Good day House
Please what’s the minimum amount one can budget on a 3 bedroom bungalow with a nice finishing

ion know much about building as this is my first time and my budget is around 12m for building. ion wanna spend much on building that’s why I’m tryna stay low.

3 bedroom
Laundry
Study room
With nice interior inclusive.
if there’s any other thing that’ll be added kindly lmk also.

The amount will be enough with change sef if you monitor the workers from beginning to end . Else they will steal all your materials.

Also do not take quotation from only one source ,make enquiries from multiple source for the best materials and prices.
Don't trust anyone on your site. .

Good luck.

Dear Op, 12m will do a great job if the money is Chanel to the jobs needed to be done by the people in charge. Trust me, most of the excessive funds spent on building project goes to the pocket of someone else and not to the job that needed to be done. My advice, speak directly with whoever is doing any job(Bricklayer, tiler, pop installer, plumber etc) and contact more than one person for a particular job, sample their previous job and don't compromise on quality.

For your metal works (handrails plasma or wrought iron, burglary, iron/wooden security doors, gates, car ports, water station etc) plug kindly link up we are at your service.... Cheers

I agree with you, and I love your response. It happens to me all the time, especially by people who lack the skills to even do what I do.

When I sit them down and tell them what's involved, most of them can't even operate their Nokia touch, so they often lose interest immediately.

When I add another car to my garage, their interest to know what I do and how I make money spikes again.

I did wonders this xmas, and relations began snooping around, making enquires of what I do for a living. To them, I can't be making these from my acclaimed businesses.

People?

You go fear nah!

When Nigerians see you doing better than dem and you no dey struggle like dem, they start snooping around and if it's someone close to you, they start pressuring you to teach dem too even tho they don't have what it takes.

All their desire to start doing what you're doing is fueled by one thing, Greed!

Yes. Depending on these factors

OP, you've been given series of advice to guide you by fellow nairalanders.

bayo2018:

So you mean 12m won’t finish the building with a good interior right .?

12milion is enough for a 3/4 bedroom bungalow! from start to the finishings! talking from experience

See why Nigerians spend a lot in building? number one there is roofing. I wonder why some people do roofing even above the specified degrees of the height as if they want the house to touch heaven. I asked one stewpid civil engineer, he told me it's called SEND DOWN THE RAIN , why not just get a good and simple design and make the roof like 25 degrees, then that alone you can save your money instead of spending on high lengths of wood, Gables, and others then use the others to do the interiors like plumbing, electrical, borehole, just get a good designer or you contact us below

bayo2018:

So you mean 12m won’t finish the building with a good interior right .?

12milion is enough for a 3/4 bedroom bungalow! from start to the finishings! talking from several years of building construction experience

What are people even saying? 12m for an estate or just 3bed room? 2-3 m is ok for u. Am taking from experience. For normal and regular house.

bayo2018:

Bros, Ikorodu is fast developing. Build your house where you want. You'd be surprise how much that land would be sold in 2-5 years time.

Concerning the duplex and bungalow. Please build what you can finish with ease. Don't be stuck in the middle ooo...lol. Success.

Yes! You can get a good bungalow for 12 million naira. In fact you can use only masonry to save cost down to 8-10m

What is the type of masonry you're talking about?
And is it durable, strong and long lasting?

N12m will do just fine.

bayo2018:

My mom isn’t experienced at all in that aspect oo lols

Someone I know incurred an extra cost to the tune of about 25 percent of the entire project cost because he left the project at the mercy of someone else. What is worth doing should be done well. I think you should either hire a professional (who you are sure won't pad budget to swindle you) or handle it yourself.

Mayour11:

yeah. Just tell your engineer you want to masonry structure. It is cheaper; if he can get you a strength of 2.8N/mm2

ibisomi:


Yes o.
Let me share my experience with you.
I live in the north. In 2009 I got a plot of land in a local place for 500k. Although, it shouldn't have been more than 350k but the agent outsmarted me.

It was a local area. I started building in 2010 and moved in December 2011 without finishing everything. I moved based on the popular belief, you can use your next rent to do much work in your building or if you don't move, you won't be motivated to finish the project. I don't believe this again. Talk for another day.

The challenge:
1. My building is not the best in the area but people one way or the other will know that your income is at least steady if not increasing. As such, I get people knocking on the gate everytime seeking for one help or the other. You can't turn them down as it may expose you to other risk whereas my friends living in GRAs and choice locations found it strange.

2. Having a great or outstanding building in a local area is a security challenge. I have not been spared of theft incidences.

3. If you want to dispose the building in the future, those who can afford it may not want the locality and also, it won't appreciate much. The same year I built my house, a close boss bought a land for 7m in a choice location and built it. The land in the same location without building worth not less than 20m today whereas my locality has been static in appreciation. No thanks also to the security challenge in the north.

4. It is better you live in locality in the minimum with people with similar financial capacity or better still, people you can look up to financially. You will be motivated and you will develop good network of relationship that can better your lot.

5. The financial stress of the locality will rest on few of you most especially in a situation where government is not taking responsibility. For instance, in my area, the locals have refused to pay for security, they believe they have little or nothing to lose. Ditto with infrastructural development.

As regards your mummy supervising the project, that has been dealt with. Don't allow it since she is not experienced in building.

My advice.

This happens to be the best piece I have read so far. Thank you for the wonderful submission. God bless you for this!
