A man showed the prototype of a beautiful house he was about to build for a client.
In an X post, the building engineer, Abraham Machills, said the client had already sent him a part-payment of N4 million (GH¢53,435.75+).

While he did not say the total amount the entire building would cost, it appeared to be a low-budget apartment.
However, the beauty of the prototype attracted many reactions from X users, some of whom argued that the money might not be enough given the high cost of cement, a major construction material.

Cost of BUA and Dangote Cement
A bag of BUA cement is pegged at N3,500, while Dangote Cement could cost between N5,000 and N5,300 per bag.
However, Engineer Abraham said the money sent to him was for a start. Others insisted that they would want a house like the one he shared.
He said in the post:
"Me and this client have been talking for about 3 months. This morning, he sent 4M so we can begin his project. The 2nd frame is what we want to build for him. We haven't even met in person. You can start with what you have."
