@op you didn’t mention anything relating to Land Use Planning Analysis Report(LUPAR).
Is it not included in your approval process or I’m the one that’s been swindled?

Best thing to do or else you loose house to demolition

How would someone spend 100m above on building and decide to boycott that’s not smart investment at all what you can’t do oversea

Government worker will also collect bribe to neglect such area but when there is big flooding govt remember the area plan the person u bribe is no more

I can’t risk it go true normal procedure soon other state will also be developed and will be checking their plan records

Thanks for sharing this information!

Most of the requirements from the LASBCA inspection are technical and handled by the engineer.

The major ones i remember is a mandatory mat for ground slab (german floor), and the spaces between rings for columns.

Omo, no be small money o. Op, what's the size of the land

That's 3 plots according to the area size used for the assessment. It's a fairly big project

It is not in everything you have to bribe your way out. Bribe your way out today and let the likes of Wahab guy come knockdown your bulding tomorrow. Then, you will learn the hard way.

Nice information

Kudos to you, this are the exact route I go through, as I work as a facility manager in Lagos

Jokerman:


There's Baale fee for every decking too

God bless you... I forgot that one... It's part of permit o

Na you just dey waste money with these people...

Get your papers and start your building after all if the building is on illegal land like government owned land they will not tell you .

Most of the inspections are not even done... Just pay your money and you'll be issued the receipt, so I wonder what the person is actually talking about

Ofunaofu:


It should be 5k or below where the current government met

Agreed

Welldone and congrats to you, Op.

To get building approval in Abuja is also a Herculean task except you have connections and can dole out money.

Money answereth all things.

ojasweb:
Some important things to be considered are:

* The setback from road should be at least 30 feets.

* The setback from the street should be at least 20 feets.

* The setback from the other plots should be at least 20 feets.

* Construction beyond 1st floor will be supervised by LASBCA officers from the headquarter at each stage.

* We performed a couple of tests including soil test and some i could not remember.

* Some agencies i can remember are LASEMA, TOWN PLANNING, LASEPA, LSMTL.

* Local council also brought some letters.

* During the construction, no any form of disturbance from anyone.

* The estimated cost for the approval for this project was slightly above 3,000,000.

Note! Tax is mandatory!

Is this the official fee?

afadi2410:


Is this the official fee?

Fees depend on the project and size. Commercial project is more expensive.

dettolgel:
Was the construction scheduled around the visit of the inspectors or when you get to a certain stage you inform them?

How does it work?

Each time we get to the stage that need inspection we write a letter inviting them. Has to be about 7 days before the time.

ojasweb:


Fees depend on the project and size. Commercial project is more expensive.

You didn't answer his question..

Is 3m the official fees? Did u get a receipt for all the 3m

Chibuzoripob:
wetin that bald head FIRE MAN dey inspect ? LASEPA Isn't that for noise or something like that unit.,LSMTL ? Thank God,i nor see LASTMA,,PSP in the list.Well,.

it is for ur own good.Heartfelt congratulations. May it go round

Yes he's in the fire unit, but asked to come by his boss because he lives close to the project.

fidelmarshal199:
Omo, no be small money o. Op, what's the size of the land

The approval is not for the land size o. It is for the construction on it. The construction is on one plot.

Yampotatocarrot:
Above 3m for approval, when person never even begin build...

Have you finished the building, that's when you can say there was no other payment... Have you paid Baale of the area for roofing!?

Baale, youths, local government, etc are other expenses, and not counted as part of the approval.

Strafudeen:


8k now

Ok, I hope it keeps coming down

oluwaseyi0:
How many floor is the building

Approval over 3m?, that's much

3 floors.

delzbaba:
please was it Lagos state tax or federal tax clearance?

I use Lagos state tax

4KNGOATS:

And despite all these inspections buildings still collapses every day

You'll not likely see any inspected project among the collapsed buildings.

Most people cut corners and never even go through approval.

Kurumaru:
THOUGH I CANT UNDERSTAND UR INTENT OF BRINGING UP THIS TOPIC.
FROM THE ASSESSMENT U UPLOADED ABOVE, UR APPLICATION IS A COMMERCIAL ONE...

U ALSO MODULED UP THE ACTIVITIES OF THE LAGOS STATE PHYSICAL PLANNING AND PERMIT AUTHORITY (LASPPPA) AND YHE LAGOS STATE BUILDING CONTROL AGENCY (LASBCA).

FOR FURTHER CLARIFICATION,

for your Building plan approvals: go to LAGOS STATE PHYSICAL PLANNING AND PERMIT AUTHORITY (LASPPPA).

for ur Letter of Authorization to commence construction and subsequently Stage certification after u commence construction: LAGOS STATE BUILDING CONTROL AGENCY (LASBCA).

For Safety Certificates , boards etc: go to the LAGOS STATE SAFETY COMMISSION.

for Material and cube sample testing : go to LAGOS STATE MATERIAL TESTING LABORATORY.

Others are

If building close to any water body: LAGOS STATE MINISTRY OF ENVIRONMENT (DRAINAGE DEPT)

Local Government ( department of environment).; u have to keep ur sites clean.

FEDERAL FIRE SERVICE.

Note : LAGOS STATE PHYSICAL PLANNING AND PERMIT AUTHORITY (LASPPPA) IS ALSO KNOWN INFORMALLY AS THE TOWN PLANNING.

Thanks for the detailed clarification.

The purpose is to share my little experience and maybe other people who intend to do approval can find it useful.

Nothing else.

Nice one op,I just started my own duplex.spent 3m so far,building in my village and handled by my engineer uncle.e no easy ,house matters

I mentioned that some test were done. I can't remember everything. This thread is for more enlightenment purpose and not that i am the expert.

Yes i get receipt and everything is included in the official file.

I can't see the foundation beams.
And the soil used for filling doesn't look compacted.
My little observations..

Yampotatocarrot:

Is it only for roofing? You will pay for the foundation , DpC , Suspended floor and roofing from their different stages .....

ogelekpomgam:

My little observations..

It was compacted. The foundation beam uses 16mm, 1200 depth (I don't know much here) but we use 12 each.

Hope they use that money well. Imagine spending over 3 Million Naira and not even using it to buy a single trip of sand.
