From Architectural Design to Completion- Bedsitter Housing Project in Ngobit, Laikipia
The Nyeri Ngobit Bedsitter Project reflects our integrated approach to construction — beginning with conceptual design and feasibility analysis and ending with complete structural delivery. Here’s how we brought the project to life:
1. Initial Consultation and Needs Assessment
Before breaking ground, our team conducted a site visit and community consultation to understand the needs of St. Joseph Ngobit. The aim was to provide quality housing that was cost-effective yet comfortable for its users. The client envisioned a facility that would serve a growing population of students, young professionals, and staff working within the institution or nearby farms and businesses.
2. Architectural Design and Planning
Our architectural team created custom designs tailored to the available land and the intended use of the property. We focused on:
- Compact layouts to maximize space
- Natural lighting and ventilation for energy efficiency
- Modern aesthetic appeal to attract long-term tenants
- Secure, gated access to enhance safety
Each bedsitter includes a living/sleeping area, a kitchenette, and a private bathroom. Despite the compact size, the units offer all essential amenities in a stylish, low-maintenance environment.
3. Regulatory Approvals
We handled all regulatory approvals including building permits, architectural review boards, and county-level planning documentation. Our knowledge of local construction regulations in Laikipia County ensured that the project met all standards before breaking ground.
4. Site Preparation and Foundation Works
The site in Sirima, Ngobit, required site clearing, leveling, and geotechnical assessment. Our team ensured proper drainage and a strong, well-engineered foundation using reinforced concrete footings. This foundation was designed to last — even in areas prone to weather changes and shifting soil conditions.
Construction Phase- Bedsitter Housing Project in Ngobit, Laikipia
With approvals in place and the site ready, we moved to the main construction phase. Every aspect of the build was handled by D-Squared Construction’s in-house team of professionals and supervised contractors.
Structural Work
We used quality local materials, including machine-cut stones, steel reinforcements, and cement blends optimized for durability. Load-bearing walls, slab casting, and roofing structures were executed to exact standards.
- Roofing: We installed durable, waterproof roofing sheets to prevent leakage and heat buildup.
- Windows & Doors: Aluminum-framed windows and steel doors were chosen for longevity and safety.
- Plumbing & Drainage: Proper water supply and drainage systems were laid out to avoid common issues such as backflow and leakage.
Electrical & Utility Installation
We implemented a low-maintenance, future-proof electrical system with adequate lighting and socket points. The units are ready for grid connection and solar integration where needed. Water tanks and distribution lines ensure residents always have access to clean water.
Interior Finishing
Finishes were selected to strike a balance between durability and comfort. Each unit was tiled with ceramic floors, painted with washable interior paint, and installed with quality plumbing fixtures.
Final Touches and Handover
Once construction was complete, our team conducted quality checks, touch-ups, and inspections to ensure everything was up to standard. We provided:
- Site cleaning and waste removal
- Landscaping and drainage correction
- Perimeter fencing and main gate installation
Upon completion, we handed over the project to St. Joseph Ngobit — ready for occupation.
Community and Economic Impact
This bedsitter project does more than just provide housing — it contributes to the economic and social development of the Ngobit area.
Employment Opportunities
The construction process created job opportunities for local workers, subcontractors, and suppliers. We believe in empowering communities by sourcing talent and materials locally whenever possible.
Affordable Housing
Housing demand is rising in Ngobit due to educational institutions and agricultural development. Our bedsitters offer affordable rental options, reducing pressure on students and low-income earners seeking safe accommodation.
Infrastructure Boost
With proper access roads, drainage, and lighting around the units, the project enhances local infrastructure, making Sirima more attractive to future investors and tenants.
