Re: Cost Of Building A House In Nigeria by 9ijaMan: 3:55pm On May 02, 2011 |
Gnexplore: Your question is well understood. However you did not provide the dimension of the house. You may use the simple analysis below to get a good estimate. For a good deck work, you'll need two coaches on the perimeter (external) walls of the building and three coaches of blocks on all the internal walls. The third coach for the external walls will be a 9" beam which will run through the entire perimeter of your structure. This will assist in carrying the deck load as well as provide a good support for the walls. To answer your question: a single block is 18 inches (1.5 ft) long, at least this is referring to the most regular block type/shape in 9ja. Add up the length of all your external walls, multiply this figure by 2 (two coaches) and then divide the final result by 1.5. This is assuming all your lengths have been converted to the the imperial system (feet). Do the same for the internal walls, however you will need to multiply the total lengths of all internal walls by 3 (remember it's now 3 coaches for internal walls). Divide your answer by 1.5. Adding the total number of blocks for internal and external walls will give you a good estimate and near accurate figure for your block requirements. Example: Perimeter of all external walls = 180 ft. Total blocks needed for the two coaches = (180*2)/1.5 = 240 blocks. Length of all internal walls = 450 ft Total Blocks needed for internal walls = (450*3)/1.5 = 900 blocks Total number of block needed above lintel = 240 + 900 = 1,140 blocks. Note that I have not added any excess, this is so 'cos when the blocks are being set, they'll have at least 1" gaps for cement/sand mixture. This should take care of the excess. However if you care to, you may round up the final figure above to 1,200 (60 extra block) to take care of watages. I hope this would help. |

Re: Cost Of Building A House In Nigeria by Omnisean: 8:01pm On May 03, 2011 |
Can somebody please give me an overall estimate for fencing two standard plots including a gate (at least 9 coaches of block)? 1 Like 1 Share |
Re: Cost Of Building A House In Nigeria by 9ijaMan: 8:38pm On May 03, 2011 |
Gnexplore: Sincerely speaking I think the guy who gave you the estimate in terms of quantity is doing a good job. His figures are ok as long as he's not going to do a substandard job. Let me try my rickety brain to go through your figures one at a time: The qty for 16mm rods are ok. I estimated about 43 pieces and he's asking you for 39 pieces (this is ok 'cos I added a bit of excess). I guess the 12mm rods will be meant for the lintel concrete work, I do not know the number of windows (and the different sizes of the windows) your house will have hence I do not know how to make an estimate here. The 8mm rods will be used for rings round the 16 mm rods (at defined intervals) in forming the cuboid shapes for the pillars and rings for the 12mm to form the cuboids for the lintel work. 25 pieces of 8mm rods is also reasonable considering the quantity of the 16mm and 12 mm rods. 2 bundles of binding wire is ok as well. The workmanship of 40k is also reasonable, based on my experience, however you can still try to beat the figure down a bit. 30k will be a good starting point and then you can settle for 35k after a bit of bargaining. Generally the quantity of almost every other material is reasonable and the labour charges are equally reasonable. I however have a big concern with your choice (or your mason's choice) of using gravel for pillars. My brother I beg you to please avoid doing that. If you have to delay your project to addd more money to purchase granite, please do so. You can use gravel for lintel work (if you choose to conserve money), but never for pillar or deck work. Granite is about twice or at most 3 times the cost of gravel. USE GRANITE for all your pillars beams and deck work. Spending an extra 100k on granite is nothing compared to the total cost of the project which (by my little) estimate will be more than 10 million Naira. What is worth doing is worth doing well. On the post lintel block work: I do not know the size of your house nor the dimensions. Hence I cannot tell if the quantity of materials are ok or not. However going by the initial quantities, I'll assume the estimates here should be ok too. Lastly, you'll notice I have not said anything about the price of materials (I only made comments on labour costs), this is because I've no clue what the costs of building materials are lately. I'm living abroad and was only home last November when prices were still reasonable. So forgive me for not being able to give an opinion on the prices. You can verify the figures by getting the price of each material from some other sources independent of the guy who gave you the above estimates. Check at least 2 other independent sources for the price of the materials, and proceed to make purchases based on the most reasonable figures (not necessarily the cheapest figures o)!

