Cost of Building a 2 Bedroom Bungalow in Nigeria 2023

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 destroy the earth without some of these drawings and hope for the best. That is an incorrect mindset. Please follow the steps in the correct order.

A case sample of the design indicated below was used for this analysis. We’ve merely posted rough renderings of the design to serve as a starting point for this price.

In calculating the cost of building a 2 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:

• Earthwork and excavation
• Foundation (German floor).
• DPC to lintel level Stage.
• Roofing Stage.
• Plastering / Finishing Stage.
• Painting Stage
