In recent years, prices of building materials in Lagos have undergone a significant price increase for several reasons, higher raw materials, stringent standards, new thermal regulations. It is therefore necessary to compare prices either as a building contractor or prospective builder.
Individuals and real estate marketers, developers and investors are always in frenzy about purchasing or acquiring landed properties in choice areas within Lagos and other parts of Nigeria, this is due to the burgeoning real estate market.
The cost of building too isn’t overlooked but can be quite cumbersome when making inquiries about where to get these building materials and how their prices, now developers scrutinize fervently, building material price quotes before releasing funds.
The building material prices on this list carries the current prices from various markets where these materials are sold.
It would be worth to note that these prices are not stable but within ranges, as it is not possible for all markets to sell at exactly the same prices. With the decrease in the purchasing power of the Naira, increase in fuel prices since they use fuel in powering their boats when for transporting the sands from water to land, prices of building materials have increased, so it is advisable not to go to the market with a reasonable sum of money pending on the materials you or the contractor intends buying.
Probably you are wondering the cost of building materials in Nigeria and their prices, the answer isn’t far fetched. The target audience of this list which was carefully compiled is anyone at all who has plans to build, go into real estate as a developer, someone who has plans to begin a business by selling building materials or just any random person who feels the need to know these things. As at August 2016, the prices of building materials in Lagos and their quotations are listed below.

To conserve money it is advisable to buy these materials in bulk quantity because it is usually cheaper and it saves one a lot of stress. The thing about starting a building project is that at first it may seem like a never ending task, running out of money and other challenges may arise. But just hang in there, at the end of the day the house/building will belong to you, after all nothing good comes easy. Congrats in advance.
