How to request house construction quotes

01

Tell us about the project

Give your county and area, the work required, drawing status and preferred timing. Include your budget if you have one.

02

Review and send

Check your details, then sign in to send your enquiry. If you do not have a project yet, we create one from your details when you submit.

03

Compare and choose

Qualified contractors share quotes for your project. Compare up to five proposals per round, depending on availability. Five responses are not guaranteed.

Compare the work behind each price

Give building and construction companies the same brief so their quotations answer the same question. Before choosing a contractor, check:

Already have quotes? Ask for help reviewing them rather than starting a new search.

Tell us where the site is

Use the actual county and town or area in your enquiry. If you are searching for Nairobi construction firms but your plot is in Kiambu, Kajiado or Machakos County, enter that location so providers can consider travel and site arrangements.

Provider availability depends on your location, the work and the proposed timing. An enquiry does not reserve a contractor or a start date.

Before you enquire

Is MyJenga a construction company?

MyJenga helps you prepare a request, receive provider proposals and decide who to hire. The selected construction company carries out the agreed work. Ask who will manage your build and what their quotation covers.

How do I choose a contractor?

Ask about similar residential projects, check references and credentials, and compare the proposed scope, price and terms. Ask who will manage your build and how progress and changes will be communicated.

Can I enquire without drawings?

Yes. Say what information you have. If the design is still undecided, planning advice may be a more useful first step. Detailed quotations need a sufficiently clear description of the work.

How much does it cost?

Sending a homeowner enquiry is free. Each provider proposes their price for the work. Any separately commissioned design or quantity-surveying advice has an agreed scope and fee.

Do I need an account to enquire?

You can fill in your details first. Sign in or create an account when you’re ready to send your enquiry.
