After buying a land, the next step for most people is to construct a building on it. Construction of buildings is more than just contracting your everyday artisans for construction. Certain established rule and principle have to be followed to ensure that the construction of such building is of good standard and safe for people living in, and around it.

We have heard severally about building collapsing all over Nigeria, some individuals have been arrested as regards this. For example, in March 2016, the Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of Lekki Gardens was detained over the collapse of a five story building under construction at Kushenla Road, Ikate Elegushi, Lekki Lagos. Apparently, the collapsed building was served with a contravention notice for exceeding the approved floors and thereafter sealed by the Lagos State Building Control Agency. The owner of the building, the promoter of Lekki Gardens however criminally unsealed the building and continued to build beyond approved floors. This act led to the death of about 30 people last year....... http://www.ibejulekkilawyer.com/consider-the-law…ing-on-that-land/
