After much talk about the capital cost required to replicate the popular Thai-styled homes in Lagos, Nigeria, we arrived at this conclusion.
And here is our take when going by considerations of the…
4 factors influencing the cost of an apartment in Lagos or any location
1. Labour force — its effect on construction as labour isn’t cheap!
In short, every rate fee has to adjust to the economic reality of Lagos. Taking cognizance of the services of professionals like architects, Engineering, surveyors, and advocates that would be employed, you can’t compare their rate fee with other states in Nigeria. Now coming to technicians, artisans and contractors… Their labour fee will equally be high. Then, when we move to unskilled labourers, their hourly wages are higher. Also note that, even within Lagos, there are places labour is more costly than others.
2. Inflation impact:
Inflation hits harder in Lagos than in other states. So, in this regard. Prices of building materials won’t be cheaper than what is obtainable in other states. Even while most goods are shipped into Lagos first and transported to various destinations where they will be used.

3. Energy dynamics — and power play in upstream and downstream sectors
Taking cognizance of this, you’d realise that energy takes its part of share in your construction expenditures. Generator and use of fueling are something to factor in as well if you want the project delivered at the estimated time and this isn’t cheap as well. The subsidy removal is not even helping the matter here. And besides, the PHCN and electric distribution company take delight at billing you on estimated billing structure, and that of Lagos residencies is on a different high level… So in this case, every service that relies on them to deliver will expectedly be high
4. Location fee charge
This depends solely on the government. This relates to the registry, property documentation, tax and other billings. Which obviously isn’t at par the same rate as other states.
In conclusion, the spirit of billing is alive and very much active here in Lagos. No capping
So, building a home for 5M of that standard in a metropolitan city in Lagos isn’t realistic while taking cognizance of what respected developers have posited. Except you are looking into having a minimalist or a modest home which is more realistic here.
Now considering all the above, you will start to take into consideration why properties will keep appreciating more over time in Lagos.
Okay, Now digressing from the social media drama, let’s dive into realistic apartments that you can get your hands on…and here we have…
