The real cost depends on finish quality, region and current local prices — the app computes the detailed quote for your plan in minutes.
Why this cost per m²?
The cost per m² (308 000 FCFA/m²) reflects the area, the typology and the fit-out level. Small footprints show a higher cost per m² because fixed items (soil study, foundations, fees, permit) weigh more; large single-storey homes spread those costs better. Unit prices are detailed in our guide to construction materials prices in Cameroon.
