If you have received honest service, please declare it in detail. When we hide good deeds, we allow our brothers and sisters to fall into the hands of unscrupulous elements like an empty barrel who has time ( unlike actual builders) to comment all day and everyday on this thread, always ready to deliver fluff.

If you have received dishonest service, please declare it in detail. When we hide evil deeds, we enable fraudsters to take advantage of others. Let us have compassion for each other, let us value each other’s sweat even though we are strangers. Pay it forward, the good you do brings it’s own blessings to you and to your descendants. If you see something, say something.

This is how we can self-govern this property section and weed out the charlatans amongst us and make this section safer for everyone’s money.

brabusng / nexthome / brabus / kobocity/ n3xt has proven that calling yourself a builder does not make you one. 10 + of his customers with no good testimonies cannot be lying

Power of attorney (POA) to represent a litigant / plaintiff in a law court? Since when did a POA include showing up in court in the plaintiff’s place?

Are there 2 kinds of powers of attorney in Nigeria?

I would really love to hear a properly called to bar Nigerian lawyer confirm (with references to our statutes) that your power of attorney can stand in your place in a Nigerian law court. Or is brabus / n3xt/ kobocity / nexthome / brabusng making it up as usual? When you are jack of all trades who knows everything, it just becomes a matter of how much gullibility is afflicting your readers.

qdlvy:


Having an attorney on retainer for a protracted civil court case is not exactly cheap. Plaintiff presumably decided this is a typical case of sunk cost fallacy and decided not to incur more expenses, mental and emotional investment into the case. Your entire point on this lacks logic.

Dumb and lame excuse once again. Excuses are the tools of the incompetent.

If someone truly defraud you, step out and do what real men do and stop crying like sissy men.

Irrelevant statement.
LOL! [s]You had to insert the 'begged', of course, to stroke your fragile ego.[/s] If I can take anything from that statement, it's that you probably took on a job you underestimated. [s]Not a sign of a business man that knows what he is doing.[/s]

Dumb! I’ve never had to go back for variation on any job. The job given was satisfactorily done and I chose not to take up problem that’s not mine. How is that a problem?

Finally, you're on to something. This is the only sensible thing you have said so far. I mentioned earlier this is very likely a civil case, not a criminal case. The characterization of the event might not be fraud at least in a legal sense. A contractor can agree to do a job, [s]job was done but with substandard materials and poor workmanship. While not technically fraud but not being honest either.[/s]

Thrashed.
At what point do you or the complainant realize substandard materials were used in a project done in phases?

Stop making up excuses bro!

With that said, there was some recording where you allegedly admit to refunding some money. To me, that's admission of guilt. Unless you want to disprove it is not your voice on those recordings. The recordings are still on the thread and YouTube. Those asking frankly stupid questions can do some reading and stop being lazy.

Dumbest part! What connection does the recording made in 2011 has with an issue that happened 2015? Are you this s.illy or just when I’m around?

Please get smarter next time and stop acting naija “Jack Bauer”

I believe you mentioned many pages ago you were arrested at least once. This is wrong in my opinion. Civil cases should not lead to an arrest. These are settled in magistrate court or small claims court. This is classic Naija-style bullying. Just pay the police to arrest anybody for any issue. The police know they can't hold anyone for a long time if not a criminal case unless they are being bankrolled by an heavyweight individual. [s]Next thing after release from police custody is court so your point as usual is nonsense.[/s]

I wasn’t arrested but kidnapped because there was no entry and X-squad was going to deal with the officer who carried out the operation but I let him go because I’m not a weak person.
The guy was only looking for his daily bread in a usual naija police tradition.

I don’t make up stuffs. Just ask for evidence and I’ll send them.

Well, [s]let's just say you've been embroiled in a shitload of complaints we have lost count.[/s]

And you have to cook up lies to establish the truth

Sigh!

You always get them on a technicality, don't you? Maybe you're smart after all.

And they always win on nairaland court filled with people like you.

I’m not dumb!

My advice for people - get contract signed on paper with an attorney present. Don't be a victim to technicality. Search people's names and aliases before hiring them.

I guess you chose to ignore the part where I shared how safe NextHome contract made them feel.

We can’t all be stupid at the same time.

Moreover, sign up a contract that protects you. NextHome only do milestone based projects. We don’t move to a new stage until the previous stage has been satisfactorily completed.

Nice try but filled with bickering and excuses as usual.

My job is to set the stage and watch for things that undermine result and it’s working very well for me.

A pro-builder building next to me is almost on the verge of loosing his job because of the way we are handling our project.

Thanks for the word of encouragement. It inspires us to do more.

