This was a solution by Trellidor SA. We've got so many of these installed in major malls and commercial shopping centers in Lagos. I shared these stuffs in 2015 including their Clearguard solution https://www.nairaland.com/1588017/nexthome-builders-2014-2015-new/39#39735792

Whenever we share stuffs like these, I always feel very bad because of the way people see us in this country. We look like ape right?

Ghana shaming us

jabolo:


Trellidor - South African, right? So, I need to contact a dealer? It will be imported?

How do i get customized installations for my build?

In the Ghanaian clip, seems I can walk into that workshop and get everything ordered and installed. It's just a backyard artisan, doing his thing, not fazed by lubrication and rivets.

Thanks for your help but appreciate if you can point to a similar setup in Nigeria.

Where's your location?

There is a space for postal code on Aliexpress shipping address. You must have gotten a valid postal code of the post office you want to use. Just input it. Aliexpress will automatically ship to the postal code. The code is of six digits.
For example: U.I pod office postal code is 200284.
The postal code is the only address that needs to be exact and correct.
Even if the other addresses ain't. Postal code should.

Beframia:

Your package will always be delivered through the post office that's closest to the delivery address you provided during the course of signing up on the AliExpress platform.

When I’m in a situation like this, the condition for doing the job will be to do an exact sample of what mine will look like for the amount paid.

35k is even small in my view. All the small attachments in pic 1 will cost him a lot but if he’s the blacksmith or someone who just got off a federal govt project, it’s not impossible. But even at that, I will never pay less for something I’m sure it cost more elsewhere.

At this point, an exact image of what he intends to produce at N28k will be fine.

May I ask how close are you and your friend? Nothing serious though but I’ve had an experience where a mother asked his son’s contractor to send his son what he’d like to see and give him low price so that he can send money home.
Her reason was that he (the son) won’t do anything if she didn’t do it that way and the project has been ongoing for 8 years.

That was a great design by the way.

ceelog:


We are super close.
And we have been building at nearly same pace and share labourers and ideas.

He has engaged the welder. Fingers crossed.

Thanks for the feedback

As at last confirmation (last week) TMT is 325k per tonne and local is 265k per tonne.

I’m sure Ondo should be around that range.

Survey Plan is very very relevant and one of the prerequisite in registering a title at the land Registry.

But is the survey plan it self a title that you can own and feel comfortable as the real owner of the land? The Answer is Capital No

You could have spent N5,000,000 on a survey plan and the land may not be yours at the end of the day



As regard the highlighted text, that is the normal 'language' by land surveyor to say 'belonging to' because you are the one that called the land surveyor and told him the land belongs to you. Hence, he will say what you told him and not necessarily because the land belongs to you.

Mind you, the same plan you attached here, can have your name on it and it will still show 'belonging to' That's why I said 10 survey plans can be drawn on a single land in the name of 10 different people and it would still have 'belonging to' on each of them.



The highlighted text is false at least at the Federal Land Registry in Ikoyi.

I registered 3 tiles all Deed of Assignment between Party A and Party B and I did not include a single Survey Plan. Fashola is the Minister of Works and Housing. Hence empowered by Law to sign all Deed of Assignment at the Federal level. Once he signs at the last page, that part is what would be attached to the Deed before the Registrar in Ikoyi would register the title for you.

In Lagos and in Ogun State, they pay more attention to survey plan than they do in Oyo State and at the federal level.



The survey plan does not 'perfects the Deed of Assignment' but a prerequisite to having your deed of assignment registered.
Here is how it works in Lagos and why a registered Survey plan is important

