Let’s clear
a few things up.
Planning from abroad? You can start by describing your project and where in Kenya you want to build.
Where do I start when planning to build a house in Kenya?
Start with your intended location, land status, the type of home you want and a realistic budget. Use the calculator for an initial estimate, then develop your plans with the relevant professionals before seeking detailed quotations.
Do I need house plans or a BOQ to get started?
You can explore costs without completed plans. For detailed quotations, drawings, specifications and a Bill of Quantities (BOQ) help contractors price the same scope of work.
