The district is built
from its own hill.
A hard-rock granite reserve standing inside the land it will pave.
The reserve
Fifteen million tonnes,
already on site.
Zokoyako Hills stands inside Burun A across 17.10 hectares of the masterplan, carrying an indicated granite reserve of fifteen million tonnes. It is the only district in Phase 4 South with its own aggregate source written into the land-use plan.
That reserve does two jobs. First, it removes the largest single line item from the district's own civil works — the sub-base under 48 kilometres of road, the retaining and revetment stone, the aggregate in every cubic metre of concrete poured on site. Material that would otherwise be trucked in at haulage cost is instead walked downhill.
Second, once the group's own programme is served, the balance is sold into the Abuja construction market from a quarry with an unusually short road to demand. Extraction also flattens and terraces the ridge, releasing elevated developable land that did not exist before the stone came out.

Responsibility
A quarry inside
a neighbourhood.
Extracting stone from land you also intend to sell as homes imposes a discipline most quarries never face. The plan is written backwards from the day the last blast is fired.
- iSequenced extractionBenching planned so that worked-out faces are stabilised and released for development as the operation advances.
- iiBlast, dust and noise controlControlled charge design, water suppression and buffer setbacks from released residential phases.
- iiiProgressive rehabilitationTerracing, slope treatment and landscaping delivered phase by phase, not deferred to closure.
- ivLocal employment and supplyOperations staffed and serviced from the surrounding communities as a condition of the licence to operate.
