If you’re planning a new build or roof replacement in 2025, understanding the cost of Light Gauge Steel (LGS) roofing is crucial. While LGS roofing offers exceptional durability, its price can vary depending on design, material grade, and installation quality.
This guide breaks down what determines cost and how PristiqBuild helps you get the best value for your investment.
Current Roofing Costs in Nigeria (2025)
For 2025, average costs per square meter are:
Light Gauge Steel roofing: ₦20,000 – ₦30,000/m²
Timber truss roofing: ₦15,000 – ₦25,000/m² (excluding frequent maintenance)
Cast iron or structural steel: ₦25,000+ per m²
Although LGS sits in the midrange, its maintenance-free lifespan of 50+ years makes it the most cost-effective option long-term.
What Influences LGS Roof Pricing
Roof Size & Complexity: More surface area or complex shapes require more steel.
Material Grade: G550 tensile strength and Z275 coating improve durability.
Roof Design: Steeper or curved designs increase labor and framing material.
Accessories: Waterproof membranes, insulation, and tile choice affect price.
Location: Logistics and accessibility can influence total project costs.
At PristiqBuild, we provide transparent pricing, tailored quotes, and no hidden costs.
Why Investing in Quality Roofing Pays Off
A cheap roof may cost less today, but constant repairs, termite damage, and leaks quickly add up. LGS roofing eliminates those recurring costs while improving building value and energy efficiency.
When you choose quality, you’re investing in:
Safety (fire & weather resistance)
Sustainability (recyclable, eco-friendly materials)
Longevity (50+ years lifespan)
