Kingbuhari:
from experience it can... the most expensive of them all is the roofing... from foundation to DPC and linter level to normal levelling won't take more than 1m...

as a lump sum roofing is the most expensive, but immediately after roofing is the beginning of the "real building "itself, things like electrical wiring, windows, doors, plumbing, septic tank, Ceiling, maybe borehole etc can cost as much as the previously amount spent

Kingbuhari:
4500blocks will do 5bedroom bungalow, therefore 4500block X #100 a block = #450,000... believe me 550,000 will take care of the labouring and change go still come out of it... Doors let say 15doors for the whole building, Korean door is not more than 25k, 25000X15doors = 375,000, sliding windows 15,000X 14 windows = 210,000.. roofing 1m is due, tiles 250,000, ceiling 200,000, plastering both inside and outside 300,000... sanitary sewer system 200,000... this is the major things now tell me why 4m won't do it and still have small change to flex small

. Bros. It won't...modern is more than just what you are saying. Am an. Architect, if modern design come out now. You ll triple that expected money

This is probably how you'll sepnd your first 1million.
https://www.nairaland.com/3502464/how-build-comfortable-house-earning

The fact is =, if you want something you can point at - then 3-4 million would not be enough.

summmary:

1. Foundation works to german floor = 1milliom
2. Roofing Works = 1million
3. Windows and doors = 500k
4. blockworks = 500k

thats 3million and you've not done so many things.

now let's add the next 1 million and see what we can do?

5. Plastering = 300k
6. Tiling works = 500k
7. Electrical and plumbing works = 750k

Sorry - We're short of fund.... so the answer is 3-4 million can build you a 5 bedroom, but minus all the luxuries eg Tiles, Fashionable Roofing sheets, Quality Plumbing materials eg W.C and you would need to do surface wiring.

The choice is yours

call for your 3D designs 09081037402

It all depend on the LOCATIONS, BUILDING PLAN I.e, rooms en suite, Soil type and foundation, Finishes. If you want a 'mordern' average 5 bedrooms bungalow, 4million isn't even enough for the PLUMBING, ELECTRICAL, TILLING N PAINTING Only

Its good to let OP know what 4million can get him, if i ask u to buy me a 500k car are u saying its not possible? it is, but i shdn't be expecting anything modern.

surface wiring is an option he might wanna live with.. lol

bros check this one out... and I have not spend close to that amount... do u I need an architect when I can draw perfectly... at times we need to do it our own way to cut expenses... if u are a novice I advice u get an engineer... but if u have idea of construction its wont be necessary.. once the house has reach dpc, even the bricklayer will help u out... as I said earlier I'm just talking from experience

My advise is to reduce the number of rooms to 3 and use corrugated iron roofs. That way 4milliin can complete the building to a considerable taste.

This is carcass without anything. You should be at over 1million by now but before you complete plumbing and roofing it has surpassed 3million and if you make use of step tiles then 6million won't still do.

This is a dumb question to me. There is no standard or fixed amount for building. You have to give details first. When you say modern, do you mean with parapet and rough tiles? What type of soil do you have etc. You have to start with the drawing plan. Structural design and cost, aesthetics is another thing etc.
It's wrong for people to just say yes because there is an M attached to the number. Naira has no value again. Some might equally say no because of high quality.

Next try to present the details before you ask questions. Building is quite complicated. Friends can just tell you yes just to encourage you which is not bad. If you start then you know that naira has no value again.
If a close friend tells you 4m please budget 6m. Depending on what you want to build.
Some can spend 8 million and some can even spend less than that 4million.

bro it won't... I'm through with the plumbing, tiles will take up to 300k ...doors and sliding windows, Korea door is 25k and sliding windows are 18k each, roofing 1m is due.. I have done the rough estimate ... I have spend close to 1m+ .... from my rough estimate , I will still have small change in that 4m

ProfTea18:

Anambra

DeLioncourt:
I seriously doubt that it can... if anybody tells you that it's possible, prepare yourself for extremely substandard materials and a house that may collapse..

I hope you know the difference between "5 rooms & parlour " and "5 bedroom flat"?

AnaCheks:
It can, depends on the location of your village.

Location or no location,it cannot work

In this era of naira devaluation,it can not fly. Buhari must work hard to improve our economy .

Who are all these people saying No way?


Apparently, they are the types that enjoy being cheated by contractors or those selling building materials.


MR OP, once u are ready with ur money, and also ready with regards to time.

Please go down to that village. Invite many builders to give u quotations, then, compare and contrast, get a neutral person, person different from the one that gave u the quotations, take the person to the market, to buy good metal rods and good woods.

U can get cement by urself.

U can even mould blocks urself, (make sure they turn the sands very well)

After moulding ur blocks, u can also buy stones( also ask many people into the stone business, preferably the tipper drivers).

With the estimates u have, get local labour, employ those ones that has been building for others in the village, negotiate prices with them, u will be the one to pay them after each day. Also make sure that whatever they do is important and necessary b4 u engage them.

All these are ways to save costs.

Then get a good engineer that will help u supervise the work for @least 2weeks, by that time, ur house go don reach roofing level.

Repeat the procedures for the roofing and every other thing. U will be surprised that u may still have some change.





U can do it with the said amount if u already have the land for it.

Op you still haven't said anything about the location where the building will be situated. If your project is situated somewhere say Chibok or Sambisa, i really don't see why you will be needing up to 4M but if its an urban area then i think you need more.

Abeg all dis so called expert wit no house of dia own...

4m can build u a 5 bedroom flat without furnishing

OP start with whatever you have, when I started in February I had less than 1M in cash but presently I have spent over 5M an I've just completed the decking. Its about leap of faith which brings about favour and blessings, my prayer for you is that you will have more blessings and abundance to finish your project

Its obvious that most of the people saying it can't be done always don't put up facts and figures and even when they do they lump up costs widely.

One important factor ringing out through all these posts here is for you to find a way to supervise things yourself. Seek the services of professionals at certain stages of the project such as foundation etc. In the property section of NL you can find several completed projects from start to finish which you can learn from. Don't be scared especially if this is your first time.

Just this morning my welder has almost completed a water tank stand which I had to negotiate myself and we are closing it with delivery to site at about 90k. Initially I asked a middleman (plumber) to get me a quotation for the same tank stand with even a lower capacity and he presented a quote for 280k!

Pls experts help!!

My brother..... Please just start the project and monitor it closely..... Many people quoting prices here are ignorant.... They have never built soakaway talk less of house..... Jehovah Jireh is your provider
