Factors Affecting The Cost of Building Materials in Nigeria

It’s worth noting that prices of building materials vary based on a number of factors, which we’ll be looking at right away.

Product quality

It goes without saying that a high quality building material would be more expensive than a low quality one. Sometimes, the price difference could be as high as multiples of 3 or even more. And sadly, here in Nigeria, many low-quality products are widely sold because most Nigerians care less about quality. Rather, they play the cost-cutting card and choose products that cost the least prices.

The most important thing to note, however, is that high quality products provide long term value and peace of mind. And they can even be more cost effective in the long haul. Imagine that you have to make a choice between a US-made kitchen sink that costs N45,000 (for example) and a China-made model that looks almost like it and has the same features but costs N15,000. If you go for the cheaper option, you might have spent more than N50,000 on subsequent repair and replacement over the next 15 years, while the high-quality option keeps serving you for decades without any need for repair.

Brand

Some brands command higher prices than others, not necessarily because their products are all that better than others, but because they have established a reputation for quality over the years. That’s why you’d see Nigerians opting for Elephant Cement rather than a cheaper brand. It’s not always about popularity; sometimes it just because the brand has been widely perceived as being synonymous with high quality.

Location

This is one factor that beats the imagination of many Nigerians, but interestingly, there seems to be nothing anyone can do about it. From the earliest days of this country, products generally sell at higher prices in some locations than in others. For example, a 9-inch building block can go for N120 per piece in places like Ekiti and Yola, yet the same product would sell for as much as N180 or even N200 per piece in places like Lagos and Abuja.

This explains why some consumers in these high-cost locations prefer to purchase certain building materials from neighboring states, where these products sell for much cheaper.
