The processing started and documents sent to the headquarters.

I got the assessment report and the need to make payment.

A cropped copy of the assessment report is attached.

Among the initial documents submitted for the processing are:

1. Original land purchase receipt.
2. Deed.
3. Original survey paper.

The property documents submitted to the person in charge of the approval processing.

PS: I used someone who's a level 14 staff of town planning in the state (Lagos).

He proceeded with the approval process and shared the necessary requirements including tests to be performed, layouts, involved parties, and fees.

I will highlight them below.

I sketched the original idea of the construction and transferred the sketch to the architect for perfection.

We got the designs ready including architectural, structural, mechanical and electrical.

The process began in September, 2023.

First thing, we got the deed for the land and proceeded with the survey to confirm the status.

Survey results came out good and we got a certificate from the office of the surveyor general of Lagos state.

Let me make this disclaimer before i open the thread.

This thread is my personal experience on getting a building approval in Lagos, and it might not be the same for everyone else.

Also, things might have changed depending on the time you're reading the post.

Lastly, i might not remember everything involved since i contracted the process to a more experienced person.

The process began in September, 2023.

I bought at 9,200 few minutes ago.

GanagiBitrus:
You are talking more of politics than humanity.
Look, Nigeria came into existence via a forced Union of Diverse ethnic nationalities & it's only sensible that such groups have a say in how they wish to co-exist peacefully as one nation.

But, If you feel rotational presidency is not good enough, I gave an option of regional government which I believe will engender healthy competition & make every region to strive to be self-sufficient. You would be surprised the progress made by each region after a decade.

We are of the same view but still we must acknowledge reality.

Politics anywhere in the world is not entirely played on humanity ground. A lot of dark deals are done behind the scenes.

Requesting for a ban on certain regions is not being realistic. It will be like forcing other regions to accept whoever is presented.

Yes, regional government will be the best we can advocate for and it will still be a very difficult demand.

GanagiBitrus:
Presidency should be rotated among the 6 Geopolitical Regions, for the sake of Unity, Peace & Fairness.
No region should be marginalised.

Either this or Restructuring into Regional Govts.

Rotation will not be without voting. As long as the president will be determined by votes, and every region will be required to vote, then this bill is definitely a fluke.

You want to ban a geopolitical zone from contesting but want them to vote.

What matters is for each region to behave themselves and play the politics the right way.

dejonathan:
Are you still gonna blame the government for this or the silly civil servants that's doing all they can to sabotage the government

The reason i don't have any pity for Nigerians abroad when they get treated terribly. We the citizens are doing more damages to the country than the government itself.

Leaking a circular that is not meant for the public is the height of stupidity and supposed to carry heavy weight punishment.

If you are waiting to be in the government before you'll know what's going on then you need to be checked.

A lot of people in government have once criticized the government terribly bad.

tomoregie:
What about properties already built and sold without approval? can you please state the Lagos State Office where this is treated?

Property built without approval can still get post construction approval, however, it may be costlier than the preconstruction approval. Importantly, the land must be free from acquisition or disputes.

My own was processed by a person in town planning office. However, the main approval and stage supervision is handled by LASBCA.

Dreal1247:
But before committing ones life savings to any project, one is supposed to embark on comprehensive due diligence and proper environmental impact assessment.

Only few people are truly interested in following the due process.

I am working on a project and the process is quite tough.

I have done the approval and paid nearly 2M to the state government, excluding tax which is required for the full approval. Even at that, i still need to write letter for inspection at every stage of the process.

Many people just play victim but deep down they know that they don't do the due diligence.

Hatesin:
Present Sir!

Meanwhile, please what is the width and height of that your tank stand?

Again, did you use rods for pillars or was it just blocks?

I will confirm the area but i think it's about 4ft by 4ft.

Yes, i use rods for the four corners.

Who's ready to follow my new project?

mariahAngel:
African leaders' definition of leadership is leadasheep.

Everything is not about Africa. UAE and other countries take similar measure to maintain sanity in their digital space. Insulting elderly people on social media for the entire world to see is not a good way of calling them to order.

Same people who insult politicians will immediately remember their mental health when you insult them or expose their fake lifestyle.

Fiver:
Good job sir

Did you seal the interlocking? What is it like in rainy season

What type of sand/cement did you use after laying the bricks

Yes we sealed the interlocking. It doesn't have any issue so far. However, little sloppy close to the fences, so i will have it maintained soon.

Sharp sand and dangote cement.

yeyebrity:
Pls, can you shed more light on the parapet? Is the artwork parapet another type of parapet or does it fall under the precast parapet? Are the materials needed for this type of parapet different from other types of parapet?

I will ask my engineer to join the thread to answer. His handle is TOBAB...

#1. is generosity. I am glad i took that from him.

#2. fearless and determined. My dad never attended primary school but can go anywhere.

#.3 extremely responsible. He has multiple wives and children and he made sure that all his children are educated.

There's definitely more traits of this great man that i will keep.

HellVictorinho6:
U are confused cuz i never blamed the govt 4 what citizens do.

Only corrected u when u claimed to know everyones expectationz



Cost of govnace 2 high whether u like am or not

Ur mention of public and private schools is needless

U think u have seen everyones purse that way

If u cant do the project as a rich man with ur fellow rich men,then allow sapa to reduce u.


Govt spokesman that needs no govt salary

Like i said, the rant can continue.

