Most of the things you listed have cheaper alternative.

It all depends on your taste for finishing and decorations.if you want a standard and quality materials that 50m will not be enough...the following factors actually determine how the money will be dispense
1. The individual handling your project ( forget all those saying you should handle and supervise the project yourself, the truth is it will cost you more if you do that . because if you eventually make an error , whosoever you will call to make amendment for the corrections will over bid you cause you will have no choice.the best is to pick different option of contractor and let the submit their bid trust me you will feel relax.)
2. Go for material that are not too expensive but has durability confidence, example for doors instead of going for high yield steel or aluminum door go for well finished wooden doors, also instead of going for marble tiles go for ceramic tile will nice design,instead of going for conduit electrification laying, transverse you cabling internally in the ceiling and walls.,for the roofing minimize the taper angle and height of the kings pole,you can even settle for flat roofing ,so many ways to reduce cost.
3.avoid giving your project to bricklayer handle ,you will end of spending unforseen expenses trust me...I have handle so many projects that was initially handled by those bricklayer,some out of pity to the client I prefer solution without complete alterations to the already done project... imagine a client call for urgent help on his already built house due to excessive water sipage from the foundation,,the foundation was so bad that differential settlement of the build load( weight ) casing crack on the walls.definite such project need total reconstruction but client are are always sober because of the double expenses. Just saying this because of those saying you should handle the project your self or maybe employed the service of ordinary artisans....

How wise you are that jowizaza is a representative example! It's actually ignorant to say a regular duplex costs that much. N60 to N70 million is Ok for a 6-bedroom duplex.

Note: This costing is subject to reduction or addition based on inflation, market situation, quality of materials and type of expertise engaged

Lets investigate this costing:

1. The foundation trench you are excavating for a typical 3bedroom flat is roughly 88m.
So looking at this item
Excavation for Foundation: ₦700,000

it means you are excavating 1metre of the foundation trench for about 8k!!! Haba!

2. Let's try the cost of block-wall
Wall Construction (Blocks, Mortar, and Labor): ₦8,000,000

the length of the foundation trench is around 88metre see sample in the attached
The number of blocks required for a typical 3bedroom would be
(88/0.45) = 195.5 (each course of blocks)
Foundation (3 coach)
up to lintel (9 coach)
up to roof beam (3 coach)
in summary 195.5 x (3+9+3) = 2933.3 blocks
Note that I did not remove door and window spaces. I left that to for bad and damaged blocks

You need about 1bag of cement to set 50blocks so the number of cement for block setting
2933.33/50 = 58.66 bags
price of cement is around 10k/bag, blocks is around 650h/block
So for block setting minus sand, water, transport and labour you need
2933.33 x 650 (blocks) + 58.66 x 10000 = NGN2.49m
We have covered about 70% of this cost for blocks and cement yet the poster is budgeting NGN8m for this

3 Also for POP ceiling it is roughly 12k/sqm
Ceiling Work (POP or PVC): ₦1,500,000
11m x 11m x 12000 = NGN1.45m

4 Also for tiling is roughly 12k/sqm
Tiling (Floor and Walls): ₦3,000,000
11m x 11m x 12000 x 25% for walls and skirtings = NGN1.8m as against NGN3m!!!


Verdict: This bill is highly overpriced!

An idea cost for pop of 3 beds is needed.
The building has anteroom and each bedroom has its toilet.... Thanks you.

I would like to also know how much the artisan do charge like per day or for full building because the fund on ground isn't that much.

Location is south west.... No Lagos and Ogun states estimations
