And this is when you follow all rules. I know one kanjamaa who said most of us are "fools" for following the rules ati approvals nini nini. The guy just built a mabati fence around his 1/8th so that no one can see inside, sneaked in materials over night when nobody was looking, got kawaida fundis to excavate and start building. In one years time he had a beautiful 2br home that many would envy for a "whopping" 900k. To this day he is living there enjoying himself. I would not recommend that approach but there are many ways to skin a cat. The main thing that eats up money is inflation of costs and swindling by contractors. Materials are not expensive at all provided you build small and simply without madoido mob.
