I am considering going into real-estate development in Nigeria on a small scale(building and selling). But considering the high cost of roofing these days in Nigeria what advice will you give someone about roofing a 3 bedroom bungalow on cutting down the costs and still getting a quality job:

1. What's the advantage of using 'long span' over the so-called Cameroon Zinc?
2. Any idea how much it may cost to roof a 3 bedroom bungalow with a long span (including wood, and labour). Just a recent rough estimate of a similar project.

Thanks for your useful contribution.

I am not a guru by any stretch.

I think longspan may just be easier/quicker to fix. A friend's 2 x 3bedroom flats with security post is being roofed at roughly 660k for nogging and about 820k for .45mm longpan. Everything included.

Another person did a 3bedroom bungalow at 305k nogging and 515k longspan about 10 months ago.= 820k total for materials and labour. Lonspan is anything from N1050 to N1200 per sqm (.45mm)depending on location.

Perhaps your surest way to cut down on cost is that you may get a discount of say 2.5 to 5% from longspan suppliers as you become an established customer.

Another way is to buy the materials in the name of an already established customer and get a discount. In the past by doing so, I have managed to slash around 50k from longspan cost. May not be big money but in business, such little amounts saved here and there can make a difference to profit margin.

You will learn the ropes but initially beware. Monitor your workers well. Artisans overquote everything. Sometimes by up to 30%!
One quotation for roofing was once inflated by about 140k for just nogging!
