The actual price cannot really be determined until u get to Town planning authority's office.
They calculate based on some Factors which include the number of bedrooms, number of floors(storey building)

Good day friends, here is a 3 bedroom flat and 2 room and parlour self contained foundation as shown in the picture.
Filling is on going presently, next after that is the setting of the blocks to the final level.
My enquires are;
How many blocks will it required?
How many bag of cement and cost of sand (mind you, there will be 15 pillars)?
Can it later be floored after block setting, mind you, am using 9 inches block all through?


At some responses, some are asking for building plan/sketch or design but the fact is I only bought that property like that tru my uncle. It's an half plot of land, 30 by 100 with 3 bedroom and 2 unit of room and parlour self contained foundation with each rooms with its toilets and bathrooms, no dining room. The former owner almost used up all d land. The left over at the left and sides wil not b more than 3-4ft and 4-5ft respectively and the back side 3-4ft too.
A good hearted one could further assist me please.


Thanks in anticipation.

It is better you do oversite concrete that people call German floor.


Do you have the drawings? Or can you get a sketch?

I can give you the material estimate

fill up the foundation and compact very well, Try to do the over site concrete (German floor) with minimum thickness of 100 to 150 mm,

then you can continue with your block setting.

as for the quantity of materials needed, you need to put up the plan for the building.

pls do ur German floor ooo

good luck

It is better to get things done properly now that you are still in this stage....

Doing your German floor now will save you from lot of headache later

From experience here are some advantages we have noticed German flooring have over normal flooring

1) German floor is also part of the foundation, it should be seen as a structural elements that makes your house to stand. Loads transmitted from the building is recieved by the German floor before transferring to the foundation

2)German floor stops the upward movements of water from the soil into your building. I am sure you wouldn't want your walls to be damp or see algae grow on it.

Lastly, oversite concrete can Serve as a breaking point when there is a non major crack to the wall, it prevents this crackline from getting to the foundation.

About the cost estimate, you will have to provide the plan as that will serve as basis for the estimation

Nothing can replace anything that is properly done, however if your soil is relatively stable and not prone to water problems, you can go ahead and compact it well, if possible place hardcores, then floor

8 single room(Sr) (with 4 toilets(Tb) (erroneously inserted it twice. D idea is for 2 rooms to share 1 toilet.

Then 6 selfcon single room too.

Attached is rough scetch I made


A rough estimate of 5.5m to 6m will go a long way depending on your choice of finishings.

if you need proper estimate, then get an Architect to give a proper design.

Foundation #60k, Iwe-ebi #150k, Crops/grass #40k, Security #60k, decking #150k, Roofing #60k, Akowe/Youth #50k, Fencing #70k. This is coming after you might have paid for the land.
