Suam Border Post Affordable Housing Programme (AHP)
Maili Tatu, Suam, Trans-Nzoia County · National Government — Ministry of Lands, Public Works, Housing and Urban Development
Challenge
Under Kenya’s Affordable Housing Programme (Boma Yangu), the State Department for Housing and Urban Development needed the Suam Border Post site accurately set out on the ground before construction of new housing and related social and physical infrastructure could begin.
Our Approach
Our survey team carried out full site set-out using RTK GNSS positioning — placing beacons at boundary corners and building lines, and verifying cut-slope levels with a total station and leveling staff — directly from the architect’s design, so the construction crew could break ground with a reliable reference grid.
Outcome
Accurate plot and building layouts set out on-site under Contract No. MLPWHUD/SDHUD/AHP/580/2024-2025, allowing phased construction to proceed without costly re-measurement or boundary disputes.