1. Upon 'acquiring' a land in Lagos, the first thing to do is to draw up a survey plan.
2. The survey plan shows the coordinates, size of land, location, details of the land surveyor and acclaimed owner.
3. The plan is what your Lawyer needs to prepare the deed of assignment that would be executed between you and the vendor
NOTE
Items 1,2,3 above still doesn't make you the owner cause the Vendor that sold to you may not be the legal owner of that land.
4. After item 3, give the survey plan to your land surveyor to get it registered via NIS and Office of the Surveyor General
5. After registering the plan, attach to the deed of Assignment and take it to the lands registry
6. Land Registry would not start any process without first sending the survey plan back to the Office of the Surveyor General to obtain Land Information and confirm that the land is properly positioned and not under Government acquisition.
7. If your Survey plan passes item 6, it would be sent back to lands to start the process of Registering the Deed of Assignment.
8. This is when the real work starts. Land Registry will now start to dig deep into the root of title. Who sold it to you? Is there a dispute somewhere? Has the previous owner mortgaged the property? What is the position of the court? What is the position of LASG on it?
NOTE
Item 8 is the reason I said your Survey Plan does not make you the legal/lawful owner of the land. Your survey may pass at the Office of the Surveyor General and still fail at the land Registry.

If a Fraud is noticed at Lands Bureau, all the amount spent on acquiring the land or doing Survey has entered voice mail. The registrar of titles will never register that Deed of assignment for you. Hence, the registered survey plan is not more than a mere paper.

Survey plan is very crucial in the process of registering your Deed of Assignment, but that plan on it's own does not make you the owner of the land.

Take for instance, A man dies and willed his land to his 5 Children. The eldest (solely) among them decides to sell the land to you and you have a survey plan drawn. Of course you may pass at the office of the surveyor General and if possible pass at the Lands Bureau, obtain your consent or C of O. Just one thing will nullify your title and that is the day the other 4 children go to court that the land was sold to you without their consent, the court would set aside the transaction and issue an order that the Lagos State Governor revoke the C of O immediately and it would be done.
If this happen, the survey plan becomes useless.

What we always emphasize is root of title first.
You can buy land from the richest man in Nigeria who claims he owns the land and then spend N1 billion to do survey plan and have it Registered. These process still doesn't make you the owner of the land.



Once you carefully read my post above, you would know better the order of preference/importance

Due to my lack of knowledge of using post office , I always ship my items to China address or Usa address but if i can discover how to use this post office , it will be to my benefit. So i can input my Nigeria address and any postal address of my choice.

SurveyorGeo:


Thank you for doing justice to this, I totally agree with you sir, you deserve a bottle of wine sir.

Exactly my point. I have a lot of clients that do 50m + plots but... it doesn’t just make any financial sense to me. Now, na hin money and he has the right to spend it anyhow he like.

Experience has shown us that most of these expensive properties ended up becoming ghost towns.

Let me give you an example of of how I’d recoup far more ROI in less than 5 years if I invest a quarter of that money elsewhere.

I’m currently investing in some virgin land that cost about 600k / plot in an area where land is currently sold at about N1.5m.
In the first phase, I’m working on about 6 acres which is about N22m.

All I intend to do is to is to clear the land, delineate it and sell in 2 years time for N3m.

The question now is “Will people buy?” Yes! The property is the only available plot in the location (with about 3,000 buildings) and it’s a waterfront property.

For now I’m still attracting investors in the project at N1m per plot.


_______

At the end of it all, what matters to me is ROI. Nothing more.

The hungry fabricators at Gate Iron Market in Ibadan are requesting for measurements. They want to get it done ASAP.

I believe so much in Nigeria ��

michlins:
Not to ruin anyone's business but here's current prices of the attached materials

#70,000

#63,000

#3,500.

I'm currently where they're selling these materials to get what I need to do the job below and that's what I was told. Now how can he arrive at #25,000 per square meter

jabolo:


This is a welcome development, if true but I'm not in those places. I might visit at the opportune time. I'm serious about this.

I'm thinking one of our resident artisans would run with the concept. Or window suppliers here could include in their stock.

There is a time in a man's life when he has money sitting in accounts that he has no idea what to do with it. The man that builds N100m house is not doing it from money he saved over the years. The same goes for lands. I used to question people who buy Rolls Royce and drive it only on special days. A closer look tells that they are not bothered by other people's everyday financial worries. When you have steady flow of income from businesses, many houses and many automobiles, what else is there to entertain? It gets worse if the person has a huge ego. 10 bedroom houses en suite for a man with a wife and 2 kids? Oh well..

Personally, anything I am building in Nigeria must be from a loose change. I ain't about to stress myself unnecessarily. ROI is a dangerous terminology when investing in Nigeria these days.
