Please I need your help,
How much will it cost to build a foundation for 2 bedroom flat times 3 bungalow
Not to spacious rooms.
All I need is estimate quotation of how much it will cost, not to expensive, just building for tenants
Thanks in advance

How can a foundation be quantified without building plan? Forget what you will get here without plan.

Even with plan, stating the cost of foundation is not easy. You will get an extimate.
Re: Cost Of laying a bungalow Foundation by sheunflexy(m): 1:10pm On Feb 24, 2015
Bro in as much as I repect peoples opinion,all the estimation giving to you are just rough estimation.1,before any estimatoin u have to know the total area of the structure.2,which state or area do you intend to errect the structure,materials varies with each state eg,30 tones of chipping in ph city cost #280k,am sure it can never be the same with lag,so all this have to be put into consideration first.

Beautifully detailed analysis.

Please kindly give an estimate of the following:

A 4 bedroom bungalow with:
1 master bedroom ensuite
1 madam bedroom ensuite
2 other rooms share a central toilet and bathroom
A spacious kitchen with a store

Thanks for your time sir

assuming the following:
depth of foundation 600mm ( 3 courses of 6" block)
assuming a toilet of 6' x 4' ( 1.8m x 1.2m) and two toilwt per flat
assuming a living room of 14'x14' (4.2 x 4.2m)
assuming a kitchen of 8' x 8' (2.4 x 2.4m)
assuming a dinning of 8' x 8' (2.4 x 2.4m)

setting out should cost like N30,000

perimeter each of the room 3 x 3.6m ( 10 x 12) = ( (2x3)+(2x3.6)) = 13.2m x 2 x 3 = 79.2m
perimeter of living room/ dining for the three flats = (4.2 x 4)+(2.4 x 4) = 26.4m x 3 =79.2m
perimeter of kitchen/toilets = (2.4 x 4 ) +((1.2x2) + (1.8x2)) x 2) = 13.92m = 41.76m
total perimeter of the house = 200.16m

allowing 15% for circulation and veranda = 1.15 x 200.16 = 230.184m

depth of foundation = 600mm (2')
rate of excavation N300/m = N69,000(can be lower depending on location of building)

foundation strip footing depth and width of footing = 100mm (4''), 450mm(18'')
volume of concrete = 0.1 x 0.45 x 230 = 10.35m3
cement required using mix ratio of 1:3:6 = 1/10x10.35x1506/50 = 47bags of cement @ N200 per bag = N94,000
sand required = 3/10 x 10.35 x 1.6 = 5 tonnes of sand @ N1,600/tonnes = N8,000
gravel required = 6/10 x 10.35 x2.4 = 15 tonnes @ N8,000/tonnes = N120,000
workmanship = N40,000

foundation block = 230 x 0.6 x 10 =1380blocks @ N120/block = N165,600
cement for molter = 25bags @ N2000/bags = N50,000
sand = 5 tonnes = N8,000
workmanship = N70,000

filling and compaction to DPC level: depending on site conditions

DPM = N8,000
DPC of 75mm thick = 185 x 0.075 = 13.875m3
cement = 40bags = N80,000
sand = 15 tonnes = N24,000

That all those surveyors OLD MEN pay are the only professionals?

And also, Seun has banned all the Professional surveyors that dare give out free services ? or better still SUCH PERSONS DONT EXIST?

Not detachable, surprised the rooms came out with 11 X 13 at least, living rooms 14 X 16 .. big kitchen, dual toilets,

suffice it to say, dinning rooms were absent to maximize other space for preference according to demand- (commercial) ... also the middle flat would have just one window ... but in all, its cost saving and met the very basic need...

You won't be the first to build luxury apartments for rent.
You sound like rented houses all have to be substandard. Nothing wrong with putting up apartments with the specs you've listed and charging accordingly.
Decent properties would attract people who would pay their rent on time.
