Kenya Construction Cost Guide
What does it cost to build in Kenya?
Indicative figures by house type and by location, calculated using the same methodology as our free Cost Estimator tool.
Estimates provided by TEKEEY Tools are preliminary and intended for planning purposes only. Actual construction costs, quantities and engineering requirements depend on project-specific designs, site conditions, specifications, material prices and professional assessment.
By house type
2 Bedroom House
A 2-bedroom home is typically the most compact full house layout, often built on a smaller plot or as a starter home.
View cost guide3 Bedroom House
The most common family house size, balancing space and cost.
View cost guide4 Bedroom House
A larger family home, often built as a bungalow or split across two floors.
View cost guide5 Bedroom House
A larger home, usually built over two floors to manage the footprint on the plot.
View cost guideBungalow
A single-storey house on its own foundation footprint — no upper-floor structure, but a larger roof and foundation area relative to a multi-storey home of the same size.
View cost guideMaisonette
A two-storey house on a single title, popular where plot size is limited relative to the required living area.
View cost guideApartment / Flats
Figures below are per typical unit. A full apartment block adds shared costs — lifts, common corridors, parking and shared services — on top of the per-unit figure.
View cost guideCommercial Building
Commercial costs vary far more than residential — this is an illustrative starting point only. Retail, office and warehouse specifications differ significantly.
View cost guideRenovation
Renovation costs don't scale predictably by floor area the way new construction does — cost depends entirely on the scope and condition of the existing structure.
