Building seems better. U will build what u want with quality u want. But in some instance where u will will just buy an apartment among others, it might be a little cheaper.

Different strokes for different individuals. If money isn't a problem, buying a house is always better.

Imagine the stress, the inevitable horrors likely to happen in the course of building from scratch.

For me, I always buy my houses. All I care for is a minimalistic interior and I'm contented.

I think the problem with buying houses in Nigeria is that you're not sure of the quality of materials used in building them.
Apart from money,this is another reason why most people prefer to build from scratch.

I take pleasure in building. All my houses are built from the scratch. Buy it requires close monitoring. Building materials are very expensive now to play with.

If you are available, I think building from scratch is the best option. It means you can customize your house to your taste. I like some security features in the house like a bunker, a good anti-fire system which I don't see in many already built house. Building from scratch also helps to monitor the quality of materials being used. If you are not available, maybe not living in Nigeria, buying is the best option.

Building from scratch saves you money and you are assured of quality, but buying a building costs you more money but saves you contractors/artisans hassles which can cost you more money and cause you severe headaches and pains angry.

But if you have got the balls or for women the womb grin build from scratch for quality and taste assurance.
My take!

Depends on the area. Inner city it can be the same because of all the permits and delays with agencies you go through.

In rural areas it is better to build. You can take your time, stockpiling materials and as has been said build to your specifications.

If money is not the problem, buy a house. It is cheaper.
When you calculate the stress involved in building and quantify it, you will understand

Building from scratch is not only cheaper you will also be able to ascertain the quality of the materials used during construction. I have seen a situation whereby a stone dust was used as a coarse aggregate in concrete for foundation footing and lintel because it was cheaper compared to 1" of gravel.
