§ 01  /  About the firm

A Nigerian surveying practice, steadily at work for more than twenty years.

The firm is Port Harcourt-based and conducts the ordinary, careful work of land surveying: measuring, mapping, documenting, and advising.

Background

Ohjay Associates Limited has operated as a surveying and land resources management consultancy since 2002. Our office is located on Old Aba Road in Port Harcourt, and the practice has been built almost entirely through referral - landowners, legal practitioners, estate developers, and institutional clients returning to us, and recommending us onward.

We do not hold ourselves out as the largest firm in the country, nor as anything other than a careful local practice. That is the work we do and the standard we keep.

Our scope sits within the ordinary remit of a registered surveying practice: cadastral and boundary surveys, estate layout planning, pillar number applications, and the preparation of survey plans to support land documentation and registration.

Engagements are accepted on a case-by-case basis following inspection and a written fee agreement. We confirm what is required, what is not, and what can reasonably be delivered - before beginning.

§ 02  /  Services

The work we accept, and the work we do not.

Five core services. Each begins with inspection, proceeds by field survey and desk computation, and ends with documented deliverables.

i.
Cadastral & Boundary Surveys
What it is
Field measurement and mapping of a parcel's boundary, corner coordinates, and dimensions, to the accuracy standard required for legal and administrative purposes.
For whom
Individual landowners; families consolidating inherited land; developers preparing for acquisition or sale.
ii.
Estate Layout Planning
What it is
Subdivision of a larger parcel into plots with road reservations, setbacks, and supporting drawings suitable for approval and onward sale.
For whom
Estate developers, cooperative societies, families subdividing legacy holdings.
iii.
Pillar Number Processing
What it is
Preparation and submission of applications for special pillar numbers through the Office of the Surveyor-General, in compliance with SURCON regulation.
For whom
Clients requiring a registered, uniquely-numbered boundary record prior to formal documentation.
iv.
Survey Plan Documentation
What it is
Preparation of survey plans - drawn, signed, and sealed - suitable for Certificate of Occupancy applications, conveyance, perfection of title, and related processes.
For whom
Owners seeking title regularisation; legal practitioners acting on behalf of clients.
v.
Land & Survey Consultancy
What it is
Advisory engagements on boundary disputes, land audits, due-diligence on parcels prior to purchase, and coordination with related professionals where required.
For whom
Buyers, institutional clients, and legal teams requiring a qualified surveyor's assessment.
§ 03  /  Method of engagement

Four steps. Nothing begins in the field before the paperwork is right.

A straightforward progression from first inspection to final delivery. Timelines are confirmed case by case, in writing.

Step One
Site Inspection
We visit the parcel with the client or representative, confirm access, extent, and any observable encumbrances, and agree the scope of work and fee in writing.
Step Two
Survey Execution
Field measurement is carried out by our team using appropriate instruments, with traverse and boundary computation conducted at the office.
Step Three
Documentation & Processing
Drawings are prepared, checked, and submitted as required - including applications through the Office of the Surveyor-General where pillar numbers are involved.
Step Four
Delivery
Sealed and signed deliverables are issued to the client with a brief written summary of what has been done and what remains, if anything, to be acted upon.
§ 04  /  Assurances

What a client can reasonably expect from this firm.

We prefer to state these plainly rather than make broader claims.

i.

Written scope before work begins

A brief engagement note stating what is to be done, what is not included, the fee, and an expected timeframe - signed by both parties.

ii.

Regulatory compliance

Work is conducted within the framework of the Surveyors Council of Nigeria and applicable Rivers State regulation. Documents are sealed and signed by a registered practitioner.

iii.

Consistency of practice

The firm has retained the same office and principal practice methodology since 2002. Clients speak to the same people from instruction to delivery.

iv.

Honest assessment

Where an engagement is not appropriate, or where another professional should be consulted first, we will say so. We would rather decline than overreach.

v.

Records retained

Field notes, computations, and submitted plans are retained at the office for reference on subsequent related engagements, subject to client confidentiality.

vi.

Referral-sustained

The practice has been sustained principally by client recommendation for over two decades. We regard this as the only meaningful measure of our work.
