skimanski:
Email me at skimanski4life@yahoo.com so that I can email you a total breakdown of cost

Oga skimanski please email me the total breakdown of this house too at this email address; keem4ever69@gmail.com


Thanks.

May your life and your generations experience the pain QC1 in particular is going thru. May thier lives be used to play kalolo as you have playedwwith with peoples sweat here in nairaland and elsewhere. Say Amen to it!

[size=14pt]Amen.[/size]

agarawu23:
sir, you aren't getting it.

Go dump N27M into the lagoon then come back to convince me. I think I will get it after that!

agarawu23:
I must be honest, some of us aren't helping issues here and all we can do is to attack and attack but we have no impact to make financially.

At least he is paying it bit by bit as agreed by him and oga mervverick. Should I copy links from business section and show how ppl lose hundreds of thousands constantly without refund?

Same way I adviced Oga qc1 to deal with brabus offline so he can come to the site to fix the errors but he chooses to listen to "ariwo oja" and these noises won't add a damn to his wallet cos everybody have what they are using their money for. Yes! Ppl will condemne him to make his clients angry but nobody will support u financially here to clean up the mess.

Oga 3strikes, assuming your building he (brabus) built for u collapse (God4bid) what will u say o? Take him to nta or AIT? Or start looking for him unclad ? I read where u said u have to forgive him when u saw the house with your two eyes so is he that worst?

Please let's stop the condemn blame game and move on.

Anybody that make u sad today can make u smile tomorrow.

Same way my co workers condemned my boss to be a wicked man when I was first employed to his company. I didn't take it from them becos the man was good to me till date and ii am still looking for the wickedness in him. They knew what the man doesn't like and keep on doing it and u want him to laff with u?

In other words it's fair to pray that may God deals with you as brabus deals with his clients?

brag3:
All good.

We (Brabus' victims) are still standing strong. Nah we dey very resilient.

I just hope this thread helps to prevent others from losing out like we did.

Life goes on and I hope QC1, yourself and others resolve any outstanding issues.

I'm going to need more than N2m to safe the property.

EgunMogaji:
I apologize.

What's going on in your build almost brings me to tears. I've said this before.

Apology accepted.

I need all the prayers I can get. May God help us all!

EgunMogaji:
I've been called a #Hypocrite and Agbaya by some because I supported this builder. Not sure that I earned that label. Yes, I supported him but would not do business with him or recommend him because I knew. But he comes up with interesting ideas. I now know that just because he didn't steal from me shouldn't make me keep quiet.

I read and knew all of this because I read it all when I was starting my build, I'm a research person.

The premise that I was going on was that "hey if I knew his character inside of 30 minutes of research, then why can't others?"

The answer is that the properties section has a lot of traffic, so threads get pushed down into oblivion quickly. Look at 3Strikes, an avid consumer of the properties section - he didn't know, look at QC1 - not only that he didn't know of the reputation that was already existing on here but he also went further to recommend him to others. Mavverick is also an avid consumer of property section, he too fell in.

It's all about information. I will make sure that the information on all builders good and bad will be up. I'm choosing to start on the bad one, the only bad one we have on here (I think Johnny has moved on). I will also highlight the good builders in due time.

Stay tuned, let's still stay in 2011 for now.

Please take time to watch the YouTube videos. Upon all the bravado online in real life he's just #Blabbering #Uncoordinated #FlabberGasted #Broke

^^^

Don't we owe it to each other to have others' back? You've supported this dude way too far. I used to wonder when enough was enough with you laughing at his victims! Remember, what goes around, comes around, one way or the other! Does he have to defraud you to speak the truth about him? For what it's worth, I actually thought you were his partner in crime because you've promoted and supported his fraudulent schemes way too far on this forum. You and I both know it's not easy to hustle for the little cash you earned in America, just to lose it all to that Mofo!

I think it's a new day. You must have met with God to exposed him at last!

Because we fell into his fraudulent business does not mean we can't help others not to be his next victims.

Cheers.

3strikes:
Someone on this forum always say " Remind me not to play poker with you sir" ............... Now i know its sarcasm at its best.

beedam:
I'm good, hope you are too?

I'm still surviving.

beedam:
if you did all the above before , what now happened in Qc1 house? I don't seem to understand!

Try and meet with him so as to save the house from sinking further since you built the house. Biko!

