My people, the whole of this building, which includes the half raft chaining in the foundation, the building, roofing, electrical piping, plastering and designing works, pillars and metal doors and windows with burglary proof has cost us a sum total of N1,800,000.00 till date. This also includes the materials and labour expenses and supervision till the stage in the picture above.
It does not mean that all locations will have this same cost, the location we met here was very challenging. I am still trying to remember if there are any other costs not remembered.

This is really amazing....N1.8M I now strongly believe that I can have same/similar structure before March next yr InshaAllah. I have waited and waited for this answer and thank God that it is one that just boosted my morale.

Even though it wasnt broke down ( I am sure the rigour af typing wink ) I still appreciate that figure so much. I am sure I can give you a call anytime I need clarification. Thank you teasha!

The initial budget was for N2.8m for everything including tiles and lighting fittings, ceiling and toilet fittings but I think the cost above is for the present picture so far, am still trying to remember if its exactly in that range since I don't have al my papers here so no praises yet o grin

Wow! I can promise you there won't be a single burglary proof covering my windows or doors. I just can't live in a house with such metal. I just don't buy it that it keeps thieves out. How can someone survive fire outbreak in case it happens? I don't pray for such thing but there is possibility.

My brother, I never wanted it too... and I fought against it, but my people will not agree so I concur. No burglary proof can save you in Nigeria, but it's just a preventive measure... I see only God as my Security... But if you leave in Rome act like Roman before the world blame you.

Jesus . Am speechless, I know it's a small house but that is a very reasonable amount. Am building two units three bedrooms and I know how much I
have spent so far, I stay in Europe and someone is taking care of it for me. Sometimes it is your own people who are finishing us. Another food for thought.

Being overseas for 2, 3, 6, 4, 8, 40, 50, 11 years has nothing to do with it? It is personal choice that I don't like to live in a prison like home. Why should I have high fence with wires and high concrete walls, then I have to add burglary proof to it? That burglary proof won't protect you if big boys really want to get into your home. There are things available to cut down your so called burglary proof in less than two minutes.

My man, better plan for a good burglary proof if you are in Nigeria, the security situation here is not funny at all. It is not as if the burglary proof will give you 100 % protection against vandalism or break ins, but it will reduce the ease of breaking in. I like it because it will slow down an intruder while I load my gun grin grin or at least call for help on phone.

What we do these days is to disguise burglary proofs as a part of aesthetics in the building, either use it as a flowery design, or a fancy art work to lesson the feel of being in prison. But it is important, if not some bad people will be encouraged with a quick and easy break in. God forbid.

Oga Mufutau and all my people here, as I was thinking, there is a miscalculation of amounts remitted to me as I was building this house. I forgot to add a particular amount. This whole house building, materials, labour and supervision cost us a total of N2.1m so far. Please lets correct the earlier impression that it cost N1.8 as I wrongly calculated day before yesterday. Thanks.

@spyder880 the amount you have spent so far is considerable. Kindly upload pictures of the rooms. Are the rooms en suite with toilet and bathroom or centrally shared for the 2 rooms?
Re: Low Cost Housing. A Case Study Of The Cost Of Building A 2 Bedroom Bungalow. by sharpsharp: 1:19pm On Nov 03, 2014
I just looked at the plan and saw that the 2 rooms share same bathroom and toilet.

We have two toilets in this house. In the plans there was supposed to be one toilet centrally located for the use of the two bedrooms and another toilet to serve as spare toilet and visitors use but later we decided to convert the visitor’s toilet as an en suite toilet to the inner bedroom. We had to create a door to connect the toilet to the bedroom. The second toilet is still located along the passage.

No sir, we did not modify the plans on paper, what we did was to shorten the passage and use the end of it as the new toilet, accessible through the last bedroom.
