This thread is amazing,

I am in the process of planning for constructing and hope to start very soon, in fact I am looking for a fundi. How much can I reasonably expect to spend on labour when doing the foundation (red soil), slab and roofing ( mabati roof).

The foundation is approx 160 square metres while slab is about 150 square metres. I plan to give labour contracts for the different stages so just need an estimate from those who have been there.
They must find it difficult....... those who have taken authority as the truth, rather than truth as the authority. -G. Massey.

My foundation of 180SqM cost about 450k incl. 105k for labour.
Slab 750k incl 160k Labour (thats if you hire the trappers rather than buy them). Roofing - ongoing.

Also note that youll need maybe some 200k for pre works. I.e water tank, road access some clearing etc.

As an aside, any recommendations for trustworthy lawyers (oxymoronic, I know) that members have used in their shamba deals? Thanks.

Pray .Doing 2nd floor slab and can't believe the savings on mbao, props and trappers. The later are for hire @100 per piece for 40 days and I can't regret a thing. smile. Now the electricals and plumbing issues to sort, got this KPLC technician "engineer" as they call him doing the cabling for 12k, the cables etc cost abt 30k, plumber asks for 4k. NB: The plumber plus electrician will oversee the koroga process to secure their works!
