How pre-fabricated Structures Are Addressing The Rising Requirement of Housing Units in Kenya
The demand for housing units in Kenya is increasing quite rapidly. As more and more people chose to migrate to the capital - Nairobi from their villages in search for a job, the bleak housing situation isn’t helping them. There is a demand for as much as 200,000 housing units in Kenya whereas only 40,000 housing units gets built in reality. This means only a small fraction of people get to live in the house they imagined of having. The students and the middle class earners suffer in such scenarios. Pre-fabricated construction could be the solution to this issue. It is less time consuming and also time-effective! Different kind ofvehicles in Kenya are used to carry these pre-fab materials and later install it.
There are quite a few companies from where you can avail the facilities of construction vehicle for transporting the construction materials and pre fabricated materials. Trucks in Kenya can now be easily available thanks to such set ups. There are different kinds of vans and trucks you can pick from based on your requirement.
Considering the booming requirement of houses in Kenya all sorts of construction equipment and vehicles are readily available. One such example is that of a wheel loaders. Wheel loaders in Kenya can be easily bought or rented depending on your requirement. It is an ideal construction vehicle which is used to life heavy materials like snow, sand, gravel, dirt, gravel, debris, logs, raw materials of any kind, rocks, wood chip, recycled materials, and so on. It is very convenient on the construction site. It can be used to load the materials on the truck, dig the soil on which the foundation has to be laid. The loaders run on wheels unlike bull dozers which have a conveyor belt type mechanism. They come in various capacities like 0.5 cubic meter to 36 cubic meter. The wheels provide good mobility and speed to the loaders.
Forklift in Kenya is easily available. A forklift is also a heavy duty machine used extensively on construction sites. A forklift can be used to lift and shift objects to a short distance. Forklifts find great application on construction sites. It can be used to lift steel beams, cement bags, lumber, bricks and other construction material that would otherwise be difficult to lift by human hands. It’s very helpful with pre-fabricated type of construction where every element or part of the house is dry and needs to be lifted and moved from one place to another. Unlike wet construction pre-fabricated construction can cost you almost 30% less. Moreover the speed at which you can construct at same number of houses using the wet method and pre-fabricated method is way higher in the latter one.
