Folkland Property Development Company is making significant stride in “making homeownership a Reality”
In the complex landscape of Nigerian property development, where unauthorised constructions and government demolitions are distressingly common, Folkland Property Development Company, PDC, a construction arm of PWAN Group, stands out as a beacon of hope.
The company’s unique selling proposition lies in its commitment to helping aspiring homeowners make informed decisions about property acquisition and development, reducing the risk of government-sanctioned demolitions.
Folkland PDC’s comprehensive services extend to being a construction arm of PWAN real estate company, one of Nigeria’s top real estate companies.
Folkland PDC is involved in construction operations, property valuation, procurement of construction materials, architecture, urban planning, and many other tasks for the PWAN real estate company.
This array of operations ensures a smooth operation and running system for its parent company and fosters an excellent relationship between the company and its clients.
Folkland PDC’s approach to responsible estate development is rooted in meticulous planning and compliance with regulatory standards.
From 2014 to date, the company has prepared residential estate development plans for over 100 estates and completed several building construction projects across various states in Nigeria.
This level of comprehensive property development projects and planning indicates Folkland PDC’s commitment to creating well-structured, legally compliant residential areas while distinguishing itself by being ranked among the top 10 property development companies in Nigeria.
Bagging the 2021 AFRICAN BRANDS award for Business Creativity, Innovations, and Quality Service Delivery shows Folkland PDC’s commitment to compliance and technology is unwavering, the company’s use of advanced construction initiatives, millennium-age equipment for site operations, and standardised site operations mechanisms that embrace geospatial technologies, such as ArcGIS products, satellite imagery, and drones, demonstrates its dedication to accuracy and precision in surveying and pre-operational planning.
By leveraging these tools, Folkland PDC ensures that its developments align with existing urban structures and zoning regulations, thereby minimising the risk of running in violation of government regulations.
The company is structured on a departmental basis, ranging from administrative to engineering and construction, procurement and quantity surveying, operation and budget, and planning and design.
A team of professionals from these departments executes the overall operation of the company. Folkland PDC’s compressive operations and services extend beyond building construction.
The company offers a broad range of technical and professional services, including architectural, urban planning, land surveying, quantity surveying, and engineering.

Folkland PDC’s efforts are particularly significant in the context of Nigeria’s urban development challenges.
Rapid urbanisation, coupled with a lack of adequate urban planning in many areas, has led to the proliferation of informal settlements and unauthorised constructions.
Government demolition efforts to reclaim land or enforce zoning laws often target these developments.
By providing a structured and legally compliant pathway to homeownership, Folkland PDC is protecting individual investments and contributing to more sustainable urban growth in Nigeria.
The company’s approach aligns with broader efforts to formalise land ownership and improve urban planning nationwide.
Moreover, the experts at Folkland PDC underscore the company’s commitment to quality and innovation in property development.
The integration of advanced technologies and modern approaches to estate development represents a significant step forward in Nigeria’s real estate sector, setting a new standard for responsible development.
The impact of Folkland PDC’s work extends beyond individual homeowners; also, by creating well-planned, legally compliant residential estates, the company contributes to the overall improvement of Nigeria’s construction sector.
However, it’s important to note that while companies like Folkland PDC are making significant strides in promoting sustainable property development, challenges remain in Nigeria’s real estate sector.
Addressing issues such as land speculation, inadequate infrastructure, and bureaucratic hurdles in obtaining necessary permits continue to pose challenges for both developers and homebuyers.
Nevertheless, the approach taken by Folkland PDC represents a positive trend in Nigeria’s construction and property development.
By prioritising compliance, leveraging technology, and adopting comprehensive planning methodologies, the company is helping to create a more secure and sustainable path to homeownership for many Nigerians.
As Nigeria continues to grapple with the challenges of rapid urbanisation, companies like Folkland PDC play a vital role in bridging the gap between individual aspirations for homeownership and the government’s need for orderly urban development.
Their efforts protect individual investments and contribute to the broader goal of creating livable, sustainable cities across Nigeria
