Yes sir. They’re equally very expensive too.

I don’t go to Lagos market for things like this. If I’m not ordering abroad, someone is ordering it for me.

What a sad experience....

Is there any website, or office where someone could get a legitimate information regarding real estate before taking a leap??

It is sad that most of these "office people " in government do collaborate with bad guys to do this evil. Just wondering if there are still decent avenue for someone to source information before getting involved in a real estate transaction in Lagos.

In the west, it's all there in the county/council assessor/recorders office.

Who did this to us in Nigeria, Africa, government officials always backwards, gearing to cheat and deceive the people. No wonder so many people aren't proud to be Nigerians or African.

The world richest man Elon Musk is African but he never claims to be ( I have never heard him mention he is African ) and the press never addresses him as African or mention his African background, I wouldn't imagine he would be excited and be bouncing off the ceiling if he is addressed as African - he might buy the news outlet and shut down their operations.


Website

We were in Alausa for weeks if not Month. We were with people that matter a lot. We use social media (instablog and the likes).

What we realize is that someone has vested interest in the location and he’s using govt arm to do the dirty job.

No warnings, nothing. Houses were just demolished without.... notices. The guy wasn’t even in Nigeria when his house was hit.

The person is here. I can’t keep sharing the horrible experience.

We have a fundamental problem in this country and it’s because we have too many educated illiterates.
The same thing we are experiencing here.
How can we have a site with over 2,000,000 subscribers and we can’t think of how to add value to the people and make lives better.

It’s just who we are!

What’ll it cost LAGOS state govt to build an online land database? Even if its premium service.

Corruption!!!

If you pitch a good performer (someone who have spent 100 years in the developed world; someone who schooled in the best institutions of this world; the geniuses of this world) against a bad system (Nigeria Civil Service as an example... pun intended grin), the system will WIN almost every time. ~ Brabus

Though there might be some occasional success (like I got my house built without worries). In the long run, even the strongest won't be able to compensate for a weak process.

Please how is aluminum roofing measured in the market?

I am seeing different prices for aluminum step tiles.

Some are saying 1,300 for 0.45mm


Another is saying 2,400 for 0.45mm


Is it that there are different measurements

Is it per sheet?

Secondly, I read somewhere that foreign ones are cheaper than local ones..

Is that the reason for the difference in the two prices?

I am interested in knowing the price of step tiles aluminum around onitsha and nnewi.


Maybe the way people in the with East measure it is different from the way it's measured in the south west.

Surveyorgeo Abeg come ooo .

Good afternoon everyone, from your posts, you don't need deed of rectification, since you have a survey plan, I will suggest you do official chartting information, the result of the official chartting information will tell us which title you will process, either Governor's Consent, Ratification or C of O but not deed of rectification.
Deed of rectification is to make corrections

Deed of Rectification?

I'm not sure that's what you need.

I'm really interested in your matter, to assist with clarification.

You only need Deed of Rectification if the survey plan of your predecessor in title is defective or does not properly align into the Vector Map at the office of Surveyor General of Lagos State.

If someone else possesses a better title than what was given to you and that someone else did not sell to you, then something is wrong.

This is where I like to show my professional competency in delving into Legal title ownership in Nigeria.

Does the deed of assignment given to you show that the vendor has a registered title or the seller has the legal right to sell?

You are right sir

Please help look into this Bosses
Seems this person wan rip my little capital cry


Your question needs some more specifics, to get good and reliable response.

For example:
What is the Tonnage of Granite quoted for 95K? Same thing with Sharp Sand?
- Ask a User her called @Chekitaut or read his previous post on this thread, for Cost of Granite and Sand
- What is the tonnage or Tipper size of Granite he is quoting for #95K?
What is the type of Soil you are building on, (Swampy, Loamy/Soft, Valley, Hard Ground) to justify 35 Trips of Filling?

- Are you using Laterite to Fill or Sharp Sand? (Sharp Sand is better in a Wet area/ground) and what tonnage is he quoting for that Price?
- If you are buying as much as 150Bags of Cement, why cant you Order it directly from the Manufacturers like Dangote, you will get it at around #2,800 plus or minus. That Price of #3,300 is December Price.

