JengaCost
Price, plan and design a Kenyan house in minutes
JengaCost turns a plot and a budget into a house design with plans, 3D and a full bill of quantities priced at Kenyan county rates. Builders get a steel take-off and materials schedule; QSs get a detailed elemental BOQ. Pay by M-Pesa.
Hi Product Hunt! I'm Duncan, and I built JengaCost because getting a
straight answer to "what will this house cost to build in Kenya?"
usually means paying for a drawing first and a quantity surveyor
second, and waiting weeks for both.
JengaCost does the first pass in minutes:
pick from 37 designs or describe your own, and the AI designer
checks it for layout problems before you see it;
get plans, a 3D model and a bill of quantities priced for your
county;
Pro users get the detailed elemental BOQ a Kenyan QS would issue,
steel to order by bar size, and a full materials schedule down to
bags of cement and feet of timber.
It's built for how Kenya builds: machine-cut stone, mabati or flat
concrete roofs, rates by county, and payment by M-Pesa.
These are estimates, not stamped drawings: every page says where an
architect, engineer or QS needs to take over. I'd love feedback from
anyone who has built, or is about to build, in East Africa. What
would make this useful enough to send to your fundi?
