@brabus I'm curious to know what qualifications you have as a builder. Do you mind posting copies of your qualifications? @nairaland community, please indicate your support or lack of support for my above request. 8 Likes 2 Shares |

bugmenot: I'm sorry I cannot post any qualification here. But if a builder who is the conductor of an orchestra, the captain of a ship, the one who coordinates the innumerable workmen and materials needed to transform a set of two-dimensional drawings into a finished home. I think I am one. If builder is the one who ensure that everything happens just when it’s supposed to, and that the end result is exactly what the clients envisioned. I think I am one. If a builder is the one who ensures the house is built in the most efficient and cost-effective manner thus yielding significant cost savings. I think I am one. If the builder is the man who work with local planning offices and building control agencies to secure the proper permits, interprete building codes and carry out other related activities. I think I am one. If a builder is the man who has close relationships with quality subcontractors, a bargain hunter and a source of ongoing work for many contractors and suppliers alike, with price offerings lesser than prices offered to anyone else. I think I am one. If a builder is the man who creates and manages the project schedule. I think I am one. If a builder is the man who oversees the job to guarantee that all trades deliver quality work, knows enough about each specific trade, and has a good enough relationship with each subcontractor, to make sure things get done right. I think I am one. If a builder is the one who can undertake, prevent and resolve extremely complex issues that arises before, during and after each phases of construction. I think I am one. If a builder is the one with the ability to develop a well-honed management system for making projects happen, assembly great team to deliver project, attention to details, ability to work to little or no supervision, extensive knowledge of using latest products and materials, adaptability, ability to conjure great designs that expresses clients idea. I think I am one. All these qualities I possess. So to your question sir "Are you a paper qualified builder?" No. However, the company (NextHome) is fully equipped and registered in Nigeria to perform all of the above duties without any exception. 4 Likes |

Seun you need to come here and address this issue. This is your forum and a particular user has been using this platform to defraud unsuspecting clients unfettered. Whether you like it or not you owe users the responsibility to protect not only their personal data but also their engagements with other users. All social media sites like Google, Facebook even smaller forums like Reedit frown at users who post unsolicited messages or engage in criminal activities, they react by appropriating sanctions or deactivating the said account when necessary. Numerous clients have reported Brabus/NextHome along with others like Inspired Autos but nothing seems to be done about these reports and the victims are left to bear their losses while the fraudster goes ahead to defraud yet another unsuspecting person. When are you going to wake up to your responsibility and treat Nairaland like a serious enterprise? Today? Next month? Next year? When exactly? Is it when these victims start committing suicide? Or when it becomes a national disaster? Is it when they finally defraud your family member? Seun when exactly will you leave your cradle and start taking charge?  Myspace was the number one dating site on the internet 15 years ago until fraudsters invaded it and today when people hear of Myspace the first thing that comes to their mind is fraud. Match.com, craigslist and many other vibrant social media sites are now a shadow of themselves because of fraudsters, but most importantly because the management of those websites failed in their responsibility to take users petition seriously until they lost confidence in the management. I urge you to take charge now before it is too late. To be before warned is to be before harmed. 6 Likes |

brabus: Seriously? Brabus, my stairs are still not well fixed sir and last time I checked........ I paid you to get a sturdy and solid steps (stairs) but this is what I get. About 4 nairalanders visited the site and they all complained to me bitterly about the steps....So since you claim you do the above, I will need you to come or send competent person to my site so as to get this issue taken care of ASAP instead of throwing advices from distance. I will let nairalander judge if this is how steps should look. You all be the judge. I rest my case. 3strikes! 1 Like

gabbytabby: It is the issue. When hospital attendant become a consultant overnight, there is a problem. People are being asked to do job above their competencies. The outcome is what you see here. A professional will be guided by the ethics of his profession. A quack has nothing to fear. A professional can have his license revoke. A quack has nothing to lose. Nexthome and others with passion for building should have competent and certified professionals in their team. 1 Like |

wanaj0: In a typical construction project, there are lot of people involved from the architect, the surveyor, the builder etc. The builder does not handle all the work. Other professionals are involved. There are clients I've worked with here on nairaland who has to employ the service of consultants (electrical, mechanical and structural) who has to inspect and certify every stage of construction before the builder progresses to another stage. There's Lagos state building control agency who issue certificate of fitness. There's Lagos state material testing laboratory who check the quality of all materials and concrete mixes. It's not enough to assume we've employed a builder who's both the player and the umpire. Edit: Just surprised that a lot of this issues are been reported by our brothers and sisters in diaspora who are supposed to know better. 3 Likes |