- For Planks, talk to @MountMoriah guy on this thread, he will supply you and you can pay on delivery.
- What is the size of your Foundation (How many Boards, what is the dimension, can you share your Floor Plan or measure it yourself and state it here?), to get a better idea
- Packing of Filling can be negotiated down to #4,000 per Trip since they are packing many Trips
- Which is Hoes again? Are you Cultivating Cassava or Building a Foundation? I cant figure that one out, just cancel it

- What is the “machine” for and what Machine is he referring to?
If it is a Ramming machine, then you need to cut down on the Price of Rammer, moreover, it does not cost #50K to rent one Rammer in a day.
Budget 25K for manual Ramming and same for using a Ramming machine but allow time for the Soil to settle properly before doing the German Floor, Wet it very well.
- Labour Cost of Casting will depend largely on the Size of your Foundation though an average Price of 120K -+ max should do (looking at Ten Carriers, One Ewe, One Engine Operator, etc)
- Carpenter should be negotiated down to #30K Max, it cant be more than 2days work naah?

My advice, talk to QSFemi, he is a reliable and he will save you a lot of Money, when it comes to budgeting for your Build

Overall, you need to state your specific location because Labour and Material prices are also affected by Location.


Dont be discouraged.

Hello house please would you advise me to build a shopping complex or flats to rent with considration of income strain.

Your Location will be the deciding factor.
Very Low Class area will not provide good returns on Flats
High Density, developed areas or close to Centre of Town will provide good returns on Shopping Centre.
Ultimately, the decision is yours.

Happy new year to the house!!

I decided to suspend my 3bedroom(I earlier brought the plan here for criticisms) and start with the 2bedroom bungalow/1bedroom BQ, attached is the floor plan and the type of roof I plan to do.

The ground is a solid one and since I dont intend to do a high pitched roof or parapet, do I need to introduce pillars?

Any criticism of the floor plan

No matter what you are building, always introduce Pillars, at least at the edges and tie them with the Lintel.
You never can say what will be building next to you in future, or maybe a natural Earth Tremor/Vibration or even blasting for road construction or Mining, Pillars will help keep your building standing.
Please use Pillars, the extra Cost will give you Peace of Mind.

And Yes, Ventilation is Poor, in most areas. Kitchen, Dinning, Living Room, etc

I was expecting that it is those that sold land to her, that would know exactly how or what went wrong that the New Owners have a better Title than someone they sold to, five years earlier.

I suspect that the those who sold to her dont have Valid title or did not perfect their Title before the New Owners took advantage and now she is left in limbo.
Ratification with LASG might not be her real Solution, it may lie in negotiating a "Land Ratification Amount" with the New owners.

Engr dam4sam, I built a bungalow without pillars at a location close to where Lafarge blasts limestone every 2 days. It’s almost 9 years now and there are no signs of visible cracks. Am I taking unnecessary risk?

My foundation though can conveniently support 3 floors. It’s 1.2m deep but no pillars and 9in sandcrete blocks were used.

Apart from the difficulty in installation of wired cameras which Baba said he downed with 3 can of trophy, why do you think wired cameras are at disadvantage?

Amateurs do wireless. Pros do wired network for security, wider coverage (my single link can run more than 300ft without signal loss) and the reliability that PoE offers.

I considered wireless but I’ll have to deal with running cable for power.

I eventually sucked it up and learnt the color scheme. I need to also do the crimping on the ground instead of perched up on the ladder.

Baba, na fact be that! As a network security expert, we pro-wired network installers understand that a camera is a security device and not GOTV so its installation shouldn’t be handled carelessly.

3 bottles is even too small for one camera. A lot of work goes into this na.

1. Networking Planning = 1 bottle
2. Establishing the Cable Route/Installation = 1 bottle
3. Cable Termination = 1 bottle
4. Configuration = 1 bottle
5. Celebration = 2 bottle grin grin
