MrOkenwa:
I did a roofing 3 months ago and another roof installation is ongoing today. Last week, I collected 4 different quotations and they all gave different measurements(673, 723, 759, and 820). I chose the 673sq mtr. The price of the aluminum longspan and workmanship were somehow close. one of the installers told me that it is "oja okunkun". that is, the more you look, the less you see .
Meanwhile, we have wonderful members here who can handle the roofing and various other works. They are very good at what they do. I engaged 3 guys here during my last build( Abolarin91, Adedward and the archi guy that hardly visit this thread). they did wonderful job for me. Mr Ade is handling the 30 windows of my present build.

SurveyorGeo:
The price is not fixed and straightforward, the size and location of the land matter a lot, send me a message on WhatsApp, I will send you a guide. 08069018449

SurveyorGeo:
You apply for it at the office of surveyor general, Alausa, You will attach a survey plan to your application, official price is from10k depending on the size of the land and title on the survey plan, if the title on the survey plan is commercial or company name, then the price is double

SurveyorGeo:
Yes sir, it is called Land Information Certificate. it gives information on what the land has been earmarked for, either residential, commercial, mixed use or industrial purpose, and it also gives information on status of the land, that is the land is Free from government acquisition or revocation. it is one of the requirements for C of O and it is valid for six months. attached picture is a sample.
I hope this will help.

I was on project yesterday. The client needed my equipment and 200 bags of cement for his slab work. He started with prayers and he told me “God can use you!”

I replied “Yes, I believe!” and I gave him my bill and account details. Then I offered suggestions on how to save big on his project.

- rent my mixers and get church members to work as laborers.

- arrange a truck to transport my mixers to and fro his site.

- arrange a truck to move cement from my site at controlled price (saving almost 400 per bag)


God has used me already!

did you pay money to his account?

The dude that was going to do my roof is a pastor
He try to play me three time
The second time , I told him to watch himself
he didn't , I got him
Third time I was just silence unlike me
I have done the roof work and I will reach out to him soon greedy fool
Nigerians including me are all pure evil
Yes all of they go to mosque and churches
There are more churches in Nigeria today compare to 33 years ago
Today Nigerian brother and sisters are all about money
The reason we have more people using their parent for money
Girls pants for money
Going to Ghana for juju
Cult

timileyinoyela:
with all due respect,I said after getting the work done. That means I will prepare the quotation for u to give to whosoever u are referring to me,it's a business strategy,it's a compensation,what I realise is from the job is not your business,the basic thing is to deliver my service and my client get satisfied with my job,I can buy something of #10 and decide to sell for #500, it's business. It's a business. Don't come on my page and say people shouldn't do business with me,so far I am not defrauding any people here,I myself might not even see up to #50,000 but the satisfaction with job which will make people to recommend you to other people is the goal

Haaa, jah bless yah!
Skimanski was the name l just could not remember.
Dude does very neat lines and l have not heard any complaints about him, from his Clients.
@Brabus/n3xt has his strengths (brilliant ideas, tenacity, etc) and l will bet he is one for the 'future', Time is still blowing air on certain things and we should allow the wind to blow. I have been around here for too long.
Thanks Sir.


NB: The emphasis on my Post are about people that do a good job, to the satisfaction of the Client, WITHOUT HISTORY COMPLAINTS from their Client
Other Service Providers just have to satisfy their Customers, to earn their Purple Star.

Wingnut007:
You and I are in the exact position, down to the thought process. We have ruled out Ikorodu for the same set of reasons and tilted towards Ibeju-Lekki. Bogije (Beechwood Estate specifically) is at the top of our list and we have been there twice. This weekend, we will be going to the area again to inspect couple of estates, make a final decision and commit to it immediately. Our rent will be due in about a year and we don't plan on renewing it. Our budget is about the same as yours and what's more disturbing is that it is fast losing value and purchasing power. Our only concern now is if good and affordable schools and hospital/healthcare is in the vicinity.

Wingnut007:
I agree. Building is better as you also get the flexibility of design and customization.

