12k for DPC?

Abi I’m dreaming ni? 100mm thick or just 25mm? Regardless the size of the building I have NEVER budget anything less than 50k for DPC. (Read this part slowly)

Below is what DPC look like even in the government affordable housing scheme. You’re not allowed to manually mix concrete. I do minimum of 8 concreters for a 100sqm footprint.

Machine Operator - 1
Cement - 1
Water - 1
Granite - 1
Sand - 1
Loader/Carrier - 3
Bricklayer (leveling) - 1

Where will you get casting crew that’ll accept N1,500.

I said you as a nigerian. America do not have a multi culture and tribe like us. Can you do it? Yes or no sir.

Keemsleek005:
Be truthful and be fair to yourself can you be the president and put that position in the hand of a fulani in respect of the tribe you come from? We should learn from past mistakes, just like Gej did and it almost cost obj too.

Racoon:
Nothing new! Another nepotic appointments! Must another Aboki replace Buratai as army chief? So what of Lt.Gen. Lamidi Adeosun that is still young in the service who ruthless dealth with BH? Congrats Alao!

gbadexy:
Can chemicals be shipped in one tonne capacity and do you have details of a reliable shipping agents.
With the rate prices are escalating, the only alternative is to get from the source so as to give clients reasonable price which the market is making a hard task.
Regards sir.

Good evening able builders , suppliers and prospective clients. It's a great pleasure stepping into this learning arena.

Pls my question is this: Is it cost effective for somebody outside the country (Asia) to be precise, to shop for home fittings like: WC's, lights and fittings ( both indoor & Outdoor), Television and home theater, AC's, curtains and fittings, kitchen cabinets, wrought irons for rails and fancy doors, solar street lights & CCTV etc.

Please, experienced expert advice is needed in terms of the cost of Container and shipping charges.
Is it cheaper over there as one is buying in bulk.

Enyinne:
Drop ooo . We need all cheap contact . Anyway i dey ur domot . Thanks in advance

segzyfunmi:
Good evening to everyone.


Pls I need a quick professional response on my matter.

My uncle wants to start his project in Abeokuta on Monday. His site has been cleared and foundation is to commence on Monday. He just funded his daughter's wedding last Saturday so he's not too boxed up, but he still insist on starting with one loose fund of #2.5million.

The problem is the engineer in charge is insisting on 3Million as indicated on the BOQ prepared by him, then an additional 5% of 3Million as the engineer's fee. Labour alone is 550k excluding engineer's fee.

It's a plot of land with very hard/dry soil in Abeokuta. The plan is strip foundation of 3bedroom up and 3bedroom down. That's just a storey building.

Professionals in the house pls help analyze if this high cost is worth it.

Hi Guys

Lets Get Started

We noticed a lot of people have always been duped while buying properties in Lagos. we would outline safety tips to take when buying a property in Lagos. A lot of ads have been going around in Lagos, concerning buying cheap properties all around Lagos especially in Places like Ibeju, etc
When buying landed properties in Nigeria (especially in Lagos), make sure you put all these tips into consideration and do thorough research.
I want to thank Omo Onile Lawyer and Grandezza for some of the tips it came in handy.

This tips would help those that live abroad especially.

It doesn’t matter if you are buying the land from a friend or a close relative whom you trust. Buying land in Nigeria is a financial transaction and should be treated as such. Don’t make yourself an easy target for a scam.

Let's get started

Make sure the land or property you are buying has proper documentation: It must have a valid C of O or other documents. ask for the title document of the property e.g. proof of ownership. Most developers don’t own the piece of land they constructed the property on. They usually do joint venture agreements with the true holders of the land.
you should ask for the following documents:
The Certificate of Occupancy (C of O)
The Survey Plan
The Tax Clearance Certificate
The Deed of Assignment
In most case, the document the original owner of the land has, contains a lot of deficiencies such as survey plan issues, wrong location of where the property is supposed to be on the layout, fake governor’s consent or C of O or deeds of assignment that were not properly executed by the family or outright fake documents to deceive the buyer

Investigate the property location by getting a competent lawyer: Before you buy a property make sure that the location is not facing a lawsuit, get a competent lawyer to help you check these issues. Don't buy a land that is facing a lawsuit already this could be by family issues or fraudulent transactions. Most people think because the area is developed there would be no more issues only for them to discover 2 major communal families have been fighting for decades concerning the ownership of the whole town.

Don't buy Properties from Omo-Onile, Buy from Professionals: Buy properties from competent real estate firms with established track records. Don't be thinking you are wise by buying lands from omo-onile and end up being duped and looking stupid. Some of these Omo-Onile can send land to more than 20 people. A lawyer, Surveyor, Architect, and a Real Estate Consultant, are the 4 most important people you must get in touch with before you buy a land. The lawyer is the only one that can draw up your contract papers legally. Any other landed document drawn up by any other person is null and void and you would not be allowed to process your papers at the Land registry.

Take Note of Fees: Before you buy that house, do your surveys to know the ancillary cost of buying a property that must be paid so you don't run into debts before you take possession. Agency fees are 5% of the cost of the property (negotiable), Legal fees to prepare all documents is 5% of the cost of the property (negotiable), Survey plan for a house is above N200,000. If it’s a semi-detached duplex each survey could cost N350,000. If you buy it in a Government scheme, only a government surveyor can draw a survey plan to divide the property properly. It’s called a subdivision and costs N750,000.

Visit the site in person: A growing number of people have been swindled just because they were too busy to carry out a thorough inspection of the land before making payment. For those living abroad make sure you send a relative or a friend, you can trust before you buy that property.

Written down transaction details, pictures of parties involved, and even video recordings can go a long way if something later goes wrong.

Take Possession of Your Land Immediately: Don't wait, if it's to fence round about it do it immediately and put a sign to scare of fraudsters and people that might try to be scammed too. Don’t just leave it fallow and expect it to wait there for you when you are ready. Somebody else would end up encroaching on your land and steal it.

I hope this helps

Hmmm

SurveyorGeo:
Thank you for doing justice to this, I totally agree with you sir, you deserve a bottle of wine sir.

Stevo30:
This is all shades of wrong. You pay tax on earned income in a juridiction. The best could have done is leavy. The governor Lagos do not pay income in fct and he should not be made to pay one of he has to build in Abuja but can pay levy and fees on the property. I guess they just see the clearance as a fee. So i have to dash Lagos state 750k-1.5m when i get to that stage. Gangster governance. Up till few years ago if you travel to some western countries you are refunded tax you paid on things you buy in the country on your way out at the airport.
