I am planning to put up 20 rental single rooms (using machine cut stones) somewhere near kikuyu and would appreciate some insights.
- Does this require kanjo approval? if yes how bad is the bureaucracy?
- What's the rough/estimate cost per unit of 12ft by 12ft built using machine cut stones and mabati roof?
- does anyone have a contact of a good contractor/fundi who has done such units bila stress?

I believe even a 3ft x 3ft toilet requires Kanjo approval. That's how they make money. I do not know about Kikuyu area, but if Its same as Mavoko then I would rather deal with the askari Morons who pass by wakati Koroga Imeshika than pay those official hefty approval charges.I know views will differ but that's how I deal with it. Ndarugu/Machine cut stones are great - makes Plaster easier. Last bought them at Ksh16,500 (400F)delivered, Sand Ksh38,000 for 28T today and Kakoto /Ballast will average Ksh18 - 20,000K today.
No Fundi is Bila stress, even if the Fundi is your twin!! Also, I doubt you want to give a contract since that Job is not big. Assuming you are employed, My advise is that if you can get leave, then Just buy a Nice wooden stool, and then a copy of NATION/Taifa leo Daily and supervise the work for yourself - running the small errands for the fundi. Be a Boy.
Buy all materials for yourself. If you need a Plumber, electrician etc, get a 2nd quote and do not dare work with the first. You will save. Don't forget to Come back and tell us how things went.
Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God..
