The Ibadan borehole crew are not smiling, N450,000 was the lowest that I could find. It sucks when I keep hearing this low borehole prices in Lagos and South east.

It costs very little to drill a borehole in Lagos and PH, also low in Owerri and some parts of Anambra. Enugu is so high to drill that you might sink N2m and still not get good water in most parts, except Ninth Mile corner of Enugu.

I don't know why ib is like that. The borehole I did recently in Lagos was 23k. The 3k on the 20k was even a 'dash' cos the guy was nice.

Borehole

It's good we're talking about various subjects on construction and this good topics explains why the cost of building the same structure in different location can never be the same.

Depth
Borehole in Ibadan (Elebu) can never be cheap because of the the nature of formation in the sub surface and the depth of the water table.

The depth of the water table in some eastern states could go as low as 250ft - 1000 ft or more which means drilling to get to the bedrock would require specialized equipment.

When I was faced with real challenge of getting good flow, I went as far as getting the geological formation of a whole county in Ondo state and realize that I was in a wrong terrain.

Casing Pipes
It'll always be cheaper to sink a borehole in. terrain with high water table because the no of casing pipe required will be less (always between 2 -7 in most cases). Some challenging terrain can take up to 20 - 30 casing pipes and still not get good water.

#Ask me what happened in Ondo. Talking of things paid for and assumed were not done. erico2k2. When Davezo Nigeria Ltd (one of the best rigger in Niger Delta) gave a quote of 1.5m for a 10m cubic borehole, the estimate was thrown away and the locals got the job for fraction of the cost.

Water Analysis and Treatment
In areas where boreholes are so cheap, there may not be any need for laboratory test. I knew how much I spent to carry out such test at Adeyemi College of Education, Ondo.

Drilling Equipment and Submersible Pump

And a lot more. This is the more important reason why a comprehensive investigation needs to be carried out before purchasing any land.

The worse part is you can dig this borehole and still not get good water or a very low recharge rate.

Sure there is.

Twinskenny - Give us ballpark figure for the Electricals (rough-ins and wiring to service panels)
Rotecch77 - Give us tiles and plumbings guesstimate
Abdulwastecx, Segzy14, KolaShangOne - Let's have figure for the carcass and plastering
Adeekiti - what should the client budget for the Windows.
Dominionng - Baba, you know what to do. Just give a budget.
Tinotino, sova - food don ready. We need a budget for this kitchen.

Teebawse - please kindly provide the key datas. Cost of sand, granite or Chippings, iron rods blocks in your location. And more importantly accessibility. It may help the guys provide you a near perfect guesstimate.

My benchmark for this build is between N8.5m - N9m.

you can have a sizeable three bedroom flat with good space to pack 3 vehicle in front of the building.

something like this can enter the plot comfortably:
three bedroom each : 12ft x 12ft
three toilet each : 4 x 8ft
kitchen : 8ft x 8ft
dining : 8ft x 8ft
living room : 16 x 14ft
store : 4 x 4ft

total floor area = 1024square feet
plot size = 2000square feet

percentage built up area = 51.2%
its becoming over-density, it should be 40%used area n 60% unused

Using 10cm ceiling strip, you'll need 22 lengths including joints. 36 length without joints but there'll be offcuts to use in other areas.

Using 20cm ceilings strip, you'll need 11 length including joints. 18 lengths without joints but there'll be offcuts to use in other areas.

In all honesty, that I cannot say but I do know 1.6m is too much for plastering a 4 flat (labour only) in Ibadan.

Get an option quote as suggested by Twinskenny and give your own budget to the builder. Me think 200 - 250 per flat is still a very fair deal in Ibadan. A mouthwatering one sef.

I'm not sure you know that your material cost for rendering the house (whatever size it may be) is just about half of the labour cost.
