@Alpha2, a smart and excellent idea, to create the basement parking. AS Chaka has highlighted, the problem comes to mitigating flood water. You have to invest handsomely in good engineering works. The cost almost comes to the more or less the same as back filling if not more. The expertise is in most cases what is lacking, and when available could be costly and not 100% assured.

Why struggle so hard when you can get a free apartment thanks to Raila! I understand the rent for the next row in kibera to be allocated free houses has shot from kes200 to kes20,000/-, not bad for a free house where Clever Raila has a system to ensure the apartment worth kes3million, is owner occupied at kes1000 p.a, the only qualification being where in kibera you live. Talk of a dangerous crowd pleaser (all this after the rich mans poor mans maize). Get ready for the most crowd pleasing thick prezy ever

Construction Cost of a Flat
For those who have been looking for the cost of constructing a block of flats, you have your answer now!!There is a story in the Daily Nation about the police flats that had to be demolished at Central Police Station..Each of the block had 16 two-bedroom self contained houses and total cost (they were ready for occupation) was 16million..Of course u have to factor in the kick backs that were most likely paid, but u have a figure to work with..

The units on each flat were 8. so that brings the cost per flat to about Ksh2M. I don't know about the size in sqm but they looked standard.
Time is money, so money is time. Money saved is time gained in reverse! Money stores your life’s energy. You expend your energy, get paid money, and store that money for a future purchase made in a currency.

A standard 2br flat is approximately 80 - 100SqM. This would include all amenities plus a balcony.

In my view the cost mentioned of 2M per flat would be cost of a turnkey project where the contractor does everything and hands you the keys. Finishes would be average.

To construct an 16 block unit of 2Br flats with good finishes would definately not be more than 80SqM x 14,000/- per Sq M x 16 = 18 - 22M. This works out to between 1.1M - 1.4M per flat.

However it also depends on the type of soil.

@a4architect - How much would the all inclusive cost of a 3 bedroom (master ensuite) 105 sq. metre bungalow in kitengela cost to construct? Like the ones done by Gachewa?
