I'm speaking from experience sir. i spent less than 500k on the same 3 bedroom flat(large sitting room with separate designed dinning,each room with toilet and bathroom,store room etc).

May i ask, how much is a block go for in your area?

millionaireman:



Your quote is too much. 3 million Naira can do a good job completing it. Others depend on one's taste

yemmit90:


And he will need between 2000-2500 blocks.

Let assume he buy 2500, 150×2500=375,000.

Can you now see?

agarawu23:
oga change even remain

Where did you get a bricklayer that took 39k to mould 2000pcs block?

You no use iron?

Dem no dig foundation? You no pay for foundation before you start? You no buy water? ITK too plenty mehn

CASTOSVILLA:
I hate people with your kinda mentality. 375,000 for blocks only, what about the masons or do they serve themselves. Aren't you going to apply reinforced lintel at least round the building and on partition walls where there are doors. The concrete mixers and the cements, rods and iron bender money nkor? Only the foundation with all materials and labor can take away that 375,000 from his pocket unless his whole family members are workers. Guy take your itk to somewhere else and stop deceiving others.

Rotentina:


Bros, me and the bricklayer agreed on daily payment, and don't forget that the building is not up to the level, "go and check the picture once again"

So, for the iron issue.......I bought #15.000 worth of iron with 10 bags of cement, remember that my sand and gravel still remain.

I bought a total of #74.000 wood for the roof, and #95.000 for the roofing slate. Carpenter collected #80.000.

Bros, na wisdom I used in building my accommodation. Hadn't be that I follow what I was told initially.........I will still be living as a tenant.

Chukazu:


no problem.

will try and see what I can do about the analysis because majority are with my younger sister, who though was a bit wasteful but very helpful.. because the house is located in my villa, all I did was send money to her for necessary materials.

have been saving up some pictures and idea to share with everyone, maybe it's time to do so.
just gif me this week to share. thanks

You see yourself.

Na una dey lead person enter inside hole.

As at the last estimate of your link the figure stands at close to 5 million and the Superstructure is only barely completed. Roofing has not even started yet not to mention plastering before you now start talking about fittings and finishing which by the way is the most expensive part of a building construction.

Secondly this is Enugu and not Lagos. You cannot compare the cost of labor in both places.

Thirdly, the quality of the blocks used are nothing to write home about. Those blocks will give way with just a small pinch form my fingers. In time the walls of that building will start cracking and you begin to have water marks all over the place. And you know what that means. Mould and fungi with highly carcinogenic properties.

sheunflexy:
Am a site engineer,it all depend on the metres of your structures and the finishing,you might have taste for good finishing which might cost you more money,but with what am seening,5m should be ok that's if you don't want parapet to be inclusive.

waldigit:


As in my post if read it, the bld is now at lintel level. If you have rough estimate of 2000 blocks @ 140, you have 280k alone on blocks. Let alone other cost 4rm foundation to labour, cement at least 50 bags, labour, sandr. I hope you captured your cost very well. If you check my signature you shall see I am scholar in construction cost. It is well.

Roon9:
As a civil engineer I would suggest u don't jus build a bungalow but add another flat to it cos without a good quantity surveyor most of the materials you would buy would cover for it n u will spend less Dan 13 milla as a against d 7 to 8 million for a 3 bedroom bungalow.

However u could start with the cash u av earmarked n stop weneva d money finishes. Never try to rush over a house u r going to live in

Builders Pls! How Much Would It Cost Me To Complete This 3bedroom Bungalow

How much would it cost me to complete this 3bedroom bungalow without the car park room, in areas such as mowe, ikorodu etc?

allen0000:
Architects and Builders help me take a look at this plan, designed by me but I'm not an architect, builder or Engineer. Someone told me it will cost me 50-60m to finish this. Please how much will this cost, land is a dry land.

BOUNTYDOG:


Very discouraging.
Even Rome was not built in a day.
Like one architect said,u stop a point where your 3m can get u and continue later when you can rather than saving the 3million and working more,u don't know wind can blow money?
Trying to save more on the 3m can be so tricky!

allen0000:
This is the plan