How are you and where have you been?

kino47:
yes nah because what is left to say about you or haven't you noticed that you have finished yourself. all lies and mistrust no integrity KOBO.na ur kids i pitty for after you destroy that name you will leave it for them to contend with.

BIG UPS to all the sincere engineers in the house SHOUT OUT to spyder,segcymor,segzy14,skimanski and lafolabi and co.

QC1 God will see you through and by his GRACE it will be resolved. the computer scientist will meet his match very soon you just hold on OK the only engineer have seen using 6inch block for foundation of a building going up, WHAT AN IDIOT.

Thanks bro.

twinskenny:
The house sank so fast...wow

Actually it sank within 6 months and stopped. I may be wrong.

People, the truth to the matter is that my house and the one before me are the only houses in the area having problems. Even the house opposite mine is just fine. The problem I'm experiencing was because my quack builder made a mess of the raft from "get-go" As you can see in the pix posted so far, the level of the house( DPC) is equal to the level in the compound. when it rains the water get soak and trapped. By the time I do the tiling and the leveling and cementing the compound surface this should be okay. If you look at those pictures very well then you can conclude that the house have stopped sinking (at least since roofing). check out the pix before and after Bosun started filling it with laterite. I will try to do the water drainage and remove the laterite and replace it with sharp sand before covering the compound with cement after this raining season. I have a well in my compound that shows the level of the water in the property. I'm using this reference to deal with the water. I will have to ultimately keep the water out of the compound because my property is at the end of the down-slop street. Thank God that the strreet is merging with the other side and the merge road is almost completed. The omonile will have to construct a canal drainage soon and I'm willing to help on this.

To cut the story short, I will be better off if Bosun/brabus/Nexthome was competent enough to see the challenges and raise the raft to 5 or 6 boards instead of 4.



I just hate a quack giving ideas here and run his mouth off every time. I'm not a engineer but I have a common sense, the only mistake I made was to hire brabus.[size=14pt] Don't buy into his misrepresentation scheme. he's a quack!

[/size]

n3xt:
Bros, I was with you all through the project except during block work but I cannot stop you from doing your thing.

Are you saying the students weren't on the site? And I didn't called you not to mess up this project?

Also, the people in pics? Are they my bricklayers? They're another set of bricklayers your brother brought when the students were sent off. Look at the face very well. They're from Ikorodu. Beside, I don't use old men!
Please compare them with people who did the ground floor or any of my project.

What else?

The raising of the parapet? I gave you boys who worked for you when you promised to fix the drainage before leaving the country.

First you said the brick layers were student then you said the students were sent off and now you said the brick layers in the pic posted were old men, you don't use old men? But you were given the old men labour money and the money to supervise them, abi? why contradicting yourself?

[size=14pt]
You're a fraud and a liar![/size]

babalose:
@qc1....are you saying that it is brabus that recommended you fill the compound with laterite?

YES. Not only did he recommended but carried it out. I just paid for it.

n3xt:
Bros, this are all lies!

All pics are not showing Brabus filling your site. It only shows the excavation of your fence which was done by you. The guy was just standing observing and he told me about the development and I visited the Sunday after only to find you inside the gutter with the a.bokis.
At least you remember mumuni and his team who excavated the fence and sandfill were brought by your brother. Or is it me? And Kunle Indomie is your bros pally? He's the one paying him? So why drag me into it?

Can you send the date on the last pic?

Thank God for pictures.

I've posted the sand filling before the decking reinforcement and I've posted your pic with me and your associate on the decking moreover I've posted a pic with your associate at the roofing level.


May God punish this fraudster !

brabus claimed that the 2nd floor blocks were laid by some student. The pic below shows brabus/Bosun/ Nexhome associate supervening the professional brick layers he duped N20,000. Again do those guys look like students as he claimed? If they were, then why are you supervising them? SMH.

If you look carefully the last pic above was more than 2 years ago ans the last pic here was just 3 months ago. Brabus was called back to do the roof but again, he tried to defraud me and I was lucky to quickly let go of him this time.

Since I've started the DIY, I really thank God because it could have been worse with brabus in control. The only problrm I'm facing with this project is the level of the foundation brabus made for me. Instead of him to be remorseful he comes out here to lie.


The last pic shows the level of the house currently.

n3xt:
Bros I don't have to do all this one with you.

So, I'm off!