Re: Cost Of Building A House In Nigeria by Omnisean: 9:28pm On May 03, 2011 |
9ijaMan, please did you mean 240 blocks will do for two coaches, so for 9 coaches will be 1080 blocks? |
Re: Cost Of Building A House In Nigeria by 9ijaMan: 2:23pm On May 04, 2011 |
Omnisean:That's not what I meant. My figures were just simple examples. You need to have the total measurement of the perimeter of your land/plots. Once yo have the perimeter, then you can use my example as a guide. You will also need to add some excess of about 10% since it's a fence you are building and not a regular wall. |

Re: Cost Of Building A House In Nigeria by fawazbruce: 4:11pm On May 20, 2011 |
Naijaman, I seriously need your help. I am currently involved in a project to plaster two houses. The dimensions of the houses are: Main Building: 12.975sq m by 25.975sq m. Area of this building is 313.648sq m BQ: 7.875sq m by 14sq m. Area of this building is 110sq m The main building is a block of four nos 3 bedroom flats while the BQ comprises of 2 nos 2 bedroom flats. All rooms have their bathrooms ensuite; each flat has a guest toilet, with parlour, kitchen and dining area. The contractor employed by the owner of the premises has been known to 'inflate' materials used in building the 2 houses. I have been requested to prepare a counter quote for the cost of plastering this premises( this counter quote will be compared with the quote that the contractor handling the job will submit) Can anyone give a rough estimate of: - how many bags of cement - amount of plastering sand required(tonnes of plastering sand and/or size and number of trucks) - maximum labour cost for bricklayers(numbers of days and daily rate to pay) - cost per truck load of plastering sand - various types of plastering sand available Any other information will be appreciated. Unfortunately, the contractor cannot be changed(there is a signed contract for the job already, but materials can be supplied by the owner, if the owner chooses). Thanks |

Re: Cost Of Building A House In Nigeria by bebe2(f): 10:50pm On Jul 02, 2011 |
hi guys, i really want ur opinion on this. i want to start building my house in benin city, its a 5 bedroom bungalow. i am seriously thinking of making it a dormer bungalow so the kids can use it as their living room or games room. this is very common in the uk and america butno one innigeria seem to agree with the idea becos the decking is going to be made of wood. do you have any idea of this in nigeria? its getting very fustrating to get my point across to my architect and others. its there a negative or positive to this idea? pls help. |
Re: Cost Of Building A House In Nigeria by olubuffett: 11:39pm On Jul 02, 2011 |
bebe2: I understand what you want perfectly, i think the problem is using wood in Nigeria they are not favorable i don't no why they, may be for safety reason in case of fire, or they belief wood can't stand the test of time, well go with the flow use concrete then you can use wooden flooring as finishing; and the your architect a bungalow with a pent house. |
Re: Cost Of Building A House In Nigeria by bebe2(f): 2:07pm On Jul 05, 2011 |
thanks bro, i heard dis is mostly done in yoruba lands. but still abit sceptical. i just want it to be a game room, something to get my boys excited wen we talk about nigeria. i cant afford a concrete decking and it wont fit in with a bungalow. |

Re: Cost Of Building A House In Nigeria by olubuffett: 1:11am On Jul 06, 2011 |
bebe2: since its just a room it shouldn't cost much, it really depends on your design and it will fit with a bungalow once the roof is high. |

@ese1985, i am building a 4 bedroom duplex here in Abuja and the estimate is about N20m. Like most people have posted in here, it'll really depend mostly on the nature of the soil, the area the site is situated, access to site, ur taste, the time u want it completed and so many other factors |
