Hey guys, longtime. Nimewamiss tu sana. After taking a short break from mzungu land I went home to put up a rental structure, which thank God I was able to. After some drama I got a decent affordable contractor to supervise the mjengo. So I felt I should share their contacts just to help out anyone who wants to build and is stuck and scared of getting conned. They are called Momson and the head is a older lady that proved trustworthy. The foremen are hers. They charged like 30000 per square meter. They also do labor contracts for 33% of budget.

These look good.
Couple of questions. Are the costs actual costs or estimated based on their project averages??

Would love to hear more details and get their contacts @ kendata26 at gmail dot com

A4 and the professional developers - how much would the 140 SM and 160 SM houses in Mwafrika's pictures sell for if located in Langata? What about in Rongai?

I'm assuming 30K/sm finishes would be "decent" in Langata and "good" in Rongai.

the langata house will cost 140m2 x kes 30000=4.2m.
The land in langata will cost 5m.
http://www.property24.co...le-in-langata-101312180

Add 5m plus 4m=9m.
Cost of financing at 18% pa for 2 years will be 9m x 136%=12m.
Add developers profit of 30%=16m.

The house will cost 16m in Langata.

Thanks A4. So if I put in 20% of total project cost @2.4M I could get an ROI of 50%....

Same question from a diffrent angle. How long does it take developers to sell these properties? If someone gets this house @15% for about $13M (assuming 20% down pmt) on a 20 yr loan, monthly pmts will be around ksh170K/month.

That's a lot of money and looking at all the new developments and Ad's online, folks can afford it. I'm trying to get sence of the absorption rate versus supply.

Asante.

I did a labor contract with them and sorted myself on getting materials to site. It was quite a daunting task. They also do full contract and ofcorse payment is in stages, foundation, then walling then slab etc. I'll ask them for closets pics. They also said that interior finishes are strictly driven by the budget available, the more you have the better it gets.. just write to them at beth_wambui at yahoo dot com

my own two cents, depending on price and area some houses are sold even before they are finished.

I hope not. That would seem very expensive to pay almost 5M just on labor. Based on other discussions in this forum, including the pablo method, material + labor should range from 25K to 30K for a good finished product as shown by Mwafrika.

@mwafrika, would love to discuss ask a couple of detailed questions if you are so inclined @ kendata26 at gmail dot com. Thanks.
