Until some people get sense small.it is easy these days not to get duped,Do due diligence and ask questions, this has been repeated over 500 times, even that lawyer guy has a thread dedicated to this. We got good builders and very good builders here and very bad builders. We just have to be careful with whom we deal with. I am opportune to be the supplier and supervisor on my site I kid you not, I can just see how things can go terribly wrong if you are a contractor builder. My point here is simple, this issue is very old and well know, we all lashed at Brabus and moved on, However, this vendetta 2wards members here who dare to ask for this repeated talk to stop is unacceptable.I beginning to think someone somewhere is angry for a whole different reason.

Here’s my piece of advice just yesterday to a client who’s engaging one of the most reputable builder here on how to manage his multifloor project.

Forget all the theatrics, building ain’t for those with chicken heart.

Baba (silent follower), here’s an old timer (even class captain, Nairaland properties) corroborating what I told you yesterday.

for 5 years now? wetin make dem talk wey dem never talk? make the guy just jail Brabus make we all rest

Dem fit?

BrabusNG:


Dem fit?

Abi nahh make we all 4 drink water put cup down, Now ontop this matter person go create 10 ID .After dem think say nah only election this kin thing fit happen!

Knowing what I know now since I decided to be owner-contractor on my new build, Well it's not easy being a builder/contractor, Imagine the cost of materials going up 3 times a day, I experienced this with cement and Iron bars.I swear down if it was o be of my relatives handling the JOB nah SARS straight

somehow:

Serious allegation.

Was he the one that handled this?

We’ve done our parts and moved on. I chop ban on top the matter sef.

Shebi even the once sinking house is being lived in now.

On another note, it’s Brabus that is in the limelight on past issues, if you read some of the emails I get where customers are complaining about some of the big builders on here occurring today you’ll fear God.

Anyone can drop the ball. I’ve dropped balls on my builds too with no one to blame but me.

Smiles.

My current build has the owner-builder approach. The owner is the Project Manager and he appoints a private consultant to monitor day-to-day activities on site. So my reports here are just news flash. There’s someone taking notes and records of happenings every hour of the day.

The mistake most folks here make is to appoint a builder and make him “the skipper” and the “the umpire” on a project. The guy will just be awarding himself a penalty.

If you do the owner-managed approach, you’d be scoring an own goal every day.

I’ll share something interesting very soon. It’s about blocks. The owner of this build is supplying materials while his engineers are just using what he’s supplying.

Guess what! the blocks aren’t standard block sizes.

Pictures coming shortly.

Today, we're moving to site to start another tank stand for a silent fellow here. We hope to complete the job on or before Thursday.

Good morning and start frosty and always remember we're here to make your home safe and beautiful

Last year on a Friday I paid N2,600 for cement to site. Monday it was N3,700 (if you can find it) if I was still in the USA I would have assumed that those naija feefle want to 419 me

I wrote about these thing many years ago. It’s still very relevant.

@somehow I gave an answer to your question already.

The project is 100% owner-managed with the owner acting as the General Contractor picking subtrades, suppliers and workmen he like to do the job.

Brabus
I consider you to be one of the best on here. If not the best.
The truth is that despite all these allegations, I will still use you for my build when my money reach.
But for now
It's better you trash this talk once and for all.
If client brought you on to supervise the project pls talk.
If he made you to cut corners pls say.
Clients can be difficult sometimes.
I made my babalati to cut corners on one of my fence and it cost me.
I dare not blame him.
So pls bring on these people and trash this thing once and for all
Or
When they post pls stop quoting them.

Then I. Will trash talk some people on here
With all due respect.
Some of y'all are behaving like Hippocrates
I feel like mentioning names
But haba
Someone is derailing this thread.
Y'all can bring an end to this.
Bring both parties together and find an end to this issue.
Someone like egun mogaji is well respected by people on here. He can try to get both of them together.
These people still feel pain from their job with brabus.
And I am sure they can stop all these derailing if the bigger men try to settle it.

Imagine robosky bringing on a new mantra when this issue started
" All action and no talk"
This is obviously intended for brabus.
I think elders should always behave like elders.

Everybody just dey fuckup

BuildingProject:


I felt the same as well but he dais the king post is 20feet and he has also added the wood for logging of pop. I don't know what that means.

There is no justification for this inflated quote, please involve another carpenter to submit his quote.

With the way you are going, making a success out of every job you get, I will have no choice than to keep vouching for your integrity. I love to see young people doing well. Keep up the good work.

How can we all get back to learning how to build beautiful and cost efficient houses like we had when this thread started? Coming to this thread to read anything not connected to house building is tiring.
Happy weekend everyone.

BrabusNG:
Shey na by force!

Builders dey here wey dey beg for jobs up and down, please kindly patronize them na.

I’m just an hobbyist and a young guy having fun in early retirement.

Just 2 nights ago! What a shame!!!

This is coming from one of those who persecute us regularly

bros continue to expose them. Hypertension must finish them

In 2012, I gave this advice to one of the client who was all here to say I defrauded him by giving him fake building plan approval.

https://www.nairaland.com/1040620/building-nigeria-lessons-learned/2#12430452

You all know his name.

He created a new ID in 2016 to chat me up to take up his new project in Oko Odo.

He agreed contractor managed approach at the beginning of the project. As we were rounding up, he decided to change the terms of engagement and I step out.

The next thing was the fraud story.

They keep coming every minute to Brabus because they felt he can be intimidated with unproven nairaland fraud stories. Of course, the gullible ones will buy it.


______

These are people who have lived half of their lives abroad. I was thinking they should know better.

______

Thank God we built houses far bigger than what we are doing here before we started taking nairaland projects. The story for long

This was done nearly 4 years ago. Why the sudden rude awakening? beats my guts! Now anyone who advises that this issue should be left alone is labeled as one of Brabus moniker or taking sides with brabus.No worry very soon dem go soon say You be one of his monikers
if say my ID predates brabus I would have been labeled as such right about now!

It’s because we’re all tired ni. Can I cry more than the aggrieved because even QC1 himself posted once or twice and went away.

Hajji owner of the thread even stopped participating. He even tried to delete this thread many times by changing the title.

Don’t take our inaction as not caring it’s just that we’ve done that and been there already.

I chopped ban on top this matter, people called me hypocrite, etc

This will blow away too, they always do on here.

Shebi some Neanderthal called me a yahoo fraudster and a thief last week. No one came to my defense now. I just took it like a champ knowing that 25% of Nigerians are insane (according to WHO). A figure that I think is conservative.

It will blow away, no need for intervention. IMHO.

I just mentioned you again Brabus/n3xt/nexthome/Bosun. So Let's see what you've got......... If I stop writing about this issue, it will be because it has gotten so old and I have moved on. It will not be because you asked me to stop telling people about my experience..... As long as you or anyone mention my name, I will definitely respond not with lies but with the truth. The floor is yours now....Enjoy!

you certainly have not moved on and you could not jail brabus. Empty vessels make the loudest noise
