#500,000 to #650,000 will be ok.
Before the lockdown, I built 3 1-Room self contained for #1,650,000 in a village here in Abuja including the cost of land.

To build a self contained apartment 30m? Na die be that now

jayworld15:
Excluding the land ownership, pls just have between 5million to 300million. To build house now isn’t an easy thing. House building has many factors attached to it.
1) site location- the amount you’ll use in building a house around Surulere in Lagos wont be the same with the one in Oke-Bola in Ibadan or Choba in Rivers State.

2) Land terrain- If your terrain is water logged, be prepared to spend a lot of money for foundation. And by the way, you can even spend from 300k to 1M for borehole water drilling and installation.

3) Cost of materials- what kind of materials do you intend to use.

4) Design-both interior and exterior

5) Area- How secured, porous, motorable, etc is it
And many more.
Don’t mind those telling you 700-1.5m. Only if you want to erect a muddy house.

A room self con apartment with wc, shower, kitchen cabinet, warddrope, tiling of the room, kitchen and toilet will cost you about a million naira. Building a self con with such standard now will cost you even more due to the shitty current value of naira.

Is this inclusive of the cost of the land too?

Yes, for real, It can be done for even 800k to 1m if you don't mind living a bit rough for a while. Of course not counting the cost of land and fencing it. For instance one could delay a bit on the ceiling and use surface wiring, scaffolding for the water tank, doors within the house, floor and wall tiles. Would give you a very basic no frills house but with 80k to 100k a month all those would be completed within 4-8 months. Wish most could think like this and hence forth not pass a month without adding more to the house within a year it would become a worthy home. Have seen people start with trampolin sheets for windows and no plumbing and eventually turn the house to a lovely edifice. However a regular income and prudence is key.

Excluding landscape and the land itself and when it was built that house should not be less than 4-5m if it is not more than 3yrs old...so add it to the worth of the land at that location will give him the totally amount for the property for sale.

He said “what is the cost of building...” not if a specific amount would be enough. By the way, you can see it’s a range not specifically 300m. Read before quoting.
I'm not getting your reply wrong, giving a ranges of 5m - 300m for just a room self contain is extremely ridiculous

Re: What's The Cost Of Building A Self Contained Apartment Now? by Nobody: 10:45pm On May 08, 2020
Depending on your location though
For a standard room u need approximately 400blocks

Pegging and foundation’s with casting : #50,000

400 * 150 = 60,000
Make provisions for extra 400 for kitchen and toilet
400 * 150 = 60,000
Blocks = #120,000

One bag of cement will set 100 blocks

Approximately u need 8 bags for setting

Budget 4 bags for lintel

Total cement need at this stage 12bags * 2550 = #30,600

Labour : Bricklayer @ 4K per day and 2k per day.
To maximize the bricklayers and labor: hire 3bricklayers and 2labor

Iron rod 12mm for lintel: budget- 8k

Roofing depending on your choice: 100k

Plastering: in and out : budget- 80k

Sharp sand (15ton): 45k
Soft sand: 32k
Filling sand: 20k
Tiles/ plumbing/ Electrical/painting : 80k
Miscellaneous: 100k

Total: 600k -800k (This is just rough estimate only)

Chat me up if u need capable hand to handle the project

I did not mention 3 bedroom flat. And the location is somewhere in Adewole.

It's either your friend wasn't sincere with you, or he used the least inferior materials. Cement is 2600-2700 depending on location 100 bags is 260000 already. Gravel and sand nko? Plumbing? Roofing and set of furniture with 1.4. Not visible
I won’t argue anyways. You can chose not to believe
