n3xt: I agree with your recommendation the most except buying blocks. He ought to mold blocks since he is not in a rush; most especially when he is building on budget. I started my project by buying all sand needed to mold blocks. Then water pump and water storage tank few months later bought all estimated sands and granite I only bought irons and cements when it's time for foundation I didn't feel any pinch from German to lintel because I am only buying cement as sand and blocks are already on ground 4 Likes

erico2k2: I always encourage homeowners to hire block molding machine or make a special arrangement with those who have it when they have larger projects. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jDSch_I8MOE The huge savings is worthwhile. ______ Pics below show some of the blocks produced for our projects in various locations. I have more confidence in these blocks than most blocks in the market. Pic 1: Ibadan (16,000 pcs) Pic 2-4: Lagos (18,000 - 35,000 pcs) 1 Like

MrOkenwa: If it's for rental, people tend to love the idea of "living on top". Maybe because of they want to see more of their environment outside as most bungalows in Nigeria are fenced in like prisons. I will rent an apartment on top faster than an apartment below. 4 Likes |

MrOkenwa: Multi dwelling apartment in a very good location will bring higher ROI short and long term. - One Roof - One Foundation – Lower Maintenance Cost and Fewer Repairs – Lower Utility Bills – Shared Facilities/Amenities, such as security and fitness centers, may be included. - Lower Build Cost - Higher Occupancy Rate 2 Likes 1 Share |

MrOkenwa: I just went through this decision process. It depends on your motivation. My motivation is not primarily income (but has to generate enough to sustain itself). My motivation is to provide luxurious SmartFlats for young families. What I envisioned for my property is a Southern California style bungalow resort as opposed to a ghetto project high rise. Many of the high rise rentals here end up having too high of occupancy density. Four to sometimes twelve families on a plot of land. Good luck on your decision.

spyder880:Thank you Sir. Aside from this, what would you say about the cost of building and maintaining the structures? n3xt: Boss, what I heard was actually the other way round. I was told that maintenance may be more technical, compared to bungalow buildings. For similar level of finishing. EgunMogaji2: Thank you Sir. Your thread is very interesting. Following 1 Like |

MrOkenwa: For the same square feet it cost more to build a duplex carcass than a bungalow if all else is same. The reason why multi story are more popular in Lekki versus Elebu is the price of the land. A plot in Lekki might cost N15M so you’ll need to shove as many flats on it for a decent time to recoup the investment. Same land might be N1.5M in Elebu so the pressure is less. Maintenance on a bungalow will be less. Everything is more easily accessible and will not require extensive laddering. Maybe a QS should chime in here to give us numbers. 4 Likes |

MrOkenwa: Another thing to consider tho is the location. Where will this project be located? If in the East.. brother me, just build upstairs. ![]() Cost wise a bungalow will be cheaper.. But... considering the high cost of materials now.. it might cost between 2.5 to 3.2 m for decking but again you add a flat upstairs is an equivalent of buying another plot of land. So the flats upstairs that will give you an "additional space as another bungalow " the cost will offset itself. 4 Likes |

Badgers14: In addition: Multi-Dwelling Units/Apartments have one roof, one foundation, and one general exterior structure. Because a 6 flat spread on 3 floors have six kitchens and living areas, it'll appear more expensive when you look at the cost but if you were to consider the cost to build six separate houses, you would have the following: - 6 separate foundations including cost of acquiring the land and sandfilling - 6 separate roofs - 6 ceiling woodwork and POP ceiling (instead of screeding in a multi-dwelling building) - 6 separate wall structures This costs significantly more to build than to install a second kitchen and to divide the layout of the duplex into two equal spaces. Regardless of your location, the key housing cost drivers must therefore be targeted to drive housing cost reductions. If we are to follow the industry standard when calculating the total cost of building both house type then we will break the costs down into broad categories (land, infrastructure, construction, other costs), sub-categories (foundations, walls, roof, finishes), and into component costs (labour vs materials, cost per sqm etc). If we do this, a multi-dwelling unit is far more cheaper than single-dwelling houses. The cost of buying a new land, adding a foundation, adding a roof and ceiling can never be cheaper than the cost of pouring a slab. 2 Likes |

MrOkenwa: Smiles. Does it mean it'd cost more to maintain a building where tenants share a common expenses for the general exterior maintenance and repairs? I dont think so. For me, I think it’s better and more economical (decision wise) to develop a parcel of land and have 20 apartments share one roof, than have 20 single-dwelling housing unit with 20 roofs. There's no way that'll be cheaper in the short and long run than a multi-dwelling unit. |
