Our main office recently moved into a newly built block at Westlands, Nairobi and could not help but notice that most office floors in that building are finished in plastic tiles.
Plastic tiles are now the new vibe and typical of Kenyans, everyone is installing them.
I could not help but wonder why.
Are they really that good than traditional options such as ceramic or porcelain tiles?
What is a plastic tile?

If you don’t know Darajani, it is an informal settlement in Kibera. In other words, it is a slum.
Slums in Nairobi are many and spread all over the city. They include Mathare, Korogocho, Lucky Summer, and many others.
So now, I asked Sam how his fortunes had changed.
He excitedly informed me that he is now a proud slumlord at Darajani, housing 40 tenants. Each...

Recently, a heated discussion comparing Gypsum and plaster ceilings erupted between one of these popular online contractors and myself on Facebook.
The contractor had posted a video advising people or in his own opinion, potential clients that while building a house, they can save a lot of cost by going for gypsum rather than the normal “boring” plaster and paint ceiling.
Being a construction cost consultant, I found his comments not only laughable but also very misleading.
And here is...
Starting small in farming doesn’t mean staying small. There are crops you can grow with minimal inputs and expand into large scale production, creating opportunities for bigger profits.

Watch the entire original broadcast of one of the most celebrated documentaries of all time, 1960's "Harvest of Shame," in which Edward R. Murrow exposed the plight of America's farm workers. Witness the painful scenes of slavery repackaged as employment as workers are ferried for thousands of kilometers to work for meager pay under inhumane conditions.
