Sure 4m will give you 80% or 90% also It depend on your taste , don't be discourage and go to market and buy things u need, first get architect to give you 3bed design and five it to you engineer to give you the cost,

Go to ppl selling plumbing to give u quotation for 3bed all what you needed also same for electrical stuff,

With architecture drawing you will know what next and amount you will be needed

Thank you my brother ! Many Nigerians do this for just bragging right not according to environment! Why waste 4m on roofing ? At the end the roof will just be tall for nothing with some Gerard sheet! Well this design save cost even if he wants a roof type skillion roofing designs are cost effective nowadays you can find them on those real estate company buildings. We need to do things with economics in this country fornot everything is for bragging right ! Another thing is this parapet trend! It’s not a must you waste money to buy lot of woods just because you want to do parapet that adds not too much thing to the structural design ! But waste lot of money on wood forming for the parapet yet still fill it up with concrete people need to learn now !
I hate the tall roof trend in most new buildings in Nigerian cities. I wonder if the trend started in Abuja or Lagos. Where roofs are higher than the house itself.

Yea it will but might not finish the project. Let me show u on how to go about it. If u r building a 3 bed room flat, just tell the engineer to the forming and German floor for u. Then tell him that he will inspect it from German floor to roofing stage which should not be more than 3 or 5k per visit use local Manson for the block work they collect about 40 naira per block.
Block work to parapet = 1200000
Roofing use 4.5 mm for ur roof=1300000
Window and door -700000
Plastering/window hook=350000
Toilet firings =250000
Tiles go for China tiles=700000
Electrical work=250000
Celling =100000
Just budget 5m and ur work is done don't get discourage by comments u see here. Good luck.

Though this is a bigger project, however am not sure 4M can get you something attractive. Especially with the situation of the economy.
you let yourself made this project cost 7m! That roofing style could have been moderated ! Come on how many casement windows did you even do ? Bro please put your eyes in that project more !

And this house isn’t even a German floor how come 7m except for the roofing took a lot of money bro please put your eyes in that project no make people run you street times are hard

Na parapet, concrete pillars and plenty walls chop your money. OP should not attempt this style o. This style is not for someone on a budget. Congrats on the new house. Owning realestate is a big deal.

Edited

There is land available

In a small town in Delta

The soil is strong.

Please do not follow a lot of people here who don't know shit about construction apart from their sentiments or brain work. The truth is this, if you already have the land, #4m will go seriously far but will not finish it. That's the honest truth. This is what we do. It's better u start it at once and not wait till u have enough to finish it. Once u see the progress even an additional #100k once a while can make a huge difference.

The picture does not show the full structure of the house. There's still one big bedroom after that motorcycle. So, am not sure we could adjust the roofing style more.

I actually monitor the project, at least 80%

What kind of house? How many bedrooms? Let assume it's just a single 3bedrooms flat with normal standard rooms measurement of 12ft by 12fts and assuming you already have a land.

4M won't deliver a good portable standard apartment with all the normal fittings and finishing. The block work, roofing woods and sheets will almost swallow the whole of the 4M.

Yes it can build just one big room...then maybe you can use plywood to demarcate inside...don’t forget you won’t have fence...so it’s just rubbish....
But if you want my advice ...just rent an apartment with 1m....then invest the 3m....when you have as much as 10m-15m you can now build...

Rent a house with 1 million out of 4 million shocked

Even with the 4m he will finish it.

He should mold the blocks by himself with lesser ratio.

Hmmm...unless you will use ordinary zinc and without German floor
there is a trick a builder used when I was building a two bedroom bungalow in my farm,he did the tiles direct on the red mud filling without German floor and for 10 years now no shaking,I built the house with #650k in 2010.two bedroom, parlour, kitchen, toilet , bathroom and sitout,cost of building depends mostly on location and soil type,the foundation was just flatblock,no rod,no concrete casting, only used concrete on side pillars and lintel.

#100,000 wont do the ceiling, for a 2 bedroom flat, that would need 57 pieces of ceiling at #2800 per sheet. I did the calculation yesterday and I was like why? #4m wont do the finishing to a desired taste. This time 2016, I bought a sheet of ceiling for a friend at #1050, now it's #2800 per sheet. I'm considering POP but it's also expensive too. In 2016, I would do a nice 3 bedroom with #4m with good moderate finishing. #1.5m to roofing and #2 5 for plastering and finishing. Building materials are very expensive now.

My advice, start the project along the line money will come and you will finish it. But 4million to build a house (3 bedroom flat) in present day naija is next to impossible any where in naija.

It all depends on your taste.

One sure thing; the said amount can build a conservative 2/3bed bungalow to habitable standards, floor, wall and other finishes excluded.

By habitable standards, I mean you can have a simple roof system, entrance and exit security doors, windows(sliding ones maybe), basic toilet and kitchen fittings and a screeded floor, enough for you to inhabit till cash flow increases.
