This started because he picked on my roof as having one pako that was off.

I won't have time to post pictures till I get back home but this is just one build. I have dossier on many builds and it's all over the country.

I knew I wasn't gonna get anything done at work today....So Brabus is Cursed?. you know I sometimes wonder that if some people in Naija have half the ideas he's got Am sure they will be rubbing shoulders with people like Sijibomi ogundele of Sujimoto.....


By the way brabus. Remember I told you say people know you weller and them they deceive you when they hail you online. you fvcking weigh nothing and they all know it.. Just another noise maker that entertains and who keeps opening more doors for segcymoor, Aventure and those in Lagos.

I also told you before that these Builders are busy breaking new ground every week and they have no time to argue or e-fight but you have all the time in the world to be throwing blocks from upstairs and driving pick-up on blocks all in the name of what?


Make anybody no quote me o. But egun bad o. see pictures. Just wondering what else this e-father gat on his e-son grin


Brabus is jobless thats why he has all the time to do efight. I was surprised Big Eguns fell out with him, it just showed that he has a consxience which brabus lacks. Imagine casting a pillar on a block? Wonders shall never end.

Respect. The most unfortunate thing is that these errors were discovered by another contractor who striked out the boards from the pillars.

If I am lucky to get the pictures you'll see the pic of the columns during formwork stage, you'll hardly notice the error because all the blocks were fully covered.

My part of the blame was that I didn't check well enough before approving the casting and no one told me anything.

Sure, it was an oversight but a simple error that can be corrected by reinstalling the column or starting a new one afresh.

Unfortunately, I saw it first here.

Brabus. Brabus. Brabus.
Do not try and hide with long epistles. You were the main contractor on the structure of that project.subcontractors under your supervision made mistakes and YOU are responsible, but did you accept it? We all know the answer. You did not.....just dancing around the issue

He picked on my tiles too and I took him on then settled within minutes. It didn't have to get to mud fight. No need to respond to everything Brabus did wrong except one has The TRUMP disease (illness that makes one respond to everyone who does something wrong).

I know we are talking sense now. Did I accept what I took responsibility for even right here, right now. Unless you want to say oversight is impossible in construction.

Now if I may have attention of those who want to know what led to the issue. Then I can do a better job of explaining than exchanging words with Dangotes mate.

Anyone care to know? Two people will do. Then I'll explain what led to the issue. Maybe one or two people will learn from it.

Baba Egunmogaji and Brabus, please, let peace rein here. Baba Egunmogaji, I thought Brabus has always had your back on this forum - vice versa. You have always defended Brabus on this forum even when you knew he did wrong. So what happened now? You should have been the adult in the room when Brabus erred instead of resorting to this mud fight. Brabus is not even grown enough to be your brother's mate. He should be more like a son or close to it.

And you Brabus, this back and forth with every tom-dick-harry is not good for your soul. Learn to be humble. Stop letting things be about "me-me-me" at all time. Always be the first to run from a fight. It doesn't make you a coward. It makes you an adult in the room.

Mr. Agarawu, what is your gain in this? Respect yourself, sir. This is not the way to act. I'm being candid with you.


N.B

And for you other internet warriors stoking flame, continue with what you know best.

Get a life!

I think this issues have never been resolved , that is why they keep reappearing on this forum.... FYI Manu people are here to learn and give information. But scammers cannot be allowed to make a mess of the openness of this forum unchallenged.... everyone who reads this thread and gets it that brabus is a cheat is a victory for the integrity of this thread!!!! Would have saved Qc1 millions of Naira and heartache.

Did I have the opportunity? Was the error found pointed to me and I refute before the alarm was raised?
When I wanted to visit, did you not read the clients comment?

I'll show you here the pic of the same building with all the columns in their rightful positions before the substructure. What went wrong?
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by n3xt(m): 4:13pm On Jun 03, 2016
Let those who are experts say what could lead to the error if all columns were already in place at foundation stage.

You need a break for a week or two. Accept blames always and stay humble, my friend.

There are times it is better to not say something so things don't get out of hand. You have always missed the opportunity to do that.

Must you respond to everything?

Its brabus you should talk to and not horse!!! Are you not in this house when maverick, qc1 and others cried out on how brabus duped them? Even your tiles brouhaha with him here was witnessed by us all. Have you seen spyder, segcymoor, aventure, kolashange and co argue with fellow nlanders not to talk of clients on this forum? But brabus will insult his clients here blue black as if the client did wrong by giving him a job to do.

All those saga you listed were witnessed by me and everyone here in which I participated on so many occasion. The problem here today was about Brabus and Egunmogaji getting into mud fight.

Let us have sanity on this great thread instead of talking about Brabus all the time. This thread wasn't opened by Hajj to discuss Brabus misdemeanors. I know Hajj won't disagree. This thread was opened to discuss sharing of ideas about building beautiful homes.

Oga Erico,

Did you notice that all the Blocks used with this tool are SOLID Blocks without any hole in-between?


Just want to ask:

How would YOU use this tool to work on our own "HOLED" 6" and 9" Blocks?

Knowing fully well that the Mortar will just be falling down inside the holes! shocked



Lastpage!
Hmmm now U av asked a kwession
U know the part of the country I come from we do not use Holed blocks that's for commercial buildings only
U wil be suprised
And also even abroad no Hollo blocks it's solids. 4 inches solids then red bricks around it insulation in the middle .Even at that I'm sure with a few twicking a holo block bricky can be made

Alhaji Kowope, you see most of these errors can actually be fixed if they catch it on time. But its a disaster when the builder or supervisor na e-warrior. who spend more time online trolling than actually doing what they were paid to do on site.

We will never stop telling them the truth. I knew this day will come. grin grin grin
i have happily endorsed the name u gave me "kowope". it means a lot to me grin

Well, you are right tho I am still a fan.

I agree with you, let us get back to sharing construction advice and tips, but when a skunk walks into the room, you cannot but notice.
I've also noticed this thread gets more views and responses when there are fights.... I guess people learn more from other people's mistakes too

I am currently working on some job... Luckily, I will be doing both the structural designs and actual construction. There are some cost saving structural layout method I want to use for this particular duplex, this method involve the use of over hanged beam to have a lower bending moment on the beam.

A complete isolated foundation system where the foundation for the completely framed building will be pad footings without strip to carry foundation walls. The pad will be located at a depth with adequate bearing capacity to carry the building. Foundation columns design as unbrazed columns are then raised up to the grade, which is then linked with grade beam of 300mm wide and 300mm deep. Walls are then raised on these grade beams to have the desire dpc or ground level of 600mm.

This method of pad foundation is more cost effective than the conventional pad and strip footing foundation, it is more structurally sound and also faster.
