Somalia’s First Precast Concrete Factory Opens

[Medeea]

Construction in Xamar is too expensive. A G+3 building costs 3x-4x more than in Egypt. I asked my dad, he said it’s because literally everything is imported.

This new precast factory is great news. It will cut costs by 15–25% and speed up building up to 60%. A steel fab factory opened recently, and a prefab factory is coming soon, which will reduce costs even more.

Now they just need to open a cement plant to really bring prices down.

This is the best news in a minute. The rapid reconstruction of Mogadishu will pace up even quicker now that the construction prices will come down

All of these buildings will multiply exponentially with better home equipment quality. Just better urban planning, in particular waste/sewage system and roads provided by the BRA and Xamar will be on its way to competing with other capitals in the region
