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. And once the land checks out? Design the house on it — a full professional drawing set, from floor plans to CAD files.
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.
Type the address — or zoom the satellite map and tap the fence corners. Have a survey plan? Enter the beacon coordinates directly.
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.
Two design studios, one engine. Start playful in the Design Lab, go professional when you're ready — every credit holder gets both during launch.
Generate floor plans sized to your actual plot, drag rooms, doors and windows, add floors and balconies, walk inside at eye level in 3D, judge the sunlight — then print branded PDF plans.
Open the Design LabBuilt with practising architects. A 6-step professional brief — your setbacks, coverage limit, room-by-room requirements, privacy preset — then three scored design options (light, ventilation, privacy, efficiency) checked against 22 architectural rules. From one design, export up to 14 titled A3 drawings: floor plans, four elevations, roof plan, sections through the staircase, door & window schedules, electrical and plumbing layouts, and a preliminary cost plan that matches your budget estimate — as PDF, vector SVG and CAD-ready DXF your architect can open in AutoCAD.
Advisory drawings — for approval, our architectural partner Studio Elementals Architecture (+234 802 500 9711 · IG @studio_elementals) takes your NaijaBuild files to a stamped design.
Less than the cost of one danfo trip to Alausa — and you'll know what to ask when you get there. Launch offer: 50% off every pack until 1 Oct 2026.
