26th may design meeting
Suzanne Kamotho Mark Paul
Mark mixing two and three beds in the same block is a bad plan. As they are of a different standard. So at least within a block you should not mix the two sizes.
Suzanne says three bed rooms sell for a better price.
kamotho if we have three bed at the back we must lose parking (back is on the right on the way into the main gate.)
Mark prices 4.5 and 6.5 m Suzanne says that is about right.
Move toilet window over the toilet in the three bed bathroom.
Move kitchen doors to the middle of the outside wall to gain another row of cupboards. And to the middle of the inside wall.
Don't overlap bed room cupboards with beds. Beds are 2.2 meters
Do we want front balconies? Suzanne Answer Glaze/cover in the balcony. Make it a conservatory.
Mark move the second bathroom to beside the living room in the the bedroom. And only have TWO bathrooms in the three bedroom. Kamotho to change the bedroom design.
Mark need to do change of user before NEMA. Kamotho says that is indeed the official line but you can go ahead with Nema before change of user is approved.
Change of user two weeks, kamotho. Algimation almost done.
If no nema reply within ninety days then you can assume approval.
Suzanne get on with gov approvals. Design is enough. K agrees.
Renders company for advertising.
Move window in two bedroom master away from bed.
Suzanne and Kamotho to exchange diagrams. Please do CC Paul and Mark!

Architectural Design Meeting 10th May
Made the front door to each apartment large to allow for furniture and other large objects to enter the apartment. Paul
move toilet at the front door to beside the master bedroom wall. Kamotho
Mark said that the correct measurements of the plot are 60.5 * 25.7 meters. This means there will not be much room for parking. If the parking is at the "back" of the plot then both of those blocks will now have to be all 2 bebroom. The "back" is the two blocks on the right as you go through the main entrance.
The only possible ratios of 2 bed to 3 bed apartments are
4 to 4 50%
3 to 5 37.5%
2 to 6 25%
1 to 7 12.5%
The first block should be on the LEFT as you go in the main gate. The main gate is on the short side of the plot. This is to test the market
Kamotho noted that we may require underground parking.
Kamotho submitted exterior 3d views which were generally approved of by those present. Lots of natural stone, a bay windows and other decorations to improve the look of the rectangular block.
If more 3 beds are needed they will have to be build on the front side where there is no parking.

Architectural Design meeting 27th April
Attendance Mark, Paul, Komdo, Stephen
Komodo amended the drawings from the previous meeting on the 20th April
Comments on the new drawings
Mark, Paul, Stephen liked the new design.
Stephen said the rooms were bigger than the rooms in the apartments we had been shown.
Komodo wondered if the dinette could be added back in the 2 beds, adding about one meter to the width of the building. Paul wondered about the added cost. Komodo wondered what this would do to the parking outside. This option was left open.
Komodo noted the balconies were now smaller due to the proximity to the boundary. Stairwell was made smaller than before.
Mark wondered if 5 floors was a good idea from the perspective of selling.
Komodo or was it Stephen said that the council would approve 5 floors even if we had our own sceptic tanks as the fault was theirs that sewage had not been provided
Parking is still a issue. Paul said we should put the parking under the second set of blocks to be built not the first. That is the blocks furthest from the gate.
Komodo said the water tank should be moved to behind the store in that corner of the plot.
Komodo agreed to go to the 3d phase of the drawings to work on the look
NEMA only require provisional designs
Paul & Mark to get the interior designer involved.
Project plan
Mark said we were going to get a Foreman to supervise the main structure. Not a contractor. Paul agreed. Urgent action!
Mark and Paul want to buy a lorry.
Due to the proximity of the elections it was agreed to try and start work 1st august
Komodo said NEMA would take 2 1/2 months
Projecttimeline
Nema ================== 9 weeks
Arch Drawings ====== 3 weeks
Struct Drawings ==== 2 weeks
Approval Council ==== 2 weeks
BoQs == 1 week??
Mech/Elec Design == 1 week?
Changse of user ===== ? weeks
Amalgamation of titles ====== ? weeks
Nema is the bottlenexk on the project. The cost of NEMA is 0.05% of the building cost. Around 40,000ksh
Pauls Thoughts after the meeting
we originally said that 70% of apartments would be 2 bed and 30% three bed. The ratio must be either 6 to 2 or 7 to 1 or 5 to 3
Komodos outside drawing show all blocks part 2 bed and part 3 bed. Which we have agreed will not
be the case. Some blocks will be all 2 bed depending on the ratio above.
A option for a more open plan kitchen /dinning???? At least make some walls non structural. But do we really want to gibe this option to clients on a low cost project.
Comments / corrections welcome.
