Generally to

The actual

project, locale of the house, the size of the unit etc.
First and
foremost when considering how much it
costs to build a 3 bedroom house in Kakamega, we look at the type of house
being constructed. Is it a Bungalow (single storey house) or a Mansionette (a
multiple storey house). A multiple storey house will require more detailed
plans and architectural designs as compared to a single storey house which is
less complex.
Secondly we
consider where the 3 bedroom house in Kakamega
will be located. In real estate, areas are classified as high income earners
area, middle income earners areas or low income earners locales. Every city has
such areas.
In Kakamega,
Milimani can be classified as a high income area. Residential areas like Polyview,
Lolwe, Tom Mboya are middle class areas while Nyalenda, Manyatta areas are
mostly low income earners areas.

meter is a minimum of kh50, 000 per unit. Middle space earners require spaces
of about 35m2 and cost per unit is ksh35, 000. Low income earners do mostly
with double rooms of about 25m2 construction cost being ksh25, 000 per unit.

factor we consider is the type and quality of the building materials. Is the
client purchasing them themselves? Does he/she plan to use the most affordable
or the best available? With West Kakamega

quantity right?
