Thank you very much @olumide4christ. I really appreciate your feedback, this proves to me beyond reasonable doubt that this engineer guy wants to scam me, i also thought these offers are too good to be true, you just confirmed my suspicions. I would rather go with the reputable construction company that had handled many other projects for me before.


I still would love to continue with this commercial project even if it wouldn't fetch quick money. I would be glad if i could get more ideas on what to include in this project to make it more lucrative... Do you guys think i shouldn't include eatery in the building project? what about building offices?

How many shops, could be built on one acre of land with parking lot?

I dont have any idea of the shop size, i want to build an eatery so as to draw attention to the shopping centre.. i intend to lease all the shops and the eatery out. The sole intention of the project is to make profits, from the investment. The land is in shimawa behind redemption camp, i bought it from a reputable property company. There would also be other shops around, the whole area is still being developed.

Im open to any ideas, suggestions..

Hey Guys,

Im planning to build a shopping center on one acre of land and have no idea of how many shops can be built on it or what the structures would be, im pretty open to any ideas.

I was referred to a building contractor by a friend.. He gave me these pictures and he said he could be able to build this for 120Million naira

During the course of our discussion, he also said he could be able to build 9 shops and 1 eatry on the site for 36 Million Naira.

He now sent me the plans of what he's proposing.

I also contacted another reputable construction company, they said they could be able to build 10 - 13 shops on the same land for between 65M - 85M, they've already done some projects for me which im impressed with.

Now im confused, i would be saving a huge amount of money if the building contractor handles it because what he's proposing is way lesser than the big construction company, but im a little bit concerned if he's only trying to scam me as i've never dealt with him before.

I dont know how to attach photos to this site, but the first and second pictures are what he said he could build for 100 Million naira..

The Third and fourth pictures are what he said he can build for 36 Million naira, please who do you think i should trust with this project. Im a Nigerian in abroad, i need to make a decision this week or next.
