How much does a small rental apartment building cost in Cameroon?

Cost breakdown

This is one floor of a small apartment building (2 flats) — one floor of a small rental apartment building with two flats — a common buy-to-let investment in town.

Estimates from the SangoImmo costing engine (2025 materials catalog in FCFA, labour estimated at 35% of materials cost, 19.25% VAT in force in Cameroon). They cover structural work, second-fix and standard finishes, excluding the price of land, excluding utilities/servicing connections and excluding site contingencies. 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 (298 000 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.
