I'm interested in this, the input of people will go a long way,just managed to get half plot at Asaba... looking forward to build even if it is 2 rooms and parlour,i dont mind by next year...

Wow!
That is awesome.

In fact, the main reason why I put up the topic was to inspire people.
There's no better feeling than having, and living within your own space.
Wishing you all the best. 👍🏼

maidstone:


Let me shock you. 3 million is not even enough to do that roofing

I don't believe this.

Don't discourage people abeg.

elasticlala:


Shouldn’t be more than 10m if you already have the land

Stop that...

You want to bewitch people not to build?

How many pieces of blocks do you think was used to build this small property?

Not more than 1500!!

A bag of Cement(N10,000) gives you 40 strong blocks.So you need about 20 bags.

Then cement for plastering; 10 bags

Three tippers of sand(6tyres) is all the sand you need(N120,000 only for the 3 tippers,see?)

Then gravels....three trips (for blinding,for pillars and beams.N180,000)

Then Iron rods (100 lengths,different Sizes,cut and bended appropriately.N1,000,0000.)

Then Planks(Full lengths.Reused or second hand.80 pieces.(N200k all)

Then nails; different inches,measured by "PoundWeights"(N30,000).Plus binding wires!!

Then labour(Iron bender,Mason,Carpenter,labourers.N400,000k)

Then the Windows.6 Aluminium windows(N55,000k)

Then the doors. 7 Turkey doors;(Entrance door,Kitchen,2 bedroom doors,two toilet doors,one Exit door)Go negotiate that one.(N210k for all)

Then woods.The style of roofing Economises wood!!(50 length of Polline,100 length of 2 by 4.N150k all)

Then 100 lengths of longSpan Aluminium for the roof(N250k for all)

Everything is not more than N3million (apart from land) Could be cheaper..

not now. Maybe you won't roof it. If it must be of this standard then prepare 2mil and above

Sirchiboy:
Like 200k to 500k will do it and still have some change

SusanOpeyemi:
500k can build it and change will remain sef. Though it depends on the location.

NB: Na who get land dey build house na


Modified: Those of you quoting me and yapping rubbish don't know when I built my house and how much it cost me then.

Foundation along go chop 10 bags or cement, or all structures go chop nothing less than 15-20bags of cement

1bag is 10,250x20=205k

Granite, rods, sand

Blocks ba like 2,000pcsx600=1,200,000

Labor go chop like 500k or more

Zinc, wood,wiring, plumbing work, water digging is roughly 300k plus

Painting, furnishings etc

Just budget 5-10m

If change remains, fine

Generator now na like 500k, good bed na like 100k,TV na like 100k,ac na like 150k,chairs like 250k

Adewale1603:
you sure 5m go do am. With all the finishes, interior and exterior, the materials and others.

In these times where 1m looks like 100k nowadays

hehe you are very correct. I was just trolling. Things done cost. 10 million is a sure bet

Mariangeles:


I don't believe this.

Don't discourage people abeg.

I'm telling you the truth

That's a neat roofing.

Expensive

timilehin007:

You sounded like you are certain..why not just use 'at least will cost 500k'..
English no hard na common error make people like you dey fail am...I uses my English Language carefully. Was why I ed my WASSCE one sitting wit 4B's including english and C4 (2) c5 (2). I was so sure I'd that I didnt sit for Neco nor for GCE. This was 2003 o, to tell you that it wasnt mere feat. Wassce was very tough, few private secondary schools around and examination malpractice was still not as rampant like what we have these days . Did my Jamb once, post UME result was higher than what UNAD required. Lol.

Sorry bro..I just get this terrible feelings when I see people trying to compose good English and make the slightest avoidable error..plus I am high on a very cheap drug

@ bolded
What a shame
See who dey correct person English

500k can't build this house. For either a 2- or 3-bedroom house, 500k can't build it.

