Please my Boss in the house...

Is there anything like Lcda/Local government development fee in Lagos State?
I was approached by the so-called officials last weekend for payment of Development fee.

Awaiting feedback from the house.
Thanks

Please help shed more light on this.
Is the setback rule the same for ground floor and upper floors? Or upper floors can be slightly lesser. Say 3m for ground floor and between 1m to 3m for upper floors?

1.) it is from the DPC level.
2.) there are about 18 columns, the kitchen has about 6, 3 at either sides. the reason i asked is that people don't talk much about it on NL.

No doubt about your post, you are very correct.
But what I’m trying to point out is that we can get our wall 70-80pec smooth without screeding.
What most people/ artisan believed now is that only screeding can make your wall smooth which is very wrong there poor handling of job make client believed them ( artisan).
More so you can get your paint well smooth without screeding, if your wall is nicely plastered coupled with prima as undercoat.

Focusmind:


I thought that screeding of external walls also brings out the smoothness and finess of paints. When walls are not screeded, the beauty of the final painting work tends not to be that smooth.

You are correct with this. eg. Satin paint on screed wall does the graphics.

Screeding also helps to ward off retention of rain splashes on the wall. I stand to be corrected.

Some of the people Ambode sacked at Ministry of Physical Planning in Lagos have found their way to be appointed into office in Ogun State in the ministry of Physical Planning.

They're implementing their revenue drive at they ministry in a terrible way. I had the opportunity of telling the commissioner last year that they need to be more people friendly.

Imagine us being billed ₦7,300,000 as assessment for Gas skid.

We bought the land ₦1,000,000
We spent ₦2,400,000 to put up the skid.
Less than ₦4,000,000 on land and skid

Physical Planning is now asking for ₦7.3m assessment to get approval. Just imagine approval cost higher than land value and cost of development.

How will they attract investment into Ogun State that way?

We have 6-7 projects like that they we would be paying over ₦45m to get ordinary approval.

Note that this is still different from cost of obtaining C of O. By the time Lands Bureau bill you, theirs could be as high as ₦5m to obtain C of O. Cause of revenue, government fees is higher than cost of investment on project

No wonder almost all Gas Plant and Filling Stations in Ogun State do not have approval due to insensitivity of government.

Wouldn't it be better to slash the fees and invite more people to come forward for approval than chasing people away?

Well, she only threw it at you and you accepted it. It’s not written in stone that you must give her kickback.

I’ll agree with you if this is happening in Lagos but in Ogun or Ibadan or Ondo state where almost everyone can afford to buy land and build a house, this will be as easy as pie.

If it’s taking so long for a 5k form to be oversubscribed, you should understand that there are many doubters and those who felt they have better alternatives which makes it easier for those who have subscribed.
I did my maths already and I found the N5.5m 2 bed carcass a worthwhile investment when I consider the following:

- Cost of land
- Cost of documentation
- Cost of building a 2 bed apartment expandable to 3
- Cost of providing infrastructure (road, electricity to say the least) There’s fence, water and adequate security.

For me, I knew I’m getting a house or three from the Scheme and it’ll come easy. This ain’t my first buy. I got Laderin in 2009.

I hope government are not allowing one big man to buy this wholesale and then resale to the highest bidder.

Guys, please help my client select the best look to his new house,

1st picture: The 3d rendition from the original architect (we didn't like the look)

2nd picture: A picture my client picked and loves for me to use it to replace the first picture.

3rd picture: The new design I worked out with my architect (Phildecasa) so we can use it to replace 1 and 2.

The question now is which of the views should we use, which do you think looks better for this house we are just starting to build?

Thanks for your comments.
