A Kenyan posted images on the X platform, showing a mansion still under construction, inviting comments from Kenyans who could identify the problem.
"The owner has just posted this on Facebook with the caption 'It has costed me 3.73M so far.' I choose to be silent and let you talk if you happen to see it," @Bossyator, who identifies as an expert in building and design, posted on X
How Kenyans reacted
@Maktoum_ke said:
By the way, is there a way to sue engineers and constructors who build houses like this? Is it the owner who has accepted this, and if that is so, how can he be okay in a house like this without columns surely.
@LlewellynOuya
Building is costly boss.
@NomicsKenya
I pity most people in the comment section. This thing has no columns. It's standing on the promises of God. I would never wish to work on this site. Ticking time bomb. Anyway, inanyoroshwa na plaster.
@TheCentralView_ said:
People asking for columns in a G+1 house. It is not a must!
@mrefu_juma said:
Am hoping those blocks were tested for their strengths to be used for load-bearing walls. Otherwise that house will be full of cracks after plaster.
@bnakuti said:
Very much possible. Excavation for that black cotton, foundation slab around 1.5M. All wallings around 1 M., then shutter (beams, koroga etc) ground & 1st floor, piping (elec, plumbing etc) around 1.23M.
@Alexmbeka
This is poorly done, and to make it worse, I can't see the columns.