A standard 3-bedroom house that comes with 2 bathrooms, laundry room, storage room, and a kitchen will require at least 3400 to 4000 blocks.

The 6-inch block costs 600 naira, while the 9-inch costs 700 naira in some areas.

Blocks alone will cost over 2 million naira, not to mention cement, other materials, and workmanship.

What about land?

Yes? Do you know the meaning of present continuous tense? I doubt

AC 150k?

What's wrong with you people sef? AC that's around 600k

Mariangeles:
Professionals in the house, about how much would it cost to build a house like this?

if I hear! One million can't build this talk more of 500k . Do you have any idea how much cement is in the market? Whether you choose to buy the blocks from block industry or mold the blocks yourself you're going to spend nothing less than ₦300k. You never buy woods for roofing, roofing sheets, doors, windows, electrical wires and light fittings. Whether you decide to do tiling or just normal floor na you Sabi,all of them dey expensive. Then you're going to pay the workers unless you wan build am yourself.... If it's a day job you're going to spend nothing less than 300k, if it's a contract work it's around 300-400k If the person like you very well o. ...

This house will cost at least 3-4 million, at least o!

1 block is 750naira..3000 blocks @750 is 2,250,000naira..only block work..add other materials including water..come back and tell me ur estimate

Modified: Those of you quoting me and yapping rubbish don't know when I built my house and how much it cost me then.

when did you build your house and how much did it cost you?

It cost us around 7 million to build our mansion in the village 13 yrs ago. The fence of our house in the city fell recently, do you know how much it has cost us to erect it back? 1.4 million! And that just 45ft long fence o, we have not even plastered it yet.

₦2 million won't give you this in this country right now even if the land na your own. 15 yrs ago 500k might get you 90% of the job done , but right now only blocks will finish the whole money. Unless you're CEO of a block industry 🤷🏾‍♂️

Endymi:


Don't mind him,5million Naira will not complete that house.
That was how God saved me from one engineer that Year.
Telling me 10 million will build a two bedroom flat.

Ten million will actually build a two bedroom flat in this present economy if the land is available.
It’s all about taste and what you want. It’s possible.

BodyCount:
Few millions of naira 2-3 in this economy
The foundation alone will even cost up to 500k.

blocks alone will consume at least 1.5 million. Roofing wood and sheets will cost close to a million, windows and doors will gulp up to 500k, painting maybe 100k. Then you have to also take labour into . This house is from ₦4mil upwards.

Edit: I didn't even add electrical wiring, fittings and plumbing. If this house no cost ₦6ml make I know wetin cause am.

You are very funny sir.
I did the filling of my house, 3 bedroom and a self con at the bank for 1.8million Naira.
That's foundation filling oooo..

Geekop:
You will need a land first of and a drawing.
Then possibly a QS to estimate.

Most Nigerians don't know the current value of naira, they thought we are still in Goodluck era when things are very cheap. Naira and value now na enemy

maidstone:

"I uses my English Language carefully." 😏

See, na so English hard reach?
Do you know the meaning of present continuous tense?

3 million no fit give you this ooh. Blocks are now 500 per one. Just budget 8 million

femi4:
10 million..........................................

With that amount, I would hope to get something bigger.
That is, assuming I have my land already.

elasticlala:


Shouldn’t be more than 10m if you already have the land

You are very much in touch with reality and well updated with the current situation of things in the nation.

Mariangeles:


10 million? 😯
Isn't that much for a small house like that?


I wish every family can own at least a home like that.

. Would you settle with a man with a house like that??

TOPBOND:
This is 1 bedroom flat
3.5-4m can give you to this level

Looks like two to me ....



.....

Someone that posted this topic never buy cement or price other building materials

ifytrik:
3 million naira will be just fine if you are wise, just make sure you turn yourself to a mathematician and follow the engineer and carpenter bumper to bumper

If you like, be the engineer and carpenter and also get all the materials yourself.

The roofing of that house both interior and exterior is nothing less than N3 Million.
