The affordable housing sector in Kenya has a lot of players that promise affordable housing. In order to differentiate itself from the rest, this company provides ‘Truly affordable housing’. We were interested in finding out, how affordable is affordable? What exactly does the company offer?
Find their catalogue here, where they offer a variety of products ranging from panels, hollow blocks, and construction of singles, bedsitters, one bedrooms etc. Kwangu Kwako pricing.
I was initially attracted to the fact that I could easily own a house and stop paying rent in a month. Depending on the size of the house or number of units, they promise to deliver in a short time, having delivered a record 25 units in 3 Months.
What is included in the price?
The company prides itself in offering turnkey solutions. What this means is that the product being sold is ready to live at its most basic standard. The price includes everything from the ground slab, the walls and the roofing. It also includes finishes such as paint and a screed floor. However, one can customise it should you need to improve on the standard product, for example by adding bespoke wardrobes, high end tiling etc.
Pros:
1. Lowest cost per SQM in the market other than Mabati housing
2. Good technical support
3. Fast speed of construction
4. Project management which is a headache is included, hence hassle-free construction
5. Applicable for simple housing, building units for rent, hostels and Airbnb units.
6. Level of finish can match your budget
Notes:
1. For the items that are not included in the base price, such as high end fittings, one has to be ready to go back to the pocket.
Note: They do not sell houses but are contractors offering design and build services, therefore you must own land or have leased land. Pricing is based on their existing designs but they allow for bespoke designs.
If you want a low budget, good looking home, a fast build, a good return on investment or just looking to try something new for your non-traditional project, especially AirBnBs. I would highly recommend it. If you also want to tick the sustainability box, this is also a product for you. They offer a workable solution for anyone with a mid-level budget.

How much will it cost to construct a 150sqm 4 bedrooms house with standard finishing?
For approximation purposes, use a rate of 25,000 per sqm.
Hi Anthony, I appreciate your quick response. What about the precast panels I mentioned please.I have a preference for those if possible.
Let me know please.
Does this cost include other fittings like wardrobes and sinks,electrical wiring ,plumbing etc
I only includes the electrical wiring and plumbing, with a basic sink and storage area. Wardrobes and Cabinets are not included.
Hi, I am referring to this alternative building technology with concrete precast panels. Kwangu kwako wasn’t an option for Mombasa when I contacted them. https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMFo51Puc/
What’s the cost of this per sqm for a simple house. I am located in Msa and looking to have a small 2 BR, 10m × 3m rental unit.
Please let me know.
Thank you.
Kwango Kwako is now available in Mombasa! The prices for a 2 bedroom as as specified. Feel free to contact them for a more bespoke design if the ones on their website do not address your needs.
