Call Us For Your Land and Engineering SURVEYING,
Let chat ur land to confirm maybe is not under ACQUISITION before you buy it, LAYOUT, ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN, REAL ESTATE, BUILDER AND PROPERTY MANAGERS.

We are professional surveyor Call us for ur land and civil engineering survey

Surveying or land surveying is the technique, profession, art and science of determining the terrestrial or three-dimensional positions of points and the distances and angles between them. A land surveying professional is called a land surveyor. These points are usually on the surface of the Earth, and they are often used to establish maps and boundaries for ownership, locations, such as building corners or the surface location of subsurface features, or other purposes required by government or civil law, such as property sales.
Surveying also includes the technique of establishing points by predetermined angular and linear measurements. From the plans, sections, and maps prepared by surveying, the area and volume of a particular plot of land can be calculated. A map represents the horizontal projection of the area surveyed and not the actual area. But the vertical distance can be represented more correctly by drawing sections.

During a survey, we use various tools to do our job successfully and accurately, such as total stations, GPS receivers, prisms, 3D scanners, radio communicators, digital levels, dumpy level and surveying software etc

True, I'm fairly new here. But I wonder why he was allowed to continue to scam people using this forum.
Anyway, he was arrested yesterday. He admitted that he used my money to take care of his father's burial. There's nothing in his account now, per his bank statement we obtained. I'll make sure he coughs the money.
Let's talk. I need to arrest a tenant that took away my junction prepaid box.

He claimed he bought a 3 phase meter and he wouldn't balance the money he owes until if someone moved into the apartment and pay him.

I asked him if he bought it in his name or my mother name, he banged the call in me. Abeg help me

There will be a lot of other areas water can saturate.
There are still some areas reserved for green grass and plants. So no biggie.

Even in close with just one drainage. If in the future there is a problem concerning pipe or soakaway how is it sorted?

Hello all. Seeing the debate about interlocking and stamped concrete, I'm curious why most people don't go for landscaping and concrete for the walkway only. What are the advantages of common practices against landscaping and concrete? Water sprinklers are very cheap and DIY friendly. Looks like a no brainer to me but I'm sure I'm missing something.

Examples in the pictures below.
Landscape is good, what are the advantage and considering the little space we have in places like Lagos and Owerri, is it feasible?

What do you do when you want to relocate your pump from one side of the building to another side?
I’ve been looking for a way to achieve this without breaking the concrete or flying wires around.

On another occasion, I needed to connect water from the borehole to a new building within the same compound.

These and many more are the many challenges of stamped concrete.

The one you don’t pray to experience is leaky plumbing pipes.
The last statement makes me think stamped concrete will not work for me o

I hope that he’s able to cough out your money asap. His bank account might be empty but he may have some assets that can be trade off to retrieve your money.
I don’t know the legal interpretation of what he did but I believe that he can be handled better in the naija way and he go pay. wink
There are great and reliable building contractors and Site engineers on this forum. We equally have few bad ones like this one. Some are not capable of handling complex and technical jobs but they will use sugarcoated posts to lure clients and then mismanage the money given to them lipsrsealed
Next time, pls do your search properly by asking questions about the character behind the username you intend to patronize. Some have rebranded, repackaged and have changed their usernames but old forum members sabi their way. undecided
And finally, the mod should look into the activities of this scam artist called HsLBroker.
I wish you Good luck Sir.
I think It's time you mentioned them this will improve the credibility of this forum. The said person gave a quotation for just fencing a 60by120 for 4 coaches 1.8 million as at 2017

Chambers!
My plumber and I are still fighting over chambers. I told him I don't want chambers but he cannot imagine a house without chambers. I designed the pipe network for him to implement but he is yet to do it. He said if there is blockage how will I locate it? I said i will break d whole pipe and replace it.
He is still pondering over it. I will soon fire him.

Easy! We learn everyday, make him see reason, a YouTube video can also do the trick.

In my estate, a tenant cannot move in if the landlord is defaulting to the HOA. The tenant and his/her spouse will be interviewed by the estate management team before they can even pay the house rent. They’ll submit their CVs and an interview will be scheduled.

To pack out of the estate, the tenant need a clearance letter from their Landlord and to obtaining this means they’ve cleared all their outstanding dues.

If you already have land and a building plan, have someone help you stake out your gate and septic tank then plant away.

You’ll move in with matured trees.

This is what I did at my micro estate. I have five trees that will mature for new residents to sit under and also eat from.
How do I get a building plan?
