I am looking to build a house with high quality finishing, does any one know the average prices per square foot for a labor contract that includes all works like plumbing, electrical, painting, carpentry etc as i don't want to get ripped off. I have been getting quotes at roughly 700 ksh per sq ft exc vat. Is that high or can i get better rates?

Banker01... Explore also the option of cost of labour as a fraction of the cost of the materials. I have heard that it should cost between 15% to 30% depending on quality of work (How good the contractor or the fundi is). All in all engage a QS he should be able to guide you and it may save you street advise.
