Tips on How to Build a Cheap House in Kenya

Building a house can be a very costly affair, especially at this time that we have witnessed a rise in the cost of many products – including building materials.

We will give you some of the tips you can make use of to get that dream house you have been longing for at a cheaper cost – but at the same time maintaining quality and safety standards.

Materials

When picking the kind of materials you want to use in building your house, always settle on the commonly available ones and have a high supply within your area – these materials usually cost less and will save you interruptions and delays in your construction site.

Size

Rather than building a big house, consider settling on a small one – it is more affordable to build and economical to maintain.

You should also avoid using too big windows in your house. Reducing the size of your house and windows significantly reduces the general cost of the house as it minimizes construction expenditure.

Build Tall

If you insist on building a large house, it is advisable to build a two or three-storey house, rather than a single storey that covers a lot of the space on the ground. The taller the house, the cheaper it will cost you – because foundation and roof will be smaller, which means it will cost you less, and other works like ventilation and plumbing are also cheaper on storey buildings.

Roofing

A house roof is usually what draws the most attention and it is easily one of the most expensive part of a house. The tip here is to avoid complicated roofing designs and go for simpler ones like gable roofs which are usually less expensive – because they don’t require additional framing, compared to hipped roofs.

Floor plans

It is always difficult and expensive to construct complex shapes – so it is advisable to choose simple house plans – either rectangular or square which will help cut costs as no extra work and equipment will be needed.

Plans with fewer corners and angles will also help efficiently utilize your materials.

How Women Can Protect Their Property Rights After Marriage

They say property has no gender, but history shows a different reality, where property ownership has favoured men. This inequality is still evident, especially when it comes to inheritance after the death of a spouse. Even though Kenya’s 2010 Constitution guarantees equal rights for men and women, many women still struggle to secure their rights to property. So, how can women make sure their rights are respected after marriage? Baoriat Agencies explains six key ways to ensure fair property distribution in case of death or separation. 1. Registering Jointly Owned Property When a couple buys property together, it’s important to register it under both names. This guarantees that the other automatically inherits the property if one partner dies. Make sure both names are clearly listed on the title deed as co-owners. 2.