Enough is enough! How can you treat this Brabus guy with levity? He openly admitted that he is not a professional builder and nothing is done about it? How can you allow an automobile mechanic to do the work of a medical surgeon just because he told you that he knows how to decouple the heart of a 2015 Range rover engine? How can you allow such indolence to continue to ravage our collective intelligence? Now, the above questions are directed to the professional building engineers and other building professionals (Architects, electrical, mechanical and structural engineers) here on Nairaland! Enough of all these sentiments, you need to act now!!! Here's my suggestion to the professional builders. 1. Build an uneditable page/list of reputable builders here on nairaland. Ensure that the page/database is searchable by all including prospective clients. 2. Ensure that a client or anyone can verify the CV of all professionals through the necessary building authorities. You can start from here, then add other requirements as time goes on! These will solve the issue of quack builders or reduce it to a very minimal occurrence and also help get the right professionals out there to the world of prospective hardworking clients! And moreso, a typical building contract template should be available for clients and others alike! 6 Likes |

From what I realize on dis forum, giving out rough estimate abt a project is one problem , let me explain why, a client will call for a precise amount to construct a building and someone out of greediness and selfishness will quote what will cause himself problem and he will want to meet up his own gain in large, it's not that Brabus can't offer his best but what I sense was he was only trying to cash up his gain in large hereby giving out a quotation that can't sustain good productivity on a building construction, builders should learn not give out a rough estimate, don't work on a rough estimate , if it works on one person's building , it doesn't mean it will work everywhere... Money is very cunny and can deceive u when giving out ur services, I can tell u that even an experienced builder can do better than a qualified builder who owns a certificate, gift of the brain is different from each other.. Let's forget abt 3million will work on a 3 bedroom flat 4m will dis and dat, I just laugh when I see such on dis forum, we ain't kids and we should all leave out our personal problem from whatever services we offer, I can tell u a lot of doctors who were trained in the higher institution will have a mortality records in his medical field than a trained nurses who was just trained by Someone, some are gifted with ideas that can always work perfectly in wherever thy find theirselves, if u want to offer a project to someone pls don't agree on a rough quote and be always sure to have a close knowledge of every stage ur project gets to and let him be very free to discuss anything with u.

@brabus Does being able to prescribe medication for headaches over a long period of time make you a doctor? In my opinion, building is not like learning a trade where you sit with a trader and learn the tricks of the trade till you become independent. By your own admittance in your long epistle, you have no qualifications as a builder. One question then - are you able to reveal to us who trained you as a builder so s/he can at least attest to your competence or otherwise? 2 Likes |

befto: How will a complete review make the staircase safe? The staircase issue needs to be resolved. Brabus should convince us that the staircase meets standards. If it does not meet standards, what does he plan to do to correct it or does he plan to make it the client's burden? If nothing else, it has a direct relationship with his integrity. |

The professional bodies would usually have a list of their members. I think all seun can do is decide if someone can continue to be a member of nairaland. Despite what he says Brabus is not a builder all he does is coordinate the process ie project manage and for that you can use transferable skills from another sector and get better on the job. In 9ja even some with the paper qualifications do not have sufficient experience or competency. |

A lot of people need to understand something today here , at a point in life we all need to choose where and what we can fit best in service delivery and other aspect of life, a lot of people here will not know dis, I did share an experience about my family involving a project given to my brother by our own blood sister living abroad who tried all possible best to support the family , how my brother messed up her project and embezzled from it while he had a perfect construction on his own building project , it's not that he can't deliver the best but let's chase out the word "greedy" and maybe we will get a good product, even many industries today limit their quality to gather quantity , Brabus might not av a certificate but he did have his best but he would av done better if he had not taken to the word "greedy" , u might be surprise a time in my life I had to go on a flight booking and reservation training under With Sabre platform from one of the best aviation school in Nigeria with great standard I must say but I don't need to say everything here cos lots of yahooscamerboganties here  Their days are numbered I must say , so please let's work together as one and be very decent an open at what u do, give a good product in ur services and don't allow greed to take over ur dignity, if u fall once it will be hard to get up again , our country Nigeria is surviving with everybody trying to make an income but why can't u consider the person who is trying to offer u a food by offering u a contract, so many people will go hungry to av a house on their head, so many will limit their food to get dis done.

