please house, how much will it cost to build a three bedroom flat in a 100x50 expanse of land in Benin city?

Ceoking6:
Shouldn't be more than 5m, aluminum/roofing 2m, brickwork 1m, everything would enter 2m.


Las Las 5m

Fedraino:
It will cost you the whopping sum of 4,500000...

Analyst01:
The first step is usually to avail yourself a detailed set of drawings(architectural, structural etc) then estimates can be arrived at based on that.

Furthermore, the architectural drawing can also provide information to price the fencing/gate, pavement/landscaping, stand-alone waste treatment facility (Septic-Tank & Soak-away), water tower (optional).

Often, we tend to neglect the above when considering building costs.

If you already have your building plan, I'll provide you with a detailed coat estimate for 10k.

Many things are involved.
First you don buy land? If not, you will buy that same land twice.
Don't forget LGA chairman and boys will collect like 230k. No how no how.

Just budget like this in stages:
Fencing+Gate - 1M
Foundation - 1M
Raising to lintel - 1M
Roofing + parapet - 1M
Plastering - 1M
Plumbing and Electric (tank, stand, borehole, soakaway, etc) - 2M
Finishing (POP/screeding/tiling) - 1M
Accessories (lights,switches,taps,drains,cabinets,doors,windows) - 2M

People will yab me that this is not realistic, but just know this is approximately what you will need at each stage.
If you spent less on foundation, use that to add to plastering (and so on).

At the end of the day this will be more or less what you spend: 10M
If you wait till next April, cement will cost more. If you finish foundation today, but don't get to roofing for 9 months, it will cost more. So just start today, and keep going as money reaches.

Very true. I got an engineer who gave me an estimated #15m to complete it. By and large, my husband and I thought he was just being very unreasonable only for us to give a Qty surveyor to give us an estimate. He came up with #12.8m and we were so elated that at least we go get change on the #15m.

So we mapped out #15m for the project and gave to another Engr to handle. We have exhausted that #15m and the project is still far from being completed. Screeding, Tiling, Electrical and Plumbing Fixtures, Painting, still outstanding and those will take the bulk of the expenses as you have to finish to taste too.

After all said and done, we discovered that the engr we hired for less, lacks experience and was hardly available, so for almost everything done in the site, we had to correct and pay for labor again. Moreover, the site manager and the engineer were conniving with the suppliers and laborers to rip us off.

It taught us a lot of lessons.
1) Always supervise your work yourself even with a professional engr on the site
2) Buy your materials yourself. That way, you pay less and still get the best
3) Always insist on what you want done

That way you might spend between #14-16m and get a standard 3 bedroom.

1m for plastering is over-exagerated

You're right... it's just how I like to budget for each stage, then I can be pleasantly surprised.
One should still have a good idea of what things will cost (talk to people, and read the invaluable Properties section), but I like to break down in 1M increments for major stages in my experience.

tonididdy:

Ok 300 to 400 is achievable too.
Also your 1m for screening, pop and tiles is under - estimated.

Again, major stages I budget 1M. Savings from plastering will go to screeding and pop.

Mixedfruit:
Less than 5m
