COST OF BUILDING TWO BEDROOM MANSION IN KENYA

A two-bedroom house, for instance, will cost far more to construct in Nairobi than in Eldoret, Kisumu, Migori, or any of Kenya’s other major cities.

Some people, because of the high price of building a home, would rather rent than own. Quite the contrary is correct. The only difficult element of constructing a house is laying the groundwork, which can cost as much as 20,000 Kenyan Shillings.

The materials needed to build a two-bedroom home, both the bare minimum and the optimum, are detailed below.

Costing 6,000 Kenyan Shillings each pole, these circular poles are 12 feet in height.

13. The sum of forty thousand Kenyan Shillings covers the expense of all plumbing fixtures, electrical outlets, and wiring.

14. Nine thousand shillings is the price for three tries at the wall.

15 components of plumbing (pipes, sink, drain, and flow trap) and 30,000 Kenyan Shillings
