House plans in Siakago

Building a house in Siakago: what to know

Siakago sits in Kenya's Central & Mt Kenya region, with a cool, wet highland climate with cold nights and hilly, sloping plots. That shapes the design: plan for the cold: a fireplace, well-sealed windows and good roof insulation make a big difference in Nyeri, Nyandarua, Meru and Embu.

Sloping sites are common, so the design should step with the land. Retaining walls and drainage are planned at the site visit.

Local builders in and around Siakago commonly work with dressed stone, cypress timber, clay tiles and steep pitched roofs. At the site visit we check your plot's size, slope, soil, access road, power and water connection points, and neighbouring buildings, so the design fits your site and passes the Embu County approval the first time.
