Good day everyone,

Please I need a recommendation for Quantity surveyor that can do an accurate BOQ. Honestly, integrity, professionalism and reference on this platform is very important. Thank you

I have one but he isn't on this platform.

You shouldn't be saying this to a client you didn't satisfying, instead, in as much you claimed to know your onions, you should plead with him, find a balance and move forward together.
Please.

Thank you Sir for the feedback and detailed information

Yes. I have a deed of assignment prepared by a lawyer

I'm working towards the Survey but the quote I'm getting for Kosofe axis is on a high side for me at the moment (1.5m)

diordaves:
C of O is a statutory right of occupancy granted by the government to use and occupy LAND for a period typically 99 years. So, C of O is for the Land and the right to use the land.

Therefrom, it is not uncommon to have several properties on a piece of land with ONE C of O.

So the seller should issue you a Deed of Assignment formally transferring their interest in your section of the land specifically the unexpired residue of the C of O to you. You should then perfect the Deep of Assignment by obtaining Governor's Consent.

You may need to survey your section of the land and the survey and C of O details included in the Deed.

I'm not a property lawyer. Speak to a property lawyer if you bought the property without a lawyer.

Lagos State Reintroduces Building Approval Amnesty (Nov 1 – Dec 31, 2025)

The Lagos State Government, through LASPPPA, has reopened an amnesty window for existing buildings without planning approval to get properly regularised.

Documents typically required:

Title document or proof of ownership
Survey plan
As-built architectural drawings
Structural, electrical, and mechanical drawings (for multistorey structures)
Non-destructive integrity test report
Evidence of tax compliance

If you’re not sure what documents or as-built drawings are needed, feel free to quote or reach out directly — I can help clarify what applies to your type of building.

1.5m for a survey could be seen as expensive but it goes with the location and the state government fee. Make sure it is the full survey sometimes called Red Copy. Not just any Mickey Mouse joke survey. When you eventually get the survey done, ask your lawyer to insert the particulars of the survey and the C of O in the Deed copies signed by the relevant signitories with a law chamber certified copy of the C of O attached to the Deed. You will be fine.

Yes. It is the full survey and the Contractor is a registered surveyor which I am pleased with.

Dear Esteemed Sir and Ma

How is everyone doing today

Pls, I purchased a property recently and it has CofOng. but I wasn't given the property original documents because there is another building behind the property I bought which the CofO cover too..... Even the building documents I didn't receive because it cover the other buildi.... Is this approach from the seller correct since I only bought one property out of two on the same land but demarcated by Fence?

Also, I plan to do some modifications on the structure and would like to know if I require any of the Building approval documents from the seller?

The land use charge was delivered last week and would like to know how to change the name from the seller to reflect my and what are the implications if I choose to leave the seller name on it?

Lastly, I am considering doing my own Survey probably this month and would like to know if I need anything from the Seller

Kindly advise Esteemed Brother and Sister

Brother those are your words. Why will you pay for land that the owner don't release the documents to you in the first place, that is the first red flag. People already advice you right on the subject matter, the seller is very smart to have taking your money.Those are the illegal activities many of those people that bought lands those days when land are cheap in lagos. He should have separate those land perfect those titles documents before selling it to you, he shifted the boarding on you for both lands. Bros the better truth is, you're going to spend a lot of money to perfect the titles before even thinking of building approval process. You're lucky the land as C of O. Good luck.

Plasterboard design an easy alternative to Pop design

Transforming Spaces, Elevating Lifestyles...

First frame : Before
2nd frame : The installation progress for plasterboard.
3rd frame : After installation + Screeding.
4th frame : Verandah (cement fiber board)

Not messy, very clean installation no stains (like pop)


Cons :
Not as strong as Pop.
Can be slightly expensive sometimes.




We do both installation, we're available & affordable.
Contact in signature.

You have come again this man ,lThe other time you said it was more flammable

Even surprised you are now recommending it

Almost done and dusted , we move

Board installation either gypsum or cement board will always be better than casting abi na molding , does not come close in my view

Nairaland Avoid this person as a plaque

He is not straightforward when it comes to delivery and he is only after your money

I am struggling not to use derogatory words even though he deserves it but I won't let a heartless person CHANGE me

Imagine, since April till this moment I'm yet to receive my building Approval documentations for review and Soil test certificate done in April till this moment.... It's one silly excuses to another that he is not in Lagos or something happens to the person he sent to deliver it. He doesn't get tired of EXCUSES

.......... Enjoy while it last ⏳

Thank you brother for your input

Maybe I wasn't clear... It is not just plain land. The land has a finished duplex on it and the back another 1 floor story but demarcated by fence. I bought the Property with Duplex on the front alone but the CofO is for both properties.

According to my lawyer, he said that is the procedure since I didn't purchased both properties. I just decided to ask Nairaland for their opinion because I was surprised about it

Not as strong as POP? You mean in case of life span?

Cos I’m thinking of one that can last more than POP since plaster board is flexible for some designs than POP

I have got a question please. Does having the 4" pipe pre installed in the wall affect the WC installation?

Hello guys,

I am about embarking on a building and undecided if I should go for hidden roof or not. I have read about hidden roofs and the issues are scary ....Do we have good tradesmen who can handle the bricklaying and the woodwork perfectly?
