Low Budget 2 Bedroom Bungalow

This low-cost 2bedroom bungalow is for the young men and women hoping to own a home in Nigeria as the beginning of that process of starting a family. The building is suited for a 50ft x 50ft ( 15m x 15m) plot of land which one can acquire with ‎₦400,000-‎₦600,000 in the outskirt towns of Abuja, Lagos and other states in Nigeria. You have parking space for 2 cars and a small garden at the back which can also serve as a resting spot for you and your family.

Proposed 3D design by Harney Project: Approximate cost = 3.5-5million naira

Specifications:

• 2 rooms measuring 14ft x 12ft and 12ft x 12ft respectively.
• 2 toilets, one ensuite (5ft x 8ft) and the other toilet (4ft x8ft) is open for the occupants of the second room plus visitors.
• Living room measuring 14ft x 12ft
• Combined kitchen and Dining measuring 14ft x 11ft ( Another feature introduced to help with the low-cost housing idea by reducing the material cost of separate dining and kitchen areas)
• Total % of building to the size of land = 37%
• parking space = maximum of 2 cars.
• The flat roof is one of the features that helps to cut down the cost. The flat roof reduces the cost of roofing your house by 1/3.