If you would, where would you recommend in Ibeju-Lekki?

General opinion:

Please house, as the spirit leads you, when a Professional (Architect, Q.S, Installer, Builder, etc) does a brain job for you for free (I am talking about jobs that require much time and calculations, as against just an off-the-cuff answer to simple questions, it might be a good practice to send them a token, to show appreciation for their time, in the event that we are not contracting them for a job, in due course.

Why do l say this?
Caveat: They did not send me and they did not ask and l am not one of them

But l also realise that this is what they do for a living, they have families to feed (though it is not the token WE GIVE, that will feed their families and they are not hungry, anyway) but it is just to let them know that we are not taking advantage of their good heart and kindness.

I have seen (for example only) a lot of DETAILED ANSWERS from the QSfemi, to many people in the last few weeks and know that he is not the person supervising the jobs for which he is giving free 'materials and cost' help for. While we all love a quick response that potentially saves us hundreds of thousands of Naira in some cases, in my humble opinion, l think sending 'small change' to the person who helped me to save such amount, will be a kind gesture of goodwill, to motivate such Professionals into keep helping us here and not think we are just Freeloaders!

I noticed that one of us here asked him a direct question: How much do you Charge?
Another person requested for an even bigger help from the QS (and he gave it for free) and said 'Thank you'
I know a lot of people here have good hearts to help others, as much as they can, for free

From a 10K Recharge Card, #20K cash, Consultancy/Supervision engagement, Paid Site Visit engagement, etc, depending on affordability and how much you appreciate the help of such Professional[b][/b], it will goes a long way to show gratitude, in cases where you cannot afford to engage their services.


PS: I just used the QS as an example, him nor send me message o. We can all testify to his good heart here already.
So many other people offer good advice, technical support, etc, for free, from Builders, Suppliers, Archys, Engineers, Installers, experienced DIY enthusiasts, etc
That is one of the things that makes this community a great place to be. My appreciation goes to every one here who have helped others, in one way or the other, to realise their dream of owning a House, especially Kobokobo people like us who cannot afford to retain Julius Berger.

I come in Peace.

somehow:
Okay sir, thanks

That means every part of Ibeju Lekki is okay?

Someone even suggested Isheri north where Channels TV is

I am just afraid of the future in some of these areas. Water can't be fought so I would not want to contest land with water.

jaytime:
I'm talking about Bogije neighborhood.
You can get lands in good Estates for at least 7m. I mean Estate that you can build immediately and move in. However there are lands in futuristic (less built) estates for 5m or less depending on the location.

somehow:
Hello house

please I need assistance

Need to get a property in lagos but the location is an issue to me.

I want a place i plan to move into within 1-3 years.

I dont fancy extreme ends of lagos irrepecstive of the direction.

i am a first timer

who can advice me on what to do?

one mind is saying i should go for an apartment, another wants me to build from scratch

wifey prefers ikorodu if we ever settle for extreme ends but for the fear of bad roads/insecurity while i prefer ibeju lekki but for the fear of flood. (both within an estate)

We both want mainland proper but lands/properties there are scarce and expensive with the issue of omonile and other fees if we eventually see where we can afford.

Can anyone advice me here?

Thanks

I challenge anyone who thinks SUV or a car with a very high frame could be the solution to drive from Owerri to Okigwe. I believe that is the worst road in the whole universe. I was unfortunate to have driven through that road two weeks ago. I had to replace my body lotion with Abonikin after that.

Good morning Nairalanders,

Been a long time I have been here. Good to be back. I will appreciate recommendations for a trusted door installer, tiler & a POP expert.

Thank you.

Thou shall not STEAL!

Its do-able but you must ask yourself whether the One Foot is worth the cost.
What you can do, considering that the DPC and its tied-columns is what carries the weight of the building, is to Cast a Raft covering the On foot and the DPC together, to form one whole.
Cast the One foot up to about 3" above the current DPC and then CONCRETE re-floor all TOGETHER.
That would tie the old and the new in one struture, otherwise cracks would develop where both meet, if just done along side each other.

Hope l was clear to understanding sha.
