The house is in Mwala, Machakos County, Kenya. In addition, Paul explains to us how Makiga machines produce the blocks and how they were used to build this house. Enjoy!
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.
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
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
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
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
@@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.
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 ?
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

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.
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.

I think I love interlocking bricks more than the precast. Lovely home
You need to do more publicity, nice technology
Thank you
This is a good job from Makiga Building. Kudos
Thank you very much
Great job keep up and be blessed.
What happens if I want the same design of house in nairobi where we don't have that kind of soil
There's an option of using quarry dust
Hello Nick Mwema, can you please compare the integrity and construction costs of the Makiga bricks with precast concrete slabs
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.
I will try my best

This looks nice ..
Thank you

Cheers Nick Muema and Makiga , kindly bring more units from makiga very interesting . Good job .
nice job guys
Welding guys Bado .
❤❤
great work,,,great video and very informative...the guest was also amazing
Thank you
This house is pretty
Black cotton can also make blocks..just research 1. As long as the soil isn't used as foundation stones but they can work.
I like the house design
Give us estimated cost of this exact house,we know it varies depending on so many things
The shell cost was 1.6m
I'm loving this.i have always wanted to build a brick house
How can i contact you directly re construction in Malindi?
Waaaooo l think good things are left for later. Nick it's a perfect Vlog
Can concrete blocks made to be interlocking
I love the workmanship.
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
Pretty good estimation

He said the framework is 15k per sqm while plus finishing it's 23k per sqm , you don't need to add the two.
Very beautiful house. Great job Makiga
Thank you very much
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.
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

Can you use makinga machine to make concrete making machine
They're designed for soil compression

Thanks for clarifying @PropertyNoma
Is it cheaper than precast?@@AnnahMungai
Can you make cement block with makinga
It's designed for soil compression
Yes it is possible to make concrete blocks with stone quarry dust and cement
How much did it cost to build that house?
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
Kindly please tell us the total cost from foundation to finish @@makigaconstruction
@@makigaconstructionplease give us a rough estimate of the amount used itasaidia wengi instead of having people calculate per square meter
