yes I bought Everyting myself.wetin I Dey work again.I gave my engr 4m for supervision from start to finish.I bought and monitored my material

Danthemariner:
If not that you monitored your self
Expect to spend close to times 2 and you will be happy because the building will comes out beautiful unknowingly to that you have spent more than the actual amount lol

decatalyst:
15million wetin?

Is this some kind of a joke?

I guess it's been long to price building materials.

Excluding the land, the 15m will not take your standard 3bed room past 70%.

Cashio:
you don't know what you are talking about

leksymaxy:
I am just surprised bro with what people are saying here, I finished my bedroom last November, and when I checked all I spent, I calculated 16. 6m even will nice furnishing and with an automatic gate, so why are they saying 50m won't build a 3bedroom flat

Akinpresident:
Onye oshi!
How much dem they sell house zi?

For Trademore estate Umuahia, 2 bedroom flat is 8M and 3 bedroom is 12M. This is because of the current situation of things. It used to be 6M and 8M for 2bed and 3bed.
No way 15 to 20M won't be enough to build a 3 bedroom. Unu kwusi all these lori iro before ekwensu akpoo unu oku.

Sugarboyy:
Without the land, let me do a proper breakdown for you and allow you to decide yourself... This is from person experience.

To DPC level, you are spending a minimum of 2m.
To lintel level from DPC, you are spending another 2m minimum.
Let's say 5m from scratch to Lintel level, excluding filling sand and workmanship.
That parafet, I did mine that's an artwork parafet for 1.8m
Woodwork and roofing currently for this sample you posted, you are spending atleast 10m.
Window 🪟
Doors 🚪
Plastering
Artwork
POP
Tiles
Borehole (tank, tank stand)
Piping
Plumbing
Furniture
Soakaways
Screeding
Painting
Burglary
Gate
Flooring
Wiring
Plumbing items,
etc

My brother, 50m won't build it.
You should be looking at 65-70m.

kings59:
15 Million will do that perfectly well.

A man in my area used 12 million to build a good bungalow, more beautiful than the one OP attached to his photo.

All those crazy people shouting 50M are thieves. Buy the materials yourself and don't allow the engineer to do it.

I would have shown a photo, but the man wouldn't like to see his house online because he is a Military person.


Make una just dey mumu for nairaland. Learn and stop arguing and quoting me.


We are talking about Three bedrooms here and not 5 bedrooms.

If a trip of sand is 180k, filling 3 rooms a parlor and a kitchen and bathrooms would take let's say 6 tippers of sand = 1.8 M

Then the rods should take 2.5M for foundation.

Casting it + cement + granite should be 4 M

Blocks can be 800k

The ceiling and roofing should be 2.5M since it's 3 bedroom

Windows and doors should be 1.5M ( 3 doors 3 rooms, kitchen, and toilet and bathroom + entrance) making 6 doors= 600k windows and the rest 600k
Workmanship 1.5M

Is the building not set already?

The OP never specifies internal decoration, just building.


No wonder many people fail exams.

Jorussia:
If land is available.50m will deliver very standard 3 bedroom bungalow.The most expensive thing there is the roofing.He even said 3 bedroom self.I did estimate recently for a basic standard 3 bedrooms 2 flats and it was around #35m.

Sugarboyy:
I have currently spent more than 30m in my new 4 bedroom bungalow, and it seems I'm just starting 😭

decatalyst:
15million wetin?

Is this some kind of a joke?

I guess it's been long to price building materials.

Excluding the land, the 15m will not take your standard 3bed room past 70%.

NairaMaster1:
You're very honest.
Maybe they are talking about an uncompleted building.

Oga do you need to buy an old used corolla,look for other brands

Umuinyioku:
He knows what he's talking about.

Except you want to inflate prices to buy building materials.

Cashio:
He does not know what he is talking about. And so are you.
I am a practicing architect and I will tell you for free that 27m cannot even do that project.
I did a renovation of my dad's olden days four bedroom bungalow, just added two toilets and a septic tank, did parapet and stone tiles roofing, pop in the lounge and corridors, conduit piping, general tiling, aluminum glasses and china doors, etc and I spent 13.3m. As at that period, a bag of cement was 5500, now, a bag of cement is 9500. A length of 12mm was 5400 then, now is 8200.
So my friend, you don't know what you are saying.

Mirasteel:
I know someone personally that built a very good duplex for such amount and furnished with 15 million, 75 million Naira in total.

topsy23:
Your analysis on plumbing and Electrical might be wrong. Electrical cables are very expensive now... Check the below analysis for cables

1.5mm for lighting
Red 5
Black 4
Green 1

2.5mm
Red 3
Black 3
15mm green 3

4mm
Red 2
Black 2

1.5mm for fence light
Red 2
Black 2
2.5mm 2

10mm cable 1

With the above analysis, 2m will not be enough for electrical because pipes and distribution board is not part of the analysis above. Also, light fittings which is the final fix is not part of it too..

You are actually right at least considering inflation, but for a typical 3 bedroom flat the range of 2.5 to 4 should
