Note - this is an example only, I do not know anything about the username I searched and I am not in any way suggesting that individual has done anything wrong.
When asked to provide evidence against brabus in court of law, my fictitious N5m complainant has stories like yours above to share.

The magistrate told him he’s yet to convince the court on his own case grin grin he’s busy bringing up baseless accusations and told him why do people abroad felt they can just treat their folks back home anyhow.

There’s no point wasting time searching and teaching people how to do it. We refer those in touch with us to check out our previous builds and we are never in a rush to delete our old posts or change our user ids.
Wahala for person wey hin daily bread dey nairaland.

Just come down to Nigeria with your nairaland evidences grin against brabus and stand as a witness to nab and prosecute him.

For 10 years, all I see here is bunch of cry cry overgrown babies and attention seekers.
Most of my clients aren’t really the issue but marauders who make them feel like they’re dealing with a devil grin thus making them to abandon their life goals in pursuit of frivolities.

______

Just imagine, someone calling his contractor who built a N18m house a fraud because of windows that were not supplied by a subcontractor engaged for the job.

Evidences proved the subcontractor absconded with money. Police went to raid the window contractors shop and confirmed there were windows in the shop but incomplete.

Evidence show that we paid 400k directly to a new window contractor because the client cannot wait any longer.

Evidences show that the 18m house was built without compromise within 60 days.

But the client who couldn’t do anything to another contractor who messed up his personal residences which were flanking Brabus build said Brabus is a fraud.
Just imagine what would happen if the roof of a project brabus did is leaking, let alone rusting and roofs of 2 whole buildings had to be removed after 1 year after installation.

grin grin grin

Just mention one project given to brabus and he did nothing or ran away with money.

Just one!

The chateau at Ile -Oluji

Like all the others, it began with a lot of glitter but sticky fingers don’t stay still. Here is the link to that escapade when story story started


https://www.nairaland.com/1338637/chateau-ile-oluji-construction-journal/36#20003240

As you can see, no shortage of audacity, asking for additional 400k so that he can pay the gbese owed to the same client small small. Where is that post again that talked about his fetishness, planting juju on his clients’ sites.
Wow!

You are talking about the same client whose roofs done by another builder were removed within 1 year of install.

Roof of 2 house done in Diamond Estate by another contractor were removed within one year and it didn’t make a headline news.

I’d like to know what they did to the person who roofed the two houses whose roofs were removed after one year of install. Please kindly help dig and update us.

The 400k variation on a N18m carcass delivered by me was requested for the supply of windows when our window maker ran away with money. grin

For the records, I delivered the my part of the project (the design and the carcass) and learnt from that project not to give monies to window contractors to fabricate windows offsite for me any more.

I invested heavily in tools of trade for aluminum window grin

Maybe brabus get / n3xt / brabus has changed his eeerrrmm “business strategy” so why not give him a chance? After all, a non remorseful braggart who came online to mock his victims’ pain could be a changed man.

Well, minimum 2 people that later became victims gave him a chance and we got their testimonies afterwards. The second gentleman says he spent millions to fix the sinking house brabus / n3xt built him. Yes, actual SINKING, the house was basically going into the ground. Maybe brabusng / n3xt / brabus was not given enough opportunity to prove himself though? Maybe it’s all these victims that were the problem? Sure, go ahead and manufacture that logic in your brain.

If you work for your money, don’t let them swallow you up with packaging, do your research well.
Sigh!

Next time, just provide a link to the thread. I’m sure you know all Brabus projects from start to finish are still on nairaland and no single post deleted.

I’d like those hurting to heal and all new homeowners to learn.
Just take your time to visit the thread and kindly follow up the project from start to the end. That’s why we keep a construction journal for all our projects.

There are lot of lessons for new homeowners on that thread.

_________

I once heard Brabus took 25m for the project grin grin grin Hmm! Anyone can claim anything but when you dig deeper you’ll find the truth. Truth is constant.

The build route for the project was 100% owner managed. This means the client provided the materials and labors where necessary to handle the job. Brabus only handled a few part outsourced to him (hire of marine boards, supply of carpenter and iron bender).

Liars (I mean haterz) will always do anything to make their story sweet. This includes starting a story from the end grin

Don’t be too lazy to check the thread, read comments and contributions of valued followers. All of us can’t be stewpid at the same time grin

you see the last paragraph says it all about your success thus far. Usually, other Builders with still inflate the Reinforcement bars despite the fact thant the Delta didn't affect them. #GREED
Smiles.

I know Cement is sold 3500 in the open market but I also know I can keep the figure at N3,000 by sourcing directly from trade partners.

I know sandcrete blocks are sold in the open market 230 - 270 but I also knew a “N30 - N70 off each block will give my client some savings to accommodate unexpected twists during construction.

I know granite is sold 230k in Lekki but I also know I can leverage my goodwill to get something good at a reasonable amount.

I know the cost of formwork and paying for carpenters can be very overbearing in time likes this. I provided shutters and marine boards for almost half the cost of buying the same for the project thus eliminating the need to buy pako, pay carpenter, buy nails just because of something that can be done cheaper/faster by an efficient builder.

I know I can do hand mix during certain stage of construction but I decided to have a concrete mixer on site to use at every time we need to do a concrete pour. If nothing else, it saves time and gives a better mix.

The essence of all these is to keep the project going without breaking bank and also create a win-win relationship.

Adding a dump truck in not too distant future will give us a huge leverage over competition.

True, sand is the only material that is cheap in SE. Did you know that a 10ton trip of laterite ( red sand) is 8k? Every other thing is expensive, even labour despite high unemployment. There is a project for duplex on ground now but builders price is still holding it. Considering logistics, if you were able to efficiently work over there, part of the problem for this project would have been solved.
Wow!

With a very good planning and material management in place, a builder/contractor can improve construction efficiency.

Planning is everything.

I always spend the first week after signing any contract planning each stage of work with my construction crew. We always examine individual needs of each tradespeople at each phase of the project. We check the deliverables and the dependables (what needs to happen for ‘x’ to happen).

With a good plan in place, a builder/contractor/homeowner can successfully orchestrate the management of people, processes, materials, and equipment without worries.


The work is like fixing a jigsaw puzzle.

______
Though there’s price increase, we never had to worry because everything has been adequately taken care during the pre-construction planning stage.

We understand the critical nodes and dealt with it as soon as we see the red flags.

For instance, we took care of major reinforcement in our build when we realize there’s almost a 15% increase in the price of iron rods. Today, it’s almost 30% increase within the space of 2 weeks.

Planning is key!

Vibrated blocks are more expensive, however a 9" handmade block at 35pieces per bag is equally good.

Here is what I know for SE location for those doing kobo kobo projects.

10bags of cement .............#3300 x 10 = #33000
I 10tons of white sand for blocks ..........#16000
Labour for moulding is #900 per bag x 10 = #9000
Water . ...............................................................#2000
Total ..................................................................#60,000

#60k divided by 350block is #171.50 per block
Wow! This is good.

Unfortunately, we are not using hand mould on this project and 10 tons of sand is almost 35k here.

I asked one in January. I guess he’s still looking for thousand ways to cover up his fictitious N3m naira lies.