You can post pictures of the Sandfilling that I did with Kunle Indomie. And the pictures of the professional students in school uniform (white shirt and gray trousers numbering about 30) that did the upper structure. Are they the ones Im supposed to pay 20k. Did I engage them?

And the 300k fence budget that you gave me which you claimed I ran away with.
Bros remember I came back on Sunday morning and I saw you inside the gutter with the Abokis doing your drainage and fence.
I should have taken pictures. I never ran away. I came back saw you and walked away.

You know I even had to pay your blood brother as a supervisor. How much more workers?

I'm not saying you're lying but it seems you forget things so easily.


Brabus

This are some of the pic i have for now. I'm not in Naija currently but i have a lots of pic of brabus on site from the foundation to the 2nd floor lintel level. Bosun/brabus/Nexthome is in indicated with red in these pix below.

pic #4 was taken by brabus, showing his right hand man/associate when they were still filling the compound with laterite sand.I still can't believed he actually came here to lie that I did it.

I hope brabus is not mistaking my patient for stupidity. I mean WTF?

n3xt:
Yet, the owner

1. Sandfilled the house with laterite despite been adviced against using such type of sand in the terrain. Or was the builder ever present during the Sandfilling of the structure?
2. Sandfilled the compound with laterite
3. Raised the upper structure with students on practical despite stopping work to resolve the water issues by the builder.
4. Built the collapsed fence despite the builder turning off the offer for fear of compromises.

1. The sand filling was done by you. I only paid for it don't worry I will post your picture here with the sand filling later the the world will know that you're a liar.
2. You specifically ordered the laterite from Kunle "indomine". My wife questioned you when I called you back for the roof on your choice of sand to sand filled. She was so mad with you whey you choose laterite and you looked lost and confused. I wish I have the video of that moment.
3 I never did and you're a liar. The upper structures was raised by the professionals in who you duped N20,000 out of their money I paid you upfront.
4 The builder ran away with my N300,000 missing with the fence budget and never came near site again. The builder name is Bosun Shoyoye /brabus/Nexthome.



BTW

Even that I was thinking to sue you, I now know that you must be very stupid to typed all those crap above. YOU WILL PAY FOR THIS. are you kidding me? I mean, like seriously? If All I listed is true then YOU shall die a painful death in Jesus name, you and your family. Just like you put tears on my family, God will put hundred fold of it on yours.


How dare you?

@Brabus,

Honestly, you fall hand small for this project of QC1!.... because you are the "professional here.
I know knowledge is not as much as we have today, back then ....but l cant make such excuse

Do you know why l said so?

I have not followed the thread of this project, so l never knew the history of the build until you posted those links in your last posts.

So, l went to check whether it was really true that you made all this "observations and recommendations" from the onset.
You know some people can lie, ehn?

Well, it is true you made those observations, so you are not lying ....... but


But you know what?
I did not see ANYWHERE in that thread, where you ADVICED QC1 that he needed to:

1.) Do a Soil test to confirm the type of foundation required

2.) You both just assumed that a 4-board raft should be adequate.


But where l fault you more is that looking at the pictures you posted, more so when you said you started work in that site in the middle of a DRY SEASON.... it should have occurred to you that NOTHING SHORT OF A PILE, WITH A FLOATING RAFT, WILL SOLVE THE PROBLEM OF THAT PLACE.

*The Pile is to ensure that the weight of the building rests on a firm sub-soil such that it will not sink .......noticeably.
*The Floating raft (which will be on-top of the Pile-heads, will ensure that run-off water can pass underneath (like a bridge) without affecting the walls of the building..... even if they divert third mainland bridge water to the side of your building.

But then, l know you are not an Architect or a Structural Engineer and you did not design the building.
One Structural Engineer must have specified the type of foundation given to the builder, to implement.... so, l can heap all the blame on you

I am not a builder, just a lay-man ....... but l have "observed' a few builds of my own .....(plus that of others).... and one of them was in such a nasty environment as this one! So, l think l can make a little comment like this, using my own experiences.

I feel really sad about this house....l really feel sad!

Infact, this house needs PRAYERS.
[b]*That vegetation you are seeing, is indicative of a SWAMP topography! Not just a "soft-soil" but a Swamp!
I hope we all know what l mean by SWAMP? Anyone who has lived in the low-land part Niger Delta, should educate us about SWAMP, please!

I have seen it swallow many Storey buildings.

