Detailed Cost Breakdown for Building a 7x6 Meter House with Shed Roof in Kenya

Let me adjust the cost estimate based on the new prices for metal sheets, blocks, and the availability of timber:

1. Foundation and Excavation

No changes in this section.

Total Foundation Cost: Ksh 98,850


2. Wall Construction (Blocks)

  • Blocks:
    • 100.8m² x 12 blocks/m² = 1,210 blocks
    • New block price: 1,210 blocks @ Ksh 45/block = Ksh 54,450 (previously Ksh 84,700)

Other material costs remain the same.

Adjusted Total Wall Construction Cost:

  • Blocks: Ksh 54,450
  • Cement: Ksh 19,500
  • Sand: Ksh 18,000
  • Steel bars: Ksh 12,000
  • Labor: Ksh 40,000

New Total Wall Construction Cost: Ksh 143,950 (previously Ksh 174,200)


3. Roofing (Shed Roof)

  • Metal sheets:
    • Roof area = 44.1m²
    • New price: 44.1m² @ Ksh 600/m² = Ksh 26,460 (previously Ksh 39,690)

Since timber is available, no need to account for purchasing timber.

Adjusted Total Roofing Cost:

  • Metal sheets: Ksh 26,460
  • Nails and fasteners: Ksh 3,000
  • Ridge cap: Ksh 3,500
  • Labor: Ksh 15,000

5. Doors and Windows

Total Plumbing and Electrical Cost: Ksh 85,000


7. Finishing (Plastering, Painting)

These adjustments reflect the lower cost of blocks and metal sheets, and the availability of timber, resulting in lower total construction costs.
