your drawing has no dimension, and are you sure your plot will take this building? if yes, pm me for more discussion

Like others have said, it depend on your design, taste and finishing. I am presently working on one, my brother is by his Grace considering the cost of things now. Things I can remember cos at a point I lost count on keeping record. 4 bedroom bungalow with two sitting rooms, all room ensuit and big kitchen.

Total sqm is 200.

Roofing using longspan .45mm , wood and labour including transport=980k

POP= 3500*200= 700k
Window casement and burglaries= 630k
Conduct and Wiring plus labour= 600k but wire was stolen so I will have to do the wiring again
Tiles plus labour= 1m
4500 blocks @ 170 = 765k
Laying of block= 247k
Plastering in and out= 320k
Casting of parapet ( cement,granite, iron rod, wood and labours) =580k

Garman floor= cannot remember how much

Total numbers of cement used for foundation, laying of blocks, plastering, cement for tiles. Not included cos I cannot remember again.

Toilet seats= 5 @ 65k= 325k
Doors for toilets with store = 6 @ 23k=138k
Internal room doors with kitchen = 6@30=180k
Wall screeding 300 Sam @ 300= 90k excluding materials
Exit doors 2 (3ft) @ 85k each and 4ft @120k =290k excluding installation

Also mechanical (plumbing work) forgotten amount spent

Soak away, facing security house. Cannot remember amount spent.



I and am still trying to finish.

Thank u @kenazuu for your time. You mentioned you used 4500 blocks. Was that from foundation to roof. Thank you and I'm so happy for you

Is it reasonable to dig a foundation with 45000 thousand naira. the guy drawing my plan say that will be the amount for a 4bedroom bungalow . And also he says it cost 55naira to set one block. is it cheaper to buy blocks than moulding. Please everyone I need your contribution. Thank you for your time.

Politicowizard:
It will roughly take 6000 blocks which will cost 720,000. Sand will take about 15 trips which will cost 225000. Gravel will be 6 trips for foundation, concrete oversight and lintels, cols. Cost will be 150000.
Cement for concreting and walling will take Upto 140 bags =266000.
Formwork, binding wire, nails =100000. Formwork are reusable.
Labour cost =800,000
Other contingencies =50,000
Total=2,211,000

Roofing materials not included because it depends on the type of roofing sheet the user may go for.

very logical and incisive .
the amount should be enough up to" carcass level" then the finishing level depends on ones taste

very wrong advice.
it is far cheaper to mold your own block.
one bag of cement gives about 30pcs block ,I can't recollect the exact amount I spent on the labour for brick layer .but over all it was far cheaper molding my own block.

you can check post on my building experience on this forum and the project was exactly as yours... 4bed room bungalow

thank you @chukazu and others for your contribution. I really appreciate men like you taking out time keeping people informed. As said by chukazu, I calculated that moulding blocks is really cheaper than buying. but is it reasonable to pay someone 8k for moulding 10 bags of cement. please I look forward to you guys reply. Thanks once again.

the calculation should be based on " a Day's job"

and in if you calculate a day wage , the bricklayer should be able to exhaust the 10 bags of cement in two days and so 5k should be a good wage for the duration

as much as possible, do more of direct labour... what I mean, I had an experience where someone quoted 120k for plastering the house ,I tried negotiations and the least offer I had was around 90k

but some1 suggested we hire labourers and pay them on daily basis which I did, at the end I ended up spending about 45k

now that is massive.
so don't pay base on contract but on direct labour with maximum supervision

Thanks chukazu for the reply. Please the attached below is the quotation given me from foundation to dpc. Is this okay guys. Thank you.

Here is the estimate

mould your own block. Pegging is 8k, digging and pouring should be 8 persons at 3500 each. Laying of blocks is 50 naira per block

Thank you so much for this insight. I just discussed with the guy that I have made my research and he was so surprised. And he has agreed to do the work based on your quote. Is so surprising how people exploit their fellow man. Thank you guys for the response!!!

Thanks to you guys. Foundation went so well. Is funny how people try to exploit you but thanks to you guys for your contribution.
Now that the foundation is done, does anyone know the cost of digging a 10 feet soakaway. Someone told me 70k. I was thinking of digging the soak away so I can use the sand for filling. Secondly, how many tipper load of sand will be needed for the filling. My foundation is really high (5 coach of block).
At this stage, how much should move the progect from the foundation to lintel level. It has 8 pillars because of parapet.
Thanks again to you guys. Persons like me really appreciate your Precious time and contribution

please guys, what is the cost of german floor and how important is it. thank you once again!

SEOManiac:


Seriously, see people shouting 15m and 20m, and I'm surprised.

Something of 5m... If it goes past 5, then obviously, the OP is furnishing with top choice materials.

My friend just moved in 6 bedrooms duplex last month. Total cost 19m, out of which land was 4.5m and roofing was 4m.

He also interlocked the compound, and built a security house, all in the said 19m. I was completely involved in the whole process. Even lighting and chandeliers were up to 1m.

How much then can a 4bd bungalow cost? With moderate finishing?

So Bros this your friend used 9.5 million (that is excluding 4.5m for land, 4m for roof and 1m for lights) to build, plaster, paint, tile, interlock, put amenities in a 6bed duplex?
Please there is a lot you are not telling us. Give us a rough breakdown of how that was achieved. I ask because am directly involved in my own low cost build.

Please was the cost of casting a lintel (4 bedroom bungalow with 8 pillars). Labour and material included. Also I will also like to have an idea of the cost of a roof parapet. The bags of cement needed and also the rod. Thank you everyone for your help. You guys have been so helpful.
