I agree with the guys up there, it is not a cheap solution. Last year nilikuwa nimeenda show, and you can get better housing than a container at an even cheaper rate through concrete prefabs amd some other solution i cannot recall its name
I would say, in terms of cost effectiveness, a prefab would be the most efficient way to build, looking at it from a wastage point of view and unnecessary labour and logistics costs.
The all important factor is if you have ready cash to complete the project at once.

Kenyans are opening up to the idea of alternative cocoons for dwelling and work.
Our penchant for brick and mortar construction is beginning to see a relative dilution, thanks to the gradual effect of exposure to alternative ways.

Shipping containers offer incredible flexibility and can be put together in an infinite combination of human-centred spaces.
What follows is a study of a home set-up comprising two 40 foot and two 20 foot containers.

Total enclosed areas:
Ground Floor - 68 square metres
First Floor - 28 square metres

Worth considering.
If you knew how old this technology has existed...I came to know of it in 2009 when I lived in one and containers are great

NV is right injinia hio basics na 1 million bado utasema ongeza pesa ya simiti zingine, mbao pia hio ni experience nimeona kwa kamjengo kangu.
Bro, ata kwa bq kuna kitu inaitwa provisional sum.... it covers the unforseen costs or item that cannot be priced . There is no running away from it but client wengi think you are trying to shortchange them which is not necessarily true. But the cost should be reasonable.
