COST of Building a 5 Bedroom Duplex in Nigeria + Building Plan | Flo Finance

[@HispleMedia]

Flo, I have watched a tone of videos on building because I'm beginning to think of building, none has been as comprehensive and straight to the point as this. Thanks for sharing this

[@theblackfortresslebaobab6606]

This is by far the most comprehensive presentation I’ve seen so far on building in Nigeria . Thanks for sharing your knowledge.🙏🏾

[@squaner1]

Trust Flo, she is an engineer. Kudos to you, Flo. You don't know how many people you are helping with this video. - I am one of them.

[@FlorenceO-kn5in]

Flo my sake, you're an epitome of an all-around efficiency. You're a really genius. You're a true reflection of what ur name means, light. Your video is a masterpiece, quite educative, an eye-opener, informative, and insightful. Keep the ball rolling

[@theman-m7o]

I have watch 100’s of video This is the best video on building in Africa I have watched. I’m from Ghana living outside 👏🏾

[@gaanihunwokorie5395]

Flo my sister, I do enjoy watching your videos as they are very educative. Despite your busy schedule, you still make out time to do all these research and help a lot of us that are in diaspora. Thanks Sis.

I appreciate your recognition of what it takes to put these videos together. ❤ Thank you. ❤

[@omohaugochukwu9177]

Thank you dear

[@gaanihunwokorie5395]

Thank you very much my sister, this video is really going to save me a lot of money as I now know the exact cost or at least the approximate cost of these materials. This will help me and my wife in the project we are about to start in Owerri.

[@teetee2812]

I'm building a three-story house in the Lagos Lekki area (two stories-Naija). I just completed the pile foundation, and I got stuck. The expense was staggering and unrealistic, as I live in the diaspora. If you ask me, it was just too crazy. I abandoned the project for my sanity for now. Perhaps I may resume after watching your video.

[@ABDULRAZAKIDRIS-w7y]

Its why you need a good quantity surveyor, to always estimate your project before venturing into projects, all those contractors go jst dey demand anyhow...well Goodluck

[@FloFinance]

Please take it one safe stage at a time so you will get to the finish line in one piece. A housing project is not an easy one. More grease to your elbows.

[@Norbert4ty5828]

If it is for a personal home go ahead when you can. But if you are building for rent or Airbnb forget about getting back the money you will use to build the house. A better option is to put that dollars in a high interest dollar account and it will grow through the power of compound interest. $31250 @ 5% annual interest will compound to $64966 in 15 years. $31250 (50,000,000 @ 1600 per dollar). If you use 50,000,000 to build and get 1,000,000 as rent a year. It will take you 50 years to get back your 50,000,000. And it won’t be the same value because of inflation , naira devaluation and maintenance costs over the years.

[@iyanuoluwaakinyemi7820]

I see professionalism in this video. Good job.

[@peteruzoma5577]

Flo, you did well in this video, congratulations! I have been into what you are describing here continously since the past 15 years; there is reasonable underestimation; above all you should have pushed in the cost of labour using one city or average of some cities... Presently the cost of labour for the house you are describing will come to an average of about N4.5M for that stage. I apploud your effort. From my recent calculations/experiences, putting up the house you are describing, to the roof cover stage in the SE, Owerri in particular, will cost about N40M! So, congratulations on the presentation!

Thank you. ❤

[@linzicont1631]

Awesome job for providing very important and useful information 👍. My father a senator in first republic unwisely built one of these mansions in the village and we hate going to the village because we whole day clean dust. And this includes maids and cooks helping and these days no one goes to the village except 2 a year or when a close relationship dies. As an architect when I tell people our experience and to build a small villa they don't agree and think I'm envious. Today we have mansions everywhere in the villages with over grown weed. In my humble opinion this is waste of resources hard earned money.

[@RecklessAbandonZ]

Someone that thinks like me. I wanted to build a 5 bedroom duplex in my village but due to the fact I live outside Nigeria I've decided to build a 4 bedroom bungalow with penthouse. My dad always use to say building a big house is one thing, maintaining a big house is another thing.

[@FloFinance]

@RecklessAbandonZ 4 bedroom bungalow with penthouse you say? I bet you the cost of yours won't be far off from the cost of a 5 bedroom house.

[@RecklessAbandonZ]

@FloFinance Really? I'd say just decking the house alone and the finishes will make a significant difference in prices.

[@FloFinance]

@RecklessAbandonZ let's leave finishing aside because in both cases, it depends on one's taste. For just the skeletal part ... because you have everything on the same floor, that your bungalow is surely bigger than the ground floor of this house. That's how your roof will also take more sheets than this one. Then that your penthouse will need a decking, stairs, no? 😂😆Leave matter. I have seen several times where people wanted to build a bungalow thinking it will be cheaper, by the time they see that there's not much difference between a bunglaow "of their taste" and a storey building, they kukuma built a storey building. People tend to overcompensate when building a bungalow thereby adding to the overall cost.

[@RecklessAbandonZ]

Labour costs, logistics, cost of loading and off loading trucks, omo onile tax in the neighbourhood for allowing your trucks to pass, cost of pipe work and plumbing, electrical material costs, soak away? Drainage nko? Cost of borehole? Before we start finishing and discussing windows, gates, doors, ceiling boards, fitting and fixtures, etc. Omo, these numbers are very, very, very conservative.

[@louisokoroji9240]

Those 16mm at 17,000 naira, most likely 12mm if you measure its diameter with calliper. So much building collapse by thinking that what those rods are called is what it is. No. Very few measure diameter and strength of rods. Many engage quarks and end up getting a non durable house, or a total collapse. So is also the 12mm, which most likely would be 10mm when measured. Standard control is an issue. Before someone can actually determine the proper cost of a building, there must be Architectural, Structural, Electrical and Mechanical drawings. Structural drawings is the backbone of building safety and stability. The same square meter of a building can cost double or triple, depending on soil conditions and quality of build.

[@soniaosula4299]

can 20 18 and 16mm rods be used instead ?

[@maryagbeke1250]

I think it depends on where you are building your house. Land alone in my area in Lagos now costs between #30,000,000 and 50M, that’s just the beginning, the paperwork also are in stages, by the time you finished with the Paperwork, you are talking of another Millions it depends on the type of house you are building and your area. To build in the Village is the best. I don’t regret building in Lagos at all but I am telling you the truth, it is financially draining and very expensive and stressful. When I started, I thought it an easy thing until when I started, in fact, I can boldly say that it’s God that finished the house. It took me three years to finish the two story building but the end is Wow!!!❤❤❤

[@mariagomes9882]

Building a house is not an easy process

[@bodeade21]

Good thought. But building in Lagos is a better investment than building in your village. If you decide to sell the house, which location do you think will give you a return on your property - village house or Lagos house?
