Ok, I want to bring a matter here as well, there is a certain Aluminium guy here, I will save his name for now, he has done a lot of work for me, I mean in the millions!
Roof - problems, executes, stories from start to finish.
Windows- we are still at corrections after 2 years! Inferior materials.
Bathroom doors - used inferior materials
NOW BATHROOM CUBICLES - PLS HELP US SETTLE THIS BECAUSE I KNOW HE WILL READ THIS, WE AGREED IN DECEMBER FOR HIM TO BUILD 3 CUBICLES, IN DECEMBER 2021!! THEY WERE NOT FIXED UNTIL MARCH ! ONE STORY AFTER THE OTHER, HOW THE CHINESE FACTORY WAS CLOSED,,,,,, NOW, I HAVE PAID 400k OF THE 440K AGREED. YESTERDAY HE TEXTED THAT THEY FINISHED AND I NEED TO PAY THE BALANCE, I SAID ONLY AFTER MY INSPECTION. UPON INSPECTION, I SENT HIM PICTURES OF THINGS THAT NEED TO BE CORRECTED BEFORE ANY PAYMENT. AND HE IS INSISTING THAT I NEED TO PAY HIM, HIS WORKERS ARE FAMILY MEN, (I DON’T KNOW WHAT I MA!)
HONESTLY, I HAVE GIVEN THIS GUY MORE CHANCES THAN HE DESERVES! I AM NOT PAYING A PENNY UNTIL ALL CORRECTIONS ARE COMPLETED!!

ARE MY WRONG? What is really going on here

kopell:
Scare ke, there are may places where 1.5m can build one moderate 2 bedrooms bungalow. In Lagos you no better, from land fees, building permits, towns planning fee, building approval, safety, soil test depending on location etc. So tell me all those fees when you do right, are the not more then 1.5m? Tax a lone to get approval is average of 200k or more, when you’re not regular tax payers in the state.

From experience you are right, imagin paying 1.5m for tax

Don’t scare people sir!

Though am a silent reader on this forum but I need to say something on the issue of regulatory agency in lagos, Honestly they are not helping potential builder at all. In my own case I almost abandoned the project when I realised the money I will need to pay Lagos state govt before I can start building .
Imagine paying 1.5m for tax when such money can go a long way in building process not to talk of other agency involved in building approval. For me you must be prepared when building in Lagos.
Except you want short cut which is very risky and can make you pay more at the end of the day
