@a4architect. You have been very helpful of late providing useful and well researched information on matters housing.

What do you reckon are the best colors for:

(a) bedroom
(b) living room
(c) lounge

Hi Wazua, I would like to know the estimated cost of building a 3-bedroom maissionatte house on an 1/8 piece of land in Syokimau. The breakdown should include the cost of materials ie sand, stones, cement, timber, labor etc.
Please contact me on hugumadede@yahoo.co.uk

@hugumadede? Do you think you should indicate if you are willing to pay Mr. a4architect for his services. Your request sounds quite commercial....just a thought, no ill intentions

I concur with you.............The guy should engage a QS and pay for the services. He will get a detailed and comprehensive BQ. But that should be after he has engaged an architect and a SE.
IF YOU EXPECT ME TO POST ANYTHING POSITIVE ABOUT ASENO, YOU MAY AS WELL SIT ON A PIN

@Gathinga,
The colour question you ask should be directed to an interior decorator rather than an architect?

We all have different personalities,therefore we each choose a colour depending on our personality i.e utgoing talkaive people will choose reds and oranges while introverted quiet types will be more comfortable in blues and greens. The bedroom user should choose the best suited colour for them.
If its a public space, you can choose a colour that will give the desied effect to the occupants. For example, in a restaurant, the table cloths are usually red in colour so as to make the occupants uncomfortable and hence eat quickly and leave to create space for other customers. The tableclothes are changed to blue in the evenings so as to make customers stay longer so as to buy more drinks.

@ haiyaa..this house is 120m2 floor area and costed 120m2 x kes 25,000= KES 3M to construct.

@ Hugu, to get a rough estimate, multiply the floor area of the bungalow by KES 25,000. To get a detailed cost estimate, a Bill of Quantities is required. This is charged at a percentage to the total estimated cost of the house by the Quantity Surveyor.
