Philosophy: 5 Types of Doors, A Metaphor
A false door is a wall decoration that looks like a door. In ancient Egyptian Architecture, this was a common element in a tomb, the false door representing a door to the afterlife. The world is full of conmen and “Actual Experts”. Be watchful for they shall surely dash your dreams into stones…
The $300 House : the ultimate bottom-of-the-pyramid challenge
Local Solution It would be a great thing to see our local Architects, Engineers, Quantity Surveyors and other professionals pick up the Challenge. This will help fill the demand gap in the housing sector. Professional Bodies like the IQSK (Institute of Quantity Surveyors of Kenya), AAK ( Architectural Association of Kenya) and KABSEC (Kenya Association of Building and Civil Engineering Contractors) can also be of great help in championing such causes.
DESIGN & BUILD
Compared to the traditional building process, the client gets to save up to 40% of the construction time and savings of cost up to 20 % of the traditional approach budget. We have signed Strategic Alliance Agreements with Other companies to take care of the rest of the business including Construction, Project Management, IT Consultancy, Interior Design, Mechanical and Electrical Installations and Architecture.

Ujenzibora On the African Story
Africa is our continent. This is our home! It is very important that we begin to think seriously and act positively because our children and our Children’s Children will be spending 50% to 100% of their life in Africa.
PROJECTS
I engage in various projects personally both as a Registered Quantity Surveyor and through my other Companies, Davethan Consult and Ujenzibora Investments Limited. Here is a brief preview of the selected few:-
Construction Supply Chain : Is there room for improvement?
Innovation could be a major step out of what Sir. Harold Emerson said in 1964, that "In no other important industry is the responsibility for the design so far removed from the responsibilities of production".

Three Key Players in the the Low-Cost Housing Segment
Zenith Housing is an ISO 9001:2008 certified steel fabrication firm that specializes in the design, fabrication and erection of all types of structural steel works. Zenith Housing has recently launched the “Zen House’ residential division within the company that promises to construct houses in a record Eight Weeks.
There has been an increase in the number of requests for short-term accommodation at Ujenzibora Property in the recent past. Though we are trying to meet the demand, we believe there is a remote possibility of creating some new market for short-term accommodation.
The Concept:
For most people, their earthly possessions is the most dear thing they have. This mainly comes in terms of what they drive, wear or sleep in. However, this is not the same for minimalists and persons who are always on the go (sojourners). If you visit the homes of most people, you will find that it is the most perfect collection of junk in town….
Quick Change:
What would happen if we changed that arithmetic and we turned your home into a Business?

Instead of paying rent for the junk, we de-clutter your home and then allow sojourners to pay you for using the “furnished house” say at an agreed rate of Kshs. 5,000 per day?
For that to happen, you must first create order out of the present chaos. Each room should have approximately 5 Items only. In other words the sitting room/lounge will look something like this…

No clutter, just life in the Living Room. Maybe you can read the Short Guide to Getting Rid of your Crap…
New Happiness at no Extra Cost
By de-cluttering, you will create more room to live and enjoy your life. Because you will be paid to own things, you can now afford a better lifestyle, go out more often to experience the other faucet of life…. and probably rent out a second apartment and furnish it cost-free
In any case, Henry David Thoreau was right when he said,
“A man is rich in proportion to the things he can afford to let alone.”
I think the best people to venture in this kind of business are Bachelors….as they would make the perfect minimalists. They can easily rent out their apartment and go party or spend “elsewhere”.
