netoc65:
the courtyard though... no need for it.
OP budget like #8,000,000 for the job + or minus #2,000,000 I concur.If anybody tells op that 5m will finish the building plan is a big lie even if you iae substandard materials and chaep labour.Four bedroom flats with two lounges and other ancillary structures.prepare above 8m |

sometimes I laff on how people rush to give quote on a half brief.
1.The type of land either water logged or dry is not specified
2.The taste of the Op's finishing is not stated
3.The duration he wants it done
4.The location is not stated
All these factors and more will determine the cost of the building. 4 Likes |

I think you are smart. You want to crosscheck the quotations those burgers handling ur project are given you. A piece of advice for you...You may need to go physically to markets and find out exact prices of every little things even up to nails. I am serious about this.
These burgers are cabals on their own. Their cartel is so strong that you may not notice any meaningful cost advantage even after comparing 10 to 15 different quotations. All I'm saying in a nutshell is do not rely absolutely on their quotations, they are very smart at swindling people. Ensure you bargain for 15% cut in whatever quotation you choose. 4 Likes 1 Share |

NwaAmaikpe:
This was certainly drawn by a quack draughtsman
Which architect still designs on tracing paper wih point pens and stencils when we have Archicad, Revit and AutoCAD 3D.
OP get that plan redesigned by a professional. Who still uses a void courtyard next to a kitchen in a bungalow just for lighting purposes?
The design is shabby, very shabby.
The toilets for the two rooms should be ensuite, Same as that for the guestroom...
The situation of the guestroom is also a no-no for me. It should not be accessed on the same lobby where the master's bedroom is accessed through. There is no privacy.
Only professionals can relate to my critique.
To your question on cost? No need building this trash. Get it redesigned. For once I agree with you. Perhaps the OP picked it up from somewhere. Even as a student of Architecture I know I can do better than that. |

saydfact: Let me give u a more detailed explanation at how I arrived at the 4-5m I gave u on my thread...
Considering the size and the standard.
Roofing = 1m plus using aluminum or almost using fibre Cement roofing sheet. Let's stick with 1m
Windows = at about 21-24k per window (casement) for 1200 by 1200 with other sizes being relative. Total Windows are about 18 nos with some bigger than 1.2by1.2 = abt 550k
Doors = let's use 25k per door, thou ur steel doors for external wld cost about 50-75k depending on choice and size, we have abt 15 doors that's about 400k
Total for doors and windows = abt 1m also (remember you'll need Cement, sand to fix all)
Tiles = just budget 500k if you want to tile all floors and toilet walls. Your choice can make it more or less.
Ceiling to rooms = asbestos cost 1.4k per sheet of 1.2by1.2. Your square area is approx = 250m2 this about 240k for materials only. Add workmanship, Trans etc I'll say 350k
Electrical and plumbing = visit an electrical shop and you'll appreciate Nigeria cable is gold... Just budget 750k for electrical and another 500k for plumbing
I HOPE WE'VE NOT EXCEEDED 5m?
Good, so far we're on 4m only... .
Think about this, Buglary, Painting, plastering (which can't be less than 300k materials inclusive),
Need I type more? - Sorry I have to stop - A client just sent me a whatsapp message.
So in summary you can't really spend less than 5m
Good luck.

NwaAmaikpe:
Which architect still designs on tracing paper wih point pens and stencils when we have Archicad, Revit and AutoCAD 3D.
Obviously many still do. Eventually they will fade out, but why insult an architect for not using the latest tools, so far as the tools convey the same information? NwaAmaikpe:
Who still uses a void courtyard next to a kitchen in a bungalow just for lighting purposes? The design is shabby, very shabby.
Don't you think it's a good idea? Lighting/ventilation/aesthetics... NwaAmaikpe:
The toilets for the two rooms should be ensuite, Same as that for the guestroom...
So you want to double the number of toilets? If you have kids, can't they share one bathroom? Or if somebody is cooking, you want them to enter the room first, and then bathroom? And what's wrong with guest (residing, and the ones visiting for the afternoon) using the same guest toilet? I also think the location of the guestroom is fine. Close to the palour. Personally, I would rather keep my guestroom away from my kids and the rest of the household. If privacy is an issue, it's a minor inconvenience as guests stay 2-5 days max. OP, never mind this harsh critique, it's a fine floorplan and uses money effectively. No need ensuiting everything like we see. You know how much each toilet adds to budget? If you can have some glass louvres (not casement) separating the courtyard from the hallway/lobby and from the dining room, it could bring fresh air and light into the house. Consider putting some potted plants there. As for cost, I would be surprised if you spent less than 9m on this building. For one, the estimates on door are too low... budget 50k-70k or more if you want doors that last. The simple truth is that you will spend 1.5x to 2x what you budget. There is also the danger that your tastes will expand to fill your budget and you'll still end up spending more money. I would advice finishing the 4 outer walls and roof as quickly as possible. Then plumbing and wiring. Then plaster and finish each room as you go. Even if it's only one toilet and two doors you can buy for now, it's OK. If you can move in before it's finished, you'll save rent where you are now, allowing you a greater chance of completing. Otherwise you'll find yourself in a situation I got into not too long ago: not enough money to finish, and not finished enough to move in. 11 Likes |

SPEEDEPITOME: Good afternoon people, please I need your help. I need an estimate of how much it will cost to finish a 4-bedroom flat already at lintels level on a moderate budget. The building has a lobby and a living room. I want to have an idea of how much it will cost to finish it, the money is not exactly available but if I have a rough estimate, then I can know where to start from and what to do with the little money on ground. Your ideas are needed on the type of doors to use - affordable ones please. Roofing sheets and ceiling materials. Experts here should please help me list the needed materials and the cost estimate. Thanks.

Op @speedepitome... how many ears u get? Don't let them deceive you with that 7mil shii they're quoting for you...
Ordinary Abeokuta here, about 7mil got my 3 bedroom bungalow to the level where I'm ready to paint...
Foundation and laying of blocks till lintel ...materials plus workmanship (1.4mil +/-)
Step tiles roof cost 1.2mil (materials and workmanship)
Carcas of roof alone cost 470 (materials and workmanship)
Pop for sitting room presit and veranda plus workmanship (150k +/-)
PVC for all rooms and passage plus workmanship (100k +/-)
All floors tiled and toiled wall tiles with cost of cement and workmanship. (650k +/-)
Conduit, Wiring and fittings plus workmanship (350k +/-)
Plumbing plus workmanship(300 +/-)
Window casement plus workmanship(500k +/-)
Burglary plus workmanship(200k +/-)
Plastering in and out .. materials plus workmanship (400k +/-)
Above is just a rough estimate but I have it all written down in my diary as I was spending and it's about 7mil at this point ...
Now if you wann build a standard bungalow for that your plan, pls budget 8.5 to 9mil to get it to the stage in the attached pic 5 Likes |
