One day a client worked in our office and greetings, he asked the question “how much does it cost to build a 4 bedroom house in Kenya”? Again, every day another person asked the same question via email. This made become more curious about the cost of building a 4 bedroom house in Kenya.
To address this question, we need to put several things into perspective. The first thing is that the cost of a house is derived from several parameters. Such parameters include location, size of rooms, the design chosen and materials. The materials used will lead to building a low-cost house or a very luxurious house.
Therefore, in order to address this question of how much does it cost to build a 4 bedroom house in Kenya; we need to evaluate how these parameters affect the house.
- Location
The location of a house affects the pricing of materials due to transport costs. If you want to build a house in a remote area, you will spend a lot on fuel to take materials to the round. If you are building an identical house in Molo Nakuru County and another one in Nyatike assuming a central supply source of Nairobi Industrial area, you will use more money on material transportation when working at the Nyatike site.
- Size of Rooms
The smaller the rooms the smaller the overall area of the house hence the total cost. If you work with larger rooms, you will increase the overall area of the house and the cost will also go up. For example, a low cost house is estimated to cost Ksh25, 000 per square metre.
Suppose you want to build a house with total square metres of 100. What will it cost you assuming it’s a low cost house? You will spend roughly Ksh2.5M. For a 4 bedroom house, the units must be small rooms like lounge 20 square metres, dinning 12 square metres, kitchen 6 square metres, master bedroom 20 square metres, and the other three bedrooms 9 square metres each and toilet plus bathroom 4 square metres and the remaining areas covered by corridors and maybe a store.
Suppose you want to do a low cost 4 bedroom house with slightly bigger spacing and settle for 150 square metres, you will spend roughly Ksh.3, 750, 000. If you want to do a standard house, the cost per square metre will go up to roughly Ksh32, 000 per unit square metre. Therefore, you are likely to spend Ksh.4, 800, 000.
