Congratulations to all my profesional colleagues and I who were successfully inducted today as members of the Chartered Institute of Project Managers of Nigeria (CIPMN). It is a privilege to join a community of professionals committed to excellence, ethics, and continuous development in project management.

Although I was unable to be physically present in Abuja for the induction due to my earlier commitment to the Nigerian Institution of Surveyors (NIS) Annual General Meeting in Kano, I am grateful that I was successfully inducted by proxy.

This achievement represents another step in my commitment to lifelong learning and professional excellence. As a Surveyor and Project Consultant, I strongly believe that successful projects require more than technical expertise. They require sound leadership, effective planning, stakeholder management, risk management, quality delivery, and a commitment to creating lasting value.

The learning journey continues as I prepare for the professional licensing examination that will qualify me to practice as a licensed Project Manager.

Congratulations once again to every inductee. I wish us all greater opportunities to make meaningful contributions to our profession, our organizations, and our nation.

The journey continues.

In construction, many people only notice problems when something goes wrong. An example is when a structure sits outside its intended position.

At that point, correction becomes expensive and stressful.

But most of these problems begin much earlier, long before the foundation is dug or when reinforcement is being placed. They begin when proper measurements and professional guidance are ignored.

Surveying may not always be the most visible part of a project, but it is one of the most critical. It establishes the truth on the ground and ensures that what is built aligns with what was planned.

When accuracy is handled properly at the beginning, many future problems simply never appear.

Sometimes the most important work on a project is the work people barely notice.

Proudly a Surveyor and Project Consultant.

Behind every well positioned building is not luck. It is the result of coordinated professional input.

Before construction begins, the surveyor establishes the true boundaries of the land and performs the setting out. This ensures the structure is built in the correct position, respects required setbacks, and aligns with the approved design.

Without this step done correctly, even a perfect architectural drawing can be wrongly implemented on ground.

The architect defines the vision and translates the client’s needs into functional design. The engineer ensures structural safety and stability. The builder brings the design to life. Each professional plays a critical role, and the absence or negligence of one can affect the entire project.

Setting out, in particular, is where accuracy becomes reality. It is the point where drawings meet the physical ground. Errors at this stage can lead to costly adjustments later.

The photos below show one of our recent setting out exercises at Iyaganku GRA, Ibadan. Moments like this may look simple, but they carry the responsibility of ensuring the entire structure begins correctly.

Engaging the right professionals is not an added cost. It is what protects your investment and ensures confidence from foundation to completion.

One of the most painful conversations I have with people is when they discover a problem on land they already paid for.

Not because the problem could not be detected. But because proper checks were not done before payment.

I have seen situations where

• The land size was different from what was promised

• The land was already committed to another buyer

• The boundaries on ground did not match the paper

• Or the land was affected by government acquisition, road alignment or other restrictions

These issues do not start on site. They start from the moment proper verification is ignored.

Land is not something you rush into because the offer sounds urgent. A genuine property will still stand after proper verification.

As professionals, our role is not just to measure land. It is to protect our clients from avoidable loss and give them confidence in their investment.

A verified land today saves you years of regret tomorrow.

Setting out is often seen as one of the simplest parts of construction. Many people assume you arrive on site, place your controls, pick your points, and mark positions. Yes, it looks easy from the outside.

But every experienced surveyor knows the truth. No two sites behave the same. Every site has its own peculiarity.

There are sites where everything aligns naturally, especially when the surveyor is involved from the beginning. Boundaries are intact. Access is clear. Control points fall into place. Work progresses smoothly.

And there are sites that truly test your understanding. Sites with disturbed beacons, physical constraints, incomplete references, and conflicts between drawing and ground reality. In such moments, setting out stops being routine and becomes professional judgment.

As surveyors, we do not force the site to obey assumptions. We study it. We understand it. We work with its conditions while preserving accuracy and design intent. It may take more time than expected, but precision is never rushed.

The difference is not just the equipment. It is the ability to read the site and respond correctly.

Because in the end, every peg placed carries responsibility. Every accurate setting out becomes the quiet foundation upon which successful structures rise.

Fellow surveyors and construction professionals, what site challenges have strengthened your experience? Your insights may help someone else avoid costly mistakes.

For over a year now, I have seen families cry.

I have seen houses demolished.
I have seen people lose what took them years to build.

Not because they did not work hard.

Not because they did not have good intentions.

But because of an avoidable mistake: buying land and building without proper verification.

The truth is this: government may have its own shortcomings, policies may change, and infrastructure projects like road corridors may suddenly come into play. But in most cases, the bigger problem is that many people bought land without proper verification, accurate survey, or genuine building approval.

Land is not something to assume. It must be verified. Boundaries must be confirmed. Survey plans must be accurate. Approvals must be genuine. When these steps are skipped, the risk is transferred to the buyer, and the consequences can be painful.

This message is not to blame anyone. It is to educate and warn.
Before you buy land.
Before you build.
Please verify.

It is always cheaper to confirm early than to cry later.
