for less than 30% of the decking, and I paid for 100% coverage. In order to move on, I have had to buy extra planks, spent over 500k on just planks alone excluding renting marine and then he gives me annoying excuse that planks were not counted when it was dropped to cover up for his own fraudulent practices. OR THE FACT THAT ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS YOU ASKED MY SECURITY GUY TO COLLUDE WITH YOU TO DEFRAUD ME ON THE MATERIALS BEING DELIVERED (CEMENT, NAILS, SAND DELIVERY), NOT ONCE DID YOU ASK THE GUY, BUT NUMEROUS TIMES YOU EVEN OFFERED HIM 10K CASH TO WHICH HE REFUSED BLANK AND TOLD ME EVERYTHING. Why why why Brabus. You are more than this now.... They say in Yoruba that "iso kekere ni eniyan fin ba nkan nla je" . You carry small mess spoil big things. I introduced you to 2 other people who used your services, do you EVER think I can recommend you again... Cant even recommend you to my worst enemy. Lastly everyone, did he answer the question on whether rods/cement were taken from my site. You see, I have keep quiet all this while, doesn't mean I am a fool. But like I said all I want for you is to admit your guilt. I have moved on since and learnt from it. |
Oga EgunMogaji If you read my post very well, you will see that I state that most but not all contractors will do work with their own money, BUT I was explicit in saying BRABUS will not. Is it someone who hasn't done the work when you give him your hard earned money that will do work with his own money without payment up front. @Brabus, like I said I'm not here for blood, I just gave you a constructive feedback. You need to change your ways, I don't even know where to start. I'm not blackmailing, I am just sharing my experience. that's all. Lastly you argue that all these were not there when you were handling the project, its easy to work out na, you were running a ponzi scheme of robbing peter to pay paul, so some of the stuff coming to my place then were nicked from somewhere else, and some of my own stuff were nicked to be taken somewhere else. And also how were you able to control cost, YOU FAILED TO PAY WORKERS despite getting payment from clients, do you know how many people come my site claiming this and claiming that, it sounds like a familiar experience, remember an earlier poster said you delivered iron rods to him when you collected money before hand, and then the supplier of the rods came to the site demanding payment from the owner of the site (Brag3). In my case, wood supplier threatened to take off decking planks before we casted decking after complaining of not being paid, and worse of it you told him that I was going to be paying him when this is clearly not true, you did that so that the guy can supply the wood because he said he didn't want to do business with you again . Can you guys imagine that kind of deception !!!! Some block seller came to my site saying they were told to come there for payment, when clearly I was arranging my own blocks. And you blame me for going DIY. If I didn't go DIY, maybe they would have been removing blocks and planks one by one. Cement seller calling me saying you are owing her and avoiding her calls, I had to call her to order that look whatever happened between you and her isn't my business. When I bought from her, I paid her up front. and you insisted I buy from her in order to improve your credit rating. When I heard this, I changed supplier sharp sharp because I knew stuff like this would happen. All this I have in writing, just don't have the time to be collecting screenshots, saving it on laptop and then uploading here. But If I am driven to the wall, I will do so for all to see. You want to argue about the materials again, I want you to say it explicitly on this forum that NO CEMENT/NO RODS were taken from my site. If you do, then I will decide on what to do next. |
Oga Brabus Always has an unbelievable excuse, you parked your van right by my site, I thought the thing was broken down, I didn't know it was being used to cart away with the materials that I bought. When I was told, I was really disappointed. I confronted brabus and he said that if I get a scientist, they will confirm that my foundation has used up exactly the number of bags of cement that I bought. Can you imagine hearing this from a grown man ?When I confronted him about my rods being stolen, he said they borrowed me some before so the ones being stole was used to backfill. Again, if a schoolboy told you this lie, you fit excuse am but hearing this from a grown man, Mba............ How much I paid to security isn't your concern, afterall it wouldn't help in situations where your engineer is STEALING your materials (he would simply tell security that its being used at my other site which happens to be that of a family member), if it was outsiders then I can confront security at the gate and question why they were being stolen, but if engineer dey thief its internal leakage, also how would outsiders start stealing bags of cement without the aid of a car. This was where your van parked 2 plots away was very valuable, I was told it broke down, when in real life it was being used to cart away with materials, now these materials is what he uses for other nairalanders to build their buildings. We should all pray that we should not build our houses with materials that has been cursed or swore upon. I get plenty stories about brabus oo, this is just the beginning. |
