I don't think it can depending on the quality of materials you use Only electrical and ties will will divide the money almost half I have project now in my village am just thinking about how to start because things are very expensive |

phrezzz:yes it can, if you have the land already it can build it, but i will suggest you get the building design and consult the services of a quantity surveyor to know the exact cost, if you are yet to design the house, i will recommend this guy in the below link, he is good both exterior and interior https://www.nairaland.com/6672464/building-designs-construction-services/5 |

Was talking with a client of mine, we talked about the economy and also got to the house building part, and we argued if 40 Million could build a decent house in this present time, he really cracked me up, saying that amount can only build " ile alamo" ( Mud house ). ![]() |

Houseontherock1:Oh wow! What was your final budget for your own duplex? Although my taste and yours could defer. I will add buffers to set a realistic expectations |
| Re: Can N45m Build This? by phrezzz(op): 12:19pm On Apr 22, 2025 |
RandomFellow:appreciate your feedback. what would be a realistic number because my initial plan was 45m for building 25m for the interiors? I am actually shocked about the numbers for the stairs. One would have thought the stairs won't be that pricey for the easy look and feel. |

Waqes900:Thanks! Will take a look |

Yes, though depending on the floor area determined by the floor plan. I build something like this but 2 storey and bigger than this, it cost me 100+m. I used block decking which save morethan 10m on decking only

Where u see 45m for this economy 🙄 |
| Re: Can N45m Build This? by casmir378: 1:08pm On Apr 22, 2025 |
Brother, 45m would barely roof this structure …..believe me, I am a civil engineer, completing this house minus interior budget 80 to 100m bro…..the glass work alone and stair would cost about 10 to 15m Budget about 1200 bags of cement to completion which is about 12,000,000 Before you go to reinforcements, tiles,woods,blocks,granites, wc, lightenings ..and then other aspect of building |
| Re: Can N45m Build This? by Ihengwu: 1:14pm On Apr 22, 2025 |
If youre economical, you may budget N80m. |
| Re: Can N45m Build This? by ideykwum: 1:17pm On Apr 22, 2025 |
You are absolutely right! Budget about 100m…and that does not include furnishing! RandomFellow: |
| Re: Can N45m Build This? by hssd8nland: 1:34pm On Apr 22, 2025 |
phrezzz:Yes it can excluding Interior Decoroations |

dawnomike:Not in this climate your engineer and workers will be ripping you off, and cost of building materials is through the roof right now ..it can't be done. Dont let people deceive you |

Very laughable |
| Re: Can N45m Build This? by Skydivine: 3:59pm On Apr 22, 2025 |
casmir378:You are very correct. That house design will need a lot of 16mm . Nothing less than 100pices (#1.7M) Then 12mm will be up to 200 pieces average .(#2.4M) 10000 blocks at 600 is #6m. 200 sqm of local tile ( 60 x120) @ #15k is 3M Granite 600k depending on location 30tons x 3 #1.8M. Roofing sheet 6500 x 400s =2.6M Total #17.5M When you add this amount to what you above (#23) . That is already #40M. We still have Electrical ; wires and fittings .Dboxes. Plumbing ; pipes and toilet seats, shower, Sinks Screeding Painting - interior and exterior and ceiling Doors : external and internal Pop. Cabinet . Kitchen cabinets , wardrobe/ closets and . Staircase Rails All bathrooms doors Countertop (granite or marble) Water source |

Skydivine:added all this plus cement at 12m still arrived at 26.9m |
| Re: Can N45m Build This? by Skydivine: 4:23pm On Apr 22, 2025 |
phrezzz:No look at the edited version. It’s over #40M (don’t forget the glass wind of #12m). Then you still have the other things I listed. And I add more Sand for filling foundation Sand for setting blocks Sand for plastering DPC nylon 50 piece 8mm rod Planks for form work Planks for decking Other wood for form work Roofing woods Binding wires Nails Transportation of materials Water Burglary proof Mosquito nets Suck away Tank stand Outside German floor Scaffolding Bamboo for decking Mirrors Shower glass TV console Labor for all the work #10M |

Anybody that wants to build that for you for 45 million is going to have to be competent and frugal. If you're going to use excellent materials and proper measurements to reinforce your foundation and decking then 40% of your budget is already gone without starting on the interior. No matter how minimalistic you want to be, there are certain things that must be present interior wise and they've all risen in cost, from plumbing(bath tubs, shower, sink, water heater) to electrical, heck a prepaid meter will set you back a good amount unless you want to spend years on the waiting list. Exterior wise, how much dem dey sell pumping machine now and drums? Painter go collect his own million, flooring, gate etc. Don't forget the time and energy you need to spend to monitor the materials and the workers otherwise add extra 2 to 5 million for wastage and theft. A more realistic budget is 50 to 60m and this is if you're not building on flood lands like Ajah or Lekki, for those areas add additional 10 million. |

This question of cost should go to a Quantity surveyor (whom you should pay), and not open source Nairaland. That said, N45m would bring you out of the carcass stage but not quality finishing as shown in the images. Budget N70m to replicate what is in the image. PS: I'm an Architect |
