@shogbenga cool down for jesus ok,i told you i cant argue ,but to balance the issue, if you can re-read my post u will see there is a specification in my words dont convince others ,this is not a generalization issue ,even some one can build with 3 million naira depends, i said again this is the game you will know who you are ,either strong or not,as a man u most face it ,but we need to enlight ourself in other to avoid mistake,coz some people still facing the problem of what they cannot complete this is due to the lack of knowledge in the field,enligthment is very important ,this not a matter of everybody forum learning or else,this is fact ,you just tell me the type of building you want and the quality of your condo,i will make the rough estimation so we can finalized it with budject assumption that is all

nobody is perfect that is why we have specialization

i wish you best of luck

Thanks for your comment, and i really appreciate. I was even thinking of 300 bags of cement, 4 tippers of plastering sand and 2 tippers of sharp sand. But now, you have given me an overview of how much it will cost me to get it done. If there is anything you need add or advise me about, please do let me know. Thank you so much brother.

If you want to build a house, get an Architect to make a design for you based on your needs/requirements and land size, It's Illegal and a copyright infringement to build using a plan prepared for another person. and from experience it is cheaper to design for your land than to amend one designed for another land

Hello Sigo 10,/ Ajileko,

Are you guys just saying for saying sake? I am almost completing my 3 bedroom bungalow in beach land by Irawo bus stop in lagos. From what I can remember, I have spent almost 8M and there is still paining to be done. The cost of the land is not even included. I bought the land in 2004 for about N2M. Did you forget fencing? Fencing and gating a 1.5 plots will cost you almost 800K if you mold the blocks and more than that if you buy blocks.

My advice is this - Do not wait till you save up 10M to start. Buy the land and fence it first! Go at a gradual pace.

That is cost base on Location, dont 4get it may cost 5M to finish that house in which you have spent 8M on.
take for Example KEN4 house (a sweet and cool 3bed all in suit bungalow), which he did for less than 5.5M in IMO STATE.

My own contribution to this thread is to advice people to take a generalized cost estimate with a pinch of salt. There are to many factors that can determine the overall cost of a building project and a lot of them are being overlooked here. Because when people talk about a 3 bedroom bungalow i hope they are talking of a habitable 3 bedroom bungalow.

These are some of the facts to consider in costing a livable 3 bedroom bungalow;

1. Cost of filling to make up level, if the site level is lower than the road level or sight is very sloppy.
2. Cost of foundation; especially if the site is waterlogged or on unstable soil (this can be considerable)
3. Cost of fencing and putting up a gate (this also depends on the stability of the site)
4. Cost of soakaway/septic tank and manholes
5. Cost of water supply system including borehole and overhead tank (this is varied depending on location)
6. Nearness and availability of building materials like sand, aggregate, iron rods, etc
7. Type and quality of finishes used ( this can vary widely, as ordinary taps can cost from N500 to N10,000 each, also electric cables can cost between N,2000 for china to N5,000 for Nigeria)
8. The cost of the design itself; The floor area, ceiling height, no. of toilets, wardrobes ( and believe me wardrobes can be expensive), etc

Kindly provide me with update on the above quoted prices.

I am building a 5 bedroom ensuite in GRA benin city.To be honest like many said do not wait till you have 10m+ to start the house.Just build as money lets you.
Not counting the cost of land the fencing has set me back 700k.The foundation about 1.3m.Its expensive to say the least to build a house in nigeria .So best build it graqdually and some day it will be finished.I plan to inject 3m a year into the house and hopefully it will be done in 3 years or so.

Hi guys,

@sigo10, who sells burnt brick for the price u quoted, do u have the contact details. How many pieces of burnt clay brick is needed to build a three bed bungalow house, what is the size of the clay brick, is quality good.
Thanks

"red burnt brick 260,naira per bundle and eleven pieces make a bundle"

I hope you have commenced the project by now.
If not kindly heed this advise and start with what you have e.g. N1.5m.
You can dimension the project into the various stages involved e.g. Foundation, German flooring, Block work to Lintel level and above, roofing, fixtures and fittings etc.
This will save you the BP of trying to work with the figures being provided above.
Good luck.

Hello

Please note that you can get all your red clay bricks / split tiles requirements from the Red Brick factory at Ibeshe Road, Ikorodu, Lagos State.

You can send your plans to us by email to ikorodu_bricks@yahoo.com

We shall then estimate the quantity and type of bricks to be used for each area.

That is very ambitious. I doubt 9m would be enough over 3 years to complete an up-to-scratch house.

Are THE bricks A CHEAPER OPTION?
i GUESS IT IS MEANT FOR JUST THOSE IN Lagos NOT PHC Benin ETC

Pls, NL kindly advise on these quote. It is for the foundation of a 2 units 3-bedroom bungalow on a very dry and flat land.


WORKMANSHIP

- Setting out = 10,000.00
- Digging = 48,000.00
- Concreting the Foundation
Footing = 45,000.00
- Block walling = 85,000.00
- Infill to hollow block= 15,000.00

Total 203,000.00
Running Around = 20,000.00
Total 223,000.00

What materials will be needed for the foundation work (quantity and approx. price)

Not only do these posts make for good reading, they're actually a good form for research!
