Good Morning!

Off to Ogombo site for the commencement of soil test.

NEW UPDATE!
Check out "The Guardian, Monday 18 July 2011" for the new procedures for obtaining Governor's consent and guide to applicable rates for buildings and lands within Lagos state.
In case you can't get the newspaper, I'll be updating the new rates when I gain time later today.

I'll also update new rates for obtaining building approvals in Ogun state.

^^^Oga, I really don't know the block maker from Adams. I just picked him out of about 20 block makers in the area and give him my specification/requirement.

You too can do same, tell them the kind of quality you want and have your bricklayer/engineer confirm it.

Moving block from Arepo to Shangisha will cost fortune o.

Take a sneak peek into NextHome's Website (still under construction). On the new platform (Facebook and our Weblog), we are introducing a new series called [I]The 12 steps to building your Dream House[/i], which will expand month by month into a complete guide to building a home.

We will also be enlisting the help of design experts and engineers to investigate why some houses stand while others are falling. Not leaving out cost-saving tips and strategies.

Many thanks to all our fans who'd been playing critical role in the success of this thread.

Thank you,

NextHome

Good effort with these flamboyant houses, but my fear is you may be sending a wrong message. I may be wrong but I believe that a greater number of your teaming fans, well wishers and prospects will probably not be in a position in the next year or two in building those structures.

I will hope that you show those flamboyant structures in the same breath with immediately "achievable"  down scale projects and tell your well wishers how you can "steal" some of those up-end concepts and translate/relate same into a budget any prospecting client can achieve. Just my small advice o.

Thanks for your advice!

At NextHome, we believe if you provide exceptional service, you increase your price. When you're exposed to beauty, it will radiate to every part of your life and business. It will elevate your understanding of excellence and the quality of services you'll provide or demand.

When successful people sorround themselves with beauty and flamboyancy, it's generally assumed they are showing off. Although, it may be true but beauty exposes us to a new level from which we can learn, grow and improve our lives. It explain the reason why many choose to live abroad.

Our true fans, prospects and well wishers will associate with us and our projects because it implies that they also have great tastes.

MPEROR:
Is that Nigerian architecture?

Yes, they are one of the finest in Nigeria.

LEKKI PHASE 1, LUXURY FLAT

This isn't a house that shouts 'look at me', instead its windows, doors, grand entrance, cladding and even colour are saying 'Welcome'

Ikoyi Luxury Flat

TODAY'S UPDATE

I got to the site very later today (around 3pm) due to heavy traffic on 3rd Mainland bridge. On getting to the site, the aboki man had cleared some portion of the site leaving the heavily flooded part. I think we should be fine carrying out the test in the cleared portion.

Pic Updates

1. Road leading to the site
2. The land - cleared
3. NextHome Team - in a boat to another project site in Ikorodu
4. Water

See More on my thread - Lekki Phase 1

Hey Spyder - kudos to you.

What kind of people do you think would be living in such a place? Politician, Yahoo-Yahoo, 419 - Properties like this are for the big boys in the telecoms, banking, oil industry, expatriates and the like.

Such property attracts high profile clients - no be politician. Make I no talk too much jare.

Just take time to visit.

Let's digress.

Oga Fhemmmy, those houses are serviced-apartments maintained by the people we call Facility Managers. The services provided includes Power Supply/Generating set (lights always on 24/7/365, high speed wireless internet service, intercom facility, laundry service, gymnasium, security service (alarm/cctv system), DSTV and every other thing you can think of in a luxury house.

This one no be political speech o. Just think of what N300m can buy!

@Fhemmmy, maintenance! These houses are what we call serviced-apartment. As you see am so, na so he go be for life.
That's the truth.

@demain-man, thanks.
@Blink, I remain loyal. Those houses are very expensive to build. I cannot give you exact figure but similar project that I did in Ikoyi costs around N2.5bn
The pictures are there draw inspiration and forget about all the uninspiring designs and concepts we have nowadays.
A guy asked for a concept from me on NL and I told him my cost - he thinks I'm too expensive.

Well, he maybe right! But what I know is that Brabus and NextHome, in not too distant future will be more expensive.
I'll give out some concepts for free on my website one of this day, maybe we can draw one or two inspirations from them.

UPDATE - OGOMBO SOIL INVESTIGATION RESCHEDULED.

Due to heavy downpour at the site where we presently have our RIG to be used for the boring test, we had no choice than to reschedule the test on this site till Monday.
I personally apologize for the inconveniences caused as I know most of you guys are already waiting for updates. I got the info very late.

However, I'll still be visiting the site to see how far the aboki man has gone with the clearing.

So, expect some update.

No Chinese doors! Simple aluminium windows. Nice and spacious compound.

Beauty and elegance are not just something pretty but products of personal style that come from within.

That explain the reason why Blink didn't see the beauty until now.

I think we need a rethink now. I hate seeing those houses with concrete poles we call pillars and worst of all bad renderings.

Did you guys noticed anything similar in all the projects? They are simple design with modest architectural finish. Check the windows and doors.

@Aventures, more grease to your elbow! You can build anywhere when you give your job to the expert.

I didn't know you do soil investigation, I just gave out one site to an engineering firm yesterday. Hoping to do business with you in the nearest future.

Good morning!

NextHome will moving down to Ogombo from today for Geo-technical Soil Investigation. Follow along, let's learn new things!

Admission is still free!!!

While you wait for updates, pls kindly visit page 18 to feed your eyes with the best of naija LUXURY homes in Ikoyi, Lagos.

I used to laugh back then when we say we are building luxurious house. I no go lie - I'm not part of the team that designed or worked on any of the building above but I think there are 3 or more projects like this that I have been priviledged to work on in the same Ikoyi.

So when we say luxury, I sabi the definition well well.

As for professionalism, imagine if someone who had worked in any other building above is giving advice, suggestion and report? So don't be surprised at all Bro.

I love Nigeria!

Yesternite, na Ikoyi night - maybe we should do Oniru today.

Go to eBay, buy online, send it down and we will install for you.

Well done Spyder!

I met one-on-one with one of your silent follower (living Magodo Phase 1, Lagos) and he asked a very funny question "Are those (Spyder's) price realistic?". My answer is "They are realistic in Enugu and not Lagos" especially not in area like Magodo.

Keep up the good work Bro. Lagos people dey enjoy you o!!!
