Public Park Construction Project in Nigeria by Limult
Parks are critical to a community’s spirit. Without public parks, there’d be little social interaction, with no play space for kids and no enjoyable outdoor resting space for adults. From splash parks to dog parks to playgrounds, these public green spaces are recreational areas that serve the needs of community members.
Building a park always starts with identifying the location. If you’ve got a park location in mind, or are looking at several potential locations, consider these fundamental factors:
- Accessibility: Is the location wheelchair accessible, and can it be easily reached by public transport, car or bike? The easier it is to get to the park, the more use it will get. It’s important to build inclusive playgrounds to make everyone feel welcome.
- Character: Is there a historic location or special area that could attract park-goers for more than just nature? Use your community’s unique characteristics and history to drive park traffic and strengthen community ties.
- Safety: Is the area you’re considering located somewhere that’s considered safe, with a low crime rate?
Many of today’s new parks are developed on lands designated by planning committees. The space could either be unused, and open for development, or it could be an area that is already associated with public property such as school grounds. Likewise, it could even be private property turned public by estate grants or service organization purchases.
Regardless, all parks must have public access if they’re going to serve the community’s highest and best needs.

Construction of District Hospital project in Nigeria by Limult
Hospital construction projects pose extremely complex managerial problems. Recent government reports have been scathing in their criticisms of the unacceptable delays and cost increases in the delivery of new hospitals. The problems that hospital project managers face are particularly acute during the early stages of the project when the detailed user requirements are being established.
Many of the problems that develop later in the project can be traced back to a lack of attention given to the early stages of the project. It is in these early stages that the project manager has to reconcile the many disparate and often conflicting demands made by the multitude of user groups, funding bodies, government departments, estates maintenance departments and project consultants.
Hospital development characteristics
One of the most striking characteristics that distinguish hospital projects from other project types is the time scale over which they occur and the large costs involved. It is common for total costs to run to many tens of millions of naira and for total project time scales to reach ten to fifteen years.
When these types of time scales are compared against the average human life of seventy years their significance becomes apparent. Technologically, hospitals are also likely to be highly complex requiring the integration of diverse and intricate building services.
Functionally they are equally complex, having to satisfy the disparate demands of the general public and the highly trained staff that operate the facility. The functional performance requirements are such that the quality of construction has to be exceptionally high.

Limult Railway Development
In most of the Sub-Saharan African (SSA) countries railways have played, throughout history, a key part in the economic development maintaining a dominant role in transporting freight and passengers at low costs. During the last 50 years, the road transport in the region as throughout the world has expanded rapidly due to the aggressive development of the automobile industry. African governments have invested mainly in road infrastructure improvement, neglecting railways. The liberalization in road transport and the slow response of railways to adapt to the new market conditions resulted in dramatic traffic decline in rail transport. By 1990 most of the Sub-Saharan African railways were in virtual bankruptcy, requiring permanent cash injection and large investments in infrastructure and rolling stock. To address the crisis, many governments have considered concessions as a solution, and between the mid-1990s and 2010 most of the railways were concessioned. Currently, more than 70 percent of the rail transport activities in the region (excluding South Africa) are managed by private operators. The World Bank Group (IDA and IFC) has supported most concession processes through grants and loans, investing since 1996 more than one billion dollars to support the efforts of the governments and private operators. The recommendations suggested in the present document are based on a comprehensive approach for improving the performance of the railway sector in parallel with the enhancement of the governance of the transport sector. The rhythm of implementation of such a complex set of recommendations may vary from country to country depending on local conditions and will require, in any case, a long period of time. Nevertheless, the dramatic status of the railway transport sector in SSA requires rapid actions. In this respect, the present work includes a selected list of most urgent recommendations to be implemented in the first stage. The way ahead for improving the performance of railways in Sub-Saharan Africa is a complex endeavor that cannot be achieved without the strong involvement of the private sector.

Limult Mini-industry construction for community development
WHY CONSTRUCTION AND LAND DEVELOPMENT ARE IMPORTANT FOR COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
We can all agree that land development is essential for a community’s success. While development can sometimes be frowned upon, as it changes the face of the landscape, creates more traffic, changes ecosystems and habitats, it is imperative for the prosperity of your community. It can generate more jobs, bring desired curb appeal, unite community members, and maintain or increase home values. Whether the development is residential or commercial, construction brings economic stability. Finding a balance between growth and maintaining the character of your community is key to the planning of development, as well as, weighing the pros and cons.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
Construction and land development can create added waste to our landfills and not all materials are environmentally friendly. In metropolitan or urban areas that are highly populated and built up, a heat island effect can occur. Thus, making it warmer in these areas than rural areas due to the volume of energy being consumed. Land Development can change ecosystems and force wildlife to relocate. At the same time, land development can have a positive impact on our environment. Governing entities may require developers to bring buildings up to current code or clean up contaminated sites from a previous business. Site cleanup is costly, but it brings added value to our environment. Incentives are sometimes offered for using sustainable materials or building Green or a LEED certified structure. Oftentimes developers will clear out invasive/non-native trees and replace them with native trees.
INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENTS
Some townships/cities will require the developer to make improvements to infrastructure. This might include, enhancing the road condition, replacing old water or sewer pipes, installing sidewalks, adding additional landscaping and increasing the number of public parking spaces. Holding developers accountable for community improvements removes some of the financial burdens your city/township can endure.
ECONOMIC/SOCIAL IMPACT
When you see businesses expanding, new commercial buildings being constructed, new neighborhoods being built and existing homes being renovated, it signifies a growing community. Growth can present challenges, however, it is a necessity for the prosperity of your city. Construction has a direct impact on our economy, as it creates jobs. Construction also has a trickle-down effect on industries, other than its own. Commercial and residential construction stimulates growth in retail, real estate, equipment, manufacturing plants, schools, and tourism, to name a few. Even though to community members, construction and development can seem invasive and unnecessary, it is vital for your economy.

Limult Property Value
What is property value?
Property value refers to the worth of a piece of real estate based on the price that a buyer and seller agree upon. According to economic theory, the value of a property converges at the point where the forces of supply meet the forces of demand. In other words, the value of a property at any given time is determined by what the market will bear.
Property value example
The value of your property matters in terms of how much you will be able to sell it for, but there are other issues to consider. Property value impacts:
- Your ability to refinance your mortgage or take out a line-of-credit, using your property as collateral.
- Property taxes, pushing them higher or lower.
- The overall value of your neighborhood.
Economic Factors Affecting Property Value
If the house down the street sold for a price that is higher than your CMA suggests, take a look at the mortgage market. Have interest rates risen since that sale, slowing down sales? . Is employment looking bright for the immediate future and are new companies moving in? Then property values will increase. Staying abreast of the economic indicators for your area helps explain your property's changing value.
Other Valuations, Other Purposes
A lender's appraisal carries weight when establishing a property's value. If the appraisal comes in below what a buyer is willing to pay, negotiations as to who makes up the difference can send a deal down the tubes. Lender appraisals delve deeper into the analysis of the property than a CMA, and the more recent the sale the more weight that sale price carries when arriving at a value.
A property assessor's appraisal is done to establish a tax base for the property and should not be used to establish a property's value. Most assessors' appraisals contain deductions for homesteading, tax benefits pertaining to the community, age benefits and other factors that lower the evaluation.
