thanks Aventures, but y is it so expensive to build 4flat? secondly do you av any idea of how much they rent 3br flat insuit in ikorodu?

JesusloveU:

Depending on where you are building your house.I used 2.6 million naira to finish first flour in the village,including decking and contractor fee.

JesusloveU:

Adventures

I am realistic here.The house is 2 store-building,i used 2.6 million for the down flour,4 rooms,1 paulor,1 dinning room,1 toilet,1 bathroom 1 kitchen and with decking.

Aventures:

@ Jesus loves me (LoL) thank u for taking my response with a high level of maturity. Others cuould have flared up that i am doubting thrie statement. I believe that we are all here to exchange ideas and infos. From your response i can deduced that the bldg u re talking abt is not a block of four flat (if i am wrong pls correct me) i think it is a block of two flats (one down one up) and also such bldg may not have a german floor, a shallow fdn (village soil condition might be a very firm one) there could be a very cheap labor but poor workmanship output, then if i am right then i will quite agree wt cost u mentioned.

hello, pls can anybody give me an idea of how much it will cost to build a four flat of 3br, each flat insuit. the location is ikorodu. thanks.

ceasyc:

jeez dats cheap! i was gonna tell him to hook me up. cos according 2 my cuz who is building hers, she said a 4 flat house (2 flat upstairs n 2 flat down): d bottom one alone + lintel minus decking cost over 2million naira. she doesnt want to deck it no more cos its bcuming 2 expensive 4 her to build. thats y i asked d question above: how much to roof it? any ideas any1?

9ijaMan:

@ceasyc
I do not know where your cuz is building hers, but I can confirm she's fairing well based on my experience. I'm currently working on my second project and it's cost me roughly 6.1M (excluding cost of land) from foundation to deck. Currently almost at the lintel of the top floor.
The fact is that the cost of labour across the country is almost constant in the large cities.
A break down of my costs include:
Clearing and prep work: ~ 500k
Foundation including german floor: ~ 1.6M
Ground floor Block including lintel and columns: ~ 1.3M
Deck materials and labour: ~ 2.7M
(total surface area of the deck is approx. 40ft by 100 ft i.e. 4000 sqft)

As stated above, this is my second attempt and the current figures are close to the costs on the first project (despite a 2 years lull in between) and hence I'm able to track my costs and project ahead for the next stage of the project.
