This breakdown is helpful, but one thing I’ve noticed from actual projects is that 4-bedroom bungalows can vary a lot depending on finishing level and soil condition.
For example, two people can both say ₦X budget, but once foundation type changes or finishing upgrades start, the difference becomes huge.
I recently documented a full breakdown (from foundation to finishing) for a similar 4-bedroom project with real numbers and site footage.