HellVictorinho6:
Dumping into canal is not an evidence that all is expected for free

Govt does not even need ur defense whether or not they are right cuz they have lawyers already

U just sit wherever and conclude average citizens can afford LAWMA then u expect them not to stone u at every chance


Naija cant be developed until those earning in dollars like u behave urself in this regard

U give the govt fake reasons to do nothing but loot,loot and reloot ,then scam the entire world by claiming to be 4 nigerian development.

Loot here simply means taking more than u deserve.

U literally wanna feed tha most dogs even better than what many teachers can afford, pay people peanuts to be ur errand bois till old age instead of training them 4 a better job and it goes on that way.

Your rant doesn't validate anything but the usual chorus of the majority (blame the government).

In Lagos state, public primary and secondary schools are free. However, majority of the residents send their kids to private schools.

Reason:

Strike? NO.

Quality education? NO, because many of the government schools provide way better education than the private that are mostly for extortion.

However, the parents can pay 15,000 per term for school bus for a 5 year kid in private schools. Some of them have 2 or more kids.

But when it's time to pay 1000 for household waste disposal then they remember they don't have money.

Ranting... ranting... ranting...

I am a Nigerian and i am not excluded in the system.

If you choose to ignore the fact that the majority of Nigerians are terrible, then keep to your beliefs.

Where i live, a community project was to be executed and the excos are to let everyone know what it would cost.

They inflated the project from 700,000 to 1,500,000.

How do i know? Three of us eventually do the project since the inflated cost has caused the delay for over a year.

I don't have to attack the government all the time.

I have seen Nigerians dumping their household waste in gutter, blocking water flow thereby contributing to flooding.

But no. It is the government.

Everyone is free to join in blaming the government.

HellVictorinho6:
What facilities 4 public sanitation has the govt put in place?

Spitz

I do not know about this particular area in Lagos, however, in most places, LAWMA trucks operate every week.

Unfortunately, many people will prefer to keep their waste until night before dumping them into the canal, instead of using the available facility (LAWMA).

The reality is that the average Nigerians expect everything free.

They won't pay to dispose their household waste because they believe it is something the government can do for free.

Terrible citizens.

I will strongly recommend content and affiliate marketing.

Why?

This will help you to learn more about sales.

Once you master the act of selling online, every other skills you acquire will be profitable for you.

You will be able to sell your skills without stress.

But if you have to choose other areas, then SEO is very good.

Mummyfour:
We have people who engage in and support illegalities.

This particular statement is the worst thing about the majority of Nigerians.

The way people glorify, engage, and support illegalities and find justifications for it is alarming.

I better not use them

brianromel:
Digital marketing agencies, really.

Hmmm

Tried one we found online once, and it was over 200,000 of wasted Facebook ads.

Now I manage our Google and Facebook ads , n house for my office, haven't spent months on trainings

Have spent over 700k on Facebook ads and over $4900 on Google call ads

We now know what works and my boss doesn't even want to hear the word agency.

My advise to you so called digital marketing agencies that focus or ads

Try to understand your customer needs indept, it shouldn't be always all about the money first.

Be willing to run a small test that shows results, it shouldnt always be about money first .

You have good points because there are so many do-it all digital marketing agencies that end up wasting companies' time and money without giving them any reasonable result.

We can't blame the businesses that hire them, however, it is also important for businesses to be able to identify desperate agencies from the onset. Their response to almost every question is in the positive. After all, they are seriously looking for clients.

Result oriented agencies are not desperate for clients. They are not cheap either. And they don't take on every client that comes their way. They are realistic with their promises, and they can back things up with data.

jideflash:
This is a very inciting statement. Reno talks foolishly. Only fools follow his accounts.

It was a response to an attack.

He originally posted that Nigeria should not send solders to Niger thereby wasting our military men Instead, he suggested blocking Niger from having access to any resources from Nigeria and ECOWAS states. Then he was attacked and called wicked.

That was what led to this his response.

Bebem:
What's actually media buying? It keeps confusing me. I see Facebook media buyer. Is it same thing as running Facebook ads for a client?

Media buying in digital marketing is the same thing as paid advertising on major platforms like Google, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, etc.

Kehinde2017:
Can I connect with you boss. I’m done learning these skills but to market myself is the problem. Kindly show me the way boss.

The main issue is timing for me to provide individual guides.

I have worked with individuals and businesses across the world with my digital marketing skills.

Skills like SEO, Media buying, Social media marketing, and copywriting are great.

eziokwunwoko:
Please what is the dimension of your house.
house is 15m*17m.
Please how many bags od cement is needed for plastering.
Please how many tons of plaster and sharp sand is needed.
Please how many bags of cement is needed for german floor

The size of the house is approximately 60ft by 60ft.

The other questions seems to be answered on the thread.

I can't remember them offhand. I am off to a bigger project and i will create the thread once i commence.

I actually think it's not always the best to discuss some moves with parents especially if there's a lot of financial challenges in the family.

Some family are very manipulative. Some parents, particularly mothers know how to push siblings responsibilities on their elder bro/sis.

So, i think, genuine mentors will probably do much better in that aspect.

yinkeys:
Lol SEO wey hard die
The kind of advice some people give ehn.
Especially now that AI will force lots of people online into new fields

SEO hard die you say. You would recommend copywriting for him because its easy, and then he'll struggle to get sales or people to work with. Right?

By the way, you seeing SEO as something hard doesn't mean it's hard for other people.

Just learn the right thing and implement.
