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

Mirasteel:
Stop deceiving people, you can build a good dupex from 60 million.

Umuinyioku:
You don't know what you're talking.

Except you want to inflate prices of building materials. Otherwise the money id enough.

VaginaAcademic:
Please I need serious advice and breakdown

Kavod:

DONT LET ONLINE PEOPLE WHO NEVER BUILD I BED ROOM APARTMENT ADVISE YOU SHA...
TO BUILD HOUSE NOR DE COST FROM FOUNDATION TO LINTEL... THE COST THEY COME FROM THE FINISHING, INSHORT THE FINISHING TAKES 80% COST...

50 MILLION NOR FIT BUILD THREE STANDARD BEDROOM APARTMENT NOR BUNGALOW.
TRY 80M,

REMEMBER I SAID STANDARD.

decatalyst:


15million wetin?

Is this some kind of a joke?

I guess it's been long to price building materials.

Excluding the land, the 15m will not take your standard 3bed room past 70%.

Free2Fly:


Bros, i built 2 houses in 2024 from February when the prices of materials skyrocketed to December, and I'm currently on the last one.

So, I'm talking from an experience that's still very very fresh, with regard to the current cost of materials and labour fees.

As i said, if he buys materials by himself and monitors closely to avoid theft(which is very common now), 50m will be enough to complete the 3bed bedroom bungalow.

kings59:
15 Million will do that perfectly well.

A man in my area used 12 million to build a good bungalow, more beautiful than the one OP attached to his photo.

All those crazy people shouting 50M are thieves. Buy the materials yourself and don't allow the engineer to do it.

I would have shown a photo, but the man wouldn't like to see his house online because he is a Military person.


Make una just dey mumu for nairaland. Learn and stop arguing and quoting me.


We are talking about Three bedrooms here and not 5 bedrooms.

If a trip of sand is 180k, filling 3 rooms a parlor and a kitchen and bathrooms would take let's say 6 tippers of sand = 1.8 M

Then the rods should take 2.5M for foundation.

Casting it + cement + granite should be 4 M

Blocks can be 800k

The ceiling and roofing should be 2.5M since it's 3 bedroom

Windows and doors should be 1.5M ( 3 doors 3 rooms, kitchen, and toilet and bathroom + entrance) making 6 doors= 600k windows and the rest 600k
Workmanship 1.5M

Is the building not set already?

The OP never specifies internal decoration, just building.


No wonder many people fail exams.

harqinhola:
Yes, it can.

Sugarboyy:

Sand
Cement
Granite
Rod
Binding wire
Nails
Workmanship
All these aren't upto 1m?
How much does just workmanship cost in your area for such a job?

If I could remember vividly, I bought 12 tonnes granite(not dust granite oh). Though they didn't used all.
2 rolls of biding wire (small remain)
Can't remember the quantity of iron rod that I bought but amongst were 12mm, 10mm and 8mm.
4-1 sharp sand was sold at 95k with I did it last year
How many bags of cement will you use for such a job?
I bought a bag of nails or so (can't remember the nails measurements).
And workmanship was 300k.
Do your calculations oga.
And mind you, I was the one that bought every materials needed for the job and I supervised it from morning till evening, everyday
Infact almost everything done in that building till I finished it, I was the one that bought it myself... I was only paying for workmanship

Lekison:
You dey mind those online engineers? Someone even said he should prepare 80m . They will just inflate price and value anyhow online. I blame the OP for bringing such to Nairaland. He better go and consult the experts within his city for proper quotation. 30M-40M is enough to build a standard 3 bedroom.

Factcheck0001:
don't mind all those idiots

Go to property section n see good houses for less than 20 million but our billionaire's here will tell us 200 million isn't enough to buy land

Yemade029:


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

Skydivine:


If you bought an old used Corolla for $1k (#1.6m) from US. Assuming can even find one at that price. Auction fee alone and towing from auction ground might cost up to $800.
Ship it for $1500 ( #2.4M)
Clear it for #2.8M
Total is #6.8M
Fix it for additional #300k ( battery, tire and oil change and breaks )

How much would you sell it to make some profit?

Danthemariner:
Take it easy
We have a project that is 95 percent complete

2 unit of 2 bedroom duplex

Equipped with solar, standing ac, gas , expeller, washing machine, finger print door, griller , chandelier, screeded wall, pop, increant floor etc

Gentle men the cost for the 2 set of the 2 bedroom duplex in total
Money spent as at today is not up to 120m

You guys shouldn’t allow anything discourage you Biko

Please note we did flat roofing for the two duplex
House would be completed this January
I’m not sending pictures I have noting to prove

Houses are been sold in Lekki for 500m
Not just because the building alone is worth the amount…
It is the land location that is worth that amount …

15-20m will build you a 2-3 bedroom bungalow
With good finishing

Mind you among most expensive things in building is iron rod
And you don’t need much to build a bungalow
Bye

highchief1:

highchief1:

Danthemariner:
I agree with the fact everything has grade,..

As a owner of a building project always be on deck and have eyes
Compare prices of materials your self…
Engineers greed are among the factors of high cost of building.
