No doubt its take experience and technical knowledge to handle building project, consider other factors involved.
First thing first, get basic knowledge and know what you want and not what they want is the key.
Stay focus and be smart.
Cheers

My people,

0p......you forgotten to tell us what to do

about those to-uts, o sorry omonile

.... just curious

Whenever they come around just slap their leader and others will run away

Number 9 is somewhat incorrect. You should build the biggest possible based on planning laws not based on what you can afford.The planning laws should be your major guide especially in Lagos where you can hardly get a large expanse of land.
