Case Study: Kenya
Kenya has a housing crisis: Only 35 000 new units
are developed each year against an estimated demand
of 150 000 units. One of the key factors impeding
adequate, affordable and decent housing is the cost
of building materials.
To address this problem, Surelink International Limited
embraced the Hydraform Building System and has a number
of spectacular successes to reference. Perhaps the most
notable of these is the three-storey Valley Apartments in
Nakuru. Others currently in the pipeline include a number
of upmarket housing developments.
Commercial
housing markets
A local construction company is taking full advantage
of the highly cost-effective Hydraform Building System
to build commercial housing projects in Nairobi.
