A note on Kenyan construction accuracy & labor
Materials in HomeCostify are priced from verified regional hardware supplier lists. However, labor in Kenya is always treated as a separate, clearly flagged typical range rather than blended into a single flat rate. Because masonry, carpentry, and roofing labor varies dramatically by county, terrain, and direct contractor negotiation, keeping materials and labor separated gives you full control at the bargaining table.
