Total Estimated Cost๐๐
Avoid parapet to curtail cost
Handle the foundation stage differently to maximize cost too, many spend so much here,some foundation can work very well without some structural expenses๐
Avoid forms and sharps that demand a lot to achieve
Avoid some roofing sheet and if possible go for flat roof
During the finishing maximize and prioritize some space more and not all,yes give all a good touch but in some spaces donโt spend so much on expensive tiles
๐PLS ITโS HIGHLY IMPORTANT TO NOTE:
That the cost estimates of building in Nigeria๐ณ๐ฌ or anywhere in the world varies, it depends 0n various factors such as your preferences, location, land/soil type, design, sizes, time, market fluctuations and finishing choice.
Therefore,cost of building a house can never be fixed. Meaning it can be more than or less than the estimates here but not far from it. Itโs just t0 roughly guide you during planning.
