Dont believe every post you see up there, some of them haven't started anything, but they are always in a hurry to comment.

stop projecting your reality on other people...

What they said is true.

Mrkumareze:
Days re gone u start building with 100k cost of materials now has gone very high...

If this is the option you opted for, you can always start your build project anytime. Regardless of the amount in your . What matters here is your determination and zeal

Immediately you are have the amount that can buy a truck of sand, buy and drop it on your site.

You can also start paying for a bag of cement each week or month with a distributor you can trust. But make sure you get a receipt for each payment you make.

There are more of similar options like the above that can be of great help to you in achieving this dream in no time but with hardwork

But to be sincere with you as a real estate consultant.

It's much cheaper and less stressful to buy a house in Nigeria than to build one.

There are houses that are available for sales in a more conducive and crime minimal location.

They are very affordable, and comes with a very flexible payment plans as low as 2million and you spread the rest in the space of 12-24months.

Some of this houses comes with c of o . While some with Governor's Consent etc

While building of home comes with so many stress, frauds and litigation etc

Mind you, either you are build or buying employing the services of a legal practitioner is very very important. The benefits cannot be overemphasised.

At the same time be mindful of fraudulent lawyers too.

I do not really have much in my when I started building. I was waiting till I muster enough fund to take the house to an appreciable level at once.

My mum asked me to borrow her N70k for her business and I did. The next thing she called to follow her to the site and I found out she has already gotten 500 pcs of blocks and 10 bags of cement. That was how we started.

She told me “You start by starting. Do all you can before your children start growing.” 1 started a year into my marriage and moved-in the next year.

I was considering starting when I have about 50% of the required fund.

Your Mom, just spoke to me and it’s not about building. “You start by starting” this is the best motivation I have heard this year. God bless her.

aribisala0:
Rich people who are truly rich never have money in their s. They tend to use other people's money.

If you measure your worth b y what is in your you are just starting

Rather ask

What is the maximum I can borrow today ? That should tell you what you are really worth
If you are on your sick bed and are owing 10 Billion Not only your family will pray for your recovery but if you have 10 billion in your your family might not pray for you to recover.

Debt is very good . IF YOU QUALIFY to get it.

Funny thing is, when some rich people explain how they made certain amount of money, I begin to wonder how they slept peacefully with that huge amount of debt to finance a project

The more I owe the sounder I sleep.
My creditors got my back with their prayers. They are praying for me so I can pay them back
Just make sure you are owing something worthwhile

It is when you are owing 5000 Naira that your creditor would hold your shirt and make noise outside your house

When you owe 50 billion they would write you a letter

Dear Sir
Sorry to disturb you but can we meet to discuss please...........

It will be enough. 700k. You buy a truckload of granite, a truck load of sharp sand, 400 to 500 blocks, 25 bags of cement, digging and labour should not exceed 90k, iron rod to do the at least four pillars and payment for iron rod bender should take 60k at most etc. 700k will make it. It won't cover german floor or filling of the foundation as that can be done later.

Ficient:
Let's be realistic, in 2022 how much is the minimum to start foundation at least. I'm hoping 500k to 700k for a 2 bedroom flat foundation

$159k

Funkybabee:
Like 70k though she had bought blocks

U can start with any amount, 50k, 80k, 200k etc

Buy the block little little and Start building it

U can starrt either foundation

70k to start a building project? How much is a trip of sharp sand.

Just start first with little and be determined...before you know it, building is almost complete

it is never cheaper to buy an already built house, but I agree with you in the less stressful aspect.

Paramount01:



I agree with u but u can also loose the capital in the course of trying to multiplied the capital.

We're getting somewhere, Lols

So look at it this way:

What is the profit potential or viability of an uncompleted building in a village compared with a viable business with potentials?

You gerrit now, I guess

martyns303:


Your Mom, just spoke to me and it’s not about building. “You start by starting” this is the best motivation I have heard this year. God bless her.

Later in life, I learnt that 10% of something good and productive is better than 100% of nothing.

figure007:
your mum is a good mum same as mine ... So also dad... They pushed me to start something before marriage and it worked ... Hmmmm house building is just with the help of God if not,it's not easy

May the Lord keep and bless them for us. I know one of my younger bro who had to take his mom to US when he wanted to start his housing project.
He said “If she’s around, we can’t succeed. I know my mom”

DaveDGreat:


God bless your mama real good. Please greet her for me. She's a super woman

She’s my superhero!

kuntash:
lol, quite funny I really cant recall.

but thanks to the Property section on Nairaland,
I was motivated by two guys then, Spyder & Iamalone ,.... one was building in Ikorodu while the other was building in the East..

I think the thread title was a "COST OF BUILDING A FIVE BEDROOM DUPLEX or Bungalow:" cant fully.

it was a hot thread and every step of the way , updates were given ,

this motivated me to start mine, and gradually as salary was coming in, I was planning every step of the way... there are tenants living in the place now - 3 sets of 2bedroom each..

whats needed is motivation, if you earn salary , you can start gradually ...

Sir kuntash of laif. Quite a long time.

Ashirioluwa:


If you don’t have bulk money in your then it is better to start doing it gradually with little you have. That was what I did for my first house. It took me 3 years to complete a 3 bedroom bungalow building. I used another one year to build the fence and borehole water.

What was the approx.cost in building the three bedroom apartment?

I got a land last year through motivation of my wife. Money I was suppose to use in getting a car sha. Foundation consumed about 600 blocks already. Main building I progress. E no easy sha .

zeenaman:
Is there a specific amount one must possess before initiating a building project given that one has a land already? Or is building something one can start small?

Building project should be properly planned so that it can be executed to finish.

Winters23:


This is one of the reason many are poor in this country...

Once they make their first money they buy land in a forest and start what they can't finish.

Money they could have grown gets buried in the ground just to belong to the "I dey build house" crew.

When I made my first millions many years ago all the advisers came out in their numbers telling me to buy land and start building, but I know that's not what I should do.

I ignored the bandwagon and kept working hard until I made my first billion naira.

I didn't have to buy any land to build, I went to the best estates in lekki and bought the best houses and I do whatever I want.

If you like tie your little capital down inside the ground and keep blaming the government for all your shortcomings in the future.

so while making that billions you were living in your Father's house or with a friend.
If you were living in a rented apartment. Calculate the cost of that apartment x the years you spent there.
Then you will see you could have built a cool one or two bedroom flat of yours.

For eg, if you make 300k per month..
Save up 100k for building project then invest 100/150. That your 100k in 3 years will be almost 4 million.. enough as at 2012 to build a 2or 3 bedroom well furnished

I'm just saying. You don't have to answer me sha but I know Godwilling even if it 200k I earn, I'll build my house first.
There is a kind of calm you feel when living in your own house. You can think of perfect investments to do

I started eleven years ago. Bought a piece of land. Did foundation, bought vibrated blocks before I knew there was issues around the land. Got another one. Then I bought sand and mould blocks. No cash to continue for almost three years. When I got small cash, when there to clear the bushes and seeing the blocks changed colour, I used them for fence and remaining to complete two shops. Was afraid of the strength of the blocks tho I was told they are still strong. Rest again. Got small money before Covid-19, mould blocks and did foundation then I rest again.
But when grace found me out, in a space of two months, bought a house last year September, did small renovations and move in in December. Ayam in tho still paying the debts. To build no easy but plan coupled with favour will make it a reality.
