Floor to ceiling height, roof truss types, size of windows and placement of wet areas will need to be carefully planned. Once this is through, choice of construction material and the most appropriate construction technology needs to be throught out. You can reduce the cost of foundation by using hardcore blinding.
I have just completed a 2 bedroomed house with kes 15,000 PER M2.
Thanks a4architect. I've already started doing the ground-work(research). It's a brick & mortar house. I'm walking around viewing complete units,where possible talking to owners and also professionals in the industry.
So far it looks viable. Being tired of paying rent,I'm determined to move in once the sitting room and washroom are complete.
Cost of installing elec will be lower coz there is elec in the compound and I can do part wiring for myself.
I've also being checking this design h
ttp://www.a4architect.com/diamond-house-plan-cost/ but wondering if it can be the traditional 'box-like'house. Can using
SSBs reduce the cost substantially, from what you incurred with the
Kiserian 2br?
I've checked the
Makiga-Engineering website but they don't have cost comparison.
I also have a fundi who has done good work for my relatives.He also has a good reputation - he doesn't steal materials or do shoddy work.
Kindly let me know how much the 2br cost you in total. What was the total area?
