"One thing drives us to do better each day: We are only as good as the last home we build."

If I can survive in PH, definitely my Oga at the top (Spyder880) would do better in Lagos.

Update: We broke ground yesterday and excavation of the lot is ongoing at the moment. I'll update pics shortly.

Brabus will be on site today.

Work in progress

Sir Jaydacorsia has been a very good man and such client deserve the best. Even where he found us to have quoted lesser than the local market price, we were duly informed.

Oga Spyder/Segcy.moor/Chekitaut, can you see that? He has done his part, I think it's fair to give him value for his money.

I have been a silent reader for sometime now and I must confess that the brotherhood and convivial atmosphere in this section of Nairaland seems to be second to none. I have noticed that this section is rancour free and matured in contributions. God bless you all real good

This is our own little contribution towards making our country a better place for our children. Nigeria has got talent! The amount of human material in our midst is just too much. We are not waiting for the government to spoon-feed us, we have seized the initiative and will dictate the pace, our goal? A SOLID PARTNERSHIP TARGETED AT DELIVERING TOP QUALITY AFFORDABLE HOMES TO NIGERIANS. We can do this, and we will!

Jaydacorsair well done. Good to see progress.

Brabus congratulations ! We go wash am o. How the rains in PH? or no rain? What's your experience so far with local labour and Community Youths? They could be very peaceful though in some parts of PH.

The Rains
The weather is fine in Port Harcourt and we are working with the weather report. Today, major works happen in the daytime as we expect light showers around the evening.

Experience With The Locals
In general, professionals will agree with me that when dealing with construction projects in a new location, you should first start out on a friendly basis. We are working with some of them and the experience has been so sweet. However, we sef no dey do gra gra o!
Finally, there are some things you may just have to live with. I cannot carry Chekitaut from Lagos to come and supply in PH, it might be a good idea to deal with the locals and enjoy their support.

@Degis, We are trying to reunify our entire diaspora by creating “virtual communities” and possibly make Nigeria work again. Its nice having you on board. Please spread the goodnews

@brabus: You're the master here so don't mind my asking.
In the picture of the work in progress, the foundation seems a bit too close to the fence.
Shouldn't there be room for sewage,parking,play area or for future development?
Maybe i can learn from this and maximize space next time.
