Hello all,

We decided to proceed with the renovation of the building in Lagos and I insisted on doing everything according to the books. So we've paid safety commission, town planning, omo onile money. These already costs over 3m already. According to the engineer only Labca approval is remaining. I told him I don't want backdoor approval. So he sent me this list, that's requested from Labca official. Which totals over 4.3m. I think This expenses are outrageous. Can someone please help if this is how things are done? cc diordaves acmebuilding billions123

From my personal experience with approval process in Lagos, it's a fair billing, the only thing i find exagerated is the LUPAR fee.
LUPAR is just a report that could be sourced from any approved "connected" source. You people may ask from another source within your local gov. area Like the LASPPPA(town planning ) office of the site location, it may be like 300k instead of the quoted 750k. Don't source from outside your LGA.

The quoted tax money is for the last three years, its fair enough, thats how people in need of approval have been paying it. I paid as much recently also.

Was in Abuja on Saturday too.. Mabushi area. We have a renovation work in that area.. Wike is really working in Abuja. Serious road construction is really going on there

Yes, wike is trying in that aspect, road construction in every corner of Abuja since he was appointed minister. Hope the renovation is going well? .. good luck on the project . We were in life camp and won't be returning until duty calls.

Over do?
Have you heard screeding to fully dried floor laying, whereby you screed the floor and lay maybe the following day? With gum and cement with combing trowel

Different types of Tiling dey.... You can never conclude a fixed price for tiling works.....

But that doesn't justify charging another money for skirting and tiling the soap space.

Thanks for your . If This is how it is then I wonder why people complain of high rent cost in Lagos. When one is already spending almost 10m on permits and approvals only. No wonder people would rather go behind the door for approval. If not for sentimental reasons, I go don run.. Residential projects or building in general is not worth it in Lagos Abeg.

Where are you located? In the diaspora? Are all the documents in your name? If yes, you can work out the income tax to far far less. If you are in Nigeria, are you paying tax? If yes, submit this evidence for a negotiated amount. If you are not paying tax, you need to work with them but not that amount on the list.

All you need to pay should be less than 2mil.

Sorry, I didn't See the last sentence before. Do you mean the total amount to pay for everything on the list should be around 2m or you meant the tax?

Anything more than 20% is overbloated

Did you know that materials covered about 65-75pec of total cost of construction ?

Good morning guys, please I need here, the person I got from Jiji is quoting 3.5k per square meters and he is not proving anything, even down to what to rent

That is his quotation here. For the record, the total square meters is 230 and he said we will need to do 10cm thickness

Good morning house, I hope you are all having a wonderful weekend.


Please what’s the current price range for architectural designs/drawings for a 3bed room bungalow. Thanks

Available and affordable

Materials shouldn't cost less than 80% of the cost of building.

Any workmanship that cost more than 20% is expensive

Please don't let them convince you to do anything back door deal, lagos state will come hard on you. Stability test is not a letter, it is a complete test report that will be submitted. I hope that your assessment fee is correct, because assessment is based on size of building and height , including security, generator, even dog house on the land will be measure. If you don't have them on the drawing, they will come for physical inspection, if anything different from your drawing, they will reassess you for additional fee. Tax bill to high, if you don't want to expose your income from abroad, they have standard average income tax of 1.5m they charge. If you're lucky to be handlining 2 projects at the same time, that amount cover those 2 projects as far they are in the same year. Good luck

Why should labor base on the cost of project? I don't understand this
