Lagos Material Testing Laboratory Notice by omoola007(m): 3:48pm On Feb 27, 2016
I am working on a renovation and received this notice from Lagos State Material Testing Lab.

What do I do next. I am afraid this is another egunje fiesta. No matter what they will want to extort me. The building was built in 1988 and needs major cosmetic renovation. Structurally it's very fine. We will need to do some cement patching and repair some cracks.

Has anyone dealt with them before ? What's their approach? Are they fair or just another hungry department of government.

I really don't know. They seem to be agile these days. Even though I wonder what will happen if one does not go for the test,however, I am in support of the test. We need to ensure our structures are in the right standing. That way, we will rarely have news of collapsed buildings that killed innocent people.

Plz, do you have an idea of their charges? I might just call them to conduct test on my house.

Their charges for NDT depend on the type of structure.

okay tanx. But how much per floor? If I have four apartments of standard 3 bedroom flats on 2 floors (ground floor and 1st floor). How much do u suppose I will pay? A rough estimate will suffice.
Re: Lagos Material Testing Laboratory Notice by rydeorsail(m): 10:50pm On Feb 28, 2016
between 100-150k will suffice.
did 2 mini duplex for 70k

Take the notice they gave to you to their office or check the back of the notice for any phone number.
