Every Kenyan knows someone who “knows a good fundi.” Maybe it’s your cousin’s friend from ushago, or a guy who once did a great paint job in your neighbour’s flat. He’s available, affordable, and you feel like you’re helping a brother out.
Until your doors won’t close properly. Your tiles start popping. Your house begins to crack—just months after moving in.
True Talk: That fundi you trusted may not have cost you much upfront, but the repair bills say otherwise.
Kenya’s construction scene is filled with talented hands—but not all hands build with precision. There’s a reason some fundis earn Ksh 700 a day while others charge Ksh 2,000: training, accuracy, and accountability.
When you hire based on familiarity alone:
A good fundi costs money. A poor one costs everything else.
And that’s just the visible stuff.
Even the best fundis make errors when unsupervised. Many times, you’ll be told “kazi iko sawa” but a closer look reveals:
Don’t trust “nimezoea hii kazi.” Ask what standards they follow. Ask who checks their work.
At Lanny Builders Limited, our team includes vetted professionals—not just people with tools, but with traceable experience and industry training. We ensure:
We don’t just build—we benchmark, inspect, and perfect.
Site Wisdom: Not all fundis are equal. Some build homes. Others build headaches.
No problem—but do it right:
If they’re truly skilled, they’ll thrive under scrutiny. If not, you’ll be glad you didn’t entrust them with your whole house.
Your home is too valuable to be a training ground. Loyalty is great—but don’t confuse it with suitability.
Street Smart Rule: Cheap labor isn’t always cheap. Especially when you have to redo it.
Lanny Builders Limited—because who builds your house matters just as much as how it’s built.
