Here is a "silly" question. I made the mistake of not including a SQ cum security guard house in my architectural plans. It will be very tiny (4 x 6m at most) Does this need additional approvals as well or can I just go ahead and build on the strength that the main house has been approved? What about that tiny security guard thing attached to the gate..needs approvals too? Nines foundation, machine cut walling, iron sheet roof on both.


All structures need approval. Even wall ya compound.

Not necessarily.. Depends on where you are located and the hunger level of the government inspector, but better to get the approvals than fight needless battles

Right about the 'hunger level' thing. In Nakuru, they seem very hungry as the building is in the raw stages. Once u have done your perimeter, noone bothers you with any additions. I have added an SQ and another structure bila wasiwasi

Please advice on the going rates for normal mahogany doors (interior) and their frames. Any advice on sourcing and what to look out for.

Try these guys who can give you a quote. Though be careful, these days everyone including those selling furniture by the roadside on Ngong Road claim the wood that goes into their products is 'mahogany'

While putting up a flat, what are the minimum room sizes for the plan to be approved? I mean what should be the size (dimensions) of the living room, bedroom, kitchen, toilet/bafu? Also what should be the minimum size of a 1bdrm and 2bdrm?

I want to thank all the contributors on this topic for their great generosity. This is one of the threads where the time I have wasted on Wazua more than paid for itself. I have used the advise given here to complete two projects already. I even offered to buy a mbuzi to say thank you but there were no takers.

Thank you all the same
