The cost of building a five-storey building in Nigeria

Most times, the house owners have little or no knowledge of the cost of their building. This article was written to get full details on the cost of a five-storey building in Nigeria.

Remember that the cost calculation differs from the site where the house would be erected.

To erect a five-storey building in Nigeria,  you have to consider the  factors, which are as follows:

Location of the property: The amount spent to transport the materials used for the building is unique. It depends on the distance. For instance, you want to erect your building in Lagos State, and your property is located in Akwa Ibom State. You could see that it will cost you more money than the person whose property is in the same state.

Cost of building materials around the site: The cost of building materials varies on where you want to erect your house. We have urban and rural areas. The cost of building materials is cheaper in the village. But you would not like to live in a village. You will bring it to the town to feel comfortable and still run your business enterprises. Because of these reasons, you will spend more money buying building materials.

 

Quality of building materials: Good quality building material costs more but lasts longer, while inferior building materials are less expensive but it doesn’t last. You have the rest to choose the one you want. But remember that when you buy cheaper building materials for building, your house might collapse during heavy wind. But if you go for good quality ones, you spend more money which is very decent.

 

Charges of professionals: Charges vary on the builders’ competency and time spent on the work. To build a five-story building, you need to hire professionals that will not make mistakes. Not everyone knows how to build story houses. That is why you’re for competent ones.  But you will pay more money to professionals than to amateur builders.

 

Height at which the house might attain:  A 5 storey house is higher than a four-storey house which may require more blocks and facilities.

All these factors affect the cost of building a five-storey building.

To build a five-storey building, the first thing you do is purchase land. The cost of the land varies from the location. Suppose it is in towns like Abuja, Port Harcourt, etc., you keep thirty to forty million naira. The house should not be compacted. You would like to have a swimming pool, playground, etc., that makes your place enjoyable. Lands are cheaper in villages. If you want to erect in a village like urum in awka, at least between  thirty to thirty five million  naira ,can get you a land in an already developed area, depending on the plots of land you need.

This breakdown involves the cost of land. It doesn’t include mechanical or electrical requirements, finishes and construction as a whole.

After purchasing your land in the desired location.

Then you consider these factors mentioned above. You look into the designs of building includes:

Formwork design (#60,000 to #100,000)

Staircase design (# 40,000 to #70,000)

 

Deep beams ( #30,000 to #40,000)

Slabs ( 200,000 to 500,000)

building constructions like:

Excavation, layout and foundation.

Column casting.

Slab, beam, shuttering and casting.

Keys in columns.

Expansion joint.

Water bar

Binding materials.

Before all these are taken care of, you might spend close to 3 million naira. Before cement was sold as 2500 as of five years ago, the cost of cement has increased to #5000 and above, which varies on the place you got it.

If you already own a land, then expect to spend anywhere between thirteen to fifteen million naira and presently in Nigeria. If the land size is three hundred  to six hundred Square meters ,your professional approach to it matters.

 

Usually there will be basements over a large area because of underground construction if you like. You can add like #500,000 for the underground floors of 500 meters each.

To build a 5 storey building varies a lot.

According to my Intensive research, i discovered that it would take an average range of thirty  to thirty five  millions of naira before you could erect a very attractive 5 storey building.

After building, you would like to paint it which can cause you not less than #500,000 only if you prefer quality paints.

 

Conclusion

Erecting a 5 storey building requires a considerable amount of money. It takes time as well. Build it also need a competent worker who can give you want you to want. If you hire unskilled workers, they might end up giving you what you don’t need in your building. The cost varies depending on the person and the location of the building.
