An example of one circle Design

Nice. This is exactly what I want.

I've seen this thread before but I forgot.

You know what I can't find anymore is the house with the pool in the courtyard. The one with all the imported glass.

Can you link the thread for me?

Thanks.

What did they use for the windows here?

Normal everyday aluminum window material - it's made to project outward. I normally use projected design on rectangular shaped openings.

Thank you Abdulwastecx,

I have nothing more to add the above.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I dont know how long (One year? Two years? Three years ..or Forever) it takes to label someone a fraud!?

If anyone claims they dont have KNOWLEDGE of what happened between Brabus and some of his Clients, they they need to read this thread all over again.
But then, "KNOWLEDGE" and "WISDOM" are not the same thing!

"WISDOM" ..... is the application of Knowledge. undecided
I have made my own points known, l wont spend the whole 2016 flogging a dead horse!


Each man to his own conviction.



Lastpage!

True! wisdom is applying knowledge. However, not every reader of the building thread is a regular here and has seen a full spectrum of the fraudsters and his antics. Not every one has/can go through hundreds of pages on various threads. So once in a while it is good to remind readers of the reputation of their potential builder/ advise giver. They can make informed decision based on that e.g Qc1

@MSogunro

The cost

***This is a rough calculation.

The perimeter of the piece of land is 30 + 30 + 31 + 36 = 127 meters.

Roughly, you will have 40 regular pillars and 2 big pillars for the gate.

The length of a block is 18 inches which translates to 0.45 cm

Leaving out 4 meters for the gate, you have 123 meters left.

123 / 0.45 equals 273.33 per coach. If you are going to have 10 coaches, for blocks alone, you will need 2800 (making provision for wastage)

2800 times 170 (cost of block) N476,000
Bricklayer charges about 50 naira to lay one block, therefore labour cost estimate is 140,000

You will also need between 80 and 90 bags of cement @ 1650 = N148,500
If you have to buy water, that will be about 8k for a water tanker
You will also need about 1 - 2 trips of 15 tonnes sharp sand (for the block setting alone)

More sharp sand trips will be needed if you will be casting the base and the pillars

That is just the beginning.

depending on the terrain you are building, you may need to do a raft (either I or an inverted T)

The cost implementation will vary, so more details is required.
Because this will involve iron rods, labour charge for iron bender, formwork by carpenter or formwork rental (steel shutters)
Woods, nails, binding wire

This is just a guide. More details is needed for more accurate estimate.

Regards

Thank you very much for the info.

Wha area or state is your rough estimate based ?

One good advice Abdul...Stay away from this. Build your own brand and guide your reputation jealously. no paddy for jungle.

See when we were building my Ajah project, I could have given some people jobs to do but I was under the impression that Endiasami and Twinskenny were affiliated with Brabus or nexthome because of some of their comments. So I warned lots of people away from them. why? because that's what first came to mind....only to later find out these guys are innocent. This is called Perception.

Although I have chatted with the two gentlemen and I told them am sorry that I went by their comments here on Nairaland and I thought they were some of Brabus Next home foot soldiers.


NB: Endiasami and Twinskenny, Am very sorry Again. I owe you guys a business deal in the nearest future by the Grace of God. Amen!


BTW: it is always easier to advocate for second chance when you are not the victim. I won't call that hypocrisy tho, i just think its because they really don't know how WE the victim feel everyday about our investments.

Thank you for your explanation. I really enjoyed your analogy.

Side note: I saw your posting on spyder880 thread of his estate. You mentioned your farm was very close to it. I missed out on his estate, though I'm still looking for land in enugu. I would really like to visit your farm when I'm around next just to see what it looks like and the kind of products you provide.


Yes our farm in Emene is close to the Spyders Palm estate, note we also have another farm in Owerri. Due to biosecurity we generally don't let people onto the farm, however if you are in the area and I am around too, I could give you a limited tour.

Take care

An unrelated flip example of keeping water away from foundation.

In north Texas we actually have to water the edges of our foundation during the summer so that the soil doesn't pull away from the foundation.

And we have to minimize the amount of water we allow to reach the foundation area in the rainy season = gutters.

Yes, there's electronic device you can buy to tell you if you have too much or too little water. Technology.

I yield the floor to my well heeled coforumers and their N4m foundations grin

Out of curiosity, what part of the DFW metoplex do you live, I had a lot of dealings in N Garland, Frisco, Plano and Richardson. Basically th I75 expressway. In DFW at least every other month.PS I am a cowboys fan

Small world.

I lived in Celina (an enclave north of Frisco) and have a spread out on the shores of Lake Bridgeport. Took the I75 south to Dallas every two weeks to attend meetings. We might have ran into each other grin

I hate the Cowboys, well football in general, though Deon Sanders was a neighbor of sorts.
