Mabati house designs
Mabati houses are the most affordable and the easiest to build in the market. Mabati houses are made from iron sheets, both roof and walls. Walls can be made using Gauge 30 Mabati.
Iron sheets are attached either on timber or steel frames. Â These houses use wooden doors and windows, but you can install metallic doors and windows with glasses.
These houses can be decorated to improve their appearance and make them more habitable for your family so that they enjoy spending their time there. Some ways of improving mabati houses include:
- Using Gypsum or plywood to provide insulation.
- Install light gauge PVC ceiling.
- The backyard can have a garden with seats for relaxing time.
- Roof insulation with 3mm foil
Pre-Engineered Steel Buildings
Prefabricated house designs are gaining dominance in Kenya. Prefabricated houses are designed in the factory and then transported to construction sites where the parts and components are assembled. These houses are widely accepted in developed countries of the World such as USA, England, France and Germany among others.
These houses are easy and quick to construct and set up to high quality standards at low costs. Prefabricated construction significantly cuts down project costs and timelines and offers durable, secure and esthetically beautiful structures with the finishing on each tailor-made to suit individual tastes and budgets. We work with the leading suppliers to construct beautiful structures made from steel frames and insulated concrete wall panels.
Prefab houses are 30 to 50 percent cheaper than a traditional reinforced concrete and stone house.
