The cost of building<\/strong> as well as roofing a 2-bedroom flat in Nigeria<\/strong> largely depends on a number of factors and it varies from one region to another. Factors such as foundation type, the price of the building materials and labour, the house design, the type of roof and internal finishing among others.<\/span><\/p>\n For example, you can build a flat with \u20a620million in Lagos and the same flat might cost \u20a615million in Ibadan. The cost of building a 3-bedroom bungalow in Nigeria<\/strong> also follows this same format.

That is, the building dimension measured on both the length and breadth along with the ridge cap, ceiling, valley gutter, gutter trimming, cladding, board among others. Some of these measurements can be gotten from the roof plan or better still measured physically again during construction.<\/span><\/p>\n Some sheets change colour under few years of exposure to end up looking like a running splash of gold and rust.<\/span><\/p>\n The most preferred choice of roofing material for many home builders in Nigeria<\/strong> is the aluminum roofing sheets because it is less corrosive and doesn\u2019t leak, unlike zinc roofing sheets. There are two types of aluminum roofing sheet: long span corrugated aluminum roofing sheet<\/strong> and step tile aluminum roofing sheet<\/strong>. They come in varying colors such as red, blue, yellow, green, chocolate and brown. These type of roofing material is commonly used in Abuja, Lagos, Port Harcourt<\/strong> and other major big cities in Nigeria<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n Zinc roofing sheet<\/strong> is commonly used in ancient cities like Ibadan<\/strong>. They are comparably low compared to the other types of roofing sheets. Zinc sheets are strong and have the ability to withstand heat and weight.<\/span><\/p>\n ALSO READ: Cost of Floor Tile per Square Metre in Nigeria<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Asbestos<\/strong> is also cheap and it has the ability to absorb heat and resist corrosion although it is not environmental friendly. It has been banned in many western countries due to health issues associated with it.<\/span><\/p>\n Stone-coated<\/strong> or stone chip roofing tiles<\/strong> are made from an alloy of aluminum and zinc also as known as \u201cgalvalume<\/strong>\u201d or \u201cAlu-zinc<\/strong>\u201d metal sheets as the base metal for this roof covering. There are different designs for stone coated roofing tile which includes <\/span>shingle, bond, classic, Roman, Milano and shake design. However, the names may differ from one manufacturer to another.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n CHECK OUT: OFFICE SPACE FOR RENT<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n The beauty of this roof tile is in its corrugated design. Some are coated with two stone colours. Original stone coated tiles tend to give any home an edge among others around. Generally, they give you good value for your money. Going with the trend, stone coated roofing tiles seems to be the latest in town with a longer lifespan of about 50years. These tiles will not rust, fade off or crack up during this lifespan.<\/span><\/p>\n The most common material used for roof trusses is wood. It is cheap and readily available and easily worked on. They are used for the woodwork during construction of a house before the roofing sheets are installed.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n SEE: WAREHOUSE FOR RENT IN NIGERIA<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Bond style <\/strong>roof tile (0.45 \u2013 0.55mm) \u20a63<\/span>,300<\/span> Milano design<\/strong> (0.55mm)\u00a0 \u20a63<\/span>,400<\/span> 1m of 0.45mm Corrugated Aluminium Long Span<\/strong> roofing sheet \u20a62<\/span>,100<\/span> 1m of 0.45mm Metrocopo Aluminium<\/strong> \u20a62<\/span>,500<\/span> 1sqm of Heritage design<\/strong> roof tile (0.45 \u2013 0.50mm) \u20a6<\/span>2,900<\/span> 1Nr. of aluminium circular ridge cap<\/strong> (0.40mm, 1090mm long) \u20a6<\/span>800<\/span> 1m of stone-coated ridge cap<\/strong> (0.40 \u2013 0.55mm) \u20a6<\/span>1,200<\/span> 1sheet of 1200 x 1200mm ceiling asbestos \u20a6<\/span>800<\/span><\/p>\n 1bundle of Gypsum plaster boards<\/strong> (10mm, 120 x 300) \u20a6<\/span>3,000<\/span> \u00a0<\/p>\n 1sqm of Linear ceiling strips PVC<\/strong> \u20a6<\/span>700<\/span> 1sheet of 2400 x 1200mm Timber laminated board<\/strong> \u20a6<\/span>1,500<\/span> 1pcs of 60mm studs PVC accessories \u20a6<\/span>550<\/span>
