A lot depends on the type of house and the location of the site.

But even if what you're building is just a very small bungalow 3 million will probably only take you to lintel or roofing level.

[b]There's no point going to tie down your money if what you have is not enough to take the house to a reasonable level. [/b]quote

See a procrastinator's drained brain!

There is a BIG point tie-ing your money if what you have is not enough to take the house to a reasonable ANY level.

Start small if you haven't!
You will finish it up anytime soon, with dedication and God's help!

It’s either you’re not in touch with the reality or you’re subtly mocking the op.

3m will only take the house to lintel at best

Maybe you’re talking of 15 years ago when things were cheaper.

Cements today is 5k per bag

Things were not really this expensive before Coro.

If you have land already then you can squeeze out a 2 bedroom flat that can be easily expandable to a 3 bedroom or even 4 in the future.

The assumptions is that you’re level headed, will roll up your sleeves to get involved and less acclaimed alleged professionals.

Have a look at one of my projects.

Let’s all be serious when someone ask for help.it’s possible to have one bedroom with that funds I’ve done it before but you must be on site yourself and try to avoid cement where you can and expensive roofing materials, floor can be rug or quality rubber carpet and you have a house.

If you have a land already, 3 million will take it to lintel .

Roofing alone and parapet will take almost 4m . ( and I’ll advice you use stone coated , using step tiles is not worth it cos the price is just 200 naira different)
Plastering alone will take up to 1m ,

Window and doors will take atleast 1.5m
Tiles, pop , borehole , plumbing and conduit will take atleast 3m


To build a standard 3 bedroom flat , you’ll spend atleast 15m..
If you one rough am , you’ll spend 10m.

Anything below this, is rubbish even 1 bedroom will finish the money .

I’ll advice you to buy more lands in a new site with that money and keep for future. Or if u have steady flow of income then you can start building with 3m , if not , no try am. I’m talking from experience.
If you’re not financially stable, building house will finish you and at some point you’ll blame yourself for starting in the first place . If you’re still young , pls find money first

You really made a lot of sense. That 3m should be invested to bring in more money unless he has steady and stable income already. If not, he will feel like he wasted that 3m if he embarks on the project

You can build this simple 2bedroom bungalow with 3m.
Thank you. cool

Many are talking off point without foundation.

Some said uncompleted house, without telling us whether it is a bungalow or duplex, a single room bungalow, or a single room bungalow self contained or 2 room bungalow shared toilet bathroom and a kitchen etc. Only a very few responds here elaborated on their points.

For God sake, you must not use the eye of a politician's duplex or bungalow to intimidate the young man. Respect the days of humble beginning. Shalom.

Everybody saying whatever, without applying the sow coat according to ur size format
Since the primary reason for building ur house is to stay rent free for life,when it come to roofing instead of using those trending costly roofing sheet,why not use zinc the shining one,pack ur load enter house,when money come u do wetin u want

It's feasible with interlock bricks. A brick cost #100. It's strong, durable, aesthetically appealing and cheap. It requires no mortar for joining. With this bricks, it's very possible sir.

Are you into that line, your location, how many rooms do you think that amount can do, to what level etc. Oya dey talk

if he has a land already I think he can build a moderate 2 bedroom to an extent. It take about 2500 block to to build that.let me just give a small breakdown.
1. Block 6" 2500×300=750,000
To lay the block let's say #100 per block(my area I can still pay #70
2. 2500×100= 250000
Cement 1 bag should lay 100 blocks. Let's say 30 bags × 5000 =150000. Sand and granite 300k.
Rod for lintel 100k he can then go for a cheap roofing option.
