@ User,

A house as a basic need is basically a roof over your head. Same as clothing- anything that covers bare skin is clothing, the rest of differentiation is by choice and means.

You can put a house in phases provided you are comfortable living in it as you build. Start by designing it yourself, do basic costing and then look for a professional to assist depending on what you need.

I personally did mine that way, though it took me 10 years. I invested kidogo kidogo until i finished. I did my garage first, moved there and today the whole thing is done.

Paste your email and i will get intouch with you my brother

@ user, please post lessons here. some of us (me ) are following this and learning too. am also looking forward to starting small. hii mambo ya rent hainifurahishi.

Infact I have been taking photos and videos of any good house I come across in the area with my phone ndio niwe na picture ya kile nahitaji.
Sijawahi kujua kupost picha hapa lakini nitajaribu kuibluetooth kwa laptop yangu halafu ni post nikiweza

Anyway here are some drawings for a 2 bedroom house .

You can get an idea from these.Na mind you the bungalows can be built with the Kshs.500,000 kama hakuna wastage cos ya friends wangu zinafanana na zingine hapa

Nyumba ya mwananchi iendelee.

Going the prefab route may make the house even cheaper:

the theme is :A House at the price of Probox, yes it's possible(though Probox imepanda saa hii) .

You just need not be lazy.Enda mashinani and you will see for yourself

Tuendeleeni kujenga, Nyumba ya mwananchi .

Similar houses in by developers within vicinity of my 'taket' are going for Kshs 3.4Million.Do the maths.

prefabs are ok too.Lakini mimi bado ona moja within the vicinity.
Pia how secure are prefabs ? anyone knows? where can I view a prefab house around Nairobi ?
How much do they cost?
