Question 1

How much does construction cost per square metre in Nairobi?

Accepted Answer

Indicatively Ksh 25,000–45,000 per sqm depending on finish level, with renovation from Ksh 5,000–20,000 per sqm. Those are planning figures only — an accurate number needs a site visit and a bill of quantities, which we do free of charge.

Question 2

Do you do free site visits?

Accepted Answer

Yes, anywhere in the Nairobi metropolitan area at no cost. Outside the metro we recover travel only, agreed with you in advance.

Question 3

How long does a typical project take?

Accepted Answer

A residential home runs roughly 6–10 months, an office fit-out 4–10 weeks, and a supply contract delivers within 3–7 days of order. Your programme is fixed in the proposal before work starts.

Question 4

How do payments work?

Accepted Answer

Staged payments against measured progress — typically a mobilisation deposit then milestone draws. We accept M-Pesa and bank transfer, and issue an ETR invoice for every payment.

Question 5

Are you registered and insured?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Harriscom Company Limited is registered PVT-6LUK5LZD under The Companies Act, 2015, is NCA compliant, and carries contractor's all-risk and workmen's compensation cover. Certificates are available for tender submissions.

Question 6

Which areas do you cover?

Accepted Answer

Nairobi and the wider metro (Kiambu, Kajiado, Machakos) as core territory, with active or completed projects across 12 counties. We take work nationwide where the scope justifies mobilisation.
