Hummmm , it shouldn't get to that . I just did decking last week , and i used around 600k for wood and bamboo inclusive 350 pcs of it .I went to the wood stand to purchage it with my carpenter so he can make his choice. My house is 4 flats of 3unit of 2bedroom and 1 unit of 3bedroom .i used 210 bags of cement, bought 2 tipper of 30tons of sand ,2 tippers of 30tons of granite of which i still hv some granite remaining , total spent is 2.2m inclusive staircase, plumbing material , electrical materials and labour

Wow! This definitely a huge difference in price as compared to the price I had to pay all together for planks ,bamboo,nails and the likes that amounted to 1.2m+ And this even despite I had some I trust to have to take the carpenter to go get the wood.

Some so called 'engineers' are actually quacks.

Let me say this. You are not a lawyer just because you went to Unilag or OAU to study law. You must be called to Bar before being called a Lawyer. That is what is happening with the speaker of the LAHA. You are not an engineer because you graduated with HND or Bsc in any engineering related field, until you become a COREN certified. Anyone that studies Estate Management in the Higher institution is not an Estate Surveyor and Valuer, but a graduate of Estate Management. To become an Estate Surveyor and Valuer, you must be certified by RICS (Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors UK) or By ESVARBON (Estate Surveyors and Valuers Registration Board of Nigeria)

You need to ask your engineer for his COREN certificate, otherwise he's just a graduate and not a professional.

Yes, you need approval before you can carryout any development in Lagos State, as dictated by the Urban and Regional Development Planning Law 2010.
For you to pull down a building, you must get approval. For you to construct, you need approval.

Lagos State Building Control Agency (LASBCA) is an enforcement agency under the Ministry of Physical Planning and Urban Development of Lagos State. They are responsible for sealing up illegal development. Your development is illegal.

Illegal Development is described as any development without requisite approval from the MPPUD Lagos State.

But LABSCA does not have any write to demand such, unless the site is sealed and you're told to pay unsealing fee to LASG, which is N250,000. Not as bribe, but to be receipted.

To buttress your point, when a site is sealed by LASBCA property owner will be officially asked to pay a certain amount which is dependent on the type of property, commercial or residential.

For residential: 250,000 for contravention fee and 150,000 for Unsealing fee.

Commercial: 250,000 for contravention fee and 250,000 for Unsealing fee.

According to Lagos State Urban and regional law 2010, you should have your approval (development permit) before you even do your setting out.

I will like to follow up on the roofing because I know that’s where another huge spending will come to surface and I am looking forward to start paying detailed attention from that point onward.

Not all field officers are bad, at times it is even better to deal with them than the district heads. They are the ones on field, whatever they report that they saw is what the district head will accept. When you have good rapport with the field officers you won't have any issue.

Also NO District Head will allow you go free or waive Unsealing fee for you without you tipping him(not little tip).

Even when you have your approval, there are still ways to milk you grin. Your dream house or your choice of house might not be approvable, drawings submitted for approval are not always the same as your working drawings, that's where conformity check comes in.

This statement is full of pride . Who told u , u cant do more if u give a little discount to more client that contacts u .If someone like u that is just installing roofing sheet talks carelessly this way ,what do u want the owner of companies like tower aluminum to say . Calm down , your still growing . The economy is hard so make some price adjustment to attract more clients.

I thought as much but because I got someone else who gave me a perfect roofing work I found it worthless going back and forth... I did refer the roofer to 2 other on going roofing projects of my friends, that could have been him!

I need an education on precast parapets.

My current project will look better with a parapet due to some constraints but we did not introduce pillars from the foundation on this first of five buildings. This leaves out the traditional parapets.

So if you’ve dealt with this recently I’ll love to get your feedbacks. Thanks.

Thank you for your concern, I wouldn’t mind for sure but they demanded I pay them 100k since an approval scheme hasn’t been set yet for the site which is at boys town ipaja(just handed to the family over court judgement) and that I needed to get the permit from them too.
But if there is anything otherwise I could do , for sure I would welcome the idea not to pay that sum of money that is off the records

P&T Boy's Town is not yet free, the land is said to belong to Nitel. Though we heard they've resolved it in court in favour of the Omo Onile. But until Gazette is released, no property in that Estate can be granted approval.

I digress, LASBCA now request for letter of Authorization to Commence construction, that's where you will be nailed despite not giving approval. And when your site is sealed for residential it's 400,000. 250,000 for contravention fee and 150,000 for unsealing fee.

Send me a DM.

Hello painters in the house and anyone with experience with this.

The rough finish we see across the attached pictures are quite common nowadays, my questions are;

1/ Which kind of paint is used to achieve that rough finish?

2/ Does the wall need to be prepared differently from other plastered areas? Just as we leave the wall rough for wall tiles, is that same or it should be plastered smooth.

3/ Do we need to screed the areas or not if we want to achieve that horizontal groove/band and rough finish in those little sections as in pictures 1&2?

Any other specific tips are welcome.

Thanks
