Not less than 3m for those mini pools, that is if you want to have like 10 massage jets, hot and cold water regulators and ofcourse the under water lighting systems, dowsing machine with water treatment systems. Mine is an indoor pool, cos I dont want neighbours seeing me having good times with girls inside my pool.
Nice, please could you upload photos.

Bros, na Olympic sized swimming pool wey dey suspend for air?
Do your search. Op should go after removable pool. Pool should be built where occupants will share the expenses when pool wahala starts. Pool owned by individual(except the owners company is responsible for the maintenance) in Nigeria will surely be abandoned.

Most of the people commenting don't know much about what's involved. I own a pool about 50 feet by 35 feet and it cost me 8 million like 3 years ago. I am sure it should be above 12 million now except there is a new and cheaper technology

Earlier this year, I decided to have a swimming pool in my house. After drafting out my supposed price of below #500k, I called an expert to inquire. To my shock, the least price he gave was #7m.

"Ordinary swimming pool"... I retorted but he calmly told me to call other professionals. The minimum cost I got was #6.5m with local materials. Swimming pool no be here
Really? shocked

Swimming pool of such side in this dollar-chasing naira time?hmmm.those saying 500 to 1m am sure the have not constructed one before.

1.excavation on a bad soil is another factor that will consume alot of money. To avoid giving much engineering details .it may take up 4to5m depending on the location and nearness to materials.

After reading through all the comments here, I can but laugh about the cost being speculated.
Let us even take a 3m by 7m pool for example.
Your excavation cannot be less than 1m offset round the perimeter and the depth of excavation of 2meters. So the area to be excavated is 9m by 5m with a depth of 2m.
Volume to be excavated is 9*5*2= 90cubic meter. Three times the volume excavated for a septic tank and the cost if excavating is approximately 40k for septic tank. How on earth will the cost of excavation be 35k.
2)also if your are not doing a beam to receive the slab you will definitely do a screed on the floor to receive you reinforcements for slab to prevent corrosion. A floor screed of 50mm thick. 7*3*/0.05m= atleaat nothing less than 50k will go into this for cement,sand and labour.
I even forgot to talk about setting out getting lines pegs and profile boards, nails say 10k.
Your reinforcements requirements can't be less than 2tons, and I guessed engineers in the house knows what the cost of a ton is now, and do not forget rebar worker wages.
Your concrete requirement is 7*3*.2 =4.2cubic for the slab, while for the Walls is 2(7+3) *2*.23=9.2cubic meter. Total volume if concrete required is 9.2+4.2=13.4 cubic. For grade 30 you cannot get it lesser than 35k/cubic meter.
Also whatever type of additive you want to use crystalline is the best type of additive for swimming pools, whether Dr fix it product, concrete logistic or advance concrete product it is very important you add additives to your concrete, less I forget if you want to cast the slab before the Wall you will definitely need water bar as well.

Your plumbing works and electrical works skimmers,pipping pumps,filters water treatment etc. This will definitely cost you above a million.
For tiling, I saw 150k somewhere ago, what is that for. The floor area is 21 square meter while the Walls is 40square meter, total of 61square meter, you need to factor 5%waste into tiling which brings it to 65squaremeter. For mosaic tile it is about 6000/sqm while for normal 125 by 250mm size you should be able to see 4-5k good Spanish or Italian tile not China. If you do your arithmetic you will have between 300k for tile alone, what of cement, sharp sand for floor screeding, plaster sand for wall rough plastering to receive tile and grouting cement and also labour cost at 800/sqm. The total tiling will be between 500-600k.
Also factor in constigency (unforseen expenses)
Whichever way it can't cost less than 4million.

Okay bro... It all depends on the size and shape(circular or box-shaped) you're going for. Just start anyways, unless you intend doing a swimming pool that looks like a soakaway.

uhhm some of the things you calculated are correct but your concrete nawa o.35k/cum come which school you attend sef.Am sure its a UNIVERSITY na only theory una know.

CONC IS 31K/CUM max. Tiling is N2000-2500/sqm (bidding rate. )
Theoretically your correct but in the field if you try what you just tried above you would loose a contract bid.#straightup

which one is maintain maintain. Oga lemme burst Ur bubbles.. If he duchess up a bore hole, and has a cap to release water. Has a cap or pipe that releases the water in the pool out.. Then nothing like maintenance here.. Lemme explain cause u no grab.. The water needs to be cleaned with chlorine Abi.. Okay now.. He don't want to use chlorine, what will he do? He will simply exchange the water anytime he wants to swim. A fresh water can be fresh for upto 7 days if not very dirty. After 7 days, he drains the water completely and allows the pool to dry.. And they adds a new fresh water from the bore hole already dug..

Simple!!!

I see no bigdeal in swimming pool construction and maintenance but trust our developers they will make it look like a big deal and all is for their pockets.

the amount you spend on buying the tiles and tilling job alone should be more than what u just quoted here, then add the cost of buying cement for casting the pool area, and the amount you spend to buy the other pool accessories, dont forget you will also need a small pump room for the treatment plant, bro the budget should be like N2.5m to N3.5m. that is about half of this pool
