@Swanky

These doors are good cause they are stronger and better if they are the genuine ones and well secured.

There are also fake ones ive seen that are soo light and fake that they are basically like putting plywood as ur door.

The ones on the website, ive seen them at a place near adams acarde roundabout but at a cost of 250k. I got one (double door) from Doshi at about 35k.

I don't even know why you would contemplate this! It will lead to a disaster! Don't even think about it

Thanks to Pablo and others who have contibuted to this important thread.

Hi, Wazuans this is the best quote i have so far for building materials, anyone who knows a better deal pliz holla. (jymooh@yahoo.com)

Does anyone know what kind of mabati the CCN kiosks (like the ones outside Nairobi hospital are made of)? They look very neat and worth implementing.

@Architect I want to start a small gas station outside Nairobi could you please guide me on the approvals i need.

XSK, that is weird. they are simple asking you to start paying rent on freehold, no? please confirm that you are not confusing rent with rates.

was the LL initially owned by the council/government, probably a subject of some controversy? in which case you are governed under the Government Lands Act; if not then you are governed under the registered Lands Act Cap 300 and each Act bestows to you different rights. kindly seek more information from the council and consult your lawyer as this is no question for an architect. i'm not one myself but i know land law. I wouldn't exchange freehold for any other!

to anyone who knows the answer. in the cost of buying a house is the stamp duty included in the asking price. e.g nyayo embakasi houses advertised at 6.1M. Does it imply that I pay NSSF 6.1M as total cost with no other charges.
