We Saved a ₦2B Estate ₦138M.
Here Is Our Exact Assessment and Recommendation.
We inspected a ₦2 billion estate's roof. Here's what we told the owner and why his facilities manager initially disagreed.
The estate has 47 units. Twelve years old. Visible corrosion on roof edges. Three previous patch jobs in four years.
The facilities manager a conscientious professional with 20 years' experience had budgeted ₦180M for full replacement in his 2026 capital plan.
He called us for a "second opinion before we go to board."
Our Assessment (6 hours, 14 core samples, full adhesion testing):
Substrate Integrity: 78%
- Concrete deck: Sound, no structural degradation
- Steel sections: Surface corrosion only, no section loss
- Timber elements: 12% replacement needed in valley areas
Coating Adhesion Failure: 23% localized
- Junction failures at 6 critical points
- Previous patch incompatibility causing accelerated degradation
- Main field areas: 89% adhesion retention
Waterproofing Compromised: 6 junctions
- Not a systemic failure localized to poor original detailing
- 94% of roof area waterproofing intact when properly tested
Targeted restoration, not replacement.
- Phase 1: Junction rebuild and timber replacement (₦18M)
- Phase 2: Full membrane overlay with Nutech coating system (₦19M)
- Phase 3: Protective topcoat and warranty certification (₦5M)
- Total: ₦42M
- Warranty: 20 years
- Timeline: 5 weeks, phased to avoid tenant relocation
The facility manager said:
"But the roof is 12 years old. Don't we need to plan for replacement?"
Our Response:
"Yes. In year 20. When the warranty expires.
Between now and then, you've saved ₦138M, avoided tenant disruption, and maintained your estate's reputation.
The board will ask why you spent ₦180M when ₦42M solved the problem."
He presented our report. The board approved restoration unanimously.
When was the last time a contractor recommended the cheaper option and you believed them?
What would it take for you to trust that recommendation?
This assessment required six hours of physical inspection, laboratory testing of core samples, and structural engineering review.
Most roofing contractors quote replacement after a 20-minute walk-around because they don't have the technical capability to assess restoration viability.
We have in-house structural engineers, certified coating applicators, and a 20-year warranty backed by Nutech which is why we can recommend restoration when it's appropriate, and replacement when it's truly needed.
