Avoid These Costly Mistakes During Your Construction Project

Building a home, office, or commercial property in Kenya is a significant investment. Unfortunately, many projects run into delays, budget overruns, or structural issues due to common but avoidable mistakes. Whether you’re a first-time builder or a seasoned investor, knowing what pitfalls to dodge can save you time and money.

1. Skipping Professional Help

Relying on unqualified contractors or fundis might seem cheaper—but it often leads to substandard work, legal complications, and costly repairs later. Always work with a licensed construction company with experience in managing large and small-scale projects.

Briztop Construction offers expert project management, architectural design, and quantity surveying—all under one roof.

2. Poor Budget Planning

Many projects stall mid-way due to underestimated costs. From materials to labour and permits, you need a detailed Bill of Quantities (BoQ) to avoid surprises.

Our quantity surveyors prepare detailed costing and timelines so you stay financially prepared.

3. Ignoring Soil Testing & Site Analysis

Some builders skip geotechnical analysis, only to face foundation issues. Soil testing ensures your building’s foundation is stable and long-lasting.

We conduct site analysis before design and foundation work, reducing structural risk.

4. Not Getting Proper Approvals

Starting construction without the right permits from county authorities or NCA can lead to demolitions, penalties, or project delays.

Briztop Construction assists in obtaining permits and documentation across Kenya.

5. Using Substandard Materials

Using cheaper materials might reduce initial costs—but leads to structural failure and high maintenance in the long run.

We prioritize quality-approved materials for durability and long-term performance.
