I have also had the chance to look at the documents and plans. Am no expert so it has left me rather confused. The "live" pictures are for a single room steel house (which don't look very impressive to me since they look like a normal mabati house albeit stronger if anything). The quotations are a bit confusing as well. Anyone who has understood the documents?
I have had the chance to stay in a container house and it was quite different from what am seeing here.

Moving on, has anyone constructed an average house (one bedroom, living room, kitchen) with the hydraform blocks? What would be a good budget to set aside for such considering that its an out of town house?

Its called vapourware. Create an impression that you have a panacea to all problems then continually market the delay in releasing details. Finally what comes through falls short of expectations. Microsoft does it all the time.

For those who think you can get a complete house in under 200k, you may have to look elsewhere. Stabilized Soil Blocks may help. GoK is providing this service. I'll be back with more info

thanks bring on whatever you get.atleast we are not talking of millions

GoK through Ministry of Housing has initiated an alternative ways of availing the prefab houses with interlocking walls that use any fine sand and very little cement at no extra cost.

The hydro form machines are offered free of charge by Gok, all you need is to transport it on sight and buy Diesel fuel for machine.

Each provincial area has an average of 13 machines. The future plan is to get one for every constituency.

Please contact director@housing.go.ke for provincial contacts

@user needs to update us. Anyway, I guess the budget was not enough as expected.
Time is money, so money is time. Money saved is time gained in reverse! Money stores your life’s energy. You expend your energy, get paid money, and store that money for a future purchase made in a currency.
