They will extort you at all development levels of the race course that you will spend twice the cost in building it. Go to Kano if you wana build a race course you can get cheap horses there, cheap labor to maintain the horses and course and you will be loved by the people there. Can you see they charged dangote $100m for a land that is not worth 50m naira?
Hahahah so funny 50m really? bros Lagos is not like any state in Nigeria, first of all do you know that Dangote refinery is 8X bigger in land size the Victoria Island, not even talking about the port that is open to sea. I hope you had from Dangote himself that he got a deal from Lagos state government. For those comparing Lagos to other state, the question is why many people choose Lagos, best know to them. like comparing Atlanta to NY or California. The amount of money that will buy you a mansion in those cities wont buy 1 bedroom apartment in NYC, same as in Lagos and many locations around the world. The answer is simple ROI

My brother, most house owners are lazy when it comes to material procurement. This is where they loose nearly half of whatever they spend on a project.
There are projects we are handling right now by ourselves here, as per material procurement. Trust me; we are saving tons of thousands of Naira without compromising quality at all.

It’s good the OP goes out firstly and do price and quality survey.
Those people we contract to buy most building materials for us are crooks and greedy.

For instance, many people don’t know that Tower aluminum that we tout as the best in Nigeria even has grades. Once they say this material is Tower, we just fall for it.

I still maintain it: let him go and check. Investing a few bucks of Naira and a day or two in price and quality verification won’t be a bad one.

After buying the material, he could try and persuade the fabricator to come and fabricate on site.
Bros, if you buy your materials yourself some of them will still steal your materials, either on site or at the point of purchase. Its happened to me, imagine paying for materials worth millions. The fabricator ship some of my materials to his shop at my present telling me he already have a contract with me to deliver after quoting extra for himself. Even with all that, he didn't finish the job till date. I have to swallow the pain after wasting my time for months and pay another fabricator to finish his contract. My experience with another honest one here, after quoting for exact materials he needed. I bought the materials, he finish the job at record time without any issue. The amount of money left from his quotation is only 30k for over 3 weeks labor. I surprise him with the amount I pay him for being honest, he end up getting other jobs from me. The trick is quoting high quality materials, they buy low quality, charge less on labor, inflate materials and take away your materials.

Some guys believed they are smart here.
Someone here contacted me this new week new month claimed that he is client needs my services on plumbing work for his house.

I asked him what is your username here” he claimed he is just a visitor non registered member. Lies 1.

I asked him again what is your name he gave me name wrong name .. lies 2
NOT knowing to him that I have his contact since 4years ago. Then he claimed he is into digester work that he needs my help In that aspect of work. The name he gave then was totally diff to this new name again.

Lies 3 he changed location.

I now asked him why all these lies you called your self a digester contractor and now you claimed you are house owner and again you said you are into building construction ,which one should we believed now.
You called your self all these name and you can’t prepare plumbing quotation you want someone that will Labour in vain/ scam

If you are reading this I know your username ooo if you talk cheat I will expose you.

When he later discovered that I got all his trick he now said that doesn’t mean anything naa

Scammer

Genuine guys here should be careful of all these type of people
And to the rest of you like him PLS if you don’t have genuine work to do don’t message me oo
All of you that are shading these criminals are not helping the situation, you're making it worst. Sooner or later they label every one of you as the same. Let's start shaming them like we did with their headmaster a couple of years ago. All these criminals needs to be chased out of this section.

This happened because I wasn’t available to ascertained the gauge myself. I actually paid for 5mm my brother but he chooses to use 4mm so as to maximise enough gains ni oo…. This is someone I trusted with my money for months … My advice for people on here is to not trust anyone on here ..
Please don't generalize, there a lot of good people here that handle projects of over 100 million without any issue. Many of them are so busy they don't even have time to update their profile regularly. Always do your due diligence before commiting your hard earn money to just anybody

Hello, this is not how to promote anything that you genuinely believe is working with this kind of video recording. You should show people in clear video to convince people that it's really working. Don't sow the impression of scam in people's mind even if you believe what you're doing is working. Posting 3 minutes of unclear video will not convince any serious people to patronize you. That is just my little advice to you. You need to convince people that what you're doing can work for hours. That way people can take you serious.

My country people and elders in the building
Na my first time to build.... I kept bringing out money so tey i spent way above my budget just to get to lintel phase however please I need an advise for an estimate cost for the decking for a semi detached duplex (4 bedroom each duplex I.e 8 bedroom semi-detached duplex)

The site engr has estimated about #4,226,000 just for the rods (decking) while another engr on the side who is willing to handle has estimated #1,050,000

Brethren to say I am confused is an understatement

I decided to run here and perhaps get professional advice.
Please note that this is the cost for rod alone

Let me break it further how they arrived at the said amount

Site Engr;
70 lengths of 16mm rod @17,000 =#1,190,000
300 lengths of 12mm rod @9,400 =#2,820,000
50 lengths of 8mm rod-@3400 =#170,000
Binding wire = #45000
Total = #4,225,000

*Alternate Engr*

2) *ROD 16M² 25PIECES PER 1? N14,500× 25 = N350,000*

3) *ROD 12M² 60 PIECES PER 1? N9,200 × 60 = N552,000*

4) *ROD 8M² 30 PIECESB PER 1? N4,500 × 30 = N135,000*

6) *BANDING WIRE #20,000*

Total = N1,057,000

Please make una choke mouth for the matter
Oga the better truth is what Rotecch77 said. There is no need for Rotecch77 to use those hash words in advising someone that asked for help. The first guy that gave you that number, please run ooo. He will use your money for pepper soup. The second so call Engineer, that 8MM in decking is questionable. I believe it should be 10MM and will be far more then that number including more extra banding wires. Please always use qualified Engineers to save life. Remember people will live there, people lives are more important than the structure. Build safe.

Thank you sir, my Oga's put up debate to clarify the issue. We can all see first line of simple defence from the debate in order not to be a victim of those criminals, deeper search in State database is necessary to unravel the truth before money exchange hand. Those estate companies are the biggests scammers at a larger scale in real estate business.

Building Approval Process.
For your Land Survey Services call 08118239405
I hope the streamline the kakistocracy officers in the system that kept people waiting for years to get approval. Those are the reasons why many building ilegal without approve, some of them with endless request of document that people won't even get from their assistant agencies within state system. For example, land information, land coordinate search or survey etc.

That's where I buy most of the tiles I use in many mid range building projects. They make a lot of quality products like Goodwill and other brands. But the tiles I used for this very project is not from this company. Another big company is just starting around the same location.
O ga Spyder if this gigantic company as being producing tiles in your backyard please don’t be silent about it, let keep promoting our locally made products. I have been an advocate of made in Nigeria products for years, many people don’t know many of those items are produced in Nigeria. Many of these young people don’t know what is being produced in Nigeria as far back 80’s. Up till now many people don’t know POP, Tiles, PVC pipes, Glass, electrical sockets, distribution boxes, electric meters are produced in Ogun, even those so called Chinese doors are produced in lekki. Iron rods in Kaduna and Kwara and many more.
