@ Ckaka due to lack of proper info from consultants, kenyans use alot of money on septic tanks thinking that they are storage devices. Septic tanks should be small and only serve curing purposes only.

Houses made from containers can withstand wind speeds of upto 225km/hour....How many brick and mortar houses in Nairobi can withstand half those speedsPray

@ Njunge,talking of container housing,
Container houses cost more per square meter than well-designed brick and mortar houses.
See a container house design here

This house is more expensive than this

Steel and any imported construction material can not compare in cost with locally produced materials. The best cost reduction is achieved using Interlocking stabilized soil blocks on the DIAMOND house designs.

Thank you Wazuans, for this informative contribution. @a4architect where exactly is this house located in Kiserian, would like to visit and have a closer look.

On the same note, any good architects around Rongai and Kiserian anyone would recommend? I will be starting my project(In kiserian in Feb 2012 and would appreciate somebody who works or resides around the area.
