Building Renovation and Improvement in Lagos, Nigeria
Our Building Renovation and Improvement in Lagos restores and modernises ageing houses, offices and shops, repairing roofs, walls, plumbing and wiring and upgrading interiors so the whole building performs well again.
Building Renovation and Improvement by My Space Design
Buildings in Lagos age quickly under strong sun, heavy rainfall and coastal humidity. Roof sheets rust, gutters overflow, damp climbs walls and old wiring struggles with modern appliances. Our Building Renovation and Improvement in Lagos addresses these problems across the whole structure, combining repairs to the fabric with upgrades to finishes and services so the property is sound, safe and pleasant to use for the years ahead.
We begin with a condition survey that records roof coverings, ceilings, wall cracks, floor slabs, doors, windows, plumbing and electrical installations. From that survey we draw up a schedule of works that separates urgent repairs from improvements you may phase later. Our Construction Cost Estimation service prices each item, and our Building Site Supervision keeps quality steady while artisans from different trades work on the building.
My Space Design works from Ipaja and renovates residential and commercial buildings across Alimosho and the wider Lagos area. We restore family houses, blocks of flats, office buildings, shops and event halls, producing improvement schemes that respect the vision and budget of each owner. Durable materials, skilled workmanship and careful supervision run through every building renovation project we take on.
Scope of work
Building renovation and improvement works we carry out
Roof and gutter repairs
We replace rusted or leaking roof sheets with aluminium or stone coated roofing, renew fascia boards, repair timber trusses and install gutters and downpipes that carry rainwater clear of walls and foundations.
Crack and damp treatment
We cut out and repair cracked plaster, treat rising damp at the base of walls, seal leaking slabs with waterproof membranes and replaster affected areas so paint and finishes stay intact afterwards.
Electrical rewiring
Ageing cables and overloaded circuits are replaced with new wiring, a modern consumer unit, earthing and fresh sockets and switches, giving the building capacity for air conditioners, inverters and kitchen appliances.
Plumbing upgrades
We renew corroded galvanised pipes with PPR or PVC pipework, replace overhead tanks and pumps where needed, fix soakaway and drainage problems and fit new sanitary ware in kitchens and bathrooms.
Doors and windows
Old louvre windows and warped doors make way for aluminium casement or sliding windows, burglar proofing, steel security doors and solid hardwood interior doors with new frames, locks and ironmongery.
Interior modernisation
Once the fabric is sound, we upgrade interiors with new floor tiles, POP ceilings, lighting, paint and fitted storage, bringing dated rooms in line with how the building is used today.
Our process
How building renovation and improvement is delivered
- Step 1
Condition survey
We inspect the building from roof to foundation, test services and record every defect with photographs. The survey report forms the factual basis of the renovation plan and estimate.
- Step 2
Schedule of works
We list repairs and improvements in order of priority, attach specifications and prepare a cost estimate. Owners can approve the full schedule or phase the building improvements over several stages.
- Step 3
Repair and upgrade
Our team works through structural repairs, roofing, services and finishes in a logical order, with a supervisor on site coordinating masons, plumbers, electricians, carpenters and painters.
- Step 4
Inspection and handover
We test plumbing and electrical installations, check finishes against the specification and inspect the building with you. Final corrections are completed before handover of the renovated property.

Questions
Building Renovation and Improvement FAQs
What does Building Renovation and Improvement in Lagos involve?
It covers repairs to the building fabric, such as roofs, walls, slabs and drainage, together with upgrades to plumbing, wiring, doors, windows and interior finishes. We survey the property first and set out every item in a schedule of works for your approval.
How is the cost of a building renovation worked out?
The cost depends on scope, size and finishes. Once we have surveyed the building and agreed the schedule of works, My Space Design prepares a cost estimate before work starts. Owners can then approve the whole scheme or split it into phases.
Can you renovate a building that is still occupied?
Yes. We plan the works in zones, protect occupied rooms and schedule noisy tasks at agreed times. For blocks of flats and offices we coordinate access with tenants so daily life and business continue during the building renovation.
Do you renovate commercial buildings as well as homes?
We carry out Building Renovation and Improvement in Lagos for houses, apartment blocks, offices, shops, restaurants and event halls. Each building receives a survey and a schedule of works tailored to its use, condition and budget.
