Question 1

How much does it cost to build a house in Kenya?

Accepted Answer

Costs vary by size, finish and county. As of 2026, expect KES 35,000/m² for basic bungalows, KES 45,000–60,000/m² for standard maisonettes, and KES 65,000–90,000/m² for premium homes. Use our cost calculator for an indicative estimate.

Question 2

How long does construction take?

Accepted Answer

A typical 3-bedroom bungalow takes 6–9 months. Apartments and commercial buildings run 12–24 months depending on scale. We provide detailed programmes at contract signing.

Question 3

Do I need county approval?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every building requires county government approval before construction — architectural, structural, NEMA (for larger projects) and NCA project registration. We handle the full approval process.

Question 4

Are you NCA-registered?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We are registered with the National Construction Authority (NCA), with our engineers and quantity surveyors registered with EBK and BORAQS respectively.

Question 5

Do you handle design as well as construction?

Accepted Answer

Yes — our Design & Build service provides single-point-of-responsibility from concept to handover. This saves time, reduces coordination risk and often lowers total cost.

Question 6

How do I know the price is fair?

Accepted Answer

Every project has a detailed Bill of Quantities (BoQ) prepared by our registered quantity surveyor. Every line item is transparent and defensible. No hidden costs.

Question 7

Do you work with diaspora clients?

Accepted Answer

Yes — a significant portion of our clients live abroad. We provide weekly video updates, drone footage, photo reports and full remote transparency.

Question 8

What payment structure do you use?

Accepted Answer

We follow a milestone-based payment schedule tied to physical progress, verified by an independent QS. No large upfront payments.

Question 9

Do you offer warranties?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Structural works are covered for 10 years. Finishing and MEP works are covered for 12 months against workmanship defects.

Question 10

Can I visit past projects?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. During your consultation, we can arrange site visits to completed projects near you (with the client's permission).

Question 11
