Hello all. I am embarking on a project to build a block of four 3-bedroom flats on my plot of land that has been lying fallow for a while now. The land is located at Sango-Ota in Ogun state. I reside abroad so this a project I will have to manage remotely through a good friend who resides in Lagos. I am starting this thread to document my progress, but most importantly to seek people's advice, suggestions and opinions, especially to do with quotations, prices, processes, materials etc. Depending on how much this might eventually cost me, I might just stop at the decking level and take a breather before continuing. So to start with, I have done the following:

land survey, cost N35,000
Architectural plan, cost N75,000

Got the following to do:
Structural engineering drawings
Stamp duty on land receipt
Tax clearance certificate
Developmental levy /receipt
Assessment fees
Processing fee (basically greasing officials' palms each step of the way)

As I get the costings for each of the above, I will update. If the costings seem unreasonable/excessive, please advise. Obviously, this is going to be a slow and long process, so I will not be updating everyday, only when there is something new I need to add. Thank you

Hello all. How much should I expect to pay for a land survey - 2 plots at Ota in Ogun State? Also any recommendations of land surveyors? Thank you
