I bought a plot of land about a week now at 1.3m tanke. For the security, just the corner put my name on them and phone number I didn't do more to secure it cuz I don't have plan to resell, I wanna start to develop it soon. That's why I was asking in post about how much to pay an architect cuz he was telling me 110k ( town planning and design) something is telling me is too much thats why I need someone to put me through here bcuz I just meet with one architect, maybe I need look for another one I don't know but I believe someone will write me to put me through. Thanks


I have my site at Danialu, Upper Gaa Akanbi, Ilorin. I did town planning approval for 3 bedroom flat for N50,000. Also, the architect that designed the building collected N50,000, you may not pay that much for the design if you are able to negotiate well. Approvals out in 3 weeks.

Good morning bro. Happy Sunday. Please have you purchased your land in Ilorin here, does the land document include C of O? If not, did you get one or you just go ahead and start do the building. I just bought a land and I don't really know what to do before start building on it and I wanna start soon. Thanks

Congratulations bro, may God provide for us all to complete our buildings in good time. For mine, after payment for the land, lawyer prepared the deed, I did beacons with my name and phone number, did town planning approval for the proposed building and started building.
I intend to carry out survey soon as I understand it's one of the requirements for CofO which I would process soon. Surveyor charged N80K for 100x50ft.
Regards

Thanks for your response and a big Amen to your prayer. Please don't mind my too much questions. Please why do you need the C of O when you have no issue with the land? Thanks

Having CofO confirms that you are the legitimate owner of the land. It also:

Makes the person named on the document the exclusive owner of the land

Prevents a situation where a single property is claimed by multiple owners

Prevents the government from repossessing the land or property, but this is ultimately subject to the overriding control of the state government

It is an acceptable as a security or collateral for loans from banks and other financial institutions

It is a widely used to resolve land disputes that arise from ownership tussle

It is a very crucial document during mortgage transactions.

Dunno what you’re intending to develop. But if it’s a duplex...
110k isn’t too much for the design sir

Yes, construction ongoing. I've attached the 3D, and the present state. Some modifications occurred during construction sha, however somewhere close to the 3D is where we going. The designer/Architect is here on NL, sorry I may not be able to post the floor plan as he did it for a fee.

You can get the town planning approval by yourself if you can visit the secretariat probably with a bricklayer that has his license and tax payments proves. That will save you from unnecessary spending. Imagine if you pay 110k to the block industry to supply you blocks. Don’t you think that will go long way? Honestly: all these architectural works are not necessary if it’s just 2,3 bedroom flat or self contained like we are discussing here. There nothing unique you gonna get from architects. Just random plan and booom. Your money is gone. What design do you want that you haven’t see? Just get to visit twitter or browse the internet and you’ll see different plans then you pick your preference.
(Apologies to all architects here)


Money is not easy to get but any amount you get spend it wisely.
It’s very wrong to say the OP doesn’t need professional for his building, building is more than just digging of sand, settings of block .... boom painting and pack in.
When problem arises then you will understand.

Op I like you bcs you later engage one of the professional in build industry to do your drawing.

But you need to also look for builder, Engr next time to handle the construction for you, even if it’s per day visitation to the site (if found noo Dey)
Believed me it will safe you in future.

Look at this your foundation
1. Its too low
2. The foundation block settings is not well arranged
And many more
But you have tried Almighty God will finished it for you quickly

If you want a house poorly built go for bricklayers, if you want a home, decent and well built go for professionals
lol....r u kidding me?so a good bricklayer cannot build one room self n one bedroom ?. If soil formations for fdn is nt good,I can understand yr argument but for above simple structures n considering his pocket he can go for a good bricklayer

there is no standard money for any building. It all depends on taste ,location n building design.Buhari can build a simple duplex with tons of dollars, another person of lesser financial capabilities can build for less

Damnnnnn niggarrr
Isoright

Bros Op if you never chop belle full nor start wetin you nor go fit finish
To build house nor be moi moi
except say you want build a low budget asss building

Na so i start one last year because say i dey see small small boys dey build mansion for our area for sapele road, Benin city
As i start am na there i realize what have put my hand into
Initially i wanted a metro tiles roof and parafet abi na parapet
But as i begin buy steel rod and cement from foundation.
Shaperly na im i change personal mind say if i fit do am reach roofing level then na the normal roofing i go use. Buying of wood( plank) for budding and three quarter granite nearly give me depression.

Even up till now the building dey there. No money to even do the normal roofing not to talk of metro tiles
A real niggarrr is too young to die because of house
I can't kill myself. Make the building dey there

You people joke too much. Lol

It depend on the materials you want to use for it.

With 3000 blocks you should build 1 bedroom flat or 2 bedroom flats or 3 bedroom flats

Roofing, plastering plumbing an tiling should gulf 1M plus.