Mr. Brabus - You are a Fraud!!! An arrogant and unrepentant 419. What are we saying and what are you saying? You did a wrong job and the client is telling you but all you could say is that "Nairaland needs to review the entirety of Brabus/Nexthome" Brag3 issue is still there where you were the lead actor. You are shame. Soon you talk of going to church/service/redemption camp. You are remorseless and shameless!!! I pity your clients. I don't blame you.

It happens even in our today's politics, someone who knows nothing abt road will get a contract from the government and give his best , but one thing is just that he might av averted dis problem for himself if he had listened to complains and advice by other nairalanders , don't be too big to take advice even from a baby that can talk. Take away rudeness,greediness and humble yourself , u can't perfect it all alone, we all need a hand in whatever we do, share with people who knows better than u do, there is a Yoruba proverb that says ka fi owo we wo, ni owo ma n fi n mo, pardon me I can't speak proverb very well, Brabus u can do better if u can be very honest at what u do, I don't know u , u don't know anyone of us here but The truth is dat , u must learn to take advice and never allow I mean allow it selfish interest to overcome u, even if u av just 1kobo as ur gain be happy and satisfied , ibukun oluwa Ni mu Ni laa lai se laala, rather than risking people's life when there is no enough cement to hold a building from collapse , change and be sorry for what u av done.. |

ANBAKO: To call Brabus a fraud is a compliment. He is much worse than that. He/his cowboy outfit masquarade as builders with ethics and con alot of people (mostly in diaspora) out of their hard earned dosh. He seems to have alot of clients abroad who fall for his sales pitch and once the dollars hit his account he shows his true colour. I am surprised he has been allowed to continue his work on this forum which is one of the avenues used by our people abroad to search for good workers. Brabus what will it take to change your ways. Based on all I have read here and other clients your days look like they are numbered. You really need to change your ways and seek forgiveness bro. Life is too short and you don't want your kids paying for the sins of their father. Stop conning people and do something that you are good and qualified at. IT consultants still make a very good living. 1 Like |

Folks, All brabus said above are true. We had no choice and freaking knows nothing about builiding...He drove us to the middle of the ocean in a sinking boat only to be left hanging....and what will you do? I guess you will use all available means to stay alive right? Thats what we did. BTW If you have fixed the stairs we recently complained about then thank you very much. Now, you all should not get too excited cos there will be no long review and no need for pop corn....the facts you need to know are: 1. How likely are we to recommend friends and family to Nexthome / brabus? Answer: Never! 2. Are we going to give or involve nexthome/ Brabus in our next project Answer : NO! The write up will be a waste of our time for someone who always have answers even when they are wrong. Someone who is never ready to say we are sorry how can we make ammends so as to keep you a happy customer. For the record bosun is not owing me any penny except he wants to reimburse me cos I had to pay 250k extra to fix plumbing which he told me was done. Paid 180k to fix electrical conduit / piping. The roof was another headache.....like someone said Bosun is very good at throwing advices / fixes from distance...things didnt get done as promised...but I used some of his advices to get my self from the middle of the ocean and now that I can see the shore....i think its safe to let others know that they need to be very careful when choosing their contractors. Lastly, This is not a malicious writeup. Bosun can choose to do two things with it. 1. To either learn from all these constructive criticism and make a very good and honest comeback 2. Or be defensive about it and not get the big picture... We have moved on as you can see ...in this business your 1 number goal is to create happy customers which you didnt do with us. Going back to bed now....still sleepy! Over n out....3strikes! |

Such a shame that this has repeated itself again. My previous encounter with Brabus has always been start excellently and quickly peter out and finish very weakly with lots of controversy. No need to rehash no encounter. @OP I have been in your boat before with Brabus...cut your losses and move on. That's what I did back then and I was the better for it. We advised him on how to change and be a better project manager, I can see that he didn't quite take our advice.  3 Likes |
