From my experience as a Registered practicing civil Engr is possible
1. Depends on materials you use
2. Site location
3. Labour cost around the area where the building is to be erected for example some places masons collect N3000, N2000 and even N2500 and labourers collect between 1000 to 1500

When you say Site location, do you mean its proximity to purchase of materials?

Yes...2Million will finish your house. Agbara is not a swampy area. With the calculation and info I will put up here.
Rooms 11*10 feet's
kitchen 7*7
sitting room 14*12
Toilet/bath 4*6
all ensuits
visitors toilet 4*4
The total block u will use is 2300units of 6" and 200 of 9". the 9" block is for the foundation. That is to round the foundation and use 6" to demarcate it inside.
2300*#100 = #230,000
200*#150=#30,000
one man diseal of sand 25k
one small tipper of stone #22k
20bags of cement * 1500 naira = 22500 naira for a start.
call the brick layer and ask how much they will lay 2500 blocks for you from foundation to linted and at the end of the day the highest u will pay is 100k- 120k.
u will only need to buy another sand 25k and may be 35bags of cement. with this, ur house will reach linted. do the calculation.
with miscellaneous, 500k will take your 3 bed to linted.

Then for your roofing.. the best plank to use is "igi agbon" palm karnel plank. is the best and cheaper 250naira 2*2, 2*3. buy as much with slate is 800 naira

plank 50k
slate 800 naira x 80 units
ceiling material 50k
workmanship highest 40k
omo onile money highest 70k

It will cost you 5million naira to complete a three bedroom house, and that is excluding land. I built a three bedroom house recently and I wrote down all the cost. Just fencing the house alone will cost over 500k. Trust me, no matter how hard you manage, you will spend at least 4 .5million

It depends on the taste, if it won't be painted, tiled and he will use SUMO or galvanized roofing sheet. The amount will do.

Very possible, currently building one in Ogba.

But you have to manage your project closely, to fully maximize your budget.

I discussed this with my oga who intends to build his house in 6 months and he siad he will build with just N2m without the cost of the land but that the rooms will not be of a standard one and the 3 rooms too. i.e portable flats.

Please is it possible and can anyone give us the break down of how this is possible. his land is at Agbara

many thnaks
since its excluding the cost of the land,its very possible especially if the land is very dry then he won't need filling.the picture below is a 3bedroom bungalow which is in an area that needed quite a lot of filling sand.as at now,i think we have spent less than 2million and we have finished plastering and fixing the iron doors,burglary proof and windows.the initial estimate for the roof was almost 750k but we were able to reduce that by going to the forest in satellite town to get coconut trees to be sawed into 2x3 and 2x4.that alone reduced the estimate by almost 200k.
So in reality,2million isn't a bad budget but he wwill need to either do the construction himself or put someone he trusts and won't have to pay in charge.

Depending on the location, topography, finishing and your experience in building houses, you will spend between 3.5 million to 8 million Naira.

I asked the same question (2.5m though) when I was footdragging about starting my first house in 2009. I started all the same. It ended up a bigger project than envisaged with 10m plus spent.

My advice: just start.

It would go far to lintel or roofing level, but it would not complete it.

2 million will build 3 bedroom flat, it all depends on the taste of the owner.
Re: Is It Possible To Build A 3 Bedroom Flat With N2million? by meritocrat: 8:56pm On Nov 13, 2015
#2m can build 3 bedroom apartment here on Benue.

1. Cost of molding blocks - #10 per block

2. Number of blocks needed - 2500

3. Number of blocks per cement bag - 45

4. Total bags of cement to mold blocks = 56 bags

5. Total bags of cement needed for construction = 50

Contractor charge #120,000

etc.

I would have itemized all with their price tag, but my schedule will not permit me.

I hope he puts into consideration omo oniles foundation and roofing fee at agbara.
For his location 2m compared to similar one I am doing at Pakuro also at Ogun State shall do foundation, columns, blockworks, lintel, roof, septic and soak away tanks. Well may be backfilling depending on site condition. Beyond this I can't guranatee any longer.

the answer is YES with the following conditions.
1 if the contract would be handled by someone like me.( a professional)
2 if the structure will not require DPC( damp prove course)
3.if the owner (client) will accept ordinary or Gana zinc( roofing sheets)
4 if the land is not on water log area.
5 if the land is near a city were materials can easily be transported or if transfer of materials is not part of the 2 mill

Septic tank, plumbing, electricals (eg pipe conduits) , foundation, roofing, ceiling, plastering, painting, floor, tiles etc will definitely cost more than N2m.
Re: Is It Possible To Build A 3 Bedroom Flat With N2million? by BRAINCRASH(m): 9:07pm On Nov 13, 2015
If you build now that cement is cheap you can finish it with 2 million....red stones are cheaper than the grinites.since its village all you need is to get the plan and find a good mason...keep all blocks about 3000 pieces and discuss the price of construction to roof level with the mason....allow him bring his boys....keep a good relative to see that your materials are not stolen....all these are on the assumption that the soil is stable and may not need reinforcement except at lintel

N2m will even build you a duplex at Onwuba Itungbe Ongwuli local government area of Abia state, most of it will be constructed of mud and the possibility of it toppling over after a heavy tropical storm is quite high...but hey at least you can can say you too once owned a duplex
