I bought the land half plot at 4m ajah 2018 and fence it round with gate with about 700k dec 2018 and keep hustling .
I started the project of house June 2021, I have 10m ready and I supervise it my self with the help of my brother when am not available.

Out of the 10m I did foundation , you know Lagos is water land so the foundation takes like 2.5m with Germany floor all solid materials bought myself and setting of blocks don't take much till linted and finally decking , that consume like 4m because, plumber , electrician, carpenter, and welder will work .

That's one of the stage that takes much money cus I bought only iron like 1.5m .

After that stage you will set blocks base on your plans mine is 4bedroom , 2 palours , 4bedrooms , kitchen, store, dinny and all duplex need .
After setting of blocks u will so another linted and if you like you can include paraphet that may cost u nothing less than 500k or more .

The to the roofing another spending .
Since I used Gerald, carpenter will buy a lot of wood and it's must be hard wood cus gelrad is heavy and base on the square meter , mine is around 283 , all I spend for roofing was around 3m . So I spent like 11.5m to 12m to roofing , what I spent not someone's project .

I thought it's almost done but house nah long things ooooo.
Let me just note all once not to stress una with my English .
I rest and continue Jan 2022

Casement window 1.3m
All house pop around 1m
Plastering chop material 2m
Electricals like 2m
Plumbling takes money like electrical , like 2m
Only where I put water thank is 500k cus it must he very tall since it's duplex .
Kitchen cabinet and others 1m
Screeding and painting =1.5
Tiles= 1.7 or more
Doors = more than 1m

I can't even list all cus they no dey finish house once , have moved in October 2022 so I wish this can help a lil

Can someone create a similar thread for Bungalow, I'll really appreciate
Thanks

I’m still saving money to buy land. I’ll come back to reply when it’s complete

I've not finished mine......started in 2021 January.

5bedroom duplex.......

I basically put in abt 20% of my monthly income. Because a residential house is more of a liability than anything. I won't advice anyone especially a business person to just plunge in huge resources in building a house especially if u are just starting life.


Spent about 30m to carcass level......I've roofed and plastered.

Land acquisition was done 5yrs earlier from a govt agency.

Building is all about saving. Don’t get deceived by motivation speakers to go invest that precious 4m u saved into one business in a bad economy as nigeria. The same job u were doing that got you the money will also bring more of it with consistency and hardwork.

I'm here to gain experience. Wonderful thread.

Currently building one. No regrets but I wish I bought the next plot instead and build a super magnificent bungalow with ample space for grass and trees (nature view) in the compound. 5 bedroom & the finishing is a little above average. Decent, mature sharp and simple. I guess about 30M spent already. We're still brushing up the finishing. It may gulf another 5 to 10 M depending on specs.

Again I will say it one more time!

The obsession to "build" house and be called landlord or home owner is one of the major reasons many Nigerians are stagnant in life.

You toil for 10yrs and finally make your first 10 to 100million naira and the first thing that tops your agenda is to start building a house. Then you Bury all the money in the ground reverting to square 1.

That money is supposed to be your capital, you're supposed to put it back to wherever you got it from for profit or you can reinvest it somewhere else.

Then when your profit grows big you can upgrade your cars and maybe start building a house.

I currently own duplexes across 3 states mostly in Lagos and my home state, I didn't achieve that with my first breakthrough, I did it after lots of reinvestment.

If you want to go far in life, follow this simple logic, don't let the standards set by society control your money.

Will they hear? Very myopic mindset.
