It will be good to see thw analysis of how this building costs 7.3m. Where is the location of this building sir.

Hajji M.

have you noticed the current rush of cheaper costed homes recently and my argument that you can build a four bedroom bungalow with 2.5million naira by careful design and selection of building materials?

mercylicious:
7 million can build 4 rooms duplex to roofing. We have argued on DT and my builder confirmed it.

I hope you know a decent house consumes more money after roofing than before.

Donvicky thanks so much. I'm building in my village in Anambra. so throw more light on how I will spend this money building 6 bedroom duplex cos am starting next week.

make sure ur source all the woods you will be using in your local (Village) market,it is more cheaper to mould blocks than to buy from block industries, do you have any river in your village were you can buy sands cox its more cheaper than going all the way to River Niger to buy sand which is expensive including cost of transportation, Cement is N1400 here in Onitsha i dont know the cost in your village, do u have well were the labourers can draw water cox it will be economical than buying water. Cost of labourers runs from N1500-2000 for a day job here in my area so it will be more cheaper in your village. Go with the local stone instead of buying gravel.But do u have the bargaining power so as to bargain with ur Contractor for his workmanship.make sure u get for yourself a good Engr or contractor to handle ur house. But know that a good roofing will cost you upto 500K and above both the woods and roofing sheets,so bargain with ur contractor on how to manage that for you.
But if you make a good Quantity survey of the materials to be used that will the best cox it will let you know how far your budget can go.

The way you guys go misleading people 9n this forum dikwa egwu. For starters, how can you allude that 500,000 naira can roof a 6 bedroom duplex? Even labour cost alone would swallow a large chunk of that for s cheap one

Nice topic

nairamaniac:
madam. no one talked about cost of land here o.

Oga, Will 6bedroom duplex be built in the air or in your village they exclude cost of land in building plan? Since the topic did not confirm if there is an available land.

ikmtools:
House pls I need strategies to start and finish a portable 6 bedroom duplex with 6.5m.
pls drop ur contributions here.

yea depending on d quality and d location. where in anambra? cos am frm anambra and also an architect..could help u out

MWTH:
Yes it can. However you must explore the use of some sorts of free labour & materials.
First, you must consider the type of soil you're building on. Get experts to advice you. If its a clay or water logged soil, then exit using that amount.
If not, then follow my approach.

Get the following experts to give you these things for free.
1. A "portable" architectural design
2. A structural design
3. A mechanical design
4. An electrical ddesign

Once all these things are ready, find a QS to help you come up with the Actual Material & Labour cost.

Then, get a good Building or Civil Engineer to help out in the supervision.
Buy all the materials & pay all the labourers yourself.

That's all you need.

you should read carefully "I said 500K and above".

segcymoor:

Give me 4M and I will get you a land there with electricity.

Give me 2M and you will get one also at Mowe.

With 3.5M, I will also get you a land in Singha.

donvicky2007:

500K and above could be 1 trillion and it could also be 500K.

donvicky2007:

Bro I think you should construct your sentence in accordance with your reasoning and waht you mean to say,N500K and above can also mean N600K,now N600K would be gulped in buying and transporting of wood.Labour nko?
Plz these are very obvious

erico2k2:

i mean you should consult the thread by amalone aka oluwa champion.

honeric01:

Then you also don't know it could be as high as 40 million depending on the location.

Use local stone for a 6 bedroom duplex?? Oga abeg no advice am to build house wey go fall.

6 million naira can only do the following
1. Foundation : depending on nature of soil, budget about 2.5m up to dpc level.

2. Ground floor block know work and ring lintel : about 5000 blocks, five trips of sand, 100bags of cement, 100 Y12, gravel etc wil cost up to 1.5m

3. Suspended decking (slab work) will cost you up to 3m.

At this stage you will a deficit of 500k

You have drifted totally away from his question and my submission. He has friends who are experts. Young graduates practicing are obviously friends of his or friends of his friends.
Better still, go to any urban development department or ministry of housing and ask someone to help with an approved building plan.
Find a QS to do the QS report for you.
And get down with buying all materials yourself and supervising as well.
If you don't believe, it's not my job to force you bro.
