We took a trip to Kitale to showcase this white, beautiful 3 bedroom house in Kitale. The clients wanted a permanent home back at their hometown and this is what they built. It cost Ksh 5M (USD 37.8K) including finishing. Enjoy! CONTACTS Henry, Contractor, Links Global +254 707 056590 Sammy Wambua, MD Kingdom Precast +254 714 259226
This guy doesn't talk much but he perform like a magician!! Africans tend to ignore details specially my West African francophones, but this guy is master of his craft. the lines are so refined and precise. I'll hire him anytime.
As a interior finisher and a painter let me just give my feedback on few areas: whenever you still painting, never install water taps, sink, doors and sockets till all works are finished. And also when you done the tiling cover the entire floor some ceramic are hard to clean off the paint.
@tricksandbits9185 very good observation. Believe me most people don't seem to think about this or they just go along with what the contractor tells them. You end up with messy tiles,walls, you name it.
I just discovered the Channel and been watching most of your videos. The fact that you touch on construction costs is just a plus. Learning a lot as I plan my construction. I might just use some of your contacts?
Wow! This is beautiful bungalow home and gazebo on the farmlands of Kitale in Trans Nzoia County of Kenya. I love the architecture of the homes and finishing💝💝. Thank you Nick for showcasing and that was a good interview with Bw. Wambua of Kingdom Pre-cast Ltd and the builder gentleman. Very inspirational to say the least 💯💯🙏🙏.
The house is beautiful . The only thing I would change is wider and longer windows . I love floor to ceiling windows . More light and more aeration for rooms. Otherwise, this is a great job ❤! Beautifully done !
Henry is cheating, just encouraging you to start, with Rutto economy, big no no. Be telling people the truth! If roofing i.e mabati is 350k, normal mabati, versatile, 500k. And the rest just judge?
The contractor is very thoughtful and determined to give the client the best. I would love to see othet products he has done if there is a platform for it. The gazebo is delightful
Why to houses in Kenya rarely have shower cubicles! That whole thing of the toilet getting wet is not nice, terrible idea otherwise the house is nice but please incorporate glass shower cubicles to stop the whole bathroom getting wet. I find that revolting
My parents house built in 1971 never renovated have very spacious showers with a wall divider running parallel to the bathroom wall, no glass at the entrance but the water can't splash outside of the shower.
This is a good work done here,in this project are you able to do moulding on the house? Secondly if I only want the contractor to do me the TV wall how much would he charge me?
With floods, your house's foundation must be built correctly. Precast panels are an alternative to stone blocks but not your house's foundation. Ensure you build your foundation according to the design specifications done by your structural engineer.

The roofing is professionally done.
Yeah the roofing is topnotch

Thanks for sharing your knowledge 🙏🏻
But the proper way is to do painting and then tiling.

Henry has done an amazing job. Thanks Nick for another nice and educative video. Very simple and to the point.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Beautiful Kitale house. Thanks for showcasing it!
Glad you liked it!
I love this house... For me what I love most is the windows, the doors n the shower panel... Good job Henry
Beautiful house ... well done...the client must be so happy. Yes we appreciate all construction tidbits.
The house is beautiful . The only thing I would change is wider and longer windows . I love floor to ceiling windows . More light and more aeration for rooms.
Otherwise, this is a great job ❤! Beautifully done !
Henry has given me hope when he said you can build the same house at 3 million depending on the finishes 😅🙈🙈 #buildingonabudget.
Henry is cheating, just encouraging you to start, with Rutto economy, big no no. Be telling people the truth! If roofing i.e mabati is 350k, normal mabati, versatile, 500k. And the rest just judge?
Its done absolutely 💯. Finishing though is an expensive affair but it can be done.
The solar system is so gd, general roofing ad the house design are nice,.my observation the swimming pool is missing.
The contractor is very thoughtful and determined to give the client the best. I would love to see othet products he has done if there is a platform for it. The gazebo is delightful
He built this: ua-cam.com/video/oWOAOmNaW-Y/v-deo.html
I love this I will.look for him to have something like this

I guess the home owner will install them at their own time
Should b separate
My parents house built in 1971 never renovated have very spacious showers with a wall divider running parallel to the bathroom wall, no glass at the entrance but the water can't splash outside of the shower.
@@ladysafari01 that was a good idea better than glass cubicle
In kenya, people primarily use shower curtains. Incase they dont leave a pole to hang it just install one. All for the cost of less than $50
Nicely done and affordable. I love that roofing and the fireplace. Only the kitchen and interior door flames (wood works) need some improvement
Another great video.thanks for the updates nick.we need catch-up with previous projects as well.good job henry keep up the good work
Beautiful.
If only the Widows were larger than or double what is already there.
I think cuz it's in the village
Yahh, windows too small
This is decent 👌 👏
What a masterpiece. Good work Henry and thanks Nick for updates
You're welcome
Nice house,Mr.Muema can you give a final construction cost per square metre ?
Thanks for the video
Henry''s hands are good.
Beautiful house on a budget. Good job.
Amazing project
Is it suitable for hot temperature area like Garissa?
This is a good work done here,in this project are you able to do moulding on the house? Secondly if I only want the contractor to do me the TV wall how much would he charge me?
This is beautiful. I come from the same place and looking forward to working with you.
Job fiti Muema. Kitale is my hometown
Amazing job. Congratulations!
Nice project.interested in building one with a flat roof
Wishing you success
Nice
Love it and he is qualified
The best bungalow i have seen.How strong are the precast when it comes to an earthquake?
Wao elegant, good looking ❤
I can’t believe that house only $38k USD. I would take three please. Can you explain more about those wall panels benefits over traditional block?
I love it so much, where can we get Henry the contractor
Kindly check the pinned comment
Kitale is the best village to be in Kenya
It's not a village it's a town
Beautiful house
does anyone know the contrator's rates?? Kindly share. Muema please break down approximate 2-3 bedroom pre-cast prices and additional contractor/architect prices.
Nice ❤❤❤
First to watch your video Nick
Thanks
Impressed
The fireplace doesn’t have a chimney?
It has
Is the price inclusive of the gazebo muema?
The house
Very much interested
Noce house. What is tgevtital cist.
Is the house burglar proof? If i come with my hammer and hit the wall ten times, will i not access the house immediately?
The owners of such houses own pistols. Try it at your own peril
Those in mabati houses should face which side when praying before sleeping?
Any wall can be broken by a hammer. Thieves nowadays don't break walls
Great job.
Henry sounds like a southeastern Nigerian. I can pick the accent.
Where is kitale
Western Kenya.
Google is your friend 😅
@@ladysafari01 it's not in western it's in the north Rift
@@annemideva7734 correct but I am assuming the person asking is not Kenyan...so the general location of Kitale is West .
Nipe number ya MD kingdom precast and contractors number
Kitale pande gani?
Waoh
How does this hold up against calamities like floods being experienced now? Talk about insurability as well.
With floods, your house's foundation must be built correctly. Precast panels are an alternative to stone blocks but not your house's foundation. Ensure you build your foundation according to the design specifications done by your structural engineer.
21,000 KSh/SM
That's awesome! Pretty affordable IMO

Kitale wapi
For privacy reasons, I can't share the exact location in Kitale
