Hello Nick, I love your videos and love your new building technologies highlights. As a Kenyan, I can appreciate how difficult it is for a Kenyan to convince other Kenyan that a new technology is worth considering. Keep doing what you're doing!
Wow! Kevin's house is awesome, it's very spacious, I looooove❤ the high ceilings and the front windows. Please do a follow up in a couple of months after the house is painted and the landscape is done. Thank you! 👍
Having watched this and the other parts i saw the foundation was taking a big share having the trenches as deep as 5 ft , the one thing i noted with this precast is that you have to finish a certain phase in one go (CON) but you save on manpower, clutter that comes from stone which usually is unaccounted waste and this can be done when you are away (PROS) its therefore great way for moving with speed and achieving a lot .in remarkable shot time, its a good budget for a house of this size
Must really appreciate the confidence in presentation of this precast concept and the fact that Kevin has welcomed us to learn more about this in his project. This is amazing, efficient and cost effective and I'm following this channel for future plans. Thank you Nick.
As an advocate of affordable housing, I love this concept. Currently, I have a project that should be coming up in Ugunja-Siaya County and the main delay for me has been how to implement affordable housing for the 14 units Rural Air BnB. My main thoughts has been how one can have the panels done on site or how the panels can be rightly built within the house frame after doing the pillars? This is my mind boggling question. It would be interesting to hear what others think, for instance after doing the pillars and entire frame, can we put up the panels/walls rightly using a webbed wire, and slotting required pipes as needed? Is this possible? What do Engineers think and Non-Engineers too😊😊😉😉
Hello Nick, I have followed the construction of this house right from the beginning. Please clarify on the structure costs of 1.9m (foundation - 600k, wall panels - I believe around 324k, roofing 230k) What was the other amount for? A breakdown please.
I have a problem with that metallic stove. It is a safety concern not just for kids but for everyone. First of all it is placed in an area where it curtails movement. Secondly if it was hot and someone accidentally tripped on it, it could burn someone coz it is metallic. Just touching it may cause damage to skin. Else, everything else is great
That is a beautiful house, however the kitchen workmanship is bad! The fundis who installed the backsplash tiles (in the dining and kitchen) messed them up by not cleaning the cement, and then the painter decided to make matters worse by not properly wiping off the paint that had spilled on the tiles!
Hi Nick, God bless u for the awesome work u do. I have 128 precast panels. I need to build a wall. I'm looking for someone to do it. Kindly help me with a few of your contacts.
@@PropertyNoma thanks for your response, I see your buildings are very strong,solid and stable, while in Nigeria our cement is three times cheaper than yours, but our houses are made with hollow blocks made of sand cement and water, not strong as urs. @Nigerian Engineers why?

This is incredible. In less than 3 months you have a lovely home with precast, great job!
Waoh I have bn waiting for this
How much has this house cost.
Hi Nick, thanks for your insightful videos. Is the 3.2m inclusive of labour?
Hello Nick Mimi ni plamber nko Kiambu ebu niconect na Job za plambing
This Kevin guy is very thoughtful of others for allowing the house to inspire others. May he never lack anything in life.
The precast method is great and time saving. But engage good designers and better finishing 👍
@@user-wr9fn4ny4iDo you have any evidence of this?we don't have adverse weather conditions in Kenya
@@user-wr9fn4ny4i Withstanding weather from which region in particular? In Kenya, weather varies from place to place.. 🤔

Much appreciated Lilian B
From what I've seen it seems Kenya is leading in utilizing new building technology.
Thank you so much brother farhaan from usa
This is such an eye opener. Thanks to the home owner to allow this.
I think the supposed boys room is the actual master because it's the largest
That is informative. It is not easy to say it is more cheaper as traditional block house
Wow! Kevin's house is awesome, it's very spacious, I looooove❤ the high ceilings and the front windows. Please do a follow up in a couple of months after the house is painted and the landscape is done. Thank you! 👍
Yeah his house is fantastic. I hope they will consent to a follow up video as they've already moved into their home
@@PropertyNoma It would be wonderful to see the house. I hope they say "yes".
The fact that they got a dutch oven in their home is wild. I will definitely add one to my home.

Man's got test. Beautiful house. They were very generous with space
The fundis need to clean the paint drips and ensure a neat interior finishing. Otherwise an excellent job.
That's why I believe precast will come with interior finish soon.
That will solve the "Kenyan fundi standards" problem 😉
And probably cheaper.
Looks great
Less is clearly more. Simple but different and great..there is hope for many of us
Beautiful and generous in space. Thanks Nick for educating us on the new techs. Well detailed and easy to follow presentation.
You're welcome Purity
Another dream come true. Good size house. I love bungalows
Yes indeed Wairimu

Like the house
Wouh I like the new way for building houses it saves time n money cheaper
Beautiful house if only the fireplace was integrated into the initial plan, as for the kitchen it would do with an island or a breakfast bar.
I love the stove fireplace better....kwanza decor ikifanywa poa ...will be really cute
This is a wood stove. Was already planned as is
Nice home.

The house is beautiful but the wood stove is kinda off interms of placement

The family will do the finishing sloely once they move. It's not yet done
Great. Can you show us the exterior color schemes that Mr. Kevin used?
They'll paint their house later on like I said in the video
How can I get this perfectly done House done for me as I live in USA
its a large beautiful home. congratulations Kevin. how much total money spend to this point please.
Ksh 3.2M to that point
Is it possible for kelvin to share contact for consultation purposes
Hi Nick, thanks do you have a video of the final product
This is the final one before the family moved into their home
Are the walls sound proof? I like sound proof rooms such that nikiwa in one rooms I can't hear what the other people in the other rooms are saying
Great stuff! is the plot of land part of the 3.2M?
No it's not
Hi Nick,
God bless u for the awesome work u do.
I have 128 precast panels.
I need to build a wall.
I'm looking for someone to do it. Kindly help me with a few of your contacts.
Eng Ian Kiptoo 0727 644782
Great job Nick...what's the total cost of building this....from a to z?
Ksh 3.2M
do they just paint the extrrior or do they plaster it?
You paint it as panels are pre-plastered already
Is it possible to do a precast foundation, and then continue with ordinary blocks?(ndarugo blocks)
For the foundation I don't think it's possible
What's the gauge, color and exact name of these window panes please? TIA
With Ugandan rains, hedge what happens around the window areas?
Precast?!
How much is to beuld 2bedroom
Where did you get the wood stove?
DIY
This is a great video...l would like us to work together and sponsor your videos and also construction chemicals.
Am curious about carbon dioxide poisoning. Would have been better if the stove was outside then radiating the heat ndani. My thoughts
What's the work of the chimney?
@@ayado180 okay chimney will do part of the job but you will definitely have some co2 ndani ya nyumba
If that house did cost 3.5m and you say you used precast technology then that price is inflated to the point where it has reached
Was the fire place un after thought.... It's miss placed
I think the family thought about installing it afterwards
No it wasn't. This is a wood stove and was planned as it it
Do you build i Agyendem Ghana??
Is that house for sale
I need that chimney plz,where can i get it from

I applaud the effort to build a family home. However, all I'm seeing is poor workmanship 🥲
Hebu elaborate 😮
Kenyan fundis are not keen on details and neat work. So many things look like patchwork.
I think one needs to visit the site often and not only trust the contractor
