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.

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.

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!

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!!!❤❤❤

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.

@FloFinance2 ай бұрын
@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.
