I can relate.
I have seen MANY THINGS in this filed
May be after I retired at old age I will WRITE A BOOK about Nigerian artisan or how to deliver project successfully in NIGERIA.

Just last week one of a family friend ask me to handle a project for him I turned it down not bcs he will not pay me BUT he is kind of person that doesn’t understand that to deliver a project successful in Nigeria required a lot of sacrifice and patient in most cases …. So my MENTAL HEALTH is paramount to me now.

I paid someone to deliver doors to my site it’s results to stories upon stories after I have paid him since February but i need to protect my name, so I dole out another 200k from my pocket to another person to deliver the remaining doors
The client is here to testify to this.

At times family member of cleint will ask you have a deal of moving materials out of site with you …. You need to use your sense here.

Some will have evil plan against there relatives ( your cleint ) so that the project will not be completed... haaaa black man.

So many things.


Hummmm, rotech please do. These challenges are real, some of you that work with me that never meet or even know who I am, may not know the reason you do some of the jobs you do for me in some of my projects. There are some respected trustworthy engineers on this platform. Many of them are silent, showing up once a while doing great underground without any noise. If man talk waiting him eye don see with these artisan ehn, artisan carry materials money do naming ceremony, anther one take do wedding, take money buy keke maruwa, plumber carry friend money start pure water business, not only in construction ooo. The worst one is clearing agent, collect money do wedding. When my friend was supposed to pick his car up na hall the guy dey doing party with the money, my brother party scatter that day.

Hello guys, am not an Engineer or Builder but can someone give me an estimate for this below. My friend abroad is asking me. She feels her engineer cheated her. Thank u.


Can you roughly give the estimated amount when one wants to do the decking of a 2 storey building and the parapet for roofing?

Floor plan of the house is needed for engineer or builder to give a rough estimate

Sorry chief, we are using basecoat and the materials has been supplied.
The screeder wants to source extra workers around to complement the few he would bring due to transport cost.
The screeder would learn how to apply basecoat if he doesn't before.

New Project Alert 🚨

Today, I pop into our upcoming project site to see what’s happening around me.

If you live around Ikeja, you cannot but notice Alausa Heights which is one of the biggest thing happening in Ikeja as of today.

I’m happy to inform you that we’re bringing you something bigger, cleaner, safer and something that’ll also give you higher ROI pretty close to Alausa Heights.

Watch out!

It's a beam supporting another beam.


Sometimes architect design buildings in such a way that putting a column at some positions may distort the aesthetics or circulation of the building. In such situations,the structural engineer can design the beam to be supported by another beam at such positions to eliminate the need for a column. Such beams act like invisible column(s). They are structurally capable of supporting the beam and the slab loads.

How are dey supported?

I had the column removed in my build in order to optimize the ground floor parking space design from the aspects of column network layout.

For me, it’s a case of choosing functionality over form (aesthetics).

Not having a well structured column layout can/will affect a car’s turning radius in a multi dwelling apartment.

Good morning all, trust you’ve all been well. Avid reader of this thread. I’ve learned a lot over the years.
Please I need extra set of eyes on this quote for roofing a 3 bedroom using Strong “Ghana” zinc.

2 X 6 = 10
2 X 4 = 230
2 X 3 = 250

Please what do we think?

Good morning bro! Trust your weekend was eventful?

I want to know how you arrive at the conclusion that the quantities are fair without seeing the roof plan.

Even if the footprint of the house is just (which is quite small for a modest 3 bedroom bungalow), I doubt the quantity of the wall plates (2 by 6) will be enough except he’s planning to use 2 by 4 as wall plates or probably I’m missing something.

DUNKA:
It is quiet unfortunate that people still deal with Bosun (Brabus). He is a confirmed fraudster and chronic criminal.

I transferred agreed sum of 100K to him for Architectural and Structural drawing in 2014. He acknowledged this payment. He did unprofessional, unsigned and unsealed drawing which was rejected immediately.

I complained about this matter on nairaland when he was not picking my calls again. He called me immediately to beg me that we should settle it offline. He begged me not to post on Nairaland again and promised to refund the 100K.

Ctrl click the link to see the trend of our conversion on nairaland (Re: Nexthome Official Complaint Thread). He pretended as if he is real claiming he will pay me the 100K that week. He have being buying time claiming he will pay when he have money.

He suddenly send sms to me offering to pay 60K as final payments in two instalments. I told him to pay the 60K at once. This is over 5months.

Now, he is saying he doesn’t have money and cant even advise when exactly he can pay.

It is quiet unfortunate that such person like Bosun (Brabus) claims to be a profession and keep duping people.

This is sad.

Everyone dealing with Bosun (Brabus) are taking greater risk.

He is a fraudster and criminal. My experience with him is sad.

He can comment on this if I lied against him or if he disagree that he is not a fraudster and criminal.

A WORD IS ENOUGH FOR THE WISE.

Kindly use the SEARCH BAR and you will be glad you did.

You can also ask questions about the person here PUBLICLY.

DON'T LOOSE YOUR HARD-EARNED MONEY TO A FRAUDSTER IN DISGUISE.


'You did not know' is not an excuse.
