Foundation alone up to dpc is more than a thousand block.
3 couches inner and 2 outside to allow for parappet makes it 4000

This is the main reason there are many uncompleted projects everywhere.
That amount can not complete the block work of a standard four bedroom bungalor,my four bedroom bungalor took upto 5000 blocks and the amount for rod is crazy.
From my expirence burget above 7m for the block work,don't be deceived.
You can start with that amount but do not hope to go far,maybe just foundation.
Attached is my ongoing project and i used over 5000 blocks for it.

The blocks were estimated for only foundation sir, not for completion of the building...

Hi Tobby Boy, you need to be careful of who gives you advise on forums like this. Some are just out to overthrow somebody else. Somebody said 300k is too small to build foundation for the size of building mentioned here. Says who! in Ibadan of all places. I built the decking of my house just 3years back at N300,000 workmanship. Its a stretch of 26ft by 84ft building with a 3bedrm/2bedrm apartment. How much less Ibadan and this is even foundation.

Pls my brother, discuss with your builder, seek out other builders within your locality and compare prices but certainly don't take any builder connection from this forum or any other. Be on site to ensure whatever he promised to buy is delivered and checked on site by you or your trusted proxy. If the estimate is short, buy more of whatever is needed. Monitor to ensure materials received on site in your presence, especially cement are not sold off when you are not around.

These are local buiders, most of the time their estimates are not empirical but guess work from experience. Your building will go through to completion eventually, even if takes another 25% above your estimates. But if you follow the critics in this forum, you will get so skeptical that
the money will eventually end up in some other unworthy investment.
