EgunMogaji: Quoting myself to continue.. I ran across this thread https://www.nairaland.com/2519031/builder-needed-estate-project-ibadan And it is talking about some sort of bank guaranty instrument, maybe that's the missing link for the scheme I am proposing to work in Nigeria. |

3strike: True talk. Bad customer service too much for this country. Brabus thinks everything is about talking. No, there are times you keep quiet for peace sake. Or better still say something like this and the person will gladly keep quiet too. "we have improved in all our dealing and things like that are now being checked in order not to give us a bad name." He kept on arguing with his clients here and there and most times when you read his side of the story,you know for sure he isn't clean. See what he turned mavverick talk into? Same way you have been arguing with a lot of them and they come up with bad bad stories. You have forgotten that as you have mouth,so a lot others too. Talk less! Talk less!! Talk less!!! It will do you more good. 1 Like |

EgunMogaji: Everything is here in Nigeria. Just that few knew about it but the bigger boys in the construction industry are well aware of Contractor's Insurance. Advance Bank Guarantee (ABG) is common in big projects. Most of Lekki Garden contractors get this document from Diamond Bank, Zenith Bank, StanbicIBTC and other banks that support projects after satisfying the requirements for accessing such. For residential projects, contractors with insurance can access the bond by presenting their Contract Award Letter, Building Plans and Quotation to the bank and upon approval pay a bond fee which will be calculated based on the fund accessed. However, this is not for every dick-and-harry but only for verified contractors. The bank building inspector will look into the estimates and confirm its not out of place. 2 Likes |

It seems God did not answer my prayer...cos I just have to comment on this thread finally. I don't know when most of you joined nairaland or started visiting property section but this brabus palaver no be today... Don't get me wrong, I absolutely adore the guy's business packaging, but as poor guy hustling in America...dem no born me to give him job. I am sure he will attack me after this...I hope he has the wisdom not too...@Brabus, I will soon call you. I was looking for someone to do my project for me and I fell in love with the guy...but being a project minded person, I decided to ask more builders to tender...even though I knew in my heart it was Brabus I was going to give it to. To cut a long story short, I went with another contractor on NL and I have no regrets.... Why I didn't go with Brabus again...the week I was to call him and have my people meet him to sign, Ahonohai case hit NL...the LSPDC flat renovation... To God who made me I defended Brabus...attacked people, pleaded with people...some days later, the PH problem started. I quickly borrowed myself brain...this my tashere dollars, to enter voice mail...mbanu! I even went as far as to ask Alhaji to ban him but everyone was defending him...the packaging was just too foolproof. You go don fall yakata before you know what's up....despite this Qc1...who I personally advised o, here on NL..still shook head. What came out of it...iranu, abasha etc...... The funny thing is that a lot of you probably saw all his dealings and complains from other clients but still opted for him....as we speak, some dundees reading this thread are finalizing with him....see, you can't give what you don't have...Brabus is not a builder or qualified project manager for that matter. Do you think project management is just about organising sand and cement? Before I forget, when Segcymoor outed him as a computer guy...i fight am o...I ask am say how does it matter, now it is there for all to see. Brabus, I hope u purchase the wisdom not to respond, but I doubt you can afford it.... Your own people say... this firewood is not good, that one is not good...are you not going to cook. At the last count, you are closing in on ten nairalanders complaining about you...are they all mad....and we don't know your off NL reputation. I am yet to read a complain about spyder, segcy, HsL, aventures...na only u dey here. I am sure your house in sagamu, if we check, you will also complain about the work you yourself did.... You are a young man, calm down and do business the right way, fighting ALLLL your clients will not build your reputation. I hope this helps you, if it doesn't...I am using free office wifi! 2 Likes |

Re: Nexthome Builders: 2014/2015 New and Ongoing Projects by semitunde: 7:59am On Aug 14, 2015 |
mavverick: With government projects, there's what is called an Advanced Project Guarantee (APG). Its taken from banks and the bank now acts like an escrow account for the project until the contractor gets to a particular stage where he can free himself from the the bank guarantee. This has its own problems depending on the banks and your relationship with them. We took ours from former Intercontinental Bank and had little issues cos we had a long history of relationship with them. But we had a raw deal with Zenith and Access cos apart from the fact that they get a percentage from the APG, those banks put a lot of road blocks to collecting our money. They will come to site after getting clearance from the client to pay up and review all the works looking for loopholes not to pay. We discovered on both occasions that they just needed the money to stay with them as long as possible, at all cost. This delayed the project until the client officially directed that they move the APG account out of the bank ( for access), and had to pay Zenith bank the part collected with interest and cancelled the APG from them. APGs are payed back to the banks ( with interest) by the client after an agreed period or stage of the project; from the contract sum. The project has to be a huge for one to get APG cos the contractor will also factor the bank interest into the contract sum. Interest differs from bank to bank |

