Construction cost calculator
Estimate the cost of building a house in Cameroon in seconds. Enter the area, finish level and city — the estimate uses SangoImmo's real costing engine.
How the estimate is built
The per-m² anchors come from SangoImmo's 2026 costing engine (the same figures behind our cost index), adjusted by a city factor. Materials are about 64% of the total, labour about 20%, tax and fees about 16%. It is an indicative range, not a quote — the real figure depends on your exact design and supplier prices.
Frequently asked questions
- How much does it cost to build a house in Cameroon?
- As a rule of thumb, count roughly 306 000–402 000 FCFA per m² depending on finish level, before the city adjustment. A 120 m² standard house therefore lands in the tens of millions of FCFA. Use the calculator above for your area and city, then build the exact quote in the app.
- Is this calculator accurate?
- It gives an indicative range from SangoImmo's real costing engine. For an accurate figure, design your house in the app: it computes the takeoff and applies your finishes and supplier prices.