*In cases l have seen, First, the ground floor will be converted to filling when it gets to the point where one can no longer fill it again (Filling don pass window level! )
*Secondly, after a while, the Upper floors becomes a Bungalow which eventually will still go (depending on where the hard Soil that has the bearing capacity is encountered.[/b]

Dont think l am an alarmist o, God spear our life, l hope we can all come back to read this post of mine, in about ten years time.
Bookmark it.

In the late 60's, a "family member" of ours had a land like this and l can remember back then, how they continued to spend money, upon money on the house on it .... and like what Yorubas call "Agbaa'noo" , it just kept swallowing it because the foundation of the house was wrong and they was not advised properly, that the ONLY solution is to demolish it, do a proper foundation and rebuild.

One "Money-miss-road" even came later and instead of him to learn from our own mistake and heed the advise my we gave him, he quickly built a Storey building within about 3-months .....but l tell you, that building went "completely underground" in less than eight years!
Till today, there is no building on that his land (owner don die and his children decided such "Agbaa'noo is not for them), its a church that just put some ramshackle on it.

Somebody should have told QC-1, that he needs a PILE, for that foundation!
I dont know for sure if somebody did and he dismissed it .....but my guess is that he was not told
I am not even talking about the surface run-off flood or pipe channelled onto his land nor the underground water you mentioned.

PROGNOSIS:

1.) A complete Rebuild, with proper foundation (Pile with Floating raft) - costly but most reliable and cost effective in the long run.

2.) Patches here and there to keep it afloat - will help to manage cash-flow for now, keep a roof over owner's head but a waste of money in the long run because "money used to maintain it within the next five years" will be enough to start another build to at least a Decked, Bungalow level.

If anyone tells you that building has stopped sinking, say l, Lastpage! said l would have a bet that "if they can measure its height above ground now (accurately), 10% of that value, at a minimum, will be below ground by this time next year"!

I am speaking based on the foundation pictures l saw (Nobody is God! ...and with God, nothing is impossible; that is why l said above, that "We need Prayers".

My Prayer is that God will provide more Money for QC1, to surmount this challenge.
If l were him, l will start thinking ahead and not let anyone fool me that they can do one miracle on this building
Brabus cant, l cant, No one can..... without pulling it down.
Anything done is just a "patch-patch" ......which will waste more money on a futile effort.

Caveat: I am sorry if you find my post "uncomfortable", especially the Client nd Brabus l am used to calling "A Spade, A Spade".
Most people wont say what l have said "openly" but l am sure inside most of us, we know this truth.
Its just not in my nature and those close to me know this
Am sorry.

I'm just the owner of the house not a builder, so Bosun looked at the house in the neighborhood and came up with the foundation. I don't evevn know that is called "Raft" before I hired him to build my dream home.

As you can see, all he has done is to make noise here on the internet. Because he has showed no remorse, that's why I may take a legal action. There's one "agbaya" here that everyone on this thread hate so much, and he will push Bosun into a ditch with his encouragement.

lastpage:
I asked him the same question, on the previous page, below is his answer.

I deduce that for one reason or another, the Client fell-out with the Contractor (Brabus) and the new contractor engaged (or DIY) did not implement these recommendations to the letter...... at the initial stage when it mattered mos and could have been cost-effective...IMO

@QCI :- Whats the current update on fixing your sinking house?

^^^

brabrus still refused to show up o....!

As for my guy that did the fix,he advised me to wait till the raining season is over, then floor the compound so that the rain water will not be soaked in the soil and comes out inside the house.

FastShipping:
I don't know the price range of ceramic tiles because I have had no market survey on it. The quality of it is not in doubt. They are relatively made for non traffic areas like residential homes.

Thanks man. Respect.

FastShipping:
You may have to go with ceramic tiles. They are made light in weight.

Thanks man. Any idea on the price range and what are your thought about its quality?

FastShipping:
No one told you argenta is fake. But don't come here to tell me those trashy tiles you displayed are of same grade as the polished porcelain tiles I displayed. Not even close.

It is not my business if you grade tiles base on cost. One thing I know is, high end tiles don't come cheap. At the same time, trashy tiles like the one you just displayed come very cheap. That is why they are trashy.

@ FastShipping

Could you please recommend the lightest (as in weight) tiles? I need something that won't add too much weight for my house because I don't want it to sink further. Thank you sir.
