A4architect: which is cheaper for the slab on a storey building: use of premixed concrete from cement factories or use manual koroga guys with nyapara/Fundi? 4 storey, 350sq m slabs

Ofcos koroga is cheaper but the inaccurate ratios applied by many nyapara/fundi may lead to a very expensive blunder

Try a concreting contractor. They are negotiable,affordable and highly flexible. They also come with all plant and labour.
However, ready mix concrete will give you the best quality and is also negotiable to some extent.
All the best

@shefad are concreting contractors the same as those factory pre-mixed truckers with huge mitungi's at the back and a machine for pumping? They charged 13800 per cubic metre at a site in Lavi. What's the consolidated koroga rate?

I want to assume you mean the lower part of the house. Get a good stone dresser and they will do it for you, in nairobi / central area are they call it "comb" style, not sure about the rest of the country.

If the upper part, you can plaster on the stone and paint plain or spray to give the desired effect. Wallmaster will also work.

Thank you. Indeed I meant the lower part not the smooth plastered section.

@Tbags, a budget of betwween 50k to 200k will suffice. a physical planner will advice you on their consultancy costs plus statutory costs.
