Construction veterans, can this EPS pannels from KOTO and NHC be used for building slabs like for maisonett? Or they are just good for walling?


A4architect and structural engineers assist hapa.


I visited a flat hapo next to TRM that was being constructed using these panels and saw that they had a different kind of panel they were using for the slab. The slab panels had some space for chumas. They told me they got the panels from NHC. The flat is 5 floors made entirely of those panels, walls and slab, and is now complete.

I am looking for a cost effective way of doing a 100ft perimeter fence, an option that will not be heavy on the pocket.

Would the interlocking blocks help? Ideas very welcome...

Hello. Any wazuan who knows how many single rooms can fit on a 50 by 100 plot. I am a hustler trying to make a buck in real estate. I have already pin pointed a plot back in the village and the most popular kinds of rentals there are single rooms, so bedsitters etc are out of the question. Any rough estimate on how much it will cost me on average to put up per room is appreciated. In summary:
- How many single rooms can one build on a 50 by 100 in such a way to maximize on the land without necessarily causing congestion?
- What is the rough estimate cost of construction per room?
NB: Dont laugh at me, am just trying to make a buck by whatever means necessary. Maybe in a few years I will be talking of flats:) Help a Bro

for 50by 100 three rows will be ideal to maximize space. units of 12 by 12 ft facing one another and a space of 10ft in the middle, 16 units in total, another row of 6 units of 12 by 10 ft facing the others so that you wount need a fence that will take 72 ft in length leaving at least 30ft for ceptic tank. note that units of 12ft are very spacious and these days single rooms are 10 by 10 ft, that will give you a upper hand. without expensive finishing a single room will cost you about 155k. that's according to my little experience, also waiting from experts as I await similar project this year

Assuming that the plot is a perfect rectangle, how about 19 rooms, 10 on one side and 9 on the other side. Each room to measure 10ft by 12ft? The reason for the nine rooms at one side is to leave space for toilets at the last space that a room could occupy. If the rooms are properly planned, so that the 10ft dimension is along the perimeter and the 12ft is into the plot, that would leave 26ft space between the two rows. Could that work? Such a plan could yield 19 units on a 50ft by 100ft plot

The reason for the nine rooms at one side is to leave space for toilets at the last space that a room could occupy. If the rooms are properly planned, so that the 10ft dimension is along the perimeter and the 15ft is into the plot, that would leave 26ft space between the two rows. Could that work? Such a plan could yield 19 units on a 50ft by 100ft plot

26ft in between is a whole field! neighbours will require motorbike to visit one another! OK to show you the size of 26 ft I have a plot of 25 by 100 which have a plan of 6 bedsitters of 14 by 15 ft with a space which can fit packing for small cars

Then what is the ideal number for rooms, 12ft by 10ft...but dont be too mean with space...because they will need hanging lines, septic tank and some space to park their motorbikes. Is it safe to assume that with proper planning, 20 units on a 50 by 100 should leave enough space for the septic tank and washrooms? Also about the cost, is that cost for anywhere near Nairobi or outskirts? I am planning to do this upcountry so the cost per room may be significantly lower

By the way, I just checked the blog for a4architect, the approximate cost per square meter in low income housing is Ksh 20,000. His example is Ruai and other outskirts of Nairobi. Could costs be significantly lower upcountry where single rooms rent at half the price of these Ruai units?

if you decide 10by 12 ft 25 byunits can fit, still insisting on 3 rows , for the first two rows nine units and the other seven, a space of 10ft is enough for two rows and 6ft for one row. the cost above relate to a place where a lorry of stones 400ft is 15k, sand 12k ballast 10k and a bag of cement 700 others costs don't vary much
