Laikipia County
Nanyuki is home to our office and workshop. Before drawing a house or pricing construction, we work through the plot location, access, ground conditions, water supply and the spaces you need. Use this guide to prepare for that first conversation.

Nanyuki, Laikipia County · On site now
A multi-storey residential development in Nanyuki comprising 45 dwelling units and a luxury penthouse. TimberStone's work started at foundation setout, and the building is now 80% complete with a 13-person passenger lift, ground-floor parking, broad balconies and a 200,000-litre underground water tank feeding 11 rooftop tanks.
View the project record and photographsTell us about any soil investigation, standing water or previous excavation on your plot. If black cotton soil is suspected, raise it before the foundation is priced. We arrange the site assessment with the design team; this guide does not prescribe a foundation for an unseen plot.
Discuss cold-weather comfort, roof insulation, morning sun and the views you want to keep in the design brief. At our Sweetwaters holiday-home project, the front was planned around views towards Mount Kenya and the Lolldaiga Hills. Your plot and how you intend to use the home should guide these choices.
Confirm the water source available to the particular plot and include storage in the project brief. At Sweetwaters we have constructed an underground water tank alongside the bungalow, utility house and DSQ. Discuss rainwater collection, tank access and the proposed capacity before agreeing the scope and budget.
Send the location pin and describe the last stretch of access road, gate width and any seasonal delivery difficulties. On open plots, flag wind exposure and where materials can be stored. These are questions for the site visit and design brief, so the quotation covers the actual site arrangements.
For a plot in Laikipia County, confirm the building-plan submission requirements and the current county assessment before setting an approval budget. The location of the actual plot matters when identifying the county responsible. We prepare the submission and follow it up for you; approval charges are confirmed for the project rather than quoted as a flat fee here.

Our base. Stone comes from the Laikipia and Meru quarries, sand mostly from the Ewaso Ng'iro and Timau side. Cement and steel come up from Nairobi or Nakuru, which is the main reason materials here sit a little above Nairobi yard prices.
Send us the location and roughly what you want to build. We will visit, look at the ground and come back with an honest figure.
