A Nigerian architect has said container buildings are not as cheap as people think.

The architect, Akanmu Saheed Olatokunbo, maintained that getting a container constructed into a big building could cost as high as N25 million.

Recently, Legit.ng published a story of some portable buildings that could be lifted and planted anywhere.

The buildings appear to have been constructed with containers, and they were seen being lifted by a crane.

Some netizens who saw the buildings admired them and said it could be cheaper to own such structures instead of building a normal house.

However, Akanmu said such moveable shelters are not as cheap as people perceive them to be.

While the cost depends on the size of the structure, the architect told Legit.ng that they are not cheaper, saying it could take N25 million to finish a two to three-room bungalow using containers.

His words:

Also, Akanmu said such container structures are rarely used as residential buildings by clients.

His words:

Akanmu sent photos of one of the projects constructed by Container Build Nigeria and another by a contractor named Architect Biola, which he said cost up to N35 million. He said he was the one who did the cladding to add beauty to it and colour to it. It is the cladding that makes the container structure really attractive. He said while it could be left uncladded, cladding a container structure makes it more expensive.

In a related story, Legit.ng reported that a Nigerian man built a new house in his father's compound.

The man posted a video on TikTok showing that he pulled down the old house in the compound and built a new one.

The new house looked big and beautiful as compared to the old one which was really old.

People congratulated him and tapped into his blessing.
