@Larez and any Architect in the house.

i need a 4 bedroom exclusive bungalow design with an indoor swimming pool on a 18x36m plot. i intend to use all the space at the back of the building, for green grass, garden, 1 room self contain for worker's quarter. minimus of 2m space on the left and right side of building.
1 big master with walk in closet and sitting area.
3 bedrooms ensuite.
1 sitting room and family room facing the back.
1 storage room and power control room
laundry, kitchen(island)

Burnt bricks all through. Front space should have enough space for aboki and 2 cars. Aluminium roofing should be able hold solar panels. The roofing will be surrounded with aluminium sheets.
All cables and pipes should not be seen.

Let me give you some guides here for free, (18MX36M)-(Side setback and Front and rear setback)= for a Bungalow with 4 Bedrooms? and to make it worse, an indoor pool too? Man, you gotta be kidding. Meanwhile, sorry I don't design for everybody. My clientelle is strictly exclusive, lol

I recently bought a 3 bedroom bungalow at diamond estate in lagos from diya fatimilehin . ( please check the website www.diya-fatimilehin.com) for 6.6M. 6.3M
and 300k for charges to diya. I visited the country a few months ago and checked the estate out, the bungalows weren't particularly great but I can't just be bothered to go through all the hassles of land acquisition and building houses. I figure out I would still need to spend 1.5 to 2 M to get the bungalow into shape.
The property is intended for investment purposes (appreciation in cost and rent), infact a recent enquiry from Diya Fatimilehin's staff revealed the current selling price as 8.8M.
I intend to buy a few of these flats/bungalows over the course of my workinglife, (maybe 10-15 of such flats/bungalows) as retirement investments. IA(I'm in my early 30s)
I just want to sample the opinion of the experience ones.

Would you rather buy flats/bungalows as against building from scratch with all the hassles (I do not reside in Nigeria) ?.
Some of my friends seem to believe that the bungalow was rather pricey and I could have gotten a much better deal building it.

Meanwhile, sorry I don't design for everybody. My clientelle is strictly exclusive, lol

Happy New year Gom,
It is a very good idea to build in Nigeria, Like someone adviced you not to look at the total cost of the project before embarking on, it may sound unwise but looking at the constant changes in the price of building materials and cost of labor.
I am a builder, I will need more details fro you to give you list of materials, cost af material and labor.
The type of soil, the stage of development and the area of your land will affect the type of foundation and the cost of building the foundation.
I came back to the States days ago from Nigeria, one of the residentail building project I am handling, the estimate for the foundation and brick work for a 3 bedroom bungalow was (N1,372,100 / 150 = $9 147) for material and labor. I can explain more if you want.
You can email me on eziudo@live.com.
Good luck

Questions for you -

a) What are the sizes of these plots
b) do they come with C of O
c) are they secure enough to be left fallow till next year, as i am currently investing outside Nigeria untill next year, though I do want to tie some funds down on land till I am ready to build or re-sell ??

hellow, are u there, i'm architect, festus bamidele ayodeji my office is at ikorodu local government lagos state , the cost of building a three bedroom has estimated below, construction is a gradual process and if u look at the cost u might not likely to be interested in construction, but make it stages such as
foundation to dpc level cost u up to 1.1m, by my quote it include materials and workmanship. i have read through what the last person suggested. don't dispose the land, if the land is free from govenment acquision and free from omonile trouble.that area properties appriciated at faster rate, because it a prime area they enjoy mor infrastural facility and the set of people there are also elite and educated, infact the area is ok for u.if u can gave us as contract to handle it to dpc level at 1.1m it include the ground beam, wilder , capintal, block700 pieces of block,brickyer cement, planks, but you will only provide granite.

Pls i will appreciate your advice and i love to av an idea about the cost price for 3 bedroom flat situated in Lateef Jakunde Housing Estate,Adeniji Adele Road,Lagos Island. Thanks and God BLS.

@okemm, I can design and build for u.
I'll advice the 3 bdm bungallow should be left untampered with especially if it can be rented out. U won't really be able to compensate for d comparative difference in rent rate s for these two areas.
