In The Gambia’s current construction market, building a residence—especially a bungalow—can vary significantly depending on materials, labour, finishes, and supply costs. While precise data is limited, local industry trends indicate notable cost increases in recent years, with simple houses often exceeding earlier budgets due to rising material prices.
