Survey fees vary by location (zones) and land size. Once your surveyor calculates the total size, you'll receive a detailed quote:
80% goes to Lagos State Ministry for documentation (MDS Fee)
20% covers site work and office drafting
At OME, we offer clear breakdowns and help you handle both payments with full transparency.
