What is JengaCost?
JengaCost is a construction cost estimator for Kenya. Pick one of 37 house designs, or describe your own, and it gives you plans, a 3D model and a bill of quantities priced at your county's rates, in minutes.
Getting a straight answer to "what will this house cost to build?" usually means paying for drawings first and a quantity surveyor second, and waiting weeks for both. JengaCost does that first pass in minutes, so you know whether a house is within reach before you spend money on professionals.
For any design it gives you:
- a floor plan, a section and a 3D model, all drawn from one model of the building;
- a bill of quantities (BOQ): every item measured and priced, from the foundation trenches to the paint;
- the cost of the plot works (boundary wall, gate, driveway, septic tank) as a separate figure;
- prices adjusted to whichever of the 47 counties you are building in;
- a steel schedule and a full materials list for the designs it draws;
- a way to compare houses side by side and to plan building in stages with the money you have.
Once you have a bill, you can send it to suppliers and professionals on JengaCost for real quotes.
