Construction Costs · 6 min read

How much does it cost to build a house in Uganda?

What actually drives the cost of a home — and why a rate per square metre only tells part of the story.

Why a single rate is misleading

Construction cost in Uganda varies with location, ground conditions, structural design, specification and how the works are procured. A rate per square metre is a starting reference, not a budget. [ADD VERIFIED LOCAL COST GUIDANCE]

The cost drivers that matter most

Foundations and site works, structural spans, roof complexity, window and door specification, and finishes typically account for the majority of variation between two houses of the same size. [EXPAND WITH KRETE PROJECT DATA]

Building a realistic budget

A workable budget separates design and approvals, construction, finishes, external works and a contingency. Decide the contingency before starting, not after the first variation. [EXPAND]
