Lagos land is gold — and gold attracts scammers. NaijaBuild checks any plot against the official LASPPPA zoning plans, 4.6 million satellite-mapped buildings and live Google records — in about 60 seconds, with a PDF report you can hand to your lawyer, surveyor or family.
Documents can be forged. A single source can be stale. NaijaBuild cross-examines every plot with three different kinds of evidence, so you see agreement — or contradiction — before money moves.
Your plot located inside the digitized LASPPPA Model City Plans — the legal zoning instruments. Residential, commercial, restricted or reserved: we name the designation, the plan, and our confidence level.
Google Open Buildings — millions of AI-detected rooftops — tells us how built-up the area truly is today. A "swamp" on a 2013 map that now holds 235 buildings? We say so, in numbers.
Live Google Places data lists the actual schools, hospitals, banks and businesses within 250m — with distances. Real institutions rarely build on disputed land. Names beat rumours.
If your plot falls outside every digitized 2019 zoning polygon, the report flags it in red and gives you the exact Alausa offices — Surveyor-General (charting), Land Registry (title search & caveats), LASPPPA (current designation) — to verify against government acquisition before you pay a kobo. We even flag the Lagos–Calabar Coastal Highway corridor, where titled buildings have been demolished.
No surveyor visit needed to start. If you can find the land on a map, you can check it.

Zoning, plot size, road & drainage setbacks, power lines, enforcement history, built-up density, named neighbours, coastal risk — measured, not guessed.
A branded PDF with satellite view, every finding cited, and recommended next steps. Toggle Detailed area intel for every establishment and its distance.
Every credit holder unlocks our 3D design studio: generate floor plans sized to your actual plot, drag rooms, doors and windows, add floors and balconies, walk inside at eye level, judge the sunlight — then print branded PDF plans. Free while you hold check credits.
