I really don’t know anything about them my brother.
All I know is I’d rather do Government Schemes in Lagos than doing any estate no matter how reputable they appear.

I’ve seen people here lost real money.

It’s just too bad they don’t come to share this bad experiences with us.

Any Govt scheme you know of in Ibeju or Lagos in general?

If an estate company is telling you that excision is in process, please ask for the file number, with the file number, you can find out in alausa if indeed the excision is in process and you can also find out if the excision will be granted. it is an advice

Okay sir. Meaning it's okay to buy "Excision in process" land as long as what and what is......?

I like your mindset and logical approach to your search.

I think you're on the right track so don't let anyone project their own complex through you, i wonder if there are no land grabbers and scam estates/agents in ikorodu like any other location.

Poverty of the mind is the worst of them all.

Follow through with your due diligence like you're already doing bearing in mind there is always a trade-off for any one you decide on. I'm sure you'll be fine.

Good luck.




Thank you sir.

How do you think this is the best answer to that question? The listed allocations are limited to some areas. Remember the hike in price is not limited to that area alone.

I stop my project bcs of the dramatic increase in price of building materials

Where are we going in this country. Bad or no policy is the father of this problem

Peace!

I didnt quite get his answer too...

I hope things get back to normal so you can continje your project.

All the best

When we say middle men are the cause of price hike, we are right.

Bought cables today from Lagos Island and after agreeing on price, transfer was done. As my staff was about packing up, the guy said it's no longer the price and decided to add ₦3000 extra on the price of 16mm cables.

I became upset and immediately asked for refund.

Bought cables worth ₦1,100,000 from the guy and he thought I was desperate, then opted to cheat.

Everything is not just about the government, but greed of some of our fellow Nigerians.

I was told today by a cement distributor that the current price of cement is caused by them(major distributor) and that the cabals want them to maximise profit for now. He said the government wont interfare,because they are involved.

It's just annoying.

Budget ₦10 for a project.

Start the project and spend ₦50 without still completing the project.

That is NIGERIA

Well, it’s good (or let me say fair) you’re experiencing this as a homeowner and not as a contractor/builder.

Imagine you’re a builder/engineer receiving fund from a client in diaspora and all these happened, what will you do?
Some of these things are what contractors/engineers experience on projects.

Please what is the labour charge i should be getting from a plumber for the following tasks:

1. Fix all plumbing fittings, closet, taps, heaters etc within the house
2. Lay and connect all water and waste pipes within the compound, and leading them to the soak away
3. Connecting the elevated water tank supply to the building.

The building is a miniaturised 4-bed duplex and the plumber is charging 110k.

Secondly, is it advisable to fix electrical fittings before painting?

A Concrete rumour has it that cost of doing land documentation in Lagos will increase by 100% to 200% next year. (Please don't quote me, just for your information)
Attached file is the current official cost in Eti Is a L G A.

WOW! What about if one initiates the process before then? Do you have any idea when the increase is meant to take place or when it will take effect?
