I just had a similar experience in lagos. For months I had been getting very expensive quotes from builders. Way beyond my pocket. I then went home, got myself an engineer, found some local tradesmen and started. I have saved a lot of money this way. |

Well I think you, someone people here don't really know anything about building a house or what it cost to own a house. While some people just look at a house or think about it get guess what the cost might be, but I tell you what if thats how you do then I don't think you will get the exact cost of the house. First and foremost, If you are building a house just know that you can't get the exact amount for the cost and the people building it for you won't know the exact amount that will cost to finish it. Because they will keep asking you for money and money everytime, and you will keep wanting them to design your house to a standard taste of time. Even you can spend more than 6-8 millions naira on just 3 bedroom house, cause you will keep wanting new things and for your house to still be still be ok for like 15- 20 years to come. My advice is this If you are willing to build a house, you must have a good income not exactly the amount you have at hand and that way you can keep on maintaining the yourself with the building. I wish everyone of us happy life and may Almighty God provide a good house for us. Luck guys |

the cost varies from location to location but a brake down for a 3 bedroom bungalow will look like this Foundation level. Note all price varies depending on location About 2000 pieces of block @100 =Naira200000 2 trips of stone for foundation casting @30000=Naira60000 5 trips of sand @10000=Naira40000 3 trips of stone for German floor @30000 =Naira90000 About 30 bags of cement for block work and another 50 bags for German flooring =80@1500 =120000 Planks, nails,red soil for filling of foundation =60000 ( This cost depending on the land topography but a trick is to dig the toilet reservoir(soakaway) and use the removed soil to fill the foundation, this reduces the amount of red soil you will buy.) Digging of foundation and cost of labor =200000 foundation alone Approximately:770000 Block work to roofing level: 4000 pieces of block @100 =400000 6 trips of sand for block work and linter casting @10000=Naira60000 3trips of stone for casting @30000=90000 Plank and other accessories for linter level casting =50000(depending on house design) 100 bags of cement @1500=150000 labor cost:280000 Total for block work:Naira1030000 Roofing work. Cost of wood for roofing:300000(depending on style) Cost of carpenters work:150000 cost of aluminum roofing:500000(depending on roofing style and choice of aluminium sheet) cost of mounting aluminum:50000 Roofing total:1000000 Door and Frames & Aluminum windows and burglary frames. 7000 per door and frame.(for 3bedroom assuming 10 doors)=70000 depending on window design and number(for 3 bedroom) =200000 Frame burglary proof @5000(assuming 10)50000 Total 320000 Plastering 100bags of cement@1500=150000 5trips of sand@12000=60000 cost of labor : 150000 Total 360000 Electrical and plumbing work According to taste:150000 Total150000 Fence a plot of land: 5000 pieces of block @100=500000 cement 100 bags for block work and plastering@1500=150000 gates 50000 (depending on taste) labor:150000 Total:850000 Tires,internal furnishing,painting,will also take some money from you. so totally between Naira4480000 and Naira5.5million to make the house habitable But believe me don't be afraid, i have done it purely from hard work,the beauty is that you can build it at your own pace,you must not have the whole money at once but build as the money comes in. mail me if you need more info 2 Likes 1 Share |

Re: Cost Of Building A House In Nigeria by calcal: 8:24am On Sep 15, 2009 |
Please use this method to calculate the quantity of block: B = p/46 * R, B - quantity of block; P - perimeter in cm; R - number of rows; 46 - lenght of 1 block naija standard in cm. e.g if u have a room of 550 x 550 cm, for the foundation calculate as follow: P = 550 + 550 +550 +550 = 2200 cm R = depend on land and other factors, take for example 4 rows as per standard now u have B = 2200/46 * 4 = 191 blocks - from foundation to win level 4 rows, from win to lint level 5 rows, after lint 2 rows try it! 3 Likes |
Re: Cost Of Building A House In Nigeria by ajileko: 6:03pm On Sep 15, 2009 |
Alternatively, you can do this: B = (P/L) * R which interpret to B = (866.141 inches/18) * 4 where B = # of Blocks P = Perimeter of the building: 866.141 inches (convert 2200cm to inches) L = Length of the block: 18 inches (convert 46cm to inches) R = # of layers or coaches (In this case 4) Always allow 5% for excess or waste just in case. |
Re: Cost Of Building A House In Nigeria by larez(m): 6:49pm On Sep 15, 2009 |
ajileko: So Blocks in Naija are 18 inches when International standards are 15-5/8 inches. Na everything original for Naija. By the way Ajileko, why didn't you come up with this before? Why are you always trying to supercede or override ideas that others come up with? Na wa for you oh. The guy just dey try help, he no come compete with you. That competitive spirit in you might just be a lil tard too strong. |

Re: Cost Of Building A House In Nigeria by calcal: 4:08am On Oct 05, 2009 |
Guys, this is what they don’t want you to know. HOW TO CALCULATE COST OF LABOR FOR BLOCK SETTING If the average cost of 9x9x18 block is 120 naira the cost of setting one block should be between 25 – 60 naira Setting 3000 blocks for a bungalow this should be: MIN 25 naira/block you have 25 x 3000 = 75000 naira; MAX 60 naira/block you have 60 x 3000 = 18000 naira. The above calculations will help to make better decision when negotiating. HOW TO CALCULATE QUANTITY OF CEMENT NEEDED FOR BLOCK SETTING - 2 bags of cement (50kg/bag) is good to mix 12 head pans of sand; - The above mixture is good to set 100 blocks. for 3000 blocks this what you need 2 bags of cement = 100 blocks C bags of cement = 3000 blocks C = (2 x 3000)/100 = 60 bags of cement only to set 3000 blocks. 1 Like |
Re: Cost Of Building A House In Nigeria by question(m): 4:01pm On Nov 30, 2009 |
calcal:How about calculating how many 6X9X18 blocks of standard strength can be molded from 1 bag of cement , and how many head pans is required? Same question for 9X9X18 blocks of standard strength. |

@ajileko or any other person. Can someone tell me, if we have architects in 9ja who can draw or builders who can build the type of buildings we find in USA, florida to be precise.? Can someone estimte cost of a 4bedroom all ensuite with indoor swimming pool bongalow, all with red burnt bricks ? |
Re: Cost Of Building A House In Nigeria by ono(m): 6:58pm On Dec 13, 2009 |
I'll be glad to see photographs of different building styles here - including bungalows, duplexes, storey buildings of different types, sizes and shapes. . . . . . . . . . I just might pick something interesting from here for my own house. |
Re: Cost Of Building A House In Nigeria by larez(m): 8:48pm On Dec 16, 2009 |
heilige: I sure hope all Architects in Naija can draw. Hmm, It will be interesting to meet one who can't draw. In anycase, it might be a little better if we encourage the Brethren rather than put them down. Please tell me where you can find the burnt clay roof tiles that you mentioned. I'd be interested in being able to get them. Are you trying to do a Spanish Hiacenda or a Mediterranean style? I'll warn you, It will be costly. Goodluck |
Re: Cost Of Building A House In Nigeria by heilige(m): 8:55am On Dec 17, 2009 |
@Larez. I am not trying to put our architects down. I was only asking a question. For the red bricks see this link below. I alsoo think u can get it @ Oregun. I guess the cost will not be more that 10mil, cost i have seen some expensive bungalows that are still ugly. https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria?topic=352945.msg5028225#msg5028225 |
