Why estates call us

Three problems we are called in for most.

Problem 01

The regulator has noticed your sewage.

Environmental regulators are sealing estates for untreated discharge and dead treatment plants, with Lagos leading the enforcement. A sealed gate is a resident revolt waiting to happen. We audit the plant, bring it back to life and manage the clearance.

How we get plants compliant
Problem 02

Residents don't trust the water.

Borehole water without proper treatment carries iron, hardness and bacteria. Residents see the brown stains and the bottled water bills before you see a complaint. We test, treat and publish the results every month.

How we make estate water safe
Problem 03

The diesel bill has doubled and nobody can explain the tariff.

When energy is most of the service charge, every increase becomes a fight. We meter, show the cost per kilowatt-hour, cut what can be cut and bring in solar hybrid with financing partners when the numbers work.

How we take control of power costs

How we work

Check. Fix. Run. Report.

  1. Check.

    An engineer inspects your water, sewage, power and grounds and writes a report your exco can act on.

  2. Fix.

    We rehabilitate what is broken and install what is missing, with a fixed price and a mobilisation schedule.

  3. Run.

    Our team operates and maintains the plants and the estate day to day, with named staff and response times.

  4. Report.

    Every month you get test results, spend against budget and open issues, in writing.

Open books

One document, every month, no surprises.

The monthly report is the product. Every naira, every test result, every open issue, in writing to the exco.
