K
enya 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.
