Nigeria Building Cost Estimator gives homeowners, developers, and contractors a fast, reliable way to budget any construction project — from a two-bedroom bungalow to a multi-floor commercial building.
Construction budgeting in Nigeria has long been opaque and inconsistent. Rates vary by state, material prices shift with the naira, and most people enter a project without a realistic figure in mind.
Our mission is to change that. We publish transparent, location-aware cost breakdowns — grounded in current market rates — so you can plan your build with confidence before you speak to a single contractor.
Enter your building type (bungalow, duplex, commercial), number of floors, plot dimensions, location, soil conditions, and preferred finishing level. Takes under two minutes.
Our engine generates a detailed, section-by-section cost estimate — substructure, superstructure, roofing, finishes, MEP, and more — using rates benchmarked to your chosen state.
Download a professional PDF estimate or a formal Bill of Quantities ready to hand to a contractor or quantity surveyor. Pro users can add their company branding.
