About Runda
Runda, Muthaiga and Gigiri sit at the top of Nairobi's residential market. Gigiri's proximity to the UN complex and the diplomatic missions shapes the area — a meaningful share of housing is built or held to let to institutional tenants, which puts a floor under specification standards.
Projects here are typically large standalone homes on controlled, often gated, plots, with clients who are specifying to a standard rather than to a budget ceiling. A significant portion of owners are abroad, which makes remote oversight a practical requirement rather than a nice-to-have.
Where a home may be let to a diplomatic or institutional tenant, the finish and services standard is inspected rather than assumed. We specify and supervise to a standard that holds up to that scrutiny, and document it — which also serves owners who are not in the country to look themselves.
Many plots sit within controlled or gated developments with their own covenants on height, boundary treatment and construction hours, layered on top of county requirements. We check both before design, since estate covenants are frequently the tighter constraint.

Yes. Remote oversight is standard for this area: scheduled photo and video updates, and video walkthroughs of the site at agreed stages. See our diaspora construction service for how the full arrangement works.
Often more than the county rules do — height, boundary walls, roof materials and working hours are all commonly covenanted. We review the estate's own rules alongside the statutory requirements before finalising a design.
