Moderate finishing means:

Means Normal 4.5 or 0.45 Aluminium roofing sheet which is currently between 20 to 25k per bundle (15 sheets)

Normal hanging toilets for 15 to 17k

Nigerian tiles, American panel doors for interior doors and China for external doors.

Basically nothing fancy

A three bedroom bungalow would obviously cost more

I am not an Architect, I just have experience in building. So I suggest you contact real architects, I can only offer advice based on my limited knowledge.
Thank you bro. I still don't get the real meaning of moderate finishing. What does he need to do more before he moves in the house or does moderate finishing mean the house is complete both inferior and exterior. He just need to move in? Thanks

"Suppose one of you wants to build a tower. Won't you first sit down and estimate the cost to see if you have enough money to complete it?"

This is largely dependent on your area of construction, and of course....style (taste) too.

Generally though, excluding land costs, anywhere between 900k and 2 million should get you something nice. All the best man.

He went biblical.

I like that. smiley

Relax n still look 4 more money n build 3bedroom flat. By the time u finish building that room con, n u start living in it, when your load alone az occupied the whole space. Try n build 3bedroom apartment which will be okay 4 u later. If later things doesn't work well, u can convert the 3bedroom flat into 2bedroom flat n a mini flat in which u can be collecting the mini flat rent later

Yes, he would move into the house with moderate finishing. The building project would be complete.

A finishing can cost more if more expensive materials are used like StepTiles roofing sheets, standing toilets, Spanish or Italian tiles and Turkish doors.

3.5 to 4 million should do the trick.

NB:. But you have to be careful not give the roofing to.contractors, otherwise they will charge you a lot of money. Rather Look for a good Capenter to give you a quote and buy the materials yourself.

Depends solely on your location. You need to be precise about the plan as well. My friend in Ilorin built his room and parlor self contained with 1.4m with nice interiors (new sets of chairs, TV, window blinds, bed and kitchen utensils). And trust me, the place is superb and great. He doesn’t use borehole, he uses pumping machine with his hand dug well. Forget all these faking here about imaginary buildings. Though without fencing and it’s just a plot of land. He got the land last year October at 150k during one promo from a real estate agent.
I'm glad to have come across this post cuz I'm in Ilorin too. First, can you link me up to your friend you're talking about? Secondly, do you have an idea how much a 3 bedroom flat should cost to build? The land is in Ilorin, tanke to be precise. Thanks
Re: What's The Cost Of Building A Self Contained Apartment Now? by jayworld15(m): 5:36pm On May 08, 2020
Excluding the land ownership, pls just have between 5million to 300million. To build house now isn’t an easy thing. House building has many factors attached to it.
1) site location- the amount you’ll use in building a house around Surulere in Lagos wont be the same with the one in Oke-Bola in Ibadan or Choba in Rivers State.

2) Land terrain- If your terrain is water logged, be prepared to spend a lot of money for foundation. And by the way, you can even spend from 300k to 1M for borehole water drilling and installation.

3) Cost of materials- what kind of materials do you intend to use.

4) Design-both interior and exterior

5) Area- How secured, porous, motorable, etc is it
And many more.
Don’t mind those telling you 700-1.5m. Only if you want to erect a muddy house.

What you just asked is like asking A Doctor how much will it take to do a major surgical operation, his respond will be, what is the file nature of the operation or asking a Lawyer how much will he use to defend your case in a law court without stating the case ...

So pls look for Professional in the field today....
Contact any Architect around you or if you don't have, am available to direct you professionally as an Architect from your brief and site location

Lols...the issue of your floor plan in relation to the OP's own comes to play ....
Until the OP brings up a building Plan , his question is like asking a blind man how many steps will he take before getting to his house.....

Bros, first of all, congratulations to you for taking the very first step. Didn't you hear that Rome wasn't built in a day? As you don start now, e beta pass person wey neva even start. Most people are waiting to have millions before they start and they end up not building anything. You see those ones we call illiterates sometimes make better decisions than we do. Most of the carpenters, mechanics, tailors etc already have their own house. They used to say that the brains of the learned ones are at the back of their hands. They don't wait till they have millions. Once you start,your mind will be attracted to it, you won't have to spend money on unnecessary things. You don't have to rush it, gradually you will complete it. Remember,slow and steady wins the race. Congratulations once again bro. The Lord will see you through.
