Good day guys,

I plan to build a 4 bedroom ensuited bungalow for my family, and I have already began working towards it.

But recently, an idea came to mind of converting to a duplex-like structure. I do not not know whether it has a particular term, but it would be a building that would have all the bedrooms (all en-suited) on the first floor and other structures including kitchen, store, laundry rooms and ante rooms on the ground floor. I feel this gives a greater advantage for spaciousness (if there's any english like that)

Another option is to leave a bedroom on the ground floor as the guest room.

I need your insight if I should keep my initial plan or go for the new one. I have a current budget plan is 8 Million initially planned for the bungalow. Do I need to add more for the duplex, and speculatively how much more.

Please note I am a devoted muslim, I value feminine privacy. My wife uses a Hijab.

I don't really like to comment on a thread like dis cos there is no how u will get appropriate information as u desire over online forum, however, why not look for a professional in ur vicinity to enlighten u better on how to go about it? But d fact dat u are a brother, I will drop my comment.

Now consider dis fact

1 know dat u will spend double or more of ur initial budget to convert it to Duplex, ranging from the cost of substructure(foundation) to superstructure(first floor).

2 in terms of privacy, kitchen cannot be located on d first floor in Duplex cos no visitor is allowed to go up, so there would be a need for ur wife to shuttle between kitchen, dining and bedroom which is at first floor. So no privacy, but in a bungalow, d plan can be designed in such a way dat ur wife can walk freely without hijab on btw d kitchen, dining and bedroom.

For more info and designs of such, u can pm me mushood_amodu@yahoo.com

The reason a whole 8 million can not complete a house of that type now is because your builders profit is inside that your hard earned 8m.

At Mectec Contract Nig Ltd, we have developed a low cost housing convention (Locotech) that protects the client from excessive profit taking by contractors. We only charge roughly 10% of the cost of our bungalow as our fee.

With 1.9m we will deliver a 3 brm flat of our proposed design although other designs can be converted to Locotech convention but it will never be as expensive as what you get nowadays.

Though we target low cost housing schemes but we also consider single clients who have a plot of land with good soil where piling won't be required.

Nice one!

I think instead of the duplex, he could afford to have a pent floor which might even give a 5-bedroom

Hi guys,

Really value all your advise. But I would to know what you mean by having a pen house with the bangalow.

Secondly, the foundation has not been constructed yet. I am delaying it till I decide which side to go, bungalow or duplex.

Why dont you send me your plan drawings let me give you an estimate of your bungalow when Locotech convention is adopted to it.

A pent floor is like having a room above the normal rooms level.

It's a mini duplex... 4 bedroom down with the living room and 1 bedroom up
