Our Services

Building Income, from the Ground Up

You already have the dream. We’ll help you build the income that funds it.

At Ground Up Solutions, we design and construct modern, standardized homes that are ready to rent on short stay or long-term stay — turning your savings or land into a steady source of passive income.

Whether you’re starting with KES 1 million in savings or you already own land, we help you get trustworthy financing and manage your build from design to delivery.

How It Works

    1. Choose Your Design

    Browse our catalog of minimalist cottages and 2–3 bedroom homes — proven layouts optimized for rental yield.

    2. Finance Smart

    With at least KES 1 million saved, we connect you to vetted financing partners to top up and fast-track your project.

    3. We Build for You

    Our architectural and site teams handle approvals, construction, and finishing with fixed pricing and timelines.

    4. You Start Earning

    Once complete, list your home on Airbnb or lease it. Your property begins to pay you back.

(Ground Up Solutions is a build facilitator — not a lender or property manager.)
