Borehole done. Materials arriving.

The borehole has been successfully drilled and completed this week. Water supply for the build and the finished homes is now secured.

Materials being delivered to the Eden site at week 2

Materials are now being delivered to site in preparation for commencement of construction. Granite, blocks, and sand have arrived and are being staged on site. The foundation crew is scheduled to begin next week.

With the borehole in place and materials on the ground, we are ready to break ground on the foundations for all three homes - Àríkẹ́, Ivory, and Adé.

Site fenced, gated, and ready.

The perimeter wall is complete. The site office container is in position. Timber and blocks are staged for the foundation crew. Workers on site this week setting up the upright supports for what comes next.

LivMalik site at week 1: perimeter wall complete, container office in place, neighbouring homes behind the wall

The finished houses you can see behind our wall belong to the neighbouring compounds. We introduced ourselves to three of the four direct neighbours this week. A build is a relationship with the neighbourhood it sits in, for as long as it takes, and the houses you can see behind our wall are the neighbourhood we are joining, not the standard we are setting.

Before any work began, the full title chain was verified with Bashmash Solicitors. The Certificate of Statutory Right of Occupancy (Volume 3053, Page 60), the Ministry of Lands sub-division approval (reference LLA 0647/T/21), and the Deed of Assignment in favour of Adebayo Adekola all confirmed in writing. Governor's Consent application is in progress in parallel.

No construction work happens at LivMalik until the legal foundation is sound. That principle holds for every project we ever do.
