I second Egun's comment for the very first time. The builders mentioned above fall into the category of the "Good". we have the bad and the ugly. that's the category Brabus Nexthome belong o

The good builders are always busy on site so as to avoid the kind of mistakes the ugly builders argue all day about here...Good builders are also busy breaking new ground every week and they hardly have time to come online to give lectures with internet pictures just to score cheap points. They really don't come online to do packaging or argue with previous clients and potential clients.....Their work speaks for them. if na lie ask oga Spyder880, AbdulWastecx, Skimaski and Aventures.

Qc1:
I don't need no silly proposal, I WANT A FIX !!!

Was I supposed to get your internet comment to problem physically

It's seems that you like to run your mount on the internet like Ben Bruce yet, you hate to fix your mess on site. How many times do we have to drag this?

The pictures below shows what I have to deal with because of you. How can you be so draft to build a house this low on a swampy land?

MR. Internet fix expert!

I'm surprised that nairalanders still fall into the hands of the fraudster posing as a builder. I guess they don't do enough research despite all the information freely available on Nairaland. It's glaringly obvious who's who if one takes the time to go through the various building threads here. I'd advice anyone planning to build to tame the initial excitement and do extensive research on various builders before they commit their projects to the hands of one of them. Even when you do this, mistakes might still occur but they will be minimal. And you'll buy yourself much more peace of mind.

I've followed numerous building threads here for about 5 years and nobody has come forward to complain about Spyder880, Aventures, and Segcy.Moor. Brabus on the other hand has been the subject of numerous bitter complaints following which I don't remember seeing any very happy client. This is really sad, in his shoes I'd cover my face in shame.

May we not fall victim to wolves in sheeps' clothing.

I blamed myself for using Bosun on my project. Lesson learned: Never to get too excited and always do my DD.

brag3:
@Qc1, first and foremost I am sorry to read about this. It's so sad but believe me you will recover from this and smile at the end God willing.

I hope you can find a speedy and long lasting solution to this issue.

I don't even know where to begin with Brabus. It just never ends.

You can say all you like and advice all you like but if you did this foundation then you have no excuse here.

You knew about the terrain as you have claimed so you should have done all it took to ensure this did not happen or don't do the job at all.

A true professional will not touch a job unless they know the outcome will be positive. They will do all they can (even at a loss to them to make sure the job comes out well)

There is no point saying you advise this or advised that. If you foresee this happening then you should made it clear that this will happen and walked away and not touch it with a barge pole.

You had all these solutions from day one so they should have been implemented at all costs or not taken the job.

This work is still your hand work and reflects on your ability to do the right thing. And upon all you feel the need to gloat at your client's expense to seduce other clients.

That in my books is extremely unethical/unprofessional and says alot about your real intentions.

All those people saying that you should call Brabus back to your site. Please don't listen to them. Get a real professional to fix this issue.

Brabus may have his area of expertise (I am yet to find any) but please let the real people fix this issue once and for all.

agarawu23:
Oga qc1, i will strictly advice you to put any blame game and argument aside for now and let Oga brabus visit the site to see what he can do about it since he was the one that constructed it.

If his suggestion will cost u money and deal with the water once and for all, its better than spending millions yearly to control water.

You have been bringing different set of ppl yet no solution and i know how you feel cos i will feel bad too if i am in your shoes.

Should he visit your site to fix it up for u?.

Blv me, brabus might/maybe controversial here but i respect his talent and how he deal and respond to building issues here.

I am just saying my own as a concernced person and cos I know the problem you are facing presently.

OnetimeOnly:
Pls engage a professional.Brabus is not a professional. He is a fraudster that posts pictures. That is why you are in this mess. Pay the extra and have peace of mind

Qc1:







Every time you guys tell him to visit the site what does he do? He stays away and try to point to an old post that he suggested a solution!

He claimed he was there last year to look at the progress of the house when I was about to roof it? Yes he was there but he started complaining the house should have been filled with sharp sand instead of the red filling sand, he then bla bla bla on how the red sand is no good and wrong for the site. That was where my wife got angry and asked him "If you know this, then why did you use the red sand?" and "where you not aware of this info when you where filling it with this sand?" With those questions my wife just felt disgusted with him and doesn't want to be around him anymore.

