good day,

how is the roofing of the baraka 4 bedroom house?
is it a flat roof? how do you contain the water without leaks?
- David April 10, 2020 at 10:42 am - Reply
  
  Hi John,
  For a flat roof, all that you need is proper construction and proper water proofing. There will be drains to drain the water out just like you would on a balcony.
  I hope that is clear.
  
  Thanks

  The standard cost of building currently is about KES 35,000 per square meter, according to the latest published rated from the Institute of Quantity Surveyors of Kenya, depending on finishes and location of the project. If you build a house of say 185M2 and using the rates given, the estimated cost of construction will be approximately 6.475M depending on the finishes used. Keep in mind that a lot of factors affect the cost of construction, including your location.

Hi how much would this cost to construct if we add a dsq downstairs and a family room and small study room upstairs? And can it fit a 50×100 plot
- David October 30, 2020 at 7:22 am - Reply
  
  Hi Simon,
  The changes you have suggested can definitely be done. We can definitely do that for you. However, those are huge changes. Adding a family room and study upstairs means that you have that much more additional space downstairs. When you expand upstairs, downstairs has to also expand by the same space. Then adding a DSQ. So the final outcome will be a whole new design but we can make it similar in style to the Baraka House Plan.

  Thanks

Hi David, Nice work keep it up. Am very very interested in this design the only additions would want is a dsq(also flat roofed) outside right after the back porch and a study room somewhere preferably downstairs. How much would it cost to build such with the said additions? And how much do you charge for the drawings/architectural plan plus BOQ?
