erico2k2: Here’s my piece of advice just yesterday to a client who’s engaging one of the most reputable builder here on how to manage his multifloor project. Forget all the theatrics, building ain’t for those with chicken heart. Baba (silent follower), here’s an old timer (even class captain, Nairaland properties) corroborating what I told you yesterday. 1 Like |

erico2k2: We’ve done our parts and moved on. I chop ban on top the matter sef. Shebi even the once sinking house is being lived in now. On another note, it’s Brabus that is in the limelight on past issues, if you read some of the emails I get where customers are complaining about some of the big builders on here occurring today you’ll fear God. Anyone can drop the ball. I’ve dropped balls on my builds too with no one to blame but me. Las las gbogbo wa la maje breakfast ![]() 1 Like |

erico2k2: Smiles. My current build has the owner-builder approach. The owner is the Project Manager and he appoints a private consultant to monitor day-to-day activities on site. So my reports here are just news flash. There’s someone taking notes and records of happenings every hour of the day. The mistake most folks here make is to appoint a builder and make him “the skipper” and the “the umpire” on a project. The guy will just be awarding himself a penalty. If you do the owner-managed approach, you’d be scoring an own goal every day. I’ll share something interesting very soon. It’s about blocks. The owner of this build is supplying materials while his engineers are just using what he’s supplying. Guess what! the blocks aren’t standard block sizes. Pictures coming shortly. |

BrabusNG: Brabus I consider you to be one of the best on here. If not the best. The truth is that despite all these allegations, I will still use you for my build when my money reach. But for now It's better you trash this talk once and for all. If client brought you on to supervise the project pls talk. If he made you to cut corners pls say. Clients can be difficult sometimes. I made my babalati to cut corners on one of my fence and it cost me. I dare not blame him. So pls bring on these people and trash this thing once and for all Or When they post pls stop quoting them. Then I. Will trash talk some people on here With all due respect. Some of y'all are behaving like Hippocrates I feel like mentioning names But haba Someone is derailing this thread. Y'all can bring an end to this. Bring both parties together and find an end to this issue. Someone like egun mogaji is well respected by people on here. He can try to get both of them together. These people still feel pain from their job with brabus. And I am sure they can stop all these derailing if the bigger men try to settle it. Imagine robosky bringing on a new mantra when this issue started " All action and no talk" This is obviously intended for brabus. I think elders should always behave like elders. Everybody just dey fuckup 5 Likes |

In 2012, I gave this advice to one of the client who was all here to say I defrauded him by giving him fake building plan approval. https://www.nairaland.com/1040620/building-nigeria-lessons-learned/2#12430452 You all know his name. He created a new ID in 2016 to chat me up to take up his new project in Oko Odo. He agreed contractor managed approach at the beginning of the project. As we were rounding up, he decided to change the terms of engagement and I step out. The next thing was the fraud story. They keep coming every minute to Brabus because they felt he can be intimidated with unproven nairaland fraud stories. Of course, the gullible ones will buy it. ______ These are people who have lived half of their lives abroad. I was thinking they should know better. ______ Thank God we built houses far bigger than what we are doing here before we started taking nairaland projects. The story for long ![]() ![]() #multipleids 1 Like

Greenarrow01: It’s because we’re all tired ni. Can I cry more than the aggrieved because even QC1 himself posted once or twice and went away. Hajji owner of the thread even stopped participating. He even tried to delete this thread many times by changing the title. Don’t take our inaction as not caring it’s just that we’ve done that and been there already. I chopped ban on top this matter, people called me hypocrite, etc This will blow away too, they always do on here. Shebi some Neanderthal called me a yahoo fraudster and a thief last week. No one came to my defense now. I just took it like a champ knowing that 25% of Nigerians are insane (according to WHO). A figure that I think is conservative. It will blow away, no need for intervention. IMHO.
