Material	Unit	Price	Δ%	Where to buy
9-inch Block (per piece) The standard block for external walls. A 3-bedroom bungalow needs approximately 2,500-3,500 blocks. Quality varies massively — test by dropping from waist height (should NOT break). 💡 Moulding your own blocks is 15-20% cheaper but requires space and time. One bag of cement makes 35-50 nine-inch blocks depending on the mixture ratio. Better to buy machine-vibrated blocks than hand-moulded — stronger and more uniform. 📦 Per 1000: N160,000-N220,000	per piece	₦180–250	+12.0%	📍 Block industries across Lagos 📍 Order from moulders directly
6-inch Block (per piece) Used for internal walls/partitions. Cheaper and lighter than 9-inch but NOT load-bearing — never use for external walls. 📦 Per 1000: N110,000-N160,000	per piece	₦120–180	+10.0%	📍 Block industries across Lagos
