I Need Building Tips

Thanks a lot. This really helps. How much do the washed granite go for? I was advised that for Ajah terrain, granite is better. What do you think. Thanks.

Hello Guys,

I need your help - I am Yankee base and in the process of venturing into Naija real estate market. I recently got a quote for a plot (960 sqm) of Land in Lekki Phase 2 for 7.5 M Naira. Is this price reasonable for that area, I have heard a lot of stories of non naija base being reaped off by family members supervising their real estate projects? I am just trying to minimize my risk. Thanks a lot GURUS

Thanks ricki - for now I only want to restrict my investment on the Island due to the high ROI (Return on Investment). The rental income is very high on the island, back to my main question - is 7.5m naira a reasonable price for a plot of land in Lekki Phase 2. Guys I beg I need your imputs - I work very hard for my money. Thanks

does any please know how much a plot of land costs at Abraham Adesanya estate ajah. I being offered 2.5M plot of land to build a bungalow.

Also does anyone have any rough idea how much it would cost to build a 3 bed bungalow with decent finishing at the same estate.

I would appreciate if someone please provides information as I am based in the UK.

Hello londoncool,

I have always express my own opinion about this issue you raised. why not save yourself all this stress by building a house without sweat. The only way you can do this si to have the right proffessionals to handle your project. One, get an architect to do your design and get the plan approved with the government. After this, get a qualified building contractor not a bricklayer to come up with the cost for the building project and after this get a cost consultant who should be a quantity surveyor to check the cost supplied and as well who will be helping you in the course of construction to check the work of the contractor if the work done is commesurate with the money paid to him. With this you will have peace of mind as this proffessionals will serve as checks and balances for each other while your brother overseas everybody and reports back to you. I am a builder and i always believe in handling a building project proffessionally. you can reach me on 08029478202 or e mail seggs.partners@yahoo.com in case you want to get a builder

@boye/larry,

Thanks for your tips. They have been noted. I will be in Calabar by next month to supervise the construction of the fenced wall round the plot of land, then sit down with the Architect over the final building design and get it approved. Would you be able to take up a building contract in Calabar as I presume you are in Lagos ?
