Services

Everything your project needs, under one contract.

Choose full design and build, or bring us in for one part of the job. Every service comes with the same reporting, testing and payment controls.

Residential

Homes and estates

From a family bungalow in Ikorodu to a 40-unit estate in Lekki. We plan for Lagos realities: drainage on low-lying land, power backup, water treatment and security from the first drawing.

  • Bungalows and duplexes
  • Terraces and semi-detached homes

  • Solar and inverter-ready wiring
  • Borehole and water treatment
  • Sand-filling and flood-aware levels
  • Perimeter fencing and gatehouses
Commercial

Offices, retail and hospitality

Buildings that open on time, because a late shop or office means lost rent. We phase work so tenants can move in early where the design allows.

Remodelling and completing stalled buildings

Many buildings across Nigeria sit half-finished after a builder walked away. We start with a structural integrity test before we add a single block, then give you a fixed plan to finish.

  • Extensions and added floors
  • Re-roofing and waterproofing
  • Kitchen and bathroom upgrades

Design

Drawings and approvals

Full drawing sets prepared by registered architects and engineers, plus the permit work that most owners find hardest.

Advisory

Project management

Project management starts before a single block is moulded. From the first planning meeting we set up the accounts, the material controls and the supervision that protect your money and your building, and they run until handover. We do this on every CIDO build, and as your representative on site when another contractor is building.

Accounting

Cost and accounts

A budget built from the bill of quantities. Every naira spent is recorded against it, and you get a monthly statement of money spent against work done.

Materials

Material control

Materials ordered against the drawings, every delivery counted and checked on arrival, and a site store record so nothing goes missing or to waste.

Supervision

Site supervision

A named engineer on site, daily logs, and every artisan's work checked against the specification before it is paid for.

Detailing

Detailing and quality

Construction details settled before work starts, and inspections and material tests recorded at every stage.

Schedule

Programme of work

A clear programme from planning to handover, with delays flagged early and a plan to recover them.

Reporting

Reports and payments

Weekly photo reports, monthly owner reports, and payments approved only after the work has been valued and inspected.

Questions owners ask us

Do I need a Certificate of Occupancy before building?

You need valid title to the land, and planning approval requires proof of it. A C of O or Governor's Consent is the strongest. If you have a deed of assignment or survey plan only, we will advise on the safest route before you spend on design.

Can you start without building approval?

No. Building without approval in Lagos risks sealing or demolition. We can start site clearing and soil tests while approvals are processed, so no time is wasted.

How do you deal with rising material prices?

Your bill of quantities includes a price-lock window. We buy key materials such as cement, reinforcement and roofing early where cash flow allows, and we agree any adjustment formula in writing before work starts.

Can I supply some materials myself?

Yes. We will inspect anything you supply against the specification and record it, so responsibility is always clear.

Does location matter? Do you work outside Lagos?

Location affects both cost and approvals: the ground, access for materials, labour rates and the approving agency all change from place to place. We run Lagos projects from our head office and set up a site team wherever the project is, across Nigeria and in other African countries, with local licensed partners for approvals outside Nigeria.

Do you take small projects?

Yes. Fences, extensions and renovations get the same reporting as large builds.