You see people all he does is throw solutions from his own mess from far distance. Just because my wife asked him those questions he ran away and never came back. I was going to let him roof the house then he refused to show up and sent a carpenter to do the roof wood work. Even though I paid him he ended up not showing up at all and the carpenter started messing up. I had to stop the carpenter and take down all he did and started afresh from the beginning again after translated the drawing in the plan to him.

After 10 days or so the carpenter refused to go further because he needed some money for his family to eat and his fellow trades men on site. Bosun still refused to show up. He and the carpenter had a fight on money issues. I had no choice but to come out of the pocket to pay the poor man. That was when my wife and I discovered that he charged me about N50,000 extra on the carpenter alone yet he refused to show up not even once. I just got tired of the drama and decided to Tower company office for the roofing in Oba AKran Ikeja, It was from there they sent out their employee to roof the house.


Bosun is a ghost that like to take your money and throw advise on the interment for his own mess.


How does a man that refused to show up would help?

[size=24pt]@ QC1 you cannot solve a problem with the same thinking used when creating them. find a professional to look into this sir. If na lie ask Albert Einstein.[/size]

I have no issues whatsoever. How many times has Baba Qc1 called me and I quickly heed his call. What's big deal in saying "Bosun, I'm having it rough at my site with water issues. Can we work this together? I have tried some fix but it seems not working. Any good suggestions?" "I need you and your men ASAP to find me a lasting solution to this problem."

Sometimes, the best fix is not always the popular ones. You'll just feel like what haven't I done?

He's still the only client I've given my Christmas and my birthday. So there's nothing he can't take from me even till now.

Ask and you shall receive. But do Baba still believe in my judgement? Or mere gossips from those who profits from confusion that will make him loose focus on the main goal which is to find a lasting solution to protecting his investment?

baba, the way forward Is the solution now. I feel bad seeing the situation of the house and the amount that has been spent.

I have tried, they all want me to sue him. They all said the problem was the height level of the foundation need to be raised. As we speak,I did that already and I'm just waiting for the dray season to continue with tiling. main while, I'm observing the fix.

I am so sorry you are in this position...it breaks my heart to see people loose hard earned money in such ways. This is why I have been shouting up and dahn this forum about brabus and his fraudulent schemes especially for 1st time home builders and diaspora.

Please pay the extra and consult a civil engineer....to do soil test and a comprehensive overview...this does not look like a small thing to me.it does not look only like site water but water seeping from underneath the foundation(don't take my observation, just trying to stay that you need an engineer to find out what is really going on)

mavverick:
Sorry to hear about what happened in your site.
I was lucky I came up 12 months ago when my foundation was being done, I was under the impression and asked for 5 board, yet i got 4 board. The foundation was low as they dug the ground first which my neighbor didn't do and I understand ought not to have been done. Anyway moving on

But hey, I pray God gives you the strength to deal with this and find a lasting solution. Also, health is important oo, forget riches, so take it easy. You dont want to be having high BP, where the perpetrator Bosun is there making jest of you with others to prove a point, I wonder how many times he would have done same to me.

Engage professionals: Forget all these internet suggestions, take the good bit and have an open mind. Let someone visit site and ascertain what needs to be done. Cost it and let them do it.

It will cost you in the end, but its better to have piece of mind. I cannot start to tell you the list of things that I have fixed

The atrocities committed on my site are way too much for me to be listing here, I had to grab the bull by the horn and fix them one after the other. Clearly he's not a professional nor a builder, and those people who claim he has talent (I read one today), I was just shaking my head. What a bunch of naive sympathizers, the person claiming he has huge talent, I will ask him one question (Can you give him your project to build, or why have you not given him your project to build ?). The main talent is how to defraud you, simple. The rest na just google work and neat pictures.

I am counting down to 5 weeks now so that I can get the remaining of my money for the fake building plan, I have chosen to swallow the cost of fixing his mess. Let me ask everyone, do you guys think that brabus/ Bosun / Nexthome does this for the following reasons.

*Greedy
*Wickedness
*Complete lack of knowledge on building matters
*Proving a point on how good he is

I would like to know, I have my own mind made up, but it would be good to know what others think.

