Many viewers keep asking about how they can use our plan! Well, in this video we share as much as possible...plans, renders, process, changes, lessons and all! Feel free to "borrow" and use whatever works for you. Just make sure you do a much better job... now that you know more than we did at the time! Also, avoid the mistakes I talk about toward the end
Great, I admire your life. Am in the US and I plan to come back to my country 🇰🇪 and live I the village. Watching your story and Jael of the village story tells me this’s possible. Great job great investment 🙌🙏
Thank you for sharing details of your house layout. Im doing design with an architect, my needs are specific and clear... It is not necessary to make all rooms ensuite.. some rooms can share common bathroom, this lowers the cost. Hidden roof needs professional Fundis and a single poor workmanship can cause problem of leakages. The most potential is to give time and plan well with the drawings and space utilization. Put in your plan to install CCTV solar camera in the site, build temporary toilet for use of Fundis, build temporary store room. This will help you alot before you start building.
You had a great approach towards coming up with the design brief and covered the main areas that make a house a home. Having a master bedroom downstairs and taking into consideration mobility factors is also very insightful and practical. And YES, a shed roof is the cheapest roofing option just ensure the fundi overlaps the roofing sheets adequately and have the gutter done well.

I am glad people asked, this is what I was looking for on your channel and others I follow. To have a sense of what it entails to build your dream home far from home. I know you have mentioned in prior videos that your family were instrumental in your success, some of us aren't that fortunate.
Baba Odidi, I know it was challenging for you to settle on that specific house plan. I'm thinking of building in the village too, and I find myself torn because every plan I come across fascinates me. I’m sure that once I choose one, there will be a moment when I’ll think I should have picked a different one. Thanks for the tips Prof.
Absolutely stunning 😍 Another tip is to always have a complete bedroom and bathroom downstairs. This is convenience in case of aging parents or an accident and one cannot go up and down the stairs.. As a matter of fact making the doorways and the downstairs section wheelchair accessible is even better.
I feel you, I built in Nairobi and can be very comfortable there, but my heart is in the village and I always gravitate there. I have resigned to the fact that Nairobi will in future be investment income, not a retirement home.
Good job prof Odidi. Quick question, where did you purchase your interlocking blocks? I need them for my compound in kisii. Thank you sir. Keep up the good work 👏
Since I was a child I was concerned with accessibility the two room toilet and shower was not a good plan. So glad things have changed hope the development multiplies as more people construct.
Odidi, I am based in Australia and I am planning to build my house. I have very much had issues with finding the right contractor. Do you mind sharing the contractor that you used to build your house? I am desperate. The idea of my house is similar to what your plan was. Please help
Any plug on these remote jobs? I've done more than seven exams and can't seem to have what they need. I've heard you mention that you plan on working from home. That's my cup of tea but sina nyota 😅 help a brother.
@WuonOdidi I have a diploma in business management. But I've been working as a sales executive up until last month when the devil woke up on me. I got a nod to join Thomas University in Georgia but I can't get transcript evaluation, can't get ACT test due to financial issues 😁😁 let alone statement of finance. I need a remote job to raise these funds. I was wondering if you can offer any advice. I would greatly appreciate sir.
Thoroughly enjoying your videos specially your commentary on various issues. If it's something you're comfortable with, I would like to hear your views on the recent Trump victory. There's a lot of fear mongering surrounding the fate of immigrants now that we'll have another Trump administration. What's your opinion?

Yes! We offer consulting services to those without families that can do it!
Thanks so much Wuon Odidi for always giving us the tips. Though some of us already did the mistakes. But now I know and will share with somebody.
Yes! Now we know better!! Thanks!

Road to 15K 🎉
🙏
YES!!! Thank you so much!
I like the landscape. What would be a price range for the landscape you did ?
That is hard to estimate without knowing coverage and type of grass installed! Also, it can be very cheap if you use local folks vs hiring.a company!
I feel you, I built in Nairobi and can be very comfortable there, but my heart is in the village and I always gravitate there. I have resigned to the fact that Nairobi will in future be investment income, not a retirement home.
very true!! Join us here is the village!!
Waiting ✋️

I’m confused. I thought your Kenya home was a big white MacMansion? I really like this house you are showing.
its the same house..just different color
Brother...what would you do differently?
Alot :) More living room areas, smaller bedrooms, extra office etc!
Where can I get such seats ? Very nice
We get them at home living!
Odidi, I am based in Australia and I am planning to build my house. I have very much had issues with finding the right contractor. Do you mind sharing the contractor that you used to build your house? I am desperate. The idea of my house is similar to what your plan was. Please help
Sure..please text me on whatsapp: +254708118288
How big did it end up being and how big did you want it initially?
May be just a little smaller..especially the bedrooms!!
