Na window I carry give Adeekiti, of which at the end with the nets, he messed up big time. He collected extra 70K and we resolved the issue.I since moved on with my life after he fixed the window nets. If he can get in touch or if he has more details about those issues, I for like to know because me who is the owner of the site isnt aware of any issues I have with any worker. So how Adeekiti who wasnt focusing on the way he fixed his nets would not concentrate on that, but will be concentrating on complaints, I do not know. topsy23: 1 Like |

You have done very well Bros. You will be finished very soon. What do you plan on doing for your kitchens? As you know mine is for commercial purposes so kept it simple with Cheap Budget one worktop and one Cabinet for each kitchen and then standard 4 feet wardrobe for each room. Some pics below Landscaping currently costing 550 per sqm for molding and laying but I used granite not stonedust for molding. Final cost likely to be in the region of 550k to 650K. Hoping it's the former not the latter. For painting I will definitely speak to Gbadebo. He has been very helpful to myself and a few others here who have used his services. Tiling is the killer and to be honest not sure how one can cut corners on that. You need a good tiler and even the fake Chinese tiles cost an arm and a leg so be prepared to spend BIG on that Qc1: 2 Likes 1 Share

Haba Mmotimo your epistle is misguided. If you need to blame anyone in Nairaland then it needs to be Seun who has chosen not to ban Brabus. Thank God you are Yoruba and a majority of those affected are too as somethings loose their meaning in the translation. I will start with the saying Aboro lan so fun omoluabi to ba de inu e adi odindi. Some of the victims end up making you loose the will to talk. Some were warned severally even before they embarked on their project. At what point does the need to give someone a second or sixth or more chances take over the need to protect yourself and your family's savings. At a point I was saying to myself whatever juju this guy is using is working cos I did not understand the fixation with the need to give chances to a confirmed fraudster it was bordering on lunacy to me. How do you want hajj to carry matter for head when even the victims are continually dancing with the enemy. One minute they are frienemies chat away and sometimes even socialising and then yawa brakes out and they are showing us their chat and personal info. It was for them to show the way and give Brabus the silent treatment. In the face of Seun not banning Brabus and people ignoring him things will take its natural cause. Brabus is all that you have said and more but some are guilty of being an enabler. Unfortunately those that continue to support Brabus should not be surprised when people come for their neck. 13 Likes 1 Share |

Once you have the cash and have paid to the last, carcass can be delivered within that period. I did mine, all roofed in 12 months because i was doing it as funds come in. 1 Like |

Finishing is definitely more expensive, remember that Nigeria produces nothing these days, so you are at the mercy of the current exchange rates. For the interlocks, I have a policy of buying my own materials where possible, so this is what I did. 1 x 30 tonne of stone dust with chipping. I have some left over cement, but i initially bought 100 to start with even though they requested for 150, and even the 100 self hasnt been fully used. So be careful here. The cement was also used for plastering fence, so hard to know exactly how many they used here. I bought red pigment, for like 20k. The guy gets paid N550 per SQM and he provides everything else (rammer, diesel, molding containers, nylon etc) I will give him some free nylon as its the left over from a previous phase. I also casted my stones and I want wet curing,whereby the stones are immersed in water where possible or water wetting, this makes the stones stronger. I went to some of the sites that the interlocking guys did, I saw dips and stones breaking, so I want to avoid this if possible. I also filled the compound, almost a year ago to ensure natural compaction so that when the stones are laid, the ground is hard and well compacted as this is what causes dips where there are movement or where the ramming/compacting isnt done well. I understand from some interlockers that when the compound is quickly sandfilled and only rammed in a haste, this can also happen. I consulted our resident Engineer Abdulwastec on this before proceeding, so stones are already molded but I will only lay it after external painting. danowena: |

Lol. E be like say u sabi brabus well well. He gets people in by doing this: # Giving you a cheap unrealistic quote, how can you blame people in diaspora, some do not know the going rate and dont want to be cheated either. # With cement, if you need 100 he quotes like 220 and then lowers the unit cost, so you think you are getting a bargain, but he's shafting you on one side. If you go buy your own, he brings a van to come to steal it. if you question am, he tells you he knows the wife of dangotes friend, so cheaper prices. That same dangote friend wife calls you to complain about the lack of payment from brabus on other deals they did, so you end up consoling that one, even though e no concern u. # With iron rods, same thing. lower unit cost but inflated quantity, yet he doesnt pay the suppliers so those ones end up coming to your site to moan. where you need 2 tonnes, he tells you 3 or 4 but slightly lower prices compared to market rate. I was just lucky that I had a supplier in the Lekki Axis, I call him up and make my own arrangements. Despite that self, brabus dey park white van for my site stealing materials, then telling me to call a scientist to estimate the amount of cement he has used. I am being serious, and this na same person Excuseme/Lastpage dey go into bed with jossy26: 3 Likes 1 Share |

As eye don take open now, you cannot afford to to brabused again. I have said to a few folks, if i was ever to build in nija again, I know where to cut costs drastically and still achieve quality, it may not be very fine but it practically works. Oga QC1, as a chairman porsha jeep no too big for you oo.Last time i saw tinubu in lagos he was driving a G Wag, you can do better than that oga QC1. Me no like that jeep (looks like a matchbox), unless the fully souped AMG's, I will take an overpowered porsha. Qc1: |
