Do you want to know the cost of building a 3-bedroom bungalow in Nigeria? This article is for you. So many people visit the web to know the cost of building a 3-bedroom bungalow in Nigeria but get disappointed most of the time. Only a few articles exist on the subject topic and rarely have details. In this article, you will get full details on the cost of building a 3-bedroom bungalow in Nigeria.

Most times when people hear about the cost of building a 3-bedroom bungalow in Nigeria from friends, they get scared. The cost they get to hear runs into tens of millions at some point. Honestly, you can build a 3-bedroom bungalow for as much as N50,000,000, or as low as N5,000,000. Sometimes the estimate even goes below the latter. This cost is affected by several factors ranging from:

  • Location of the property.
  • Cost of building materials.
  • Quality of building materials.
  • Charges of professionals as it varies.

It may cost you more when building your 3-bedroom bungalow but below is the estimated cost for a standard 3-bedroom bungalow in Nigeria. The breakdown involves the cost of the actual construction and not the preliminaries of the construction.

Before you begin construction, you must have acquired a piece of land. See DOCUMENTS REQUIRED FOR LAND PURCHASE IN NIGERIA. Also, before the construction process, there are steps needed to be taken in building a house in Nigeria. These steps involve architects and related building engineers. Look at the processes for BUILDING A HOUSE IN NIGERIA.

Cost of Building a 3 Bedroom Bungalow in Nigeria 2025 (Updated)

Before you dig earth, make sure you have all required APPROVED documents for the construction process, viz a viz:

  • Architectural drawings.
  • Structural drawings.
  • Mechanical drawings.
  • Electrical drawings.

Some people break the earth without some of these drawings and hope everything turns out fine. That is a wrong mentality. Please follow the right process.

The image below is a recently designed 3-bedroom bungalow that is used as a basis for this calculation. All costs on the page are related to the design below. The cost on this page is a factor of the design, hence any changes will alter the cost.

In calculating the cost of building a 3-bedroom bungalow in Nigeria, it is advisable to break down the construction process into stages. This is the norm and is actually helpful in planning your progress. For a bungalow, we can split the construction stages into:

  • Foundation (German floor) / Soak-away Stage.
  • DPC to lintel level Stage.
  • Roofing Stage.
  • Plastering / Finishing Stage.

Cost of Foundation (German Floor) / Soak-away Stage

This is the first stage of construction and it includes setting out, digging, concrete work, block laying, backfilling, and flooring as the processes in this stage.

Material Requirements for Setting out with profiles

  • Site clearance = NGN 52,500
  • Materials for setting out = NGN 150,450
  • Labour = NGN 53,100

Estimated cost of setting out = NGN 256,050.00

Material Requirements for Digging / Excavation

  • Labour for trench excavation = NGN 140,000
  • Pit excavation = NGN 12,500

Estimated cost of digging = NGN 152,500.

Material Requirements for Concrete work / Blinding

For a standard foundation of 150 mm base-thickness, assuming 0.45m (breadth or height) and 85.5m (entire length) = 5.77125 m3

  • 10 bags of cement @ NGN 4,600 each = NGN 46,000
  • 20 tonnes of sand x 2 = NGN 80,000
  • 20 tonnes of Granite = NGN 140,000
  • We don鈥檛 need reinforcements (Iron bars) because the soil is good, firm, and dry.
  • Liters of water as needed.
  • Labour = NGN 25,000

The estimated cost of concrete work = NGN 291,000.

Material Requirements for Laying Foundation Blocks

Using 9-inch blocks and laying 4 coaches, you will need

  • 12 bags of cement @ NGN 4,600 each = NGN 55,200
  • 644 pieces of 9-inch vibrated blocks (including 10 percent wastage) @ NGN 200 each = NGN 128,800
  • Plumbing work = NGN 25,000
  • The remaining sand from concrete work will be used here.
  • Labour = NGN 35,000

The estimated cost of laying foundation blocks = NGN 244,000.

