Thank you my brother. some of these guys just pick figures from the air.

I recently just finished renovating a three bedroom flat. I think with under 10m you will be able to finish 100%.

However, you must be there to supervise. one of our greatest problems with hired labour is SINCERITY!

once you are physically present to supervise the purchase of materials and their utilization you will cut cost of close to 40%! my personal experience.

Good luck!

When you start you will know..However not to cost too much.I mean unnecessary cost..Get a good Bricklayer that you know of,he will give you the cost and total of materials to use..Then you go buy the materials yourself..This is something you can do yourself and no reason to give it to any so called contractor that will only inflate building Prices for you..

That was how I did mine..Bought everything myself,after I discovered the contractor I gave it to from the word go charged me times two for the foundation of a 3bedroom ensuite..However Dad was around to help.me.do supervision while building was on..If you will be around,it.is something you can do yourself.No big deal

Best of Luck

This your budget... I presume it's for mud house?

As an estate management student I put to you that a rough estimate for 4 bed room all ensuite might cost you around 5-8M

Now this depends on ur taste.
Taste begins from roofing to floor and wall finishings

SEOManiac:


Seriously, see people shouting 15m and 20m, and I'm surprised.

Something of 5m... If it goes past 5, then obviously, the OP is furnishing with top choice materials.

My friend just moved in 6 bedrooms duplex last month. Total cost 19m, out of which land was 4.5m and roofing was 4m.

He also interlocked the compound, and built a security house, all in the said 19m. I was completely involved in the whole process. Even lighting and chandeliers were up to 1m.

How much then can a 4bd bungalow cost? With moderate finishing?

And you sure you want to graduate if you are still a student with this quotation?

I am surprised to some people outrageous estimate. I am in Edo state. I started a building of 3 bedroom which have gulp me 1.6m to lintel level without money used in buying land. I know all tins being equal 5m-9m depending on ur taest as some reasonable guys said here you will park into your house. Start your building my brother, don't reason these contractors who will overestimate for u to estort u. For me I know my pocket will not demand me to use high class material with 5m I will soon be in my krep.

Hi everybody!
Due to the current economic situation in the country, please I need a rough estimate of the cost of a 4 bedroom bungalow all ensuite in Benin City, Edo state. The land is already available. Please I look forward to your contribution. Thank you very much.

SEOManiac:
Choice is everything...

It can take from 5 - 10m...

Depends on the materials you choose

Also depends on if you'll be supervising the laborers, or hiring a contractor who will give you deadly estimates and make you regret planning to build a house

SEOManiac:


Tell us, what was your total expense. Under or over 5m?
And did you furnish with top choice? Or everything moderate?

What i am referring to in the above post of mine was from Foundation to Lintel Level..

For Foundation i spent like 600K or thereabout as i had to buy some 200Blocks more when building wanted to start to make some correction..Building up to lintel level was about 1Million with workmanship and thereabout..Also did Filling,Bought about 7-8Traillers as about 17K per one..

Spent 650K or thereabout for Lintel,Am not sure about this..I decided to do Paraphet,I guess you know what that is..I dont know how to explain what paraphet is,but it is done after Lintel has being done..However this is Optional and it isnt compulsory..

Paraphet went for 400K approximately..Its beautiful as it saves the house roof from being blown away during cases of severe storm or wind..

That is the above rough estimate that costs to Lintel level.Think so far i did not spend up to 3Million for building up to roofing level..The above estimates depends on your choice.

The estimate above is for a 3Bedroom ensuite..

Hope i have being able to answer your question

You're wrong!

You never build before.. Who nor build nor know

I spent close to 500k for 3 bedroom foundation alone in ogun state not far from agbara, materials and workmanship. I don't know if i was cheated cos i did not supervise the job due to the nature of my job.

it is the character of people here to quote outrageous figures and that is why people no longer take them serious. A nairalander told me he built his for 5.8M in same Benin that these people are qouting their own building share. I even have a copy of the whole cost which was sent to me. It is pathetic that they just want to destroy people's dream and hope for owning their own houses...

At first I even began to doubt what I knew was true. The characters​ of nairaland contractors is really unbelievable.

They scared me off my house project until my wife told me we should go on and even arrange just the parlour, kitchen and one bedroom.

Fortunately, I supervised the whole thing and realized that in construction, every million can achieve a lot.

I finished everything and wished I had aimed for the duplex of my dreams.

I changed laborers continuously until they realized I wasn't joking and got serious with work. No gist, no arguing politics. Just work, get paid, go home.

Nobody should be discouraged by nairaland contractors.

SEOManiac:


Did you raise the house?
Did you fill and raise the level after foundation?
Asides that, 300k would have been enough. Foundation for 400k is usually for 1 storey building.
