How Much Will A 5 Bedroom Duplex Cost? by amagunnerfan: 2:51pm On Sep 11, 2016 |
I recently bought a piece of land in a very good location in Abeokuta. In the process of getting the building plan approval. I intend to build a 5 bedroom duplex on the land but want to get ideas of how much it will likely cost me. I am a bit inexperienced but have my father in law and my uncle running the errands for me. My inital budget was 9 million but my father in law said it won't be enough. How much do Nairalanders think it will cost? I intend to finish this project within 6 months GOD willing. 15 Likes 4 Shares |

Budget N25 million upwards depending on the size of the building and the level of finishings. I'm a Quantity Surveyor, part of my job is to prepare Bills of Quantities which is a detailed breakdown of all the items and costs involved in your project. Its also part of my expertise to manage building projects, so we can manage your artisans & sub-contractors to achieve a successful project. By the way, I come from Abeokuta. See my signature below for my contact details if you're interested. Regards. 56 Likes 5 Shares |

amagunnerfan:Depending on your taste, but a 5bedroom duplex will cost minimum of 25million. Dont let anyone deceive you that abeokuta isnt expensive to build, just came back from there and the materials are just like everywhere elsr, the only difference is that labour might be cheaper compare to abuja or lagos. which side of abeokuta is the plot. You can pm me for further discussion, I should be there later in the month. and i can show you some of my recent works. 11 Likes 2 Shares |

Now since I've stated a breakdown to a point let's take it to finishing so there will be an idea of the amount to complete the project. Pop:800k Tiles 1.3m Doors,800k making the entrance door 350k and others 450k Electrical and fitting 600k Plumbing and fitting 900k Cabinet and wardrobe 700k Rail and burglary 700k Painting 600k soakaway 300k Total of this is 6.7m+14.5m=21.2m Which I know is on the high side to me I believe with 19m the project can be delivered 52 Likes 4 Shares |

@POSTER dont be discouraged, with 9m u can finish a 5 room duplex,what would be left wont be much, it all depends on the design and the person handling it. most times people take advantage of our ignorance. i was opportuned to witness the building of a 4room duplex,(since january) the site engr is a christian brother, who was very honest to the point that he had serious battles with the carpenters and iron benders who came to do roofing and finishing. these guys where over billing the owner in excess of over 50% of the original cost,they do this mainly by over estimating the materials quoted for the job.outside the decking and foundation, a duplex is just a normal structure. the extra cost of decking and foundation wont be more than 3-4m. dont be deceived. so far we have spent about 8m. we have roofed and paid for iron fittings, plumbing and electricals have also been done. the only major thing remaining is plastering and p.o.p. just like someone earlier posted 2.2m for block work from foundation to decking, thats over estimating excessively. the issue is, if u know nothing about buildings, then am sorry u would get ripped off. if possible ,do extensive background checks by URSELF before embarking on any project....nairaland has so many threads that would teach u many things about building. and if u can ,always visit ur site, or have a trustworthy person supervise for u if u aint around. finishing also matters.......if u are not tiling ur walls front and back with expensive tiles or skreding evry wall or installing jacuzzi's in evry toilet ,baba.....9m will almost do it. 75 Likes 5 Shares |

amagunnerfan: No problem,...though I can tell you that I was even trying to be mild with the N25m I mentioned which should be for basic finishing.... I just completed a Bills of Quantities this week, requested for by a contractor for his client for a similar duplex at New Oko-Oba, Agege, here in Lagos. The total sum came to N58 million based on the current price of cement....external works which comprise fence, interlocking paving stones, septic tank, soakaway pit, water tank gantry, drainage, etc cost a bit over N9 million (it was part of the N58 million)...of course, finishing differs from one building to the other. If the client decide to carry out that project using direct labour and not a contractor, he would spend at least N46-48 million on materials and labour, excluding supervision if he required it. 1 Like 2 Shares |

eghosajohnny: Bros, you say N21.2 or N19 million will complete the building in the picture you posted...with or even without the present cost of cement? Please don't mislead the OP because I know that if he engages you on the premise of N21.2 OR N19 Million, we are sure to hear stories that touch when the time comes..This isn't the 1st or 5th time its happening on Nairaland. How did you even determine the costs....have you visited the site to ascertain the topography/soil conditions and thus the height and nature of the foundation that you said would cost N1.8million Even the foundation of my bungalow and BQ in Abuja cost N2.1 million altogether with direct labour (it was on a sloppy land) but was still that cheap because aggregates (sand, granite, hardcore) are far cheaper in Abuja than in Lagos or the south west. Not to talk of the foundation of a 5-bedroom duplex. Please get your facts right and don't mislead the OP!! 36 Likes 2 Shares |

olumide4christ:you actually beat me to this, I've been observing most of his posts for sometimes but I just chose to ignore them, how can a professional give a bill without design, measurement, site visitation, market survey to ascertain price of materials in the area and specifications. I believe he just try and give a very low quote to get jobs then claims for variation in the course of execution. Even an experienced Q.S like yourself cannot prepare bills without documents. 5 Likes 1 Share |

erico2k2: You Nairaland builders are a bunch of thieves. "N9M will only get you to window level downstairs". Are you serious?!!. I will never hire a builder from NL. They are all thieves targeting Nigerians in the Diaspora. Op, don't listen to this greedy bastard. With N5m you can conveniently get to Lintel level downstairs. I did it with that and was hugely ripped off as well by the builders and the suppliers. An honest bricklayer later confessed to me that when I order for 500 blocks, 300 will be supplied and laid before I show up. Making it impossible for me to accurately count the number. With rigourous supervision it could have cost me N4m. NEVER TRUST ALL THESE SO CALLED BUILDERS, ENGINEERS AND CONTRACTORS HERE. 60 Likes 6 Shares |

amagunnerfan: You can complete it with N16m even with the current price of cement. Just be there and monitor things yourself. Buy materials yourself and hire and independent engineer to supervise. Do not give any builder cash to build and deliver. They will make a minimum of N5m on your head, especially when they know you have access to Dollar or Euro. They work as a cartel here on NL and back each other up with the outrageous price quotation to make you believe it's genuine. A well trained craftsman can deliver a quality 5 bedroom duplex. Just do some research yourself and work with him. It's your house and you have the final decision. 36 Likes 3 Shares |
