Nothing is real unless it can be named; nothing has value unless it can be sold; money is worthless unless you spend it.

Not quite! An acre is 70yards by 70yards; which is equivalent to 210ft by 210ft; which is equal to 44,100sq-ft. Nevertheless surveyors like working with regular rectangles that have a one-to-two ratio of the sides... this is further complicated by the fact that they have to work in metric units [metres] while the public is more accustomed to imperial measures [feet]

@Mukiha, Fundaah I was always of the opinion that 1 acre is 200 x 200 and thats why a quarter is 100 by 100. is an acre 40,000 or 43,560 sqft?

By definition, it is 70yards by 70yards; one yard = 3ft; therefore 210ft x 210ft = 44,100fq-ft A quarter should be exactly 105ft x 105ft; But since survey is done in metres and hectares, surveyors try to get approximately 100ft by 100ft. Such quarters are, however rare because of "regular rectangle" requirement, so you will find quarters measured as 75 x 150...or 74 x 148 An exact 8th should be 52.5 x 105

If hydraform blocks are cheaper than the normal stones, then why aren't most guys using them? Are they raedly available here in Kenya and where? I don't don't mind using them if they are available.

I've tried to locate the site to no avail. If you join the Eastern by pass off Thika road and drive 8km;you will be at the Kasarani river bridge. Further down is the Nairobi river Bridge (proposed site). To your right is Brookside (kenyatta) to your left all the way to Kilimambogo is still Jomo's land.where the heck is the site?? Looks like a con game!!
Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even the dull and the ignorant; they too have their story.

who knows, they might be making or planning to make their own bricks. Found this link - seems like the bricks arent a new thing in Kenya. http://www.hydraform.com...ail.asp?PublicationID=25 Seems like Redallicapital are still in the process of looking for a financier because they do say 'if the project doesnt go through then the deposit 10% will be returned. Cheers!

Mo:I also got the same frustration trying to locate this site.When I called them,they said it's about 6k from Thika road but the site has to be accessed from Kagundo road. They will be taking people to the site on 10th and 17th this month. JWK:correction,"deposit will be refunded if your application is not successful"
