Two bedroom bungalow will cost close to 13 million naira.

This is the most recent estimate. I share an office with a civil engineer.

And I am one myself. The man up there is obviously on a tight budget, hence he'll most likely settle for the basics and not necessarily ultra modern 😊.

This is too much unless he has a lot to throw around. Between 6 and 8 million will give him a suitable bungalow. Leave those civil engineers with their overpriced fees. It's the reason most of them don't get building jobs.

Alaye calm down, sey na story building him dey build ni? U dey mention pillar, basket. That kinda building wouldn't be more than 2m

ahahah even rent is 2million for a 3 bedroom in some places let alone build an entire house, long span roofing sheet for that house will be more than N1m

Budget 13-15mil for it

We don offend you before🤣. Some are actually just greedy that's all, they want to make more than what is necessary.

Your solar inverter for one room without fridge is how much?

[it depends on the quality of material u want to use because even 100m can be spend on this project depending on the quality]Considering the high cost of building materials today in Nigeria, how much should one budget for such project.

25million naira, because of cement increase

I am currently building a one room, parlor, kitchen and toilet house. So far I have I am done with laying the blocks and I have spent 350k all in all. I am estimating another 300k for the roofing which I plan for next month. My estimate for every every is 1million to 1.2million.

Like this, E sure say you never even do the foundation and probably gonna use less expensive roofing materials which isn't aluminium. And no tiles and good interior stuffs.

Why if i may ask?

Three bedroom and parlour is more functional. For example one for the master/mistress, second bedroom for boys and the third bedroom for girls. Male guest can stay in the boys room and female guest in the girls room.
Also, you can convert one room for guest if they visit.
Except if you intend to stay in that House briefly and plan to get a better one in future. The essence is for the kids.
At old age, you can choose to convert those rooms to what ever you want.
Spending millions for just two rooms is not cool. You can just sacrifice to make it three.

How did you know? Should 1M be okay with the first building, I'm down for it.

1m
Hmm if You no hold upto 3m just rest.

3 bedrooms is expensive oh. Moreover that's when 1 family member will always want to spend 2 months with you

[color=#006600][/color]

Its just for the kids having separate rooms. The difference is not much.

My brother I think this house is about 2 rooms and a parlor kitchen toilet and bathroom? Now my brake down
Block 2000*400= 800000
Cement for all works =8000*100=800000
Roofing 1300000
Rod 200000
Stone 120000
Tiles 400000
Plumbing 400000
Eletrical work surface 250000
Doors 250000
Windows 480000
Ceiling =200000
Workmanship for all 800000
And other little expenses like just budget about 6.5 to finish it. But remember this is just an estimate so don't get discouraged u can just start with whatever u have.

Without tiles , just a simple latrine, factoring in recent inflation , for 3 bedroom, 1 medium parlor, 1 kitchen, and small store , it should cost approximately 4 point something. The something is for misllaneous.

You did very well, but all that was stated there , multiple it by two and half, u didn't add filling of the foundation and a tipper of granite won't be enough. The cement u should increased it with additional 50bags , ceiling can't be done for the said amount

block 400, nigeria of yesterday........block now 700..... that house can not be less than 13m
doors,tiles and ceiling needs review

Chicagograduate:
Yes,in the village because no government agency will come and ask for permit and no omonile.
You can source for a direct labour.I supervised one for my bro.Na my hand cash dey.No contractor.
Avoid township and Lagos.4M or less.
Boys go mould blocks for you.Na you go buy all the materials.One iron bender won connive with a iron rod seller to inflate price but I was wiser than them.

For educational purpose: "How did you get to know that they wanted to inflate the price through connivance?"

6.5 - 9 million

It's a free world

Hire builder, if you like but if the building collapses, don't cry also

As for the 6 million issue, when you do it for a 2-bedroom bungalow, come back on nairaland and give us a breakdown of the costing.

Maybe your builder has better costing skills than an engineer of over 30 years experience .


Miracles do happen


N:b : The 13 million for 2-bedroom bungalow is not a township building , but for one in a village in Abia State.

Pls, tell this ignorant folks

Dem no wan hear

1st thing you need to consider, is the location where you want to purchase the land, are we talking about a full plot or half plot.

Taking the location and size of land factor out, to completely furnish a 3 bedroom to taste will cost you nothing less than 15million naira.

Highest you'll spend is 4m unless you wanna put taste or increase aesthetic.

It will cost you between 6M-8M, check my dm for the rough estimate.

Which one of the Architectural plan are you thinking of erecting

He had previously told my brother to send the money into his account for him to buy the rod.My brother refused and told me everything because my brother understood how they do in my village.If you give those village boys or cousins money to build a house for youthey will embezzle or do a poor job.Na kernel them go use in place of granite which will make the lintel fragile.So we went to the seller together.I was the one who asked for the price of a 10mm rod.The iron bender now interject and said 4k before the supplier could speak.Meanwhile,it was 3400.Luvkily,one of the female cashier who was inside and saw us discussing with one of the worker who also supply to site,ask us what we wanted.I went inside and told him and she told me the actual price which was 3400 per one.I bought 17 rods for a 3 bedroom with a dinning room.This was late 2022 before the price increase.That same rod is about 5k now.Building materials Is very expensive in the south South due to yahoo boys building houses everyday.
