The Mabati Mansion: Alternative Construction in Kenya 

If you get the foundation right, the wet areas right and the general drainage right, a mabati house is okay.

In USA houses are made of Timber and they are beautiful. There forest cover is 34% which is enough to support their local industries. Our forest cover is 8%, so, bado.

Mabati houses are not cheap

Also Check Out The Croft In Nakuru..Still an Air BNB

The wet areas and tiling (tiles) fiber cement board is used

My house is built of mabati and it not cold , it all depends on the house size, mabati I bought gikomba the hard ones , I just wanted something different,

Hii nyumba is more expensive than a stone house. Also design ya hii nyumba ni ya honeymooners sio ya familia

...my friend, this is not as cheap as you are implying eti plywood etc....enda camps za wazungu utaelewa. It's a whole concept thought-out including furniture....

You can use styrofoam for insulation. Waste foam like from furniture makers

Beautiful home but must be very cold, hot😊

Enyewe ni poa sana. Next time ukiweza tuelezee kuhusu nyumba za precast concrete pannels tuelewe zaidi which is which before tuanze mjengo.

I know this woman she likes adventures and travelling to mombasa

What is the lifespan of this building, cheap is expensive

Jaribu nyumba ya soil blocks

It is a masonry house clad in mabati

Me I just want a 🧱 house.😀

Mabati ya gikomba dio Gani?
