2. Approved Structural Drawings; (Prepared by a EBK registered Professional Engineer but Approved by County Engineers)

3. Services Drawings (Electro-Mech);

4. NEMA (Environment)License; (Prepared by NEMA licensed Lead Expert but licencing conditions laid out by NEMA)

Im just wondering, all these approvals and fees, NCA, county, NEMA etc, what value do they bring? You will still have to put in sewerage, roads, water pipes etc if they are not on site, and if they are you will have to provide water tanks and security anyway to attract tenants. Apologies for thread hijack.

Real estate is a very expensive venture in kenya.Everything you are on your own.
Even pulling/bring electricity to the houses you pay kenya power to do for you,buy the transformers etc.
This are some of the reasons housing is expensive and the people who are able to do it well are wealthy individuals i.e millionaires with wealth in excess of 500mn,pension schemes and big institutions
Wealth is built through a relatively simple equation
Wealth=Income + Investments - Lifestyle

With 25m you are set for a four storied flat. One doesnt need 500m for such

Interesting points of view. I still view it as a very viable venture.

Hi people.
I am in the process of starting off a multi-tenant apartment project in Mucatha area. More specifically, I am researching on the requirements and associated costs for getting the design looked at and approved.

I welcome your guidance on:
1) A clear step-by-step outline of the process you go through to get the design approved (start to finish, deliverables at each stage and the offices involved)
2) An indication of the timelines for each of the steps; and finally
3) An indication of the associated costs at each stage (a sample scenario with some hypothetical figures will do; I can re-work to suit my needs)

If there are any other nuggets of wisdom you can offer in relation to that, I would also appreciate it.
Regards,


First, if your plot is less than 0.045Ha; it will not be approvsd for flats in Kiambu County for flats construction. Late last year the county started enforcing this requirement. Hundreds of developers in Ruaka, ndenderu and muchatha areas were caught offguard. These are some of the issues making Clifford popular for Kiambu governorship

Oh, you know there's a good way to get a ready-made design for your apartment? Personally I did so. I wrote to the support service of this company https://www.parc-clematis.com.sg, with a request to send me an example of one-room apartments that they will have upon completion of construction of the house. They send me ready-made sketches, photos and even drawings, and then I can make repairs by their example ) Profit ;)