@Mmotimo

For the records, NextHome only handle 2 major projects each year but because of you I’d double that number this year.

The only way I can respond to you is to show you what I’m capable of doing.

I intend to deliver my ongoing build 20 days ahead of schedule at no extra cost to my client.

_____

We are already 8 days ahead of schedule. We will hit the first floor slab by weekend.

I took no offense to your harassments It pushes me to crawl out of my shell and show the stuffs I’m made of.

Here’s something I’d do different though. I do help people with challenges overcome their area of shortcomings. Anyone can complain and point out errors like qdlvy
Only few smart ones can use their power to empower other people.

Even on my current build, some guys are understudying me and our processes at NextHome and they admit it’s different.


NextHome don’t and won't beg for jobs. Our difference makes a difference.


Just watch this space!

Our Design Process

Let me share this with freshers who want to make a difference in their world.

It’s from Advanced Baba Lati. Feel free to adapt.

We add value to others every day.

Let me drop this too for those who want to learn.

LOL “harassment” “shell”

A storyteller that’s always ready with stories, mostly imagined, fabu unlimited. You would have been entertaining if you weren’t so bereft of morals.

Textbook sociopath is what you are, it’s who you are brabus/ brabusng / kobocity / nexthome / n3xt. No real intellect either, fraudsters thrive on the trust of others because without trust, they would not give you their money. That you can deceive does not make you smart, it just emphasizes your absolute lack of a moral compass. A person who steals from others is a common thief, no amount of packaging can hide that.

The fact that you are back here peddling the same trade you did years back is testimony that crime does not pay. Imagine an armed robber being so desperate as to go back to the scene of the crime to rob again.

Your insecurity and lack of any self esteem or self love is what has reduced you to the poor, disgraced version of yourself you’ve become. You have been so oppressed by the monied all your life that you think stealing so that you can belong can gain you any form of credibility. Newsflash! Since you still have not gotten it. Fraud is not the solution. The day you learn to eat from honest sweat is the day you become a MAN!

Talking about armed robbers, that time the iron seller had you locked up for a couple of days? You really should know by now that crime absolutely does not pay

KolaShangOne:


Is it possible to use laser cut metal for burglary proof? Just thinking out loud.

How much is it per metre?

sure it will do the job perfectly. A meter of GenCut is 65,000

michlins:

I’m not really comfortable with laser cut metal as burglary though.

It’s more like trapping oneself indoor.

JWTheocracy1:
Hello my people. Please make una help me out. The gentleman I contracted to have my veranda work done told me this wrought iron is 25k per square meter. And the design alone in the second picture can cost as much as 22k. Who knows how true his quote is? And between i don't base at home, so I don't have any means to verify. I think is just too expensive. Nairaland is my only means of verification.

good morning sir. I don't know your location but here's what I can tell you, that thing is about #18,000 and I will charge a meter of it at least 32,000. If he charges you 22,000 nd you're sure he can deliver, pay him. Remember that when you buy this single item, you will buy something like the rod i attached about three to make it up a meter,then you will buy pipes with other materials plus your profit which is the main reason we all work. @22,000, I don't think anyone can do that job


The attached rod is about 3,000 each


modified

Come to think of it, let's assume he buys this for 22,000 like he said,is 4k enough to buy the wrought iron pipe and other accessories that am looking at there? The starter on the said picture costs about 18,000 each. Unless he plans on using square rod to bend the design, there's no way he can do that job at current price of materials. Be ready to drag this job with him well well

But I maybe wrong sha

colar2020:


I am here to say a very big thanks to MICHLINS for a fantastic job he did for my friend whom I recommended to him. It is good to be good. You made me proud as my friend is very happy with you and the job you did for him. Keep it up.

Thanks for the opportunity you gave me. Like I usually say, this is the pool of the best in Nigeria. He just recommended me to his friend and vouched for me that I will deliver even though he hasn't worked with me neither does he have a thing to gain from me.

And like always, I delivered a job he was proud of. Thanks for helping push me forward in life. I'm really greatful.


And to all of you who in their own capacity have been doing something to help out others, I pray you find grace and favor anywhere you go.

honesty pays. After telling a client the truth about the quality of your gate, he asked me to do same for him and I too cashed in

Please, is it necessary to felt bathroom floors (waterproofing) on upper floors of a building even when I would install floor drains and tiles?

yungmin:

If you can afford the best plumbing pipes and you’re buying your floor drains from reputable brands, there’s no need.

Otherwise, just do it. The extra cost is worthwhile.

The construction drawing is paid for differently from the approval . This bill looks fine to be sincere

I remember few pages back a user is requesting for professional Number then this came to my mind you won't be on this thread na.

