What You Must Check Before Buying an Apartment in Kenya | with Gurmukh Panesar

Описание: Is your dream home a ticking time bomb? 🏗️💔

In this eye-opening episode, we sit down with Gurmukh Singh, Principal Architect at Grasp Design and Vice Chair of the Kenya Green Building Society. We dive deep into the uncomfortable truth behind Kenya's construction industry—from the "systemic failure" causing buildings to collapse to the "checkbook exercises" where registered architects sign off on projects they never actually supervise.
