Testify ke?

I’ve never been and will never be scammed in Nigeria. Trust is the currency of fraud. Since I have none then I’m immune.

My involvement was because my project was insulted as “Orule Abule” and I reacted. I’ve put on my big boy pants and shrugged it off now.

Please EgunMogaji is not available for court case.

Good morning.


Your request for an estimate for this building of yours is such an effort and time taking one.


You're seeking cost of construction from the foundation to the roof and that's a serious job given the fact that you've two building plans.

Why not engage a professional QS to do that for you?

They tried it but it never worked. Hence the cheap blackmails on a faceless forum.

They flew in from overseas to pursue a case against brabus yet nothing happened.
Their only resort is cheap blackmails.

If it’s not brabus hijack kobocity to himself... it’s brabus is a baba lati... or brabus stole N5m from a N4m project grin grin
Or a man who spent over 5 month building a house in another state defrauded his client by not supplying 2 windows grin

I’ve prayed for them from the bottom of my heart. May it be for all of you as you wish for me and the same for me too if I ever wish anyone bad. Amen.

Good morning all,
Attention @Mmotimo

I have been a silent member of Nairaland as far back as 2011 and i do frequent property section as well. This issue of Brabus this, N3xt that is becoming quite irritating, i agree he might have erred at one time or the other, if you have a cogent case against him please charge him to court. The way you go about this smacks persecution, more like you have personal axe to grind with him. Incase you don't know, you are indirectly giving him more publicity.
To be clear, i don't know him beyond his post here. My point again is if you have a case against him please charge him to court.

Salam (Peace)

Im just a willing DIYer the Pros who can answer your question are here, me I just did pay as you go on my build and adjust as I see fit and according to my packet at the time. What you can do is have a plan on how you want to go about this, Seek for the cost of how to start, ie your foundation costing,labour plus material cost up till DPC, then start from there.That one you see on mine has cost per stage but is was for a two floor plan but go fru it and see what you can learn from there.

Any local bricklayer can do good work IF they are properly monitored and compensated.

All the fancy work that we salivate on here from the big guys are ultimately completed by Baba Latis.

Monitoring and compensation is the key.

SolarConsultant:
Good morning Thread, it’s such an amazing time getting to learn a lot on this platform, this is to me more like a request to help in educating us about building roofs for the future of energy

Having been in the trenches of energy production from the sun, and by consistent study on the types of roof people use, I have actually observed they didn’t build with sun energy in mind, because of the slope, slants, geo-coordinates facing, and we should know well that the nearest future of energy generation for buildings is a sole or personal power generation, and the more we are critical about building to get the best energy from the sun the better and cheaper for every building or home, this is why most people spend a lot more than their friends, just because of no future mindedness of their roof as against generation of power from the sun.

I intended to help educate us on how to make the best out of roof styles and choices, before completing our buildings. This is really key, because generating power from the sun requires space, and most buildings don’t have ground space enough to cater for that, all they have is their roof, so why not take this as critical

Can I go ahead with this for the next few days, with detailed information and instructions before roofing buildings to make the best efficient use of it

wow, thank you for the warm welcome

Best Practices for Building Roof for Solar in Nigeria

In the world today we have seen a rise in the use of solar energy due to its reduction on cost of purchasing energy, and a cleaner self owned power production for most a duration of 25 – 30 years of the solar panel 100 to 80 percent drop in power production, meaning if you are in your 30’s now and you decide to go solar, you will use this system till you get to your 50’s and at that time for a good solar panel choice you can be sure it would have only reduced efficiency by at most 20%, that is amazing.

Lets go right into the discussion on building roof systems for your solar panels

Back in the day is when people build roofs for the purpose of protecting their houses against rain, sun rays, security, luxury and beauty, architectural great designs, even though all this are good reasons to build roofs they are fast fading away for the need of efficient roofing systems, to build not just to cover the house but to serve as energy for the entire house!, and this is amazing, that a house can use its roof to generate as much energy required to power appliances, is the real deal.

Now the new system of building for a forward thinking building or home owner will prioritize or implement best, calculated effort to build roofs to get the maximum power from the free gift God Almighty gave us from His Kingdom which was situated below His Heaven to Shine on both the good and the evil, enabling all to partake of His Grace in the very words of the greatest philosopher Jesus Christ.

Factors to be considered before building your roof or at least if your roof as been built, factors to consider to maximize what you have.

Orientation
Shade
Material
Age
Size
Pitch
In this post I will include only 3 of this then continue in the later post

Orientation: This is one of the most important point you would need to know, but before we talk about this you need to be educated about the way the way the earth revolves around the sun , ( or better we say sun moves )
Nigeria’s Average daylight is about 11hrs and sun hours is about 8 hours or more for northern states, meaning if there must be a place designed to operate solely for solar power generation its our blessed nation, please note that daylight is highly different from sunlight, daylight is just when the day is bright enough for movement and the sun is not really up yet, and that’s always around 6am to 5pm daily and in the midst is the sunlight when the sun is up proper, obviously you may have understood the difference by now, those windy and cloudy days are examples of normal daylight, even though that can also charge your batteries and power your home its not as significant or powerful as when the sun is really up. though if calculated correctly you can get the best from your daylight too.

for the purpose of this article you lets narrow down on sunlight hours, the sun hours are really from 9am – 5pm, and most sunny times are near the noon and after noon,

looking at the image above if the sun moves from east to west guess where is best to be the widest part of your roof?, obviously the south is the best so as the sun moves it always shines on your solar panels for best efficiency, and if you already have your widest place south-east its not a bad deal as such only that it may reduce your energy harvest from the sun about 10-20%, even though south facing solar panels are the best the second to it is south-west facing solar panels, you would notice the sun moves in the morning from the west and around 12noon – 5pm to the west meaning it can as well harvest a lot energy too.

please note that it doesn’t mean southwest facing solar panels wont get any energy as at 8am-12noon, it certainly will but not as much as a south facing solar panel

In the subsequent post you will get to know about other considerations before building your roof such as Pitch, Shade, Material, Age, Size.

Can you guys handle fumigation?

What is the average cost of servicing a split unit AC? in Lekki?

Are you guys on the Island?

If yes, are your technicians readily available to fix any repairs with respect to electrical and plumbing issues?

Except the issues get complicated with your AC and you need to get some materials, the average cost of servicing the ACs is 6k. You won't find this cheaper elsewhere.

Pls feel free to book your service on our website workaholic.ng and we'll send our technician over asap.
