brabus: Hello Brabus I know its a private project, what I meant is that is this Lekki scheme 1 or 2 or one of the private estates along the Lekki axis. I like the infrastructure in the estate and I just wanted to ask. Also to do something similar, how much should one budget, just a compound with shell structure. Thanks. |

Sand filling of Unit 1 started and finished. Don't be surprised! It's a MACHiNE work. We'll be spreading the fills tomorrow and surface treatment follows next tomorrow.

Damp proofing is a protective process to ensure moisture cannot pass through the walls of a building to the interior. The construction sheet used in damp proofing places a barrier in the floor that prevents rising damp problems prevalent in most homes. Highly recommended for projects within Lekki axis. Why Damp Proof? To prevent ground salts such as chlorides and nitrates which can absorb moisture from the atmosphere from damaging internal/external plaster of your house or ruin internal decorations. |

Great Job Brabus. Do you mind sharing the cost budget for this project just to also encourage some of us with similar projects in the plan but not able to start yet cos of the fear of the unknown? God bless you for the good job you are doing. I have already signed on into this class all the way. |

Unit 1 foundation is fully ready and block work starts today but here on this post im going to name the people behind the work. I’m only able to write about it now because we've officially completed a major hurdle and I’m satisfied with who I should name, who I shouldn’t name, and what the costs are. Although, I'm going to be extremely careful about naming subcontractors on this site because Google have the ability to make or break someone’s business, depending on what is written about them. The 3 categories of subcontractors working on this project: Did a great job, would recommend. So far, almost everyone has fit into this category except for the carpenter who worked on the Unit 2. He's (the carpenter) fired already. The man-of-the-stage (if there's an award like that is Clement Carpenter who charged a reasonable fee and did a great job on Unit 1 and a lot of corrections on Unit 2. Hopefully this leads to more business for him. Things didn’t go well for one reason or another, but the person was honest and tried to make it right. In this situation, only one subcontractor fit into this category and that is the Welder working on Unit 2. If I write about the entire process that didnt go well and named the contractor, it would have the effect of casting the person in a negative light, and I do not wish to do this. Things were a disaster and I want to publicly warn readers to stay away. About 3 people fit into this category, as there have been a couple of situations where the final resolution from someone from the previous group saved the situation. People in this category includes: Carpenter working on Unit 2 - FIRED Project Supervisor - FIRED The Architect who drew the initial plan - FIRED |
