You need 4,000 to 5000 blocks.
6 inches block
1 bag of cement gives you 45 blocks,
You need 112 bags to get 5,000 blocks
Finishing (interior) can be expensive or cheaper depending on your taste.
50 million will build 2 of these house minus land and get change is your finishing standard isn't too high

This one knows nothing about building. Lol

kings59:
15 Million will do that perfectly well.

Please I need serious advice and breakdown

You can contact me for professional advice. Get your architectural drawings and forward to me so that I can produce a workable Bill of Quantities for you. I just completed a standard 3 bedroom bungalow, 3KVA inverter, car park, security house, 15kva generator, fencing, borehole, landscaping and furnishing with about 80 million. Let's work according to your budget. Kindly avoid guess work.

highchief1:
50m won’t do it well with tasteful finishing.standard bungalow now is about .65m.duplex standard 180-200m.Note that 50m was building a duplex before the drug lord became a president

If land is available.50m will deliver very standard 3 bedroom bungalow.The most expensive thing there is the roofing.He even said 3 bedroom self.I did estimate recently for a basic standard 3 bedrooms 2 flats and it was around #35m.

Na kid dey talk

Forumites:
if land is available…. Why not?

Possible about 2yrs ago bro.

To electrify a 3bed, with good material, it will cost you nothing less than 2m. I am saying because I have been there.

A block is now btw 650-850...something of less than #200 2yrs ago.

A lot of expenses here can be reduced by 50 percent

I have currently spent more than 30m in my new 4 bedroom bungalow, and it seems I'm just starting 😭

If you are wise 10 millions will do it after getting land

Forumites:
if land is available…. Why not?

Because cost of materials have skyrocketed. That is why.

Forumites:

Why not?

Cost ni.

Check price of building materials in the market

My brother, if you haven't, please try and start a building project. You will come back here and change this stance of yours.
Even 60m excluding land won't build it

VaginaAcademic:
Please I need serious advice and breakdown

it depends on the quality of the finishes/installation...we can produce a bill for you and drawings(if you don't have drawings already) with a professional input to what you actually want to achieve a realistic solution

Very well. Your aesthetics is also a determinant

Sugarboyy:
Without the land, let me do a proper breakdown for you and allow you to decide yourself... This is from person experience.

To DPC level, you are spending a minimum of 2m.
To lintel level from DPC, you are spending another 2m minimum.
Let's say 5m from scratch to Lintel level, excluding filling sand and workmanship.
That parafet, I did mine that's an artwork parafet for 1.8m
Woodwork and roofing currently for this sample you posted, you are spending atleast 10m.
Plastering
Artwork
POP
Tiles
Borehole (tank, tank stand)
Piping
Plumbing
Furniture
Soakaways
Screeding
Painting
Burglary
Gate
Flooring
Power
Plumbing items,
etc

My brother, 50m won't build it.
You should be looking at 65-70m.

You added screeding/painting and furniture. You can choose to paint without screeding. Also, I think you should omit furniture for the meantime.

That amount will buy you a good house in Lagos mainland. Most especially in Ikorodu.

motta:
where you dey ? Only lintel self na 5m not to talk of roofing , we never even talk of setting of blocks , finishing never even dey .

parraflex and roofing go chop reach #15m.If u get land and give me 35m I go deliver a very standard 3 bedroom bungalow.P.O.P and art work,#2.2m go do am.
3500 blocks go build 3 bedroom bungalow.

DarlingtonC:

Exactly, cause I dont understand how you will pay labour 2m, just for foundation work alone

harqinhola:
Yes, it can.

With plenty of change if on very good soil.
Use that for a four bedroom duplex instead.

DarlingtonC:
A lot of expenses here can be reduced by 50 percent

You are right. The labor cost in most of the estimated quote is too high.

Imagine digging just foundation of a 3 bedroom for #700k . Who does that?

Come to my village and build.it is far cheaper

westlius:
You need 4,000 to 5000 blocks.
6 inches block
1 bag of cement gives you 45 blocks,
You need 112 bags to get 5,000 blocks
Finishing (interior) can be expensive or cheaper depending on your taste.
50 million will build 2 of these house minus land and get change is your finishing standard isn't too high

45 blocks for a bag of cement is not advisable.
It should be 35 or highest 40 blocks

DuttyChuks:
As per say na your papa get nairaland

he feels like lord and master of nairaland because no one can quote him by his username. As I quote, check you will see that your username appears in my post but once you quote him or write his name in your post yhe name disappears. So as they are they are treating like their lord and master, he can say any derogatory thing to anyone and nothing will happen.
He has a 2nd username NLPolicewoman that will come for you if you quote him and tell him the truth too.
