Shops, warehouses and small offices, delivered as a finished shell ready for a tenant fit out.

Renovations

Roof replacement, extensions and full internal refits, priced by stage the same way a new build is.

From 35,000,000 shillings

The seven stages

Every contract runs on these. A payment falls due when a stage is signed off by you, and never before.

  1. 01

    Site and foundation

    Setting out, excavation, footings and the foundation walls up to damp course. Photographed and signed off before anything rises.

  2. 02

    Walling to ring beam

    Blockwork, columns and the ring beam. This is the stage where a plan becomes a shape you can walk through.

  3. 03

    Roof

    Trusses, cover and rainwater goods. The building is watertight at the end of this stage or the stage is not signed.

  4. 04

    First fix

    Electrical conduit, plumbing runs, door and window frames. Everything that hides behind a wall goes in here and gets photographed first.

  5. 05

    Plaster and screed

    Internal and external plaster, floor screeds, and the first coat of paint.

  6. 06

    Second fix

    Fittings, sanitary ware, switches, doors and joinery. The house starts to look finished.

  7. 07

    Handover

    Final paint, cleaning, a snag list agreed with you, and every snag closed before the last payment falls due.

The programme is a document, not a promise

Before the first block is laid you get a written programme with a date against every one of the seven stages. If we miss a stage date by more than ten working days, and it was our fault, the contract carries a penalty we pay you.

  • A written programme with a date on every stage
  • A penalty on us for our own delay beyond ten working days
  • Weekly photographs of the site, sent whether you ask or not
  • Your own engineer is welcome on site any day, unannounced

Send us your drawings

With an approved drawing we return a staged quote and a programme inside five working days. Without one, we will tell you what you need first.
