The Institute of Quantity Surveyors of Kenya (IQSK) is the latest professional body in the building and construction fraternity to criticise the affordable housing project in the government’s “Big Four” agenda. But land is a major challenge to affordable housing in the country, Mr Mandere pointed out. The association further said that for the affordable housing project to be realised, the Building Code must be revoked. But even if the affordable housing project succeeds, the houses will still not be enough. He welcomed the affordable housing project under the Big Four Agenda as “a promising undertaking that, if well implemented, would spur growth in the local construction sector”.
