FROM THE ASSESSMENT U UPLOADED ABOVE, UR APPLICATION IS A COMMERCIAL ONE...

U ALSO MODULED UP THE ACTIVITIES OF THE LAGOS STATE PHYSICAL PLANNING AND PERMIT AUTHORITY (LASPPPA) AND YHE LAGOS STATE BUILDING CONTROL AGENCY (LASBCA).

FOR FURTHER CLARIFICATION,

for your Building plan approvals: go to LAGOS STATE PHYSICAL PLANNING AND PERMIT AUTHORITY (LASPPPA).

for ur Letter of Authorization to commence construction and subsequently Stage certification after u commence construction: LAGOS STATE BUILDING CONTROL AGENCY (LASBCA).

For Safety Certificates , boards etc: go to the LAGOS STATE SAFETY COMMISSION.

for Material and cube sample testing : go to LAGOS STATE MATERIAL TESTING LABORATORY.

Others are

If building close to any water body: LAGOS STATE MINISTRY OF ENVIRONMENT (DRAINAGE DEPT)

Local Government ( department of environment).; u have to keep ur sites clean.

FEDERAL FIRE SERVICE.

Note : LAGOS STATE PHYSICAL PLANNING AND PERMIT AUTHORITY (LASPPPA) IS ALSO KNOWN INFORMALLY AS THE TOWN PLANNING.

U mean he shouldnt have gone through all these process? I thought dis was the legal way to do things.

Panda7:
Oga, looks like you don't have a good Mason to contract. Which one is contracting everyone

Following

I can never build a property in lagos state over my dead body

None of the inspectors is wearing safety apparatus.

I didn't even see any caution tape or any safety sign for that matter.

AWARENESS, my brother, the right information ..
YOUR FIRST CONTACT BEFORE YOU EVEN BUY A LAND SHOULD BE A REGISTERED TOWN PLANNER. ( THEY CHART THE LAND AND GIVE U A PLANNING ADVICE SUCH AS STATUS OF THE LAND, USE OF THE LAND, THE ATTAINABLE HEIGHTS, NO OF UNITS ETC).

IN CASE U DONT HAVE CONTACT OF A REGISTERED TOWN PLANNER, THERE ARE DISTRICT OFFICES IN EVERY LGA's( not local government offices ). JUST WALK IN (ENSURE U MEET AN OFFICIAL,PREFARABLY THE DISTRICT OFFICER(D.O), NOT SOME HANG AROUNDS..

CONCLUSIVELY, THE LAGOS STATE GOVERNMENT IS TRYING IN THE ASPECT OF CREATING MORE AWARENESS, SO AS TO MAKE THE PROCESS STRAIGHT FORWARD AND GUIDE PEOPLE FROM FALLING INTO WRONG HANDS.

The awareness is the primary reason i created this thread, and also for me to learn more from others.

There are many things we don't know in Nigeria. We mostly follow the less informed crowd and blame government for everything.

U ARE VERY CORRECT AND ON POINT BROTHER

Okay.
Tanks so much.

U talked about awareness. But i think some are aware but they said the process is too long and expensive.

YES BRO, PARTIAL AWARENESS IT IS. THE LAGOS STATE PHYSICAL PLANNING AND PERMIT AUTHORITY (LASPPPA) USUALLY HOLDS A STAKEHOLDERS MEETING PERIODICALLY, WHERE ALL STAKEHOLDERS ARE MEANT TO CONVERGE AND DISCUSS MATTERS ARISING INCLUDING THOSE U JUST MENTIONED. BUT U SEE THE TURN OUT IS USUALLY LOW..
(MOST PEOPLE ARENT AWARE OF THAT, THEREBY CHANNEL THEIR VIEWS AND PAINS ON WRONG PLATFORMS, THEREBY AMOUNTING TO JUST MURMURING).

Nice write-up
Okay.

hi please can you Dm me the contractor’s contact? Thanks

I paid 2.5M for tax alone, assessment is about 1M and 500k for facilitation fee plus other expenses just a four bedroom duplex on a half plot and still the approval is not out. This has started June 2023. I have every copies of all the processes so far. I kept thinking maybe to sell the plot.

abbiboy:
House never start just approval one is spending 3milla, does lagos state think everything is about IGR or making it conducive for people that want to build following proper construction standard.

Thanks for sharing bro. I have paid close to 5M for the approval of 4 bedroom duplex in a half plot since June 2023 and have not gotten the approval still.

ojasweb:
Most of the requirements from the LASBCA inspection are technical and handled by the engineer.

The major ones i remember is a mandatory mat for ground slab (german floor), and the spaces between rings for columns.

Congratulations to one of my bosses, this was educative, shey I no go find money come learn data analysis and Google ads bayi?

That's outrageous. How do they do your own assessment?

Residential property of that size shouldn't be that high.

If it's not handled by you, i hope the person in charge is being transparent with everything.

Nice and very detailed writeup esp the part about tax also the person who did most of the work for you is really good at the job.
Moreover you should let people know the type of building you plan on constructing, measurement of land and general area its situated as thats most of the factors that determine the price and time of approval.
Try getting the title to your land it might seem inconsequential but in lagos in the nearest future it will save your building..
Congrats in advance on your house warming..

That is averagely about the amount it cost to get approval for an averagely valued location in Lagos.

The rate you paid is well below average considering the size of your proposed building. Your processing time frame of about 4 months is also way shorter than the norm.

Purchase receipt of Land alone is not adequate, an evidence of payment of stamp duty to the FIRS(federal internal revenue se.rvice) is also required, this is also stressful.

It is in most cases difficult to get cleared on tax matters from the LIRS( Lagos internal revenue service) by just presenting the last 3 years tax clearance certificates. LIRS often demand for more money inform of taxation to be paid into the government Koffer.

If the process was as you said you experienced it in terms of cost and processing time frame, i don't think many prospective builders will be complaining the way they do now.

The process is exactly as i described, for me. However, like i said initially, there are possibilities that others won't have the dame experience.

I am also learning more from every contribution.

I will be processing another approval soon and i might as well share my experience.

I have not seen the dm or you can post it here. I want to engage him for my own project after he has done yours

I believe is just the way Lagos state is turning out to be in regard to real estate industry. All the payments were made to the Lagos state account with my payers ID and I have the receipt. The only one payment I made that was painful is the 500K for facilitation and yet the guy took the money and did nothing rather than telling my engineer what to do. In fact, I am tired and beginning to think selling the plot. They have given me approval number though.

I will never build now. This is the best opportunity to buy distressed properties of those who built cheap.

4 bedroom duplex is available around Ibeju Lekki.

Roofed already.

don't you think the distress sellers might want to sell their distressed properties based on today's reality?

Villa12:

They have no Choice, I see lots of cheap distressed properties, some of them need cash for new projects, some want to leave the country. The big opportunity now is in distressed properties.

what i mean is that they may sell it costly because they understand getting that same properties at this time of inflation economy will definitely cost more
