Don't you know that govt has more resources and can acquire land and other materials much cheaper than any other person or group of people could do?

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

Hi, Please Can N45m build this 4bedroom duplex with interior stairs like the example? What would be a realistic budget for this type of house please

PS: I like very simple minimalistic style. I always believe less is more.
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

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 ). grin grin

No.

Short answer.

No sir, it won't. Iron rod is very expensive now and you'll use more of 16mm...by the time they gave me quotation for decking, I had to add an extra 550k that wasn't budgeted for. Cement...even simple carpentry work for the decking, pillars and lintel is a lot now.
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

Those stairs alone will set you back almost 10m! There's a reason it's not common sight in many luxury homes in Naija.

The floor to ceiling glass windows... Don't play. That stuff right there is so expensive, you'll save yourself high blood pressure by just using normal wall and aluminum windows. Trust me
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.

Thanks! Will take a look
Re: Can N45m Build This? by arcahmad(m): 12:21pm On Apr 22, 2025
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:
No, 45m will not build that unless you're using stolen materials or inferior ones.

Building materials are so expensive; good quality materials that exude taste and class are even more expensive. If you have the land already;

1. The cost of labour in the area (or place) will also differ and can affect the overall cost of the building.

2. Sincere supervisor or site manager will save you millions. An insincere one will steal millions from you- they'll pick bags of cement, buy fewer trips of sand and granites, shortchange you on rods, cement, etc

3. Experienced engineer will also save you cost, by doing a good job. Imagine a builder did not plum his line well, and site engineer did not observe. By the time we came and noticed it, the wall had set. They had to pull down the wall, costing us double on materials and labour. I hope you understand

Depending on your location l, quality of materials and interiors.
Without the aesthethics, yes is the answer!!!
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

How many rooms, toilets, bathrooms... what's the size of the building, specs, etc? Do you have complete drawings? Unless you provide detailed information, no one can say.

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

Sand for plastering
DPC nylon
50 piece 8mm rod
Planks for form work
Planks for decking
Other wood for form work

Re: Can N45m Build This? by abbey621(m): 4:41pm On Apr 22, 2025
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.
Re: Can N45m Build This? by thelegend1(m): 4:44pm On Apr 22, 2025
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.