Structural drawing for a Residential building max of 1 Floor will cost you around 450k-560k ..

Foundation drawing for Gantries , LPG etc will cost 1m above

Sewage system, pool, generator house around 350k note this sewage system will be d small type.

Consultant on your project for a month cost around 450k to regulate your contractor..

The fee above is a true value of how consultancy charge ..

Most client will also request for a site personnel which will monitor contractor. This guys are contractor nightmare at times..

my point is this place is meant for contractor where past job and what they can do brings d job .

Absolutely!
Pls waterproof. Look around you and you will see wet walls even in recent builds. be rest assured that they used floor drains and tiles and still..

Poor workmanship is another huge factor but whatever the case you should make plans to waterproof.

What is your plan for the upper floors? what are you doing differently? I asked question below about that recently, doing some consultations already and will share what comes up.

Cheers.

megacontrol:
Hello guys,

We are planning the casting of a slab that will serve as an outdoor rooftop terrace. this is not a roof slab but a fully exposed slab.

Pls what are the other options of treatment/chemical/admixtures that can be mixed with the concrete during casting to help the slab withstand all the harsh weather conditions it will be exposed to over a long period.

Note: Post-casting and during finishing, proper waterproofing will still be done and the surface tiled. Just thinking of a double/triple pronged mitigation plan.

Any recommendation/suggestion welcomed.

Thanks

The bolded is exactly how things should operate. But when you deal with cheap guys, everything becomes an issue. They’ll turn even the certified professionals into baba lati pro max

I once did a job here as far back as 2012, the clients were paying 300k per stage to the consultants double-checking my job. Their job wasn’t to criticize the builder but to make thing right and ensure there were no compromises. Everything went smooth because they did the right thing.

We don’t advance to a new stage without certification from the consultants (Structural, Mechanical & Electrical)

It’s just funny when you read from most people here handling a multi-million naira project yet choose to dodge paying professional charges.

The design fees you shared above are the reason I decided to build an in-house design team and provided them with resources and tools to deliver modern designs at the most affordable price.

It’s not because we are cheap. I don’t design for all-and-sundry but for my potential clients. When the job gets bigger, we outsource to partner firms.

Still very relevant!!

brabus:
Tools of the trade

It staggers me beyond belief when tradesmen turn up to do a job and they have no tools. No tools - Yes!
I don’t blame the guys themselves, it is their supervisors, the site manager or project owner. I had a computer engineer turn up to check my flickering monitor and all he had was a screwdriver and a bag of pirated software.

I think anyone planning to build a house in Nigeria needs to plan and therefore budget that you have to provide some of the tools needed. It sounds ridiculous! You may not need to buy all of it but if it is included in the budget, there will be no nasty surprise.

Now, here's the irony of the whole situation, the bricklayer without a tool may be the best worker on the project.

The lack of tools is explained by the fact that these guys may go for long periods with no work. They run out of money and sell or pawn whatever they can.

Here are few tools you can keep for your projects:

Bricklayers

1. Shovels/Spades
2. Wheelbarrows
3. Buckets
4. Diggers
5. Chalk line
6. Trowels
7. Concrete Hammer, Hammer Drill
8. Measuring tape
9. Saw
10. Pencils and jotters
11. Ladders/Scaffolds

Carpenters

1. Cut-off saw, Jig saw, Circular saw
2. Sander
3. Ladder
4. Levels
5. Wire Cutter
6. Utility knives
7. Planer
8. Measuring tapes
9. Plumb bob
10. Pencils and jotters
11. Angle

Concrete Workers

1. Cement Mixer
2. Concrete vibrator
3. Shovels
4. Buckets
5. Wheelbarrows
6. Screeder
7. Levels

Welder/Iron Bender

1. Rebar cutter
2. Pinches
3. Hand saw
4. Blades

That’s all I can think of right now.

Update:

I’ve added welding machine, welding generators, grinder to the welders list and also gun tacker and power drills to the carpenter’s list.

How long have you been working with Dan/Mountmoriah? I remember this same person was called up here before you signed up with NL (except you have a different moniker) and there was a conversation about his real identity and the name attached to his bank account.

I have been a silent guest member of this forum for many years, likewise so many people, this is the only moniker I have here, I have been following some people here since then, one of these people is mountmoriah, so I decided to patronise him, after a successful delivery, he begged me to leave feedback of my experience with him, so I decided to register.

The first time I transact with him, he gave me 3 accounts which I transfer money to, I ask him why, he explained to me that his daily limit of transferring money will affect the driver that brought the woods, the nails seller, and some other people that made the transaction successful, which is understandable, I don't have problem with that because I have seen what we bargain for, sending his money to him is not my problem. I did it the way him wanted it.
