With the burgeoning real estate market, individuals and real estate developers are in frenzy about making land purchases in the choicest areas of town. The cost of building too isn’t overlooked but can be quite cumbersome when making enquiries about where to get these building materials and how much they cost. Perhaps one might not even be financially buoyant at the time but would still want to get the prices for these building materials to give you a sense of direction so as to make plans when the money comes.
Probably you are wondering the cost of building materials in Nigeria and their prices in 2020 considering the rate of inflation of goods and services, however, 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.

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.
NOTE: These prices are not cast in stones and are subject to change due to varying economic factors.

All u need to do is to multiply your m^3 by the density of granite which is 1.682.
Interesting, Pls publish the current prices.
All these would be laid on land if purchased, hence, could you furnish me with the equivalence of a plot of land in squared metres as obtainable in Lagos?