All I'm praying for now, is a long life. Tears drops from my wife eyes because I kept praying for a long life just because of what Bosun did to me.

Main while, I kept fixing Bosun Shoyoye/brabus mess all the best I could, one day at a time! May God grants me the strength. Amen.

Can you believe Bosun Brabus have the gut to advise me that I can get away without raft foundation in Ajah o because my plot is not swampy..... I told him point Blank not to try it o. if not I for don dey walk around naked as Agarawu talk....BTW he promised me 5 boards raft too and I don't think I even got 4...

If you are reading this and still in doubt, please give your projects to Brabus o. We go all dey here waiting for stories that touches the heart......

bugmenot:


@bra3g lol @ Enhanced DD. Trust me it's worth it, afterall these are buildings that are expected to still be standing when the owners are long gone.

@3strikes I think you are among the luckier of his clients. After all the reworks and other extra work you put into it, you ended up with a beautiful building with no horrible structural defects. Not many of his clients are in similar shoes as yours.

n3xt:


Once again a big amen! May your God fight for you and every other persons around you affected. I like as you put it to God.

One thing you know is I'm not a greedy person when it comes to money and that you know for sure.

But to clear the air, I didn't throw any suggestion from distance. I tidied up my job since January 2014 and never had any backlog of work left undone except you have a contrary proof.

I didn't take money from you for any job and not do it. So apportioning blame to me for what we didn't agree on its cost is what I really don't know. I'm never keen about what comes in or out other than advice you on the best selection.

In sure you know I was just a builder on paid commission on the project and not a contractors and as such I'm limited in my capacity to make judgement for you sir. Neither do I make a unilateral decision.

A visit to the thread will show that I was upfront with all the site challenges right from the beginning of the project. And proposed all the known fixes to you right in the thread and on site. I never had to carry out any of the solution for you because you have your own way to do them. I can recollect how mumuni led a team of abokis to come and backfill the house with the laterite. I was just an observer and cannot do anything about it.

Bros, I'm sure you knew I even advised against using laterite for the Sandfilling of the house because it's not good for the terrain but before I got back to the site after completion of the raft, Sandfilling has been done. Even though I recommended getting rubbles from Julius Berger site at Ikorodu and the road construction. Your supplier and bro can attest to this. I didn't have to impose anything on you. The only time I suggested a supplier to you was a granite supplier who did just one trip and nothing more.

Bros, how am I a fraudster? For telling the problems and challenges faced on site that you visit everyday we were there but chose to take with a pinch of salt or allowing you to take a lead while watching your back and advising you on the challenges ahead.

When we found neighbors waste pipe as the main culprit in your compound, I asked that we do everything on our part to safe your structure forgetting what the neighbour should have done because we are at the receiving end. Did we do that?

I'm sure you'll agree I'm not a fraudster when I went to locate where govt drainage in the area and the affected buildings around so that we can plan a proper channelisation of water in that area. Has that been done? Because I know there was never a kobo credited to me over this.

Bro's lastly, when you called me back a year after for your roofing, and I got to know about the fence you did that fell, I told you that you need to fix the water issue ASAP and adviced against using stone coated roofing. I'm sure you'll remember we walk this same walk sometimes last year.

It's so painful but how I wish there's something I can do other than telling you what I know. The structure isn't the problem, the water is. The same water affecting everyone around you.

You just have to deal with problem and not the cosmetic effects.

I believe my mess didn't fall the fence you did by yourself. The water (lateral pressure) did. Neither did it do any damage to other structures affected in the neighbourhood but the uncontrolled flow of water did.
The earlier a combined effort is taken to fix this source, the better.

Beside, I'm not here to score cheap points. I just need to reiterate my points which remain unchanged since 2013.

Qc1:



^^^

Yet you stole my N300,000.00 for the same fence and ran away. I did it after I couldn't find you! Is that not a mess?
Why trading words with you? You have no shame at all?

Qc1:



It is water from underneath. Why? because the so-called raft brabus did wasn't blinded and it sank. Secondly the height of the raft should have been 5 or 6 boards instead of 4. As is right now, i have no problem with the compound,that was fixed, just the underneath the inside floors. I've posted the fix to this too. I've been told to wait and see how things goes before moving to the next step.