EgunMogaji: Why would three siblings, one of whom is in the UK and another that lives in the capital of Nigeria will enter into a N24m real estate deal without a Lawyer befuddles me ![]() Let me answer this for you please. Who enforces any of these contracts if things go wrong? To buttress the point that Maverick made I can understand such things happening in government contracts because we are talking of very huge figures (not the moi moi millions we small clients are spending). Get a lawyer involved for contract? Yeah right. And if either party goes wrong who enforces it? Few stories in my own case. My own sweet mum (bless her). Poor woman bought into a government scheme years ago in Jakande time (Yes that far back). All contracts signed and papers still here(Yeah my mum keeps everything) and till today the woman goes to court almost every week. She is in the news most times as one on the most vocal people and till today they have not got a single thing. They even won the case and court ordered government to give them something about 4 years and till today one story after another. Another story (I do have so many of them). I signed a full contract to buy two plots of Land somewhere around Eleko. Contracts fully signed with a lawyer. This was done over 5 years ago. After so much story I went to ask for my refund because the man refused give us the plots. He kept giving story. After 5 years of waiting and praying I asked for refund and what happened. Another story came in. Wanted to go to court and was advised that it will cost more and I may not even get anything back. I had to learn from my mum’s lesson and decided to go the jungle way and do things my own way. After the developer slept in station for 3 nites he realised that fire was really burning so decided to sign undertaken to make my refund. Now this refund is for the exact amount. No interest that will have accrued over 5 years. And to make matters worse police say that have to take 10% of whatever I get back so that’s about 1M going to police. Now tell me how does a contract help here? Who will enforce any payment for any wrongdoing? This is Nigeria o. whoever has the most money can do and undo. My advice is simple. Do all you can to protect your investments and don’t make the mistake of relying on our legal or judiciary system because if you do you are definitely on your own oo 3 Likes |

@brabus, you will recall during the crisis you had with the guy at ile oluji, I fought gettyababy (hope I got it right) defending you. Euromillion too came defending you. I gave you an advice then. Build your reputation offline. I can give segzy a second chance if he does something wrong on my project but with your reputation, I will quickly run to nairaland. You will never get a good reputation on line until you close your account on nairaland and build your reputation upwards. That doesn't mean you don't have issues. Do you know that since I know you, I don't know a single client that ended the project with you peacefully? You can't always be right. If ten people have issues with you, you are the real issue not them. Something is wrong with the way you manage clients |

brabus: Lol. Edit. Hit Nairaland unprepared. And I was talking about me some 7yrs back. Nairaland is a good platform but I see many here rushing to be known after only a few years ( or months) of experience. I've seen quite a few threads opened on construction stuff make front page only to realise from some simple questions that the op may not actually know much, but is just selling himself online anyways. I wanted to avoid that. Know my stuff and not get disgraced trying to answer seemingly easy questions, or go AWOL without answering them. It didn't mean I wasnt "in the spotlights", just not in Nairaland. P.S. I'm surprised you have not closed the issues on this thread till now. I know the guys here don't want your downfall. This thread keeps getting longer cos they've not gotten what they really want- a whole hearted apology from you to all concerned. Pls do a post, treating each person with his own apology and acceptance of guilt. Then call for a closure of this thread. Bro, your defence ( which is quite good I must confess) isn't helping you much here. This is a public site, and as the world goes digital, you won't want anyone googling NextHome to have issues like this jumping out at him. 2 Likes |

semitunde: This is spot on. Points to note: 1. Advanced Bank Guarantee or Performance bond is mainly for government sponsored projects or multinationals. 2. It creates a time Lag in project schedule 3. It increases cost of project because the bank will hire a project manager who will be paid as much as 150-300k monthly depending on magnitude of the project magnitude. 4. Nigerian banks love to hold money especially when month end or quarterly assessment approaches. 5. I remember the Ajimobi neighbourhood market project in Samonda sponsored by Wemabod. Our bank rejected their ABG and I can confirm many contractors had to abandon site. It's been 2 years and they are still being owed even with the ABG. @Egunmogaji Even in Escrow payment, the Payer still holds the ace. What if I complete the job and you don't instruct Escrow to pay me? Or the Payer decides to withold millions of naira just because of a trivial issue? |
