How much it cost to build a apartment.

I know the question is vague and u need more details to determine the price.
I only want to know roughly estemated. So lets say i wanna build 10 apartments, how much will it cost roughly thinking of stones, metal, doors, kitchen, bathroom etc etc per apartment.
And i was thinking of size between 70m2 to 80m2.

sincerely?..“i know the question is vague…”

Rough estimate at Kes. 40,000 per square metre gives you Kes. 3m per apartment.

Hehehe, yeah i know…

If u never build the chance is smaller that u can estimate the costs.
U thinks it will cost 1 million, or 2 million, or 3 milion per appartment?

Ah…u answered while i was answering gashwin.

So roughly 3million. And thats just for materials or labour wages too?

Materials, labour and average quality finishes.

Thanks for pointing me out…altho its a bit more than i expected.

Are kenyas keen on be able to park their car within the compound?
How much u could charge more for providing a parking spot?

A car spot costs money to develop. Cost of the land it is on, concrete/material/labour, substructures if there are any. So the end user has to pay for it.

Street level parking can only work in some places. & the county governments had plans to charge for this.

Different locations, different cost. Bei ya material, transport na labour

Thanks for replying.
So do u think its worth to use the ground zero floor as parking and build the apartments on pilars?(understand what i mean?)
All for finding renters more quick.

Obviously this chap is not a Kenyan! His broken English notwithstanding. Good query nonetheless.

Ah yeah ofcourse, quit logical.
In this case its in mtwapa. U think every material that is needed is to find around mombasa? (so the transport costs are low?)

No, good observation. Im european and the wife is kenyan :slight_smile:

Depends on a number of factors. But as a base assumption G zero is a good place for parking. Your structural engineer would have to place the columns evenly such that you can fit cars in the parking spots properly.

I know some guys who do good work on such development management/feasibility studies for all kinds of projects. If you’d like detailed information.

Yeah i would not mind, even appreciate it, if u have phone numbers of architects/building contructions companies from mombasa/mtwapa area.
U can send them in a PM if u dont mind. At least we would have a start.

Hapa kuna senti za kuliwa. Hi if your building in Mtwapa then you must provide parking. Seems you have done some ground work/research

What stones do you intend to use? From Kilifi I assume?

Huyu mlami atalambwa vibaya… Cheza na Mtwapa.

building cost ya bungalow Nairobi ni kama how much per sqm?

Im realy orientating my self. Yeah ive seen in the coast they build with these big stones (kilifi stones?).
While in nairobi they build with regular bricks.
Does that mean there are no regular bricks available in mombasa? or what is more expensive?
