I. Who we are

Three decades of turning budgets into buildings.

Michael Daniel Associates (MDA) is a consulting project and cost management firm, registered in Lagos in 1989 as quantity surveyors, construction economists and project managers.

As construction grows more complex and resources more precious, our clients need every naira to work harder. We adapt our services to each client's requirements so that available resources are put to their best possible use.

II. How we work

One responsive, integrated team.

Our project management service gives clients a quick, responsive and integrated service. Instead of assembling and coordinating several consultants, you work with one accountable team that sets the brief and budget, leads the design team, manages procurement and monitors construction through to completion.

The result: minimal time delays and cost overruns, and none of the bottlenecks that come from dealing with many consultants at once.

III. Who trusts us

Behind some of Nigeria's most demanding public buildings.

From the Federal High Court Headquarters in Abuja and the new Federal High Court Complex in Lagos to marine jetties for NIMASA and technical audits for the Central Bank of Nigeria, our work underpins buildings that serve the nation every day.

Our mission is to be one of the foremost cost consultants and project managers in the global construction industry.