Material Requirements for Filling

I suggest digging the soak-away and septic tank alongside making the foundation so that the soil dug up from the soak-away pit, septic tank, and well can be used for backfilling. This will save you the cost of buying some tons of sand for foundation filling and also save you the cost of clearing the dug-up soil where it is unused.

After filling the foundation, water it for about 10 hours and leave it for days (or some weeks) before flooring for natural compaction. In the end, you might need to buy just a few tons of sand if the soil dug up from the well and septic tank is not enough.

Assuming you buy:

  • 3 nos 20 tonnes laterite (fairly clayey) at NGN 18,000 = NGN 54,000
  • Labour = NGN 10,000

Estimated cost of filling foundation = NGN 64,000

Material Requirements for Foundation Casting / Flooring

  • 25 bags of cement @ NGN 4,600 = NGN 115,000
  • Waterproof / nylon = NGN 15,000
  • The remaining granite and sand from concrete work will be used here.
  • Labour = NGN 18,000

Estimated cost of flooring = NGN 148,000

Material Requirements for Septic Tank, Soak-away pit and Well

The septic tank, soak-away pit, and well should be constructed first in order to have water for the work and sand for filling the foundation later.

  • 700 pieces of 6-inch vibrated blocks @ NGN 170 / block (for a septic tank of 3m x 3m x 3m) = NGN 119,000.
  • 22 bags of cement @ NGN 4,600 = NGN 101,200 (including plastering).
  • Number of well-rings as required.
  • Sand and granite from concrete work will be used here.
  • Labor for septic tank, soak-away pit, and well = NGN 80,000

The estimated cost of constructing both the septic tank, soak-away, and well = NGN 300,200.

Total Estimated Cost for this stage = NGN 1,076,600 (excluding the cost of wellrings).

Cost of Construction From Damp Proof Course (D.P.C) To Lintel Level

This is the next stage in the construction process and begins where the German floor ends. It covers the main block work including wall partitions for the various spaces in the house. The materials listed below are just estimates of what you get in a modest 3-bedroom flat. Again, ensure you get a Bill of Quantities for your building plan as that’s the only way to know the exact material requirements for your house. This stage ends at the roof level.

Material Requirements and Labour for Block work

  • 2100pcs of 6-inch stone dust vibrated blocks @ NGN 170 = NGN 357,000.
  • (The cost increases when you use 9-inch blocks)
  • 15 tonnes of sharp sand = NGN 40,000
  • 30 bags of cement @ NGN 4,600 = NGN 138,000
  • Labour = NGN 120,000

Estimated cost of block work = NGN 655,000. (This includes the two coaches of blocks after lintel)

Material Requirement for Lintel Casting

  • 20 length of 12mm rod @ NGN 2,100 / length = NGN 42,000
  • 10 length of stirrups @ NGN 500 / length = NGN 5,000
  • 35 length of 1 x 12 x 18 wood @ NGN 1,700 / length = NGN 59,500
  • Nails plus wire for binding = NGN 13,000
  • 8 bags of cement @ NGN 4,600 = NGN 36,800
  • Remaining sand will be used here.
  • The remaining granite from concrete work is used.
  • Labour plus carpenter = NGN 30,000

The estimated cost of the lintel level = NGN 186,300

Estimated Total Cost for this stage = NGN 841,300.

Cost of Roofing 3 Bedroom Bungalow Stage

The cost of roofing varies with the type of roofing materials and design you choose to use. The cost given below represents 0.45 mm thick aluminum roofing sheets. The true cost of all stages remains that shown on the bill of quantity document.

Material Requirements for Roofing

  • 320 length of 2 x 3 x 12 wood @ NGN 450 = NGN 144,000
  • 45 length of 2 x 6 x 12 @ NGN 840 = NGN 38,250
  • 25 length of 1 x 12 x 12 wood @ NGN 1,400 = NGN 35,000
  • 1/2 bag of 2-inch nails @ NGN 5,800 = NGN 2,900
  • 11/2 bags of 3-inch nails @ NGN 6,000 = NGN 9,000
  • 1/2 bag of 4-inch nails @ NGN 6,500 = NGN 3,250
  • Aluminium (0.45mm thick) roofing, transportation and Labour = NGN 685,900

Total Estimated Cost for the roofing stage = NGN 918,300.

