That house looks to be about 120 square metres,,that should cost around 300k, Kenyan shillings to do that roofing (of course Varriatiations come in with the type of wood used for trusses or wether steel trusses are used, and the gauge of the sheet material used for roofing)

Thanks for sharing the video on the Nice House. And to help those in diaspora is it possible to share how such a house cost in terms of construction, in case one want to embark on such kind of a house? And the price range of plots in that area of Bahati? Afrikan Traveller, try and venture more into construction which is a key area of interests with disporans. Who knows, you might be the trusted partner they are looking for.

22 dollars for that meal and you‘re describing it as „very affordable“? Though Nairobi is my home, I have spent time in the UK and now live in Germany.
