Designing for Murang'a
- Black cotton soil is common in parts of Nairobi, Athi River, Syokimau, Kitengela, Ruiru and Juja. It swells and shrinks with the seasons, so foundations must go deeper to firm ground or use a raft. A soil test is strongly recommended.
- Plots are small and expensive, so maisonettes, flat roof designs with rooftop terraces and rental apartments give you the most value per square foot.
- Nairobi and the surrounding counties enforce setbacks, plot coverage, parking ratios and height zoning, so the design must match your zone before you submit.
Popular materials here: machine-cut Nairobi blue stone, Juja and Machakos stone, concrete block, and flat concrete roofs or clay/concrete tiles.
