I think I love interlocking bricks more than the precast. Lovely home

I love the workmanship.

[@melodywakwabubi9317]

Waaaooo l think good things are left for later. Nick it's a perfect Vlog

[@lucysiringwani9931]

Very informative. It reminded me that my father moulded the bricks to build his family home. I would love to follow his foot path. More so your approach is eco-friendly, coast effective. Thank you for presentation.

[@bettynyambeki5430]

You need to do more publicity, nice technology

[@makigaconstruction]

Thank you

[@gbekko6970]

Hello Nick Mwema, can you please compare the integrity and construction costs of the Makiga bricks with precast concrete slabs

[@bettygachao9596]

That's great job. So beautiful.

[@totoshmuya4357]

C'est super 👍🏾

How I wish you guys were here in South Africa, I would be the first to get you to build me a beautiful house. You doing a great job. ❤

[@SintoiyasCollection]

Good Job Nick. I have heard about Makiga but have never seen a house made of it before and I have been looking forward to seeing homes made by Makiga. It's a great Affordable Housing Technology to consider.

[@winniewangui116]

I'm loving this.i have always wanted to build a brick house

[@samuelkiroko9210]

This is a good job from Makiga Building. Kudos

[@makigaconstruction]

Thank you very much

[@nimimi6563]

Very beautiful house. Great job Makiga

[@makigaconstruction]

Thank you very much

[@georgekiilu]

This in kikamba is called "mavali"... My dad built the family house with the soil bricks and it's sturdy.

[@PropertyNoma]

Thanks for sharing

[@Karanjathrive]

This house is pretty

[@cyprianotieno7088]

I like the house design

[@danielkyalo903]

nice job guys

[@Kagwamas]

Please can u highlight more projects done by Makiga...am leaning more towards compared to others you have highlighted I just need to see more projects done first. Thank you.

[@PropertyNoma]

I will try my best

[@Kagwamas]

​@@PropertyNomathank you.

[@Benkimaru]

This should be cheap, very cheap. You just need to buy the machine and higher handy men to make the bricks. Pay them per day. Also use a local fundi. If you look for Makiga, you will pay for the brand

[@wandacadofarm.5759]

Great job keep up and be blessed.

[@AnnahMungai]

Thanks Nick for opening us up to various options. The house is beautiful but the price is:- 1. Higher than precast 2. Stone blocks 3. Twisted blocks 4. Cut stones 5. Etc I wonder why ?

[@Mnmmnmm-hj6nx]

Oh. I did not know this. But isn't the price offset somewhere else in the building process ama ?At any rate the natural earth look of the makiga blocks is nice

[@PropertyNoma]

The cost per square metre is the floor area, not the walling only. Eg, if a house is 100 sqm, you can roughly estimate the structure cost to be ksh 15,000x100sqm=1.5M. Incl finishes, ksh 23000×100sqm=2.3M

[@AnnahMungai]

Thanks for clarifying ​@PropertyNoma

[@dennisagola5090]

Is it cheaper than precast?​@@AnnahMungai

[@gbekko6970]

@@PropertyNoma Hello Nick, do you mean the total cost is Kshs 3.8m for this 85 sqm house ?

[@homerenovationskenya]

Black cotton can also make blocks..just research 1. As long as the soil isn't used as foundation stones but they can work.

[@wanderinderituh459]

Give us estimated cost of this exact house,we know it varies depending on so many things

[@makigaconstruction]

The shell cost was 1.6m

[@vincentleshamta9553]

Do you specialized contractors for the build using these blocks

[@jamesnditu1696]

Nice house but why didnt you show us the rooftop?

[@pentaerico]

Ĝreetings,i wish to know wether the 23k sqm includes the cost making the bricks ,kindly.

[@PropertyNoma]

Yeah I think it's inclusive

[@felixsunga7059]

Can concrete blocks made to be interlocking

[@Fire0101011]

Welding guys Bado .

[@MorineGathigia]

How long do this blocks last?

[@philipmwangi5270]

Love this concept more than the Precast. Correct me if i'm wrong! Cost: 85sqm * 15000 = 1,275,000 Kshs Lets say the finishing was like 75sqm * 23,000 = 1,725,000 kshs 1,275,000 + 1,725,000 = 3,000,000 Kshs I'll assume this house costed about 3.6M Kshs

[@PropertyNoma]

Pretty good estimation

[@sophiekamau3608]

I feel like the interlocking is way higher than precast and twisted block, if what you estimated is probably right ,such estimate with precast will give a high end interiors.my opinion though

[@felixallan2621]

He said the framework is 15k per sqm while plus finishing it's 23k per sqm , you don't need to add the two.

[@waluohopaulo2116]

The house looks good,but the cost of building it per SQM is more higher than even cement block/machine cut stones.Even twist block is cheaper per SQM.

[@PropertyNoma]

The cost per square metre is the floor area, not the walling only. Eg, if a house is 100 sqm, you can roughly estimate the structure cost to be ksh 15,000x100sqm=1.5M. Incl finishes, ksh 23000×100sqm=2.3M

[@waluohopaulo2116]

@@PropertyNoma The cost of sub-structure upto super structure should not reach upto a million considering these factors 1)The home owner has used available soil in the compound 2) Being bricks are interlocking,to lay them will be quicker and cheaper compared to conventional method 3)The soil topography and soil type has favoured the owner.

[@jibrilahmed2241]

What happens if I want the same design of house in nairobi where we don't have that kind of soil

[@PropertyNoma]

There's an option of using quarry dust

[@JesekahJaeAmaniOfficial]

How can i contact you directly re construction in Malindi?

[@felixsunga7059]

Can you use makinga machine to make concrete making machine

[@PropertyNoma]

They're designed for soil compression

[@levinaringoma]

Can the blocks ve plastered, and are they strong and durable

[@PropertyNoma]

Yes, for example, in this house, the interior walls were plastered

[@makigaconstruction]

Yes the blocks are strong, durable and can be plastered like you see on the video the living room area and bedrooms

[@makigaconstruction]

Yes it is possible to make concrete blocks with stone quarry dust and cement

[@Lorna.k.M]

​@@makigaconstruction Awesome

[@deemambo8596]

How much did it cost to build that house?

[@makigaconstruction]

This would cost you from 16,000 to 18,000 shillings per sq meter for the shell the house depending on location do you have ur plan

[@levinaringoma]

Kindly please tell us the total cost from foundation to finish ​@@makigaconstruction

[@Kagwamas]

​@@makigaconstructionplease give us a rough estimate of the amount used itasaidia wengi instead of having people calculate per square meter

[@purityfrancis813]

If Makiga cannot disclose the total cost of the featured house, most likely, when contracted, the cost might be higher than what is mentioned per sqm2. Makiga property Noma followers appreciate direct response when it comes to cost. Thanks Nick for the effort you make to bring us options in building.
