At Eloi Developers, we are proud to be at the forefront of house construction in Thika, helping clients turn their dream homes into reality, whether local or living abroad. One of our current projects is a custom residential located in the serene and fast-growing Salama Estate, Thika, for a Kenyan client working overseas. This blog post gives you a behind-the-scenes look and our progress so far, our involvement, and how we ensure seamless delivery, even with the client miles away.

Project Background: Building While Abroad

Our client, a Kenyan working abroad, entrusted Eloi Developers with building a modern family home in Salama Estate. Being away from the country, they needed a trusted construction company in Kenya to manage every aspect of the project—from documentation to delivery. This is an example of our dedication to offering full-service diaspora house construction in Kenya.
