Building Cost Guides for Uganda

Building cost guides for Uganda explain what a house or other building costs to build, and why two quotes for the same plan can differ. Each guide covers one decision: the cost of a house, a 3- or 4-bedroom home, the cost per square metre, and what drives construction costs across building types.

We do not publish a price without drawings, because a figure without a design misleads. Instead, these guides show you how a builder arrives at a price, what to put in your brief, and how to read the bill of quantities (BOQ) you receive. They are written by our civil engineer and reviewed against the way we price our own projects. When you are ready for a number, send us your drawings for an itemised quote.