Cost of Finishing Stage

This stage includes plastering, wiring, plumbing, fixing of windows, doors, tiles, and other essentials. The cost here varies regarding the quality of materials you use. Below is an estimate for a very modest finishing.

Material Requirements for Electrical works

  • Wires, Pipes, Conduit Boxes, etc = NGN 400,000
  • Material Requirements for Mechanical and Plumbing Works
  • Kitchen sink, Pipes, WC, Washing Hand Basin, Overhead Tank, Shower, etc = NGN 500,000

Material Requirements for Ceiling

  • Woods for nogging, P.O.P Sheets, External wood finishing, P.V.C Boards, Tank nails, etc plus labor = NGN 450,000

Material Requirements for Windows and Doors

  • Windows, doors, burglary proof, and fixtures plus labor = NGN 500,000

Material Requirements for Wall Rendering and Painting

  • Plastering and painting plus labor = NGN 500,000

Material Requirements for Floor Finishes

  • Tiles and others plus labor = NGN 250,000

Estimated Total Cost for this stage = NGN 2,600,000.

Grand Total = NGN 1,076,600 + NGN 841,300 + NGN 918,300 + NGN 2,600,000 = NGN 5,436,200

As you can see from the calculations, we arrived at a total cost of building a 3 bedroom bungalow which is below NGN 6,000,000. This involves just the construction of the 3 bedroom bungalow in Nigeria. As for the furniture fittings, you have a variety of options you can choose from. Also, clearing the site after the construction was not factored into the cost. However, the amount is not so much when put into the cost of building a 3 bedroom bungalow in Nigeria.

Thank you sir for the break down of three bed room bungalow. Sir this break down doesn't include the site supervisor which is the engineers fee on each stage. I will like to know the reasonable amount of money to pay the engineer on each stage. Please if possible give me the break down amount we should pay the supervisor on each stage because they charged heavily on each stage of the building. Thank you

    Ikenna N.
    Having a bill of quantity can help you plan your resources as the quantity and volume of work required to be done is accurately stated. Also, a program of works can help you ascertain timeline for the completion of each phase of work (item wise) so you can manage payment for labor.
Doris

Hello Pls if I get a contractor from your company And the contractor gives me a price for the project Is the price going to be fixed or is it adjustable ?? Cause I'm going to most likely take a construction loan from a bank
    Ikenna N.
    Contractors quote for projects with their profits inclusive, that is standard. However, you the client can be proactive in trying to reach a common ground with the contractor by getting a second opinion. This involves having a bill of quantity prepared by a middle party who is not interested in executing the project. We prepare estimates without profits as our own way of being transparent. The prices are not fixed as they vary across various locations. Take, for instance, a bag of cement could cost NGN 2650 in Lagos and NGN 2800 in Port Harcourt. These are the variations in the cost you would encounter.

        This is a great write-up. So helpful and insightful. I have a few questions please.. What are the expected charges while processing the documentation of a plot of land in Ibadan. Also, what's the expected charges for the approvals of architectural drawings. Thanks for your anticipated response.
          Ikenna N.
          Thank you Tim. For the processing of land documentation in Ibadan, you will have to consult a surveyor. I think it is in the region of #50,000 - #200,000. For the expected charges on Architectural drawings approval, it is not fixed as there are factors that affect the cost. Factors like location, the volume of the building, etc.

    Beautiful and detailed information. I had to subscribe immediately. My question is: Are column footings actually necessary in a bungalow 馃彔 of 5bedrooms with two living rooms on a dry and sort of rocky two plots of land? I will quite appreciate your response. Thanks.
      ikezudon
      Thank you for subscribing Bimpe. Yes, Column footings are necessary as they transfer vertical load to the soil. The columns cannot be free standing! The good news here is they do not need to go so deep into the subsurface for your soil type. However, if you do not intend to use columns, then your walls have to be load bearing. Cheers

Pls can you give us the reasonable amount to pay the engineer on each stage just as you did on labour fee? Thank you sir and God bless you.
