Cost Of Building A Twin Duplex

With a good finish i will say between 15 to 18 million.it cost 15million just to finish a four bedroom in lekki with good finish.

@poster,
 i think you are not ready to build anything, what makes you think this is where you will find the right people to analyse the cost of everything/from water to cement and to labourers, i suggest you look for the appropriate people. go to their offices and by the tim you visit 3 or 4 offices, you will know the approximate cost, stop wasting uour time here asking for what you wont get,

my advice anyway,  budget 200 million naira, if you have change then minus the change from the original capital.
THAT WILL BE THE COST

@Zubby77,
this is a forum for rubbing minds and exchanging ideas,not necessarily exact,nairaland did help ME resolve some serious problems before NOW(REMEMBER MONEY TRANSFER PROBLEMS?)OGA SEUN THANK SO MUCH OOOOOOOOO,someone somewhere is doing same thing am about to start,i don't think is bad idea asking for some ways out,any problems or dirty tricks some of these builders/contractors plays atleast someone warned you,mr zubby if you have anything no matter how small or big tell me and others will all learn from that and God will bless you as you  Q E D

From my experience,There are so many things to consider,such as type of soil etc, as I said from my experience it will take not less than 45M, because I am building one duplex of 5 bed room with two room self contain on each side in festac area and I know how much I have put in, only God knows how much that will finish it, because cost of construction materials are not steady.

if you need a contractor with good budget proposal, i can get you one who works with a construction company in lagos. the price is very moderate and the man is an experienced construction engineer. so if you want a deal, just mail me on kingfemi@yahoo.com
i promise you will get the best of estimate.

@ mdceo

I can help you out as i am an Architect. Your question is very vague as the cost of building and finishing any buildings depends on a number of factors.

The Design:
The total area (square meters) of your spaces has a lot of bearing on the cost of a building. The larger the spaces the more expensive.

The Finishes:
The Quality of your finishes aslo goes a long way into determining the total cost of your building. Finishes such as P.O.P for ceiling and granite or marble tiles for floor can be quite expensive. Also good doors, wardrobes, kitchens cabinets and other woodworks are very costly.
The Consultants
Cost of consultants such as Architects, Structural Engineers and Contractors can vary significantly, thereby contributing to the final cost of the project. The most important one is the contractor, a good honest contractor can save you money but a disohest one can make life and cost unbearable to you.

Sundry costs
Costs such as landscaping, Generator house, borehole, paving stones, fencing and gate, garage, external/security lighting and septic tank and soakaway pit are often overlooked but has significant bearing to the cost of a house

So it is impossible to put a cost to your building without  determining the above factors. Your duplex can be built with 10 million naira and it could also be built with 150 million if you want designer kitchens, Jacuzzi, bullet proof doors etc.

Now you can contact me at my email wirinet@yahoo.com and we can discuss specifics. At least you can get my quote free of charge, if only for reference purpose.

I don't know anything about houses and all but I can recommend you to my uncle who is a well known architect  In Nigeria. He is really good, Infact, he is building a house 4 ma parents in da villa now with excately your discription only that ours is 6 bedroom, Holla if you need his info.

 @ All

Don't be wrting your emails in the conventional format.

For your security,something like lagbaja (at) yahoo dot com will suffice.

@rasputinn,this land is so hard that you ve to wet the ground over night before you can dig the following day,its very strong land and all I want is some kind of cost effective yet not too cheap a house that can be hired for good money

I built my 3 bedroom flat in Ife including fence and tall gate(Apart from Land purchase) for 8.5 million Naira. Duplex in Magodo, Lag should cost u nothing less than 50mil beyond including good finishing.

Hello MDCEO i advice you go consult qualified and experienced surveyors,builders or architects in this field.
Every contribution here on Nairland would only  confuse u the more, they are all assuming.
