Considering the high cost of building materials today in Nigeria, how much should one budget for such project.

This will certainly run into millions

How did you know? Should 1M be okay with the first building, I'm down for it.

isn't that too much?

I think 5m should be enough for everything

10-13M

My brother I think this house is about 2 rooms and a parlor kitchen toilet and bathroom? Now my brake down
Block 2000*400= 800000
Cement for all works =8000*100=800000
Roofing 1300000
Rod 200000
Stone 120000
Tiles 400000
Plumbing 400000
Eletrical work surface 250000
Doors 250000
Windows 480000
Ceiling =200000
Workmanship for all 800000
And other little expenses like just budget about 6.5 to finish it. But this is just an estimate so don't get discouraged u can just start with whatever u have.

If you intend to build a house, please don't waste your money building 2 bedrooms and a parlour. Try make it up to 3 bedrooms and a parlour.

I appreciate all the comments, thanks people

God1000:


What are you going to use 8000 bags of cement for? That's too much

8000naira per bag. He wrote 100 bags

okay

Between 20 million - 30 million depending on the finishing you want

Budget about 6-7 million
you will spend nothing less than 2m to take it from foundation to lintel

Emilokanomic Lawa Ooo, I am not a builder Ooo.
I was told from lintel to finishing at basic level is around 6million naira

Budget 9 million for the parlour and 2 bedrooms
minus cost of land o. Used to be 1 million per room but with current inflation, budget 3m per room.

You must not have all the money to start but this is too small make it 3 or 4 rooms . Put in 1.5m yearly and you can complete in 3 to 5 yrs

It all depends on finishing, if you want a basic house it will cost way less without all those modern facilities in houses (No pop, tiles only in sitting room, normal wooden doors, normal ceiling, you can cut out alot when on tight budget).

Yeah if one can't build it once one can do it gradually only disadvantage is price of things this year will not be the same next year

.

Depends on the location.

The usual stupid question on Nairaland.

Una no dey tire?

4 million naira

1m you are funny bro.
Wiring alone will take about 600k plus for that house alone.

Give or take just budget around 8 plus.

It all depends on the standard you want to portray;


You can spend 4 to 5m (manageable setting).

You can spend 8m on better standard, and you can still spend 10m + that's on a proper government allocated land plus building approval!


The way you spend in setting up the place will determine the activities you'll spend inside it.
