Karen Project

Ground up are legit. We started the project while in the US and figured that we won't be coming back to Kenya anytime soon. The project was completed in time, we got a tenant that was so good and eventually got a good deal from the sale of the property. Because of the build quality the rental income was good and when we decided to sell the house, it was hot cake. Try them and see for yourself. Keep it up Ground up guys.

I'm happy to have gotten good people with all round expertise. We designed, got financing, approvals and built a good quality house. My family is happy to have an income generating house that is doing so well. Ground up solutions thank you. I wouldn't have been able to do this without you.

Rongai House

The care we were given through the process was amazing, the finish quality always makes tenants fall in love at first sight. I think the housing market is being disrupted by these guys. I don't feel like I'm in competition for tenants with those around me. Kudos Ground up.

Premium quality finish
